Tainted - Little Simz

She thinks

She thinks the world revolves around her, what she thinks

She blinks and sees nothing but flowers and leaves

Everything’s rosy in her eyes

Closed-minded and blinded by the lights, makeup is her disguise

An insight of her life is nothing short of a lie

Money and time is nonexistent but to her, it’s all that matters

Always knew I’d be in this position where I’m killing it

Yeah, I’m bragging and I tell 'em how the fuck I’m feeling

Money, money, money, money, yeah, you get the gist

You’re talking 'bout loyalty but you don’t know the meaning

I dare these niggas here to try me, you think you’re the shit

But I’ve been like this from early from when I was teething

How I’m feeling, play my shit at parties, not museums

You can keep your love, it’s just money that I’m reaching for

You can keep your love, it’s the money I’ve been reaching for

Steady bossing, you should know what I’ve got in store

Everything is backwards, can I grow to be immature?

Shit, though, I’ve been leaning, you should know what this light is for

Killing my pride, you are

Here’s the keys to my house and my car, not my heart

But my soul, shit is cold and it’s dark, ooh

I love the paper, nothing will tear us apart, ooh

I love the hate, I know you’re burning, I’m a star

Couple animals that ride with me, Noah’s ark

Fuck the world, I’m rich, remind me who you are?

I don’t do this for the music, fuck your keys and guitars

Just got here and I’m running this shit

I could buy your life if I wanted to, bitch

Invested in a business, my work has made that money flip

Play this in the club, play this to your kids

Play this when you’re faded, have a smoke, have a sip

Have a dab, get loose, let me tell you what it is, uh

See, I don’t owe the world shit, you div

I worked to get here, I’mma tell you how I live

Yeah, this is my lifestyle, either love it or hate it

Old friends look at me, they ain’t happy I made it

Mum looks at me like where’s the daughter I was raising?

She was gone long time, she was way too gracious

Always knew I’d be in this position where I’m killing it

Yeah, I’m bragging and I tell 'em how the fuck I’m feeling

Money, money, money, money, yeah, you get the gist

You’re talking 'bout loyalty but you don’t know the meaning

I dare these niggas here to try me, you think you’re the shit

But I’ve been like this from early from when I was teething

How I’m feeling, play my shit at parties every day

You can keep your love, it’s just money that made me this way

Her whole world crashes and burns, turns to ashes, no looking back now

Having to deal with the fatal impact, how will she react now?

Calls upon things she left in the past due to her rotten attitude,

longing for love again

Only reminiscing, this must be a lesson learnt or two

She looks above and around to ask for forgiveness

From me, from you

S-s-sorry, sorry

Ask God for forgiveness right now

I’m sorry, I’m sorry

Ask family for forgiveness right now

S-s-s-s-s-s-s-sorry, I’m sorry

Ask the world for forgiveness right now

I’m sorry, I’m sorry, s-s-sorry

Ask my people for forgiveness right now

I’m sorry, I’m sorry

Ask God for forgiveness right now

I’m sorry, s-s-s-sorry

Never thought I’d be in this position, this is such a myth

I lost all my money, how the fuck I’m feeling

I wish that I’d done this different when I had the chance

When I tell you that I’m sorry, I promise I mean it

God, I know we ain’t spoke in a little bit

I know I’m not an angel but I’m not a demon

I know I’m not an angel but I’m not a demon

But you can keep your money, it’s just love that I’m needing

Whoa.

Fuck all of that!

Give me the money, the cars, the crib, the keys,

the everything, I mean the key to your life, the key to your soul, get fucked.

Fuck everyone else.

This is me doing what I want, this is what I want, God,

this is what I earned.

If you’re with me, you’re with me, if you’re not then

do one.

This is me, I’m a king, yeah

My soul is tainted, my soul is tainted, my soul is tainted

My soul is tainted, my soul is tainted, my soul is tainted

My soul is tainted, my soul is tainted, my soul is tainted

My soul is tainted, my soul is tainted, my soul is tainted
