LYRICS
Never cared about being immortalised
How can I stand with the opps and not with the tribe?
They sell a dream and then want you to glorify
Got a rude awakening by ignoring up all the signs
Why did I give you the keys to authorise?
Shit on my behalf now I’m scarred and mortified
What did I expect from those living a corporate life?
Unfortunately honesty isn’t normalised
Had to get my shit together and get organised
If your hands 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
Im sorta like
Nothing is making sense in my awkward mind
Give me your ears to lend me for 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 thru 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 a feast for the belly of the beast
Didn’t know I’m dropping something heavy for the streets
Fuck the politics I’m going Megan 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 is stay strong
I knew I needed an Angel

My Saturn return in effect
Life doesn’t come with pre-sets
My frequency seemless
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 head space had me 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 your alone
The little thoughts that nobody knows
Hardest thing to do is stay strong
I knew I needed an Angel
An Angel

How you go against the 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 sea side
Purest manuka up in my bee hive
Give me a second and let the beat ride

Is there a golden key to the sweet life?
I don’t know what’s got 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 9 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 De Niro snd Scorsese
Stop trying to box me in there’s nowhere you can place me
Hit ‘em with a classic then I got a little lazy
Had to get the pen when I remembered that Jay-z
Had to cut you off because I found you were 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
