Little Simz - No Merci lyrics

Who you

Who you know gettin' busy
With the force? Like, haha
Laugh 'cause we good, that's hakuna matata
Bet you wanna see a Black woman get active
Whenever they chat shit, I just say nada
Free from the BS, I was carryin' the weight
Bein' stuck up in the matrix, it's a rat race
Givin' 'em our truth and
They gave us blackface
Why you wanna make a mockery of my pain?
Way too long we been carryin' the shame
If we knew we had magic
Would we put needles in our veins?
That's that selling-us-a-lie shit
Keep us low, then we get high quick
And it doesn't change i was down and out
Had my bank account untamed
Trustin' of thе people billin'
Evеry call made
Everybody here gettin' money off my name
Irony is I'm the only one not gettin' paid
You've been tannin' in the sun
So now I'ma throw shade
I probably paid for your Balmain
Know you're good at sellin'
Me the nigga dream
One M might just make a nigga scream, "Nigga
We made it" gimme equity if you about it
We been here climbin' these mountains
Trekkin' through the rain
Ownership is the only conversation
We can have takin' the throne back
You shouldn't have got attached no mercy
No

Free the birds, tuppence a bag
Hella diamonds in the stash
Currency in cash
Put the bullshit in the trash
Niggas ridin' out, got the Bible on the dash
"God, do everything you can to
Prevent us from a crash"
You know that I'm unapologetically Black
I can see it make you nervous here
You ain't gotta act i'm a human landmine
I am not a human being you can gaslight
If the contract more than two page
It's a bad sign i was convinced it was fine
It's my damn time
Sixteen, callin' America on the landline
Thank God that my brother kept the flashlight
Needed guidance through the dark
I know sad times
I know good hearts, you is bad mind
Everything is archived
I can never be stopped
Can't get through to me
You'll see that you been blocked no mercy

Don't get lost in the sauce when he talk
Take your time, be sure
They want you rushin' life decisions
Over a three-course meal
Next thing you know, you're doin' free tours
I can put you on game, power in your name
The minute you sell that
Everything is gonna change
What would happen if you
Bought into their vision?
And what would happen if you
Put your people in positions?
You ain't in the studio with me
But want commission
And if I wanna release my art
I need permission
There's hidden agendas here we should unpack
Forgive me if I'm yakked
I'm just genuinely baffed
Please don't ever sell your soul, it's a trap
They want me talkin' online
But I put it in my raps
Looks like I'm the only one spittin' facts
I'm finally free and now
They hopin' I relapse no mercy
No mercy

They been hurting you do yourself a favour
They do not deserve you
You can't be their saviour
You're only human too do yourself a favour
They do not deserve you
You can't be their saviour
You're only human too do yourself a favour
They do not deserve you
You can't be their saviour
You're only human too
