AGE 101 (Director’s Cut)
[Intro: Little Simz]
AGE 101
[Verse 1: Little Simz]
Rastaman told me strangers are the friends we haven’t met yet
What a mind fuck
What a way to show me the world is a small place
It works in obscure ways
We live for the night and do nothing throughout these short days
I’m conscious about, what they will say if I fall?
Will they respect what I’ve done?
Or just bypass all that bull?
I make mistakes and I’ll say it, 'cause I ain't perfect at all
Up in your head is this knowledge that I done came to install
You feel me?
Relax your mind, boy, be so clear
Forget the pride, boy, face your fears
Look at the time
It's gone past what I will call happy hour
Fix up me up a plate of rappers for me to devour
I been up till late, watching Breaking Bad and eating biscuits
When I got uni work that I still ain't finished
And my priority scatters somewhere up in the distance
Too much to think about
But still, I'm steady blowing on this loud
Steady blowing on this loud
Up in space and I ain't ever coming down, no, no, no
I ain't ever coming down, no, no, no
I'm only human, yes, I said it
Kinda fed up with the industry already
Like you give a shit for me, but still want a percentage
Please don’t judge me
Said I'm steady blowing on this loud
Up in space and I ain't ever coming down, no, no, no
I ain't ever coming down, no, no, no
[Verse 2: Little Simz]
Who the fuck you kidding?
I been on the scene now for a minute
Tell me who’s got it if I ain't winning
How you feelin' over there, sittin' in the corner?
All eyes on me when I walk inside the building
I’ve been tryna find a way to balance everything that’s going on
Can I manage painting my
[Break]
(kisses teeth)…Ahh who’s this now!
Hey lil Bezzie!
Yo!
What you tellin me? You rollin out?
I’m recording man!
Ah come through and that!
….cool lemme finish this real quick
[Verse 3]
Oh
Started my own label the journey was painful
From them tellin’ me that I wasn’t able
Put these babies in cradles and rock ‘em to sleep
Won’t mention all the ones that doubted me
Its not that deep
[Hook: Little Simz]
