Little Simz - Little Q, Pt. 2 lyrics

La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la

Grew up in the South side
Of that River Thames
Hard to think outside the box when
You're stuck in the Ends
I had dreams of many things as a youngin
I was fourteen when the
Streets offered tough lovin'
Older brother went to jail
Daddy weren't around
No choice now but to be the man of the house
If you're talking role models
Nowhere to be seen
You can't fathom what I think 'til
You been where I been pTSD from the roads
Trouble was everywhere that I looked
Hard to avoid it even if I just
Kеpt my head in my books
There ain't no еasy way out
Drownin' internally
When you're stuck in a ocean of
Doubt with all this uncertainty
Lived bein' angry my whole life like
It's part of my DNA
I couldn't tell you why it
Became something that we embraced
Then we take that same anger and
Turn it into someone else's pain
Nothing's changed here
The cycle still remains

Mama told me my sun will shine
We don't decide everything in God's time
And when mama told me, I prayed to God
To walk with me, my journey's begun
See, my mama told me my sun will shine
We don't decide everything in God's time
And when mama told me, I knew that I
Was strong inside, but we all cry sometimes

Shit changed when I had a
Brief encounter with death
Thought the pearly gates opened when that
Knife was in my chest not the mental scars
The physical's all you see
But the boy that stabbed me is
Just as damaged as me i could have been the
Reflection that he hated
The part of him he wishes God
Did not waste time creating
The broken homes in which we're comin' from
But who's to blame when
You're dealt the same cards from
The system you're enslaved in?
It's fucking mayhem
Imagine being in a hospital
Wired up to the machines
They told me I had been in
A coma for two weeks
But time is an illusion
My mind told me I'm invincible
But my body reminded me I'm human
When you're so close to the Heavens
God shows you who's there
Nowhere to be seen are the
People who said they care
This must've been written for people
Who came to read it
'Cause life gave me a second chance
And many never see it, q

Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la
(We eat from a tree
Full of forbidden fruit's)
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la
(Not about what you see
But what lives in the wound)
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la
(We eat from a tree
Full of forbidden fruit's)
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la
(We all know real criminals live in the suit)
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la
(Like the sun in the sky)
La la la la, la la la la
(Spread your wings, fly)
La la la la, la la la la, la la
(We're going high)
(We all know real criminals live in the suit)
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la
(Like the sun in the sky)
La la la la, la la la la
(Spread your wings, fly)
La la la la, la la la la, la la
(We're going high) like the sun in the sky
Spread your wings, fly we're going high
Like the sun in the sky
Spread your wings, fly we're going high
(Spread your wings, fly, fly)
