[00:02.95]Composed by：Cleopatra Nikolic/Dean Josiah Cover/Simbiatu Ajikawo
[00:19.67]Never cared 'bout bein' immortalised
[00:21.79]How can I stand with the opps and not with the tribe
[00:24.05]They sell you a dream and then want you to glorify
[00:26.24]Got a rude awakenin' by ignorin' up all the signs
[00:28.93]Why did I give you the keys to authorise **** on my behalf
[00:32.08]Now I'm scarred and mortified
[00:33.82]What did I expect from those livin' the corporate life
[00:35.84]Unfortunately honesty isn't normalised
[00:38.65]Had to get my **** together and get organised
[00:40.71]If your hand's in my pockets I'm callin' up all the guys
[00:43.33]Though I don't wanna be the reason of more divide
[00:45.72]Guess that's in my nature of bein' a water sign
[00:48.70]I'm sort of like
[00:51.20]Nothing is makin' sense in my awkward mind
[00:53.53]Give me your ears to lend me for the night
[00:55.69]Shootin' in the dark guess I never saw the light
[00:58.00]Revoke access I'm runnin' it back yes
[01:00.20]Missin' opportunities I wish I was that pressed
[01:03.34]Yeah I say that **** with my d**n chest
[01:05.19]You need me and you feel the loss of my absence
[01:07.45]The novelty wears oft after a few years
[01:10.04]After a few tears from challengin' new fears
[01:12.44]Learnin' everything I didn't on the come up
[01:14.58]We was too busy makin' music till the sun up
[01:17.77]Every day through the summer
[01:19.47]Didn't learn the business and now I'm duckin' for cover
[01:21.99]What a **** up
[01:23.08]Might just leave a bad taste thinkin' I'm a sucker
[01:25.27]Come up out my d**n face n***a did I stutter
[01:27.84]It's gon' be a sad case if you see my brothers
[01:30.33]I can see how an artist can get tainted frustrated
[01:34.14]They don't care if your mental is on the brink of somethin' dark
[01:36.64]As long as you're cuttin' somebody's payslip
[01:38.82]And sendin' their kids to private school in a spaceship
[01:41.17]Yeah I refuse to be on a slave ship
[01:43.69]Give me all my masters and lower your wages
[01:46.03]Huh what I'm bringin' to the table
[01:47.92]Is more than a feast for the belly of the beast
[01:50.60]Didn't know I'm droppin' somethin' heavy for the streets
[01:52.99]**** the politics I'm goin' Meghan on you neeks
[01:55.29]I need the best seats in the house
[01:57.13]When the truth unfolds it's gonna be one hell of a scene
[02:00.41]Harry listenin' from Heaven on repeat
[02:02.81]He was backin' it when nobody believed
[02:05.09]"Play the game play the game" is what they scream
[02:07.55]You can play the game I don't see the need no
[02:09.94]Feel so alive
[02:12.86]I woke up and I prayed for a sign
[02:17.57]I know good things take time
[02:22.09]God sent me you as an angel
[02:28.87]When you're alone
[02:31.90]The little thoughts that nobody knows
[02:36.67]Hardest thing to do was stay strong
[02:41.27]I knew I needed an angel
[02:43.76]My Saturn return in effect
[02:46.11]Life doesn't come with presets
[02:47.90]My frequency's seamless

[03:01.91]Perception and observation is clinical
[03:04.02]More headspace I've been shavin' off my occipital
[03:06.59]They say you can't hate who you don't love
[03:09.51]And they say love is unconditional
[03:11.58]I'm ready to do the unthinkable
[03:13.72]**** rules and everything that's traditional
[03:16.54]Giving your heart to someone might
[03:19.30]Just leave you in a somethin' somethin'

[04:09.11]How you go against the same system you were colonised by
[04:12.37]Brother your whole ting compromised
[04:14.14]Havin' these conversations with self and nobody else
[04:16.27]Thinkin' they don't understand my thinkin' when I socialise
