| [00:31.89] |
This is my story, wait, nah |
| [00:35.08] |
This is our story, this is our fate |
| [00:37.00] |
This is our kingdom, this is our place |
| [00:39.09] |
This is our freedom, cut off them chains |
| [00:41.21] |
This is our struggle, this is our pain |
| [00:43.28] |
This is our love, this is our trust |
| [00:45.40] |
This is our daughters, this is our sons |
| [00:47.54] |
Give me back my wings, yeah |
| [00:51.10] |
Oh |
| [00:52.01] |
Give me back my wings, see, I just wanna fly again |
| [00:54.09] |
Wanna try, fail, try to try again |
| [00:56.27] |
Head up in the stars, I promise I'm higher then |
| [00:57.77] |
The right person for the job, you hire then fire them |
| [01:00.45] |
I be working for the same thing, towards the same goal |
| [01:02.67] |
Are we losing the passion in which we came for? |
| [01:05.30] |
I was strong but identifying the same flaws |
| [01:06.97] |
Fighting each other but battling for the same cause, let me breathe |
| [01:10.02] |
Ain't got the time to be your enemy |
| [01:11.48] |
That shit is draining, they're taking up too much energy |
| [01:13.21] |
I'd rather invest in something that's worth it, the time is precious |
| [01:15.58] |
So for Simz to waste it is something you'll never see, hold me to it |
| [01:18.11] |
Everything is just a memory |
| [01:20.04] |
It's getting modest then and never modest then, then I remember |
| [01:22.00] |
I am not fucking about, getting modest is an error |
| [01:24.18] |
I'll be fine as long as I've got my head up, breathe |
| [01:27.21] |
I ain't prayed in a minute |
| [01:28.63] |
Before you judge me, hold that thought and let me finish |
| [01:30.45] |
For a long time I thought that praying was just asking for things |
| [01:32.98] |
Like the road to riches and diamond rings |
| [01:34.65] |
But now I know that I just gotta be thankful |
| [01:36.72] |
Blessings every day, shit, I've got my hands full |
| [01:39.10] |
Lessons every day, I'm learning for more angles |
| [01:41.02] |
Mum, stop stressing over shit that I'mma handle, don't you know? |
| [01:43.68] |
Simbi got you, I ain't even gotta say it |
| [01:45.50] |
The album's here, I hope you love it, hope you play it |
| [01:48.04] |
I know you knew this day would come, I know you prayed it |
| [01:49.96] |
Can't wait to look at you and tell you that I made it |
| [01:52.53] |
It's amazing |
| [01:54.10] |
Good things come to the people that wait and I waited |
| [01:56.66] |
Tell me, do you believe the quote above I stated? |
| [01:59.23] |
Nobody handed me a dream, I had to chase it |
| [02:02.83] |
I had to find my own truth, my own meanings |
| [02:05.10] |
Wrote this in the same bedroom I started in |
| [02:07.25] |
Had to dream big, had to look beyond my ceiling |
| [02:09.73] |
Do you feel it? |
| [02:11.15] |
Hand on my heart, if only you could feel the way it's beating |
| [02:14.13] |
I mean it |
| [02:15.39] |
This the type of music that ain't never gonna sell? Well |
| [02:18.23] |
Shouldn't never ever tell me that |
| [02:19.74] |
Should've never ever told me that |
| [02:21.37] |
What if I prove you wrong? Tell me know, could you live with that? |
| [02:23.80] |
No, you wouldn't wanna live that |
| [02:25.21] |
I ain't saying this'll go to number one, oh, I ain't saying that |
| [02:28.05] |
I know you know that I ain't saying that |
| [02:29.56] |
I just wanna do this all for my people, fuck the rest |
| [02:31.94] |
Give you realness every time, nothing more, nothing less, and it goes like |
| [02:34.83] |
No time for these low-lives |
| [02:36.59] |
I'm onto something bigger all thanks to the most high |
| [02:38.52] |
Becoming more relentless and less defensive, it's in my mechanism |
| [02:41.79] |
Who give a fucks about cosigns? |
| [02:43.06] |
Never scared of killing 'em, something that's too real |
| [02:44.83] |
They don't have to play this, I know that Huw will, and you will |
| [02:47.85] |
No, you can't ignore it |
| [02:49.76] |
Many of us want this life but just ain't cut out for it, yeah |
| [02:52.78] |
So don't you ever |
| [02:55.51] |
Forget who told you this |
| [02:57.03] |
No, don't you ever |
| [02:59.45] |
See, this is for your kids |
| [03:00.93] |
Yeah, don't you ever |
| [03:03.52] |
Overlook this here |
| [03:08.47] |
So this is our message, this is our faith |
| [03:10.59] |
This is our voice, this is our names |
| [03:12.67] |
This is our new, now we want change |
| [03:14.74] |
This is our sun, this is our rain |
| [03:16.97] |
This is our wind, this is our fail |
| [03:19.09] |
This is our hands, how can we help? |
| [03:21.16] |
This is our heaven, this is our hell |
| [03:23.25] |
This is our story, this is our tale, our tale |
