Little Simz - Introvert lyrics

There's a war, there's a war

The kingdom's on fire
The blood of a young messiah
I see sinners in a church
I see sinners in a church
Sometimes I might be introvert
There's a war inside, I hear battle cries
Mothers burying sons
Young boys playing with guns
The devil's a liar
Fulfil your wildest desires
Now I don't wanna be the one to doctor this
But if you can't feel pain
Then you can't feel the opposite
The fight between the Yin and Yang's
A fight you'll never win i study humans
That makes me an anthropologist
I'm not into politics
But I know it's dark times
Parts of the world still living in apartheid
(Thеre's a war, there's a war)
But if I don't takе this winner's flight
That's career suicide
Though I should've been a friend
When your grandma died
I see the illness eat my
Aunt laying in her bed
I see her soul rising as her
Body gets closer to death
Find a way, I'll find a way
The world's not over
I will make it, don't you cry
In God we trust 'Cause we're not alone

I need a licence to feel
Internal wounds and I'm not tryna be healed
(No, I don't, no, I don't)
I sabotage what we are trying to build
'Cause of feelings I keep inside
But it's time to reveal (Reveal, reveal)
I hate the thought of just being a burden
I hate that these conversations are surfaced
Simz the artist or Simbi the person?
To you I'm smiling, but really, I'm hurting
I dedicate my life and gave
My heart over twenty-something years
Left wondering how I even feel
But was it even worth it?
I bottle up and then spill it in verses
One day, I'm wordless, next day
I'm a wordsmith
Close to success, but to happiness
I'm the furthest at night
I wonder if my tears will dry on their own
Hoping I will fulfil Amy's purpose
Angel said
"Don't let you ego be a disturbance"
Inner demon said, "Motherfucker
You earned this" like they strip you of
Everything you're deserving
Realise there is a prison in us
We are conditioned as fuck
Man, it's like they can't sleep
Till our spirit is crushed
How much fighting must we do?
We've been fearless enough
All we seen is broken homes here and poverty
Corrupt government officials, lies
And atrocities how they talking on what's
Threatening the economy?
Knocking down communities to
Re-up on properties i'm directly affected
It does more than just bother me
Look beyond the surface
Don't just see what you wanna see
My speech ain't involuntary
Projecting intentions straight from my lungs
I'm a Black woman and I'm a proud one
We walk in blind faith
Not knowing the outcome
But as long as we're unified
Then we've already won
Find a way, I'll find a way
The world's not over
I will make it, don't you cry
In God we trust 'Cause we're not alone

Sometimes I can be introvert
Feels like, feels like
Feels like I can be introvert
Feels like, feels like
Feels like I can be introvert
Sometimes I can be introvert

And so it begins
The base is an amalgamation of everything
Rules are not to be played by rebels
The story of never-ending
Your introversion led you here
Intuition protected you along the way
Feelings allowed you to be well balanced
And perspective gave you foresight
The top of the mountain is
Nothing without the climb
Only the strong will survive
Only the strong (Will survive)
Alone, but not lonely
Your truth unveils with time
As you embark on a journey
Of what it takes to be a woman
