[Little Simz - Sideways lyrics]
Yeah
Toxic people get removed from
Where I'm stayin' trust me
You can leave with that same
Energy you came with
My pen is psychedelic, inject it
They pop pills just to get to
Where my spirit naturally is, pardon the kid
They say Black don't crack
My complexion is iridescent
A student might be the one to
School you on many lessons
You ain't seen the type of shit that I have
When you men have your daughters
You'll see how important I am
No cappin' in these scriptures, if I'm lyin'
I'm dyin' i might serenade myself
Sweet melodies hittin' like a ton of bricks
You followed the fashion
Meanwhile I was on some other shit
On some distant lover shit
Heatin' up the oven quick
Seein' what we're doin' over here
Will have you jumpin' ship
Right now, this ain't music one overlooks
So in doin' that
You must be as dumb as you look it's funny
I find it funny, our relationship with money
We already mentally spent the damn check
That's what happens when you don't know
When you'll get the bag next
Mmm, yeah yeah, I hear all that
Look, don't get too attached to
A version that you're seein'
'Cause friends come and go like
The change in the seasons
La-Shaun, that's my nigga
It's forever all love
'Cah we don't diss each other
Even when we disagree and
I'm ready to become all I believe in
The devil can't illuminate my bein'
When God is omnipresent, overseein'
I'm takin' notes from every book I'm readin'
I didn't know the word "no"
Could be so freein'
Respectfully, you ain't got a check for me
Only I know how I feel and what's best for me
Eventually, they'll get that I'm
Here as a vessel
Stop playin' with God and your destiny
I am everything they never was
Never meant to be i'm a queen in my city
Got royal-like tendencies
Walkin' in my light
My shadow is protectin' me
Never movin' sideways
I done this shit my way and I say
Toxic people get removed from
Where I'm stayin' trust me
You can leave with that same
Energy you came with
My pen is psychedelic, inject it
They pop pills just to get to
Where my spirit naturally is, pardon the kid
They say Black don't crack
My complexion is iridescent
A student might be the one to
School you on many lessons
You ain't seen the type of shit that I have
When you men have your daughters
You'll see how important I am
No cappin' in these scriptures, if I'm lyin'
I'm dyin' i might serenade myself
Sweet melodies hittin' like a ton of bricks
You followed the fashion
Meanwhile I was on some other shit
On some distant lover shit
Heatin' up the oven quick
Seein' what we're doin' over here
Will have you jumpin' ship
Right now, this ain't music one overlooks
