Little Simz - She lyrics

We shoulda never raised the bar
(the bar, the bar, the bar, the bar)
They didn't want it from the start
(the start, the start, the start, the start)

Ooh, it's the black sheep
Niggas know I really came
Up from the backseat
Now we take trips around the
World in a flash, true
Go to Shibuya just to ink my skin in Japanese
Make sure that you look into my
Eyes when you see me
And understand I'm Lauryn in her
Prime when you see me
I've got Osiris with me
Know he rule the underworld
Real goddess roll up in this
Bitch lookin' there for Titi

We shoulda never raised the bar
(the bar, the bar, the bar, the bar)
They didn't want it from the start
(the start, the start, the start, the start)

I know that you strugglin' the world, oh
I know that you can't get over your past self
I know you feel no-one can see you
I know that pain's holdin' you back
And I know you still fighting with yourself
Oh
And I know you heard bullets in your church
Oh
And I know you know silence doesn't work, oh
And you know that you controllin' you

A true phase, going through a real maze
No moves, I was in the same place
Get your facts, runnin' in and outta flats
Thirteen tryna get to a
Stack, ten years late, shit
(shit) on my paper shit, skrt skrt
Run the fuck shit, then I changed the gear
That's the hood imbedded in me to the core
Of course, stay drippin' in sauce
Sometimes I wonder (sometimes I wonder)

We shoulda never raised the bar
(the bar, the bar, the bar, the bar, ay)
They didn't want it from the start
(the start, the start, the start, the start)
We shoulda never raised the bar
(the bar, the bar, the bar, the bar)
They didn't want it from the start
(the start, the start, the start, the start)

I know that you strugglin' the world, oh
I know that you can't get over your past self
I know you feel no-one can see you
I know that pain's holdin' you back
And I know you still fighting with yourself
Oh
And I know you heard bullets in your church
Oh
And I know you know silence doesn't work, oh
And you know that you controllin' you

Pisces born Feb 23rd nightfall
Little black girl from the Northside
Runnin' round Ends
Knockin' on the neighbors doors
Your friends you'll never see once
You get to twenty-four
She wanted to see wonders of the world
And more and get to know her true self
Started from the core
The moment that she realized that
Daddy wasn't all there
In her head is when he sat her
Down and promised her a Porsche
Typical, what a sad story, of course
That's the type of pain that
The drugs can't cure
He was sellin' dreams she
Ain't buying no more
He was sellin' dreams she
Ain't buying no more, she don't want that
(she don't want that)

(And you know that you controllin' you)
We shoulda never raised the bar
(the bar, the bar, the bar, the bar)
They didn't want it from the start
(the start, the start, the start, the start)

I know that you strugglin' the world, oh
I know that you can't get over your past self
I know you feel no-one can see you
I know that pain's holdin' you back
And I know you still fighting with yourself
Oh
And I know you heard bullets in your church
Oh
And I know you know silence doesn't work, oh
And you know that you controllin' you
