Lyrics
The kingdoms on fire The blood of a young messiah I see sinners in a church I see sinners in a church Sometimes I might be introvert There’s a war inside I hear battle cries Mothers burying sons Young boys playing with guns The devils a liar Fulfil your wildest desires Now I don’t wanna be the one to doctor this But if you can’t feel pain then you can’t feel the opposite The fight between the ying and yang is a fight you’ll never win I studying humans that makes me an anthropologist I’m not into politics But I know it’s darks times Parts of the world still living in apartheid But if I don’t take this winners flight That’s career suicide Though I should’ve been a friend when your grandma died I see the illness eat my aunt laying in her bed I see her soul rising as her body gets closer to death
Find a way I’ll find a way The worlds not over I will make it don’t you cry In God we trust Cos we’re not alone
I need a licence to feel Internal wounds and I’m not tryna be healed I sabotage what we are trying to build Cos of feelings I keep inside but it’s time to reveal I hate the thought of just being a burden I hate that these conversations are surfaced Simz the artist or Simbi the person To you smiling but really hurting I dedicate my life and gave my heart over 20 something years left wondering how I even feel Or was it was even worth it I bottle up and then spill it verses One day I’m wordless next day I’m a wordsmith Close to success but to happiness I’m the furthest At night I wonder if my tears will dry on their own Hoping I will fulfil Amy’s purpose Angel said don’t let you ego be a disturbance Inner demon said mother fucker you earned this Like they strip you of everything your deserving Realise there is a prison is us We are conditioned as fuck Man It’s like they can’t sleep till our spirit is crushed How much fighting must we do we been fearless enough All we see is broken homes here and poverty Corrupt government officials lies and atrocities How they talking on what threatening the economy Knocking down communities to re up on properties I’m directly effected It does more than just bother me Look beyond the surface don’t just see what you wanna see My speech ain’t involuntary Project with intention straight from my lungs I’m a black woman and I’m proud one We walk in blind faith not knowing the outcome But as long as we unified then we’ve already won
Find a way I’ll find a way The worlds not over I will make it don’t you cry In God we trust Cos we’re not alone
And so it begins The base is an amalgamation of everything Rules are not to be played by rebels The story of never ending Your introversion led you here Intuition protected you along the away Feelings allowed you to be well balanced And perspective gave you forsight The top of the mountain is nothing without the climb Only the strong will survive Only the strong will survive Alone but not lonely Your truth unveils with time As you embark on a journey Of what it takes to be a woman
