Sideways

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, injected 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 lying, I'm dying I might serenade myself, sweet melodies hitting like a ton of bricks You follow to fashion me while I was on some other shit on some distant lover shit Heating up the oven quick Seeing what we're doing over here will have you jumping ship Right now this ain't music one overlooks So when doing that you must be as dumb as you look It's funny I find it funny our relationship with money We already mentally spent a damn check That's what happens when you don't know when you'll get the bag next mh, yeah Yeah, I hear all that Look, don't get too attached to the version that you're seeing 'Cause friends come and go like the change in the seasons DeShaun, that's my nigga, it's forever, all love 'Cause 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 being When God is omnipresent, overseeing I'm taking notes from every book I'm reading I didn't know the word "no" could be so freeing Respectfully, you ain't gotta 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 protecting me Never moving sideways, I done this shit my way And I say --- Sideways - Little Simz
