Little Simz - Subject Matters lyrics

Yo, oh, oh

If it's meant to be it will be
You try so hard to keep em
Forcing situations
What's the outcome if the income is of value?
Does your morals and your values
Suggest you have no right to an opinion?
Your position that you're in
Does it determine
How your life will pan out?
Running a mile in these shoes
For you to compete i stand out
Would it be necessary?
Military's covering my doubt
I'm giving orders and there be no
Need to say "Roger that"
You should already know I got the
City all in my bag and I be in the studio
All day recording them tracks
To master my craft of learning my art


Cause everything i say is coming
Straight from the heart
I just have to bring it together
Not tear it apart

My words are just my thoughts
I'm just speaking my mind in these lines
And if you can relate
It's up to you to decide but choose right!
And I say

So how do you as a person
As an individual in fact
Distinguish yourself from others
Like what makes you unique?
Do you just follow the crowd
Believe everything that's told to you or
Are you strong minded in the sense
Where you pay no attention
To what people think about you? (Yuh, yuh)
Cause these things count you know
These things count

We come from a land
Where information is elsewhere
We don't need to know we don't need to know?
Well that's BS!
They just want us all to play
The game like on DS
Trying to install eyes up in my brain
Pressing eject do I have the power to do so?
Just like a shotta that has the power to move
Oh, is it easy enough?
Well I don't think it's easy at all
Would you rather have a screw loose
Or just be used as a tool?
And until you think about what
You would rather be
Imma keep spreading my message
Till it's overseas
Trying to educate the people
That listen to me
Cause if you're not learning at
School then listen to me
Yo I ain't trying to say I know everything
Cause nobody can know everything
Just take me in small doses
Like you have medicine
And I can guarantee that you
Will feel better when you listen to this

So, in continuation from by previous question
Which i hope you've at least thought about
I'm not expecting you to give me an answer
Don't worry but!
If you can work out that
Do you don't think you can work
Out your purpose of being here
In terms of your life?
I don't even know if I can
It's just a question I'm throwing out there
For you to think about (Listen)
Who knows you might work it out, who knows

Look understand you're worth more than gold
Never put a price on my soul
It can't be sold! Tryna put some ice on your
Chain but it's getting old
You can never try to complain
This is what you chose
It's one thing tryna put on for your fam
To doing nothing but tryna please your fans
To getting colds from friends
You've never had
Shit like this could really turn anyone mad
But i ain't anyone, or better than anyone
I'm just tryna make music till
It's heard by everyone
See you're shocked or just very stunned
By the way I kill flows and then bury 'em
It's that new god flow but no Mary's son
I know that my god knows I'm the chosen one
See, we laughing now at these slums
But they still laugh about where we from
Please correct me now if I'm wrong: Man
Got a lot to say?
Well it's like fuck what you know
Listen to the song man
Trying to make a stamp in the industry
But it's getting kinda long man
Plus these people saying
"Why you come here go back
To where you belong"
But home is the heart, where I'm from
And there it goes

Alright guys, that's class done for today
Please if you can
Quickly and quietly put your books
On the top shelf
And any paints you've borrowed in a basket
I'm sorry if today was a bit deep
I promise next lesson won't be as deep
We will have a bit of fun
And uh, yeah, that's it you're free to go
(Ay, don't do that, put that back)
(Put it back good)
