Little Simz - Heart On Fire lyrics

(My heart's on f–)

Look honesty between a seller and a
Buyer should be a given
But, man, I didn't know you were a liar
Dropped out of college, still
I made it through the wire
We was tryna hustle whatever was
Ten just for a fiver
"Don't sell yourself short, miss
" said the driver was on my way to gettin'
Caught in the crossfire
I mean, lavish livin', drippin' designer
"Who you wearin'?"
They so enchanted by attire
(My heart's on f–) heart's on fire
Bought the dream with еvery
Penny that I acquired
It's a sеt-up and you'll be
Next up to those prior devil works hard
But the business works harder
I vowed from now to work smarter
They won't do it like us, for the people
By us
Why they wanna fight us? Spirit on higher
God made truth of everything I desire
(My heart's on f–)
I don't need much as long as I got my baby
He a rider he sittin' beside her
That's who she confide in
They want you connivin'
Creepin' with your side ting
Makin' up a story that equals somebody buyin'
New world order 'cause life as
We know is dyin'
Not thrivin', it's only a matter of timin'
Ain't it just funny how you can literally
Give your everything?
Somebody gonna turn around and tell
You you ain't gave enough (My heart's on f–)
Danger, what you afraid of?
Acknowledgin' it's impossible now
To restrain her
Worst thing I could've done is
Put trust in a stranger
But that needed to happen for
Me only to wake up
The suit's'll get in your ear
When your shit poppin'
Lies overflowin' and they ain't stoppin'
You don't even recognise who it
Is that you're becomin'
They don't give a shit long
As the gravy train runnin'
(My heart's on f–)

My life is a blessing
But it comes with the stresses
And I can't take it all
Just don't let me down when I'm in the fire
(My heart's on f–)

We all start off so pure
Do it for the love, nothin' more
Nah, maybe to cop mum a house
But nothin' more
Maybe to sort my cousin out, but nothin' more
Maybe I'll get the new coupe and nothin' more
Fifteen to a hundred shoes, nothin' more
By the time you know it
That list never stop growin'
And you don't know what you even do this for
(My heart's on f–)
Hearts on fire, hearts on grandeur
Ballroom gowns as champagne pours
Is the afterparty a social party?
With everybody talkin'
The music should've been paused
Marble floors and tall glass doors
Is what you're in for
Did you read the clause?
It was never about lookin' for results
Now every time you do something
You need an applause (My heart's on f–)
Please keep your head on when
You're goin' through the maze
'Cause navigatin' the fame is something
You're never trained for
Tell me what you came for
Wanted better days and now
You're runnin' away
From that very thing you prayed for tell me
Am I trippin' or is the light blindin'?
Am I anxious or am I excited?
Am I calm or am I unbothered?
Or maybe I needed my fire to be ignited?
(My heart's on f–) heart's on

My life is a blessing
But it comes with the stresses
And I can't take it all
Just don't let me down when I'm in the fire
(My heart's on f–) my life is a blessing
But it comes with the stresses
And I can't take it all
Just don't let me down when I'm in the fire
(My heart's on f–)

(My heart's on f–)
