Angel

Never cared about being immortalised How can I stand with the opps and not with the tribe? They sell you a dream and they want you to glorify Got a rude awakenin', by ignorin', I pull the signs Why did I give you the keys to authorize shit on my behalf? Now, I'm scarred and mortified What did I expect from those livin' the corporate life? Unfortunately, honesty isn't normalised Had to get my shit together and get organised If your hand's in my pockets, I'm calling up all the guys Though, I don't wanna be the reason of more divide Guess that's in my nature of being a water sign I'm sorta like, nothing is making sense in my awkward mind Give me your ears, and let me feel the night Shooting in the dark, guess I never saw the light Revoke access, I'm running it back, yes Missing opportunities, I wish I was that pressed Yeah, I say that shit with my damn chest You need me and you feel the loss of my absence The novelty wears off after a few years After a few tears from challenging new fears Learning everything I didn't on the come up We was too busy making music 'till the sun up Everyday through the summer Didn't learn the business, and now I'm ducking for cover What a fuck up Might just leave a bad taste thinking I'm a sucker Come up out my damn face, nigga, did I stutter? It gon' be a sad case if you see my brothers I can see how an artist can get tainted, frustrated They don't care if your mental is on the brink of something dark As long as your cutting somebody's payslip And sending their kids to private school in a spaceship Yeah, I refuse to be on a slave ship Give me all my masters and lower your wages Huh, what I'm bringing to the table is more Than the feast for the belly of the beast Didn't know I'm dropping something heavy for the streets Fuck the politics, I'm going Meghan on you neeks I need the best seats in the house When the truth unfolds, it's gonna be one hell of a scene Harry listening from Heaven on repeat He was backing it when nobody believed "Play the game, play the game," is what they scream You can play the game, I don't see the need, no Feel so alive, I woke up and I prayed for a sign I know, good things take time God sent me you as an Angel When your alone, the little thoughts that nobody knows Hardest thing to do was stay strong I knew I needed an Angel My Saturn return in effect Life doesn't come with pre-sets My frequency seamless They want you give more, expect you dream less Got me confessing all my secrets You ain't the only one under deep stress Please, don't take my kindness for a weakness Get G checked for your disrespect Perception and observation is clinical More headspace, I've been shaving off my occipital They say, "You can hate who you don't love" And they say, "Love is unconditional" I ready to do the unthinkable Fuck rules and everything that's traditional Giving your heart to someone Might just, leave you in a, something something Feel so alive, I woke up and I prayed for a sign I know, good things take time God sent me you as an Angel When you're alone, the little thoughts nobody knows Hardest thing to do was stay strong I knew I needed an Angel, an Angel How you go against the same system you was colonised by? Brudda, your whole ting compromised Having these conversations with self, and nobody else Thinking they don't understand my thinking when I socialise I need an Angel with me for armour I need accountability, partner I know that all these blessings are karma I need a fire lit by the seaside Purest manuka up in my beehive Give me a second, and let the beat ride Is there a golden key to the sweet life? I don't know what's gotten into me But, at least I'm making time for self And not others when I got free time New woman, don't tell me I shouldn't just because you couldn't They say, "Don't you give up too much of the truth to 'em" Well, I got nine more songs in the boot for 'em Figured this is the moment, I gotta speak now Head high, back straight, feet down Posture going crazy Had to stand tall while they were trying to break me Fuck that, you niggas didn't make me And, I say you will never infiltrate me Dim my light? Are you crazy? Yo, we two worlds apart, you know, lady, lady, lady Flo and I coming like DeNiro with Scorsese Stop trying to box me, and there's no way you can place me Hit 'em with a classic then I got a little lazy Had to get the pen when I remembered that I'm JAY-Z Had to cut you off because I found out you are snakey I got Angels guiding my steps, guarding my life from now until death Perspective is everything and I wonder what they see Hurt people, hurt people, I get it, but, don't pay me My Saturn return in effect Life doesn't come with pre-sets My frequency seamless So, please don't take my kindness for a weakness Cos I got Angels
