Angel

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Cleopatra Nikolic/Dean Josiah Cover/Simbiatu Ajikawo
[00:19.699] Never cared 'bout bein' immortalised
[00:21.728] How can I stand with the opps and not with the tribe?
[00:24.076] They sell you a dream and they want you to glorify
[00:26.315] Got a rude awakenin', by ignorin', I pull the signs
[00:28.783] Why did I give you the keys to authorize shit on my behalf?
[00:32.128] Now, I'm scarred and mortified
[00:33.552] What did I expect from those livin' the corporate life?
[00:36.057] Unfortunately, honesty isn't normalized
[00:38.480] Had to get my shit together and get organized
[00:40.674] If your hand's in my pockets, I'm callin' up all the guys
[00:43.173] Though, I don't wanna be the reason of more divide
[00:45.446] Guess that's in my nature of bein' the water sign
[00:48.724] I'm sort of like, nothing is makin' sense in my awkward mind
[00:53.668] Give me your ears, and let me feel the night
[00:55.371] Shootin' in the dark, guess I never saw the light
[00:57.922] Revoke access, I'm runnin' it back, yes
[01:00.176] Missin' opportunities, I wish I was that pressed
[01:03.181] Yeah, I say that shit with my damn chest
[01:04.916] You need me and you feel the loss of my absence
[01:07.505] The novelty wears off after a few years, after a few tears from challengin' new fears
[01:12.254] Learnin' everything I didn't on the come up
[01:14.479] We was too busy makin' music 'til the sun up
[01:17.960] Everyday through the summer
[01:19.389] Didn't learn the business, and now, I'm duckin' for cover
[01:22.238] What a **** up
[01:23.067] Might just leave a damn taste thinkin' I'm a sucker
[01:25.363] Come up out my damn face, nigga, did I stutter?
[01:27.668] It's gon' be a sad case if you see my brothers
[01:30.085] I can see how an artist can get tainted, frustrated
[01:33.975] They don't care if your mental is on the brink of somethin' dark
[01:36.725] As long as your cuttin' somebody's payslip
[01:38.680] And sendin' their kids to private school in a spaceship
[01:41.401] Yeah, I refuse to be on the slave shit
[01:43.452] Give me all my masters and lower your wages
[01:46.061] Huh, what I'm bringin' to the table is more than the feast for the belly of the beast
[01:50.230] Didn't know I'm droppin' somethin' heavy for the streets
[01:52.819] **** the politics, I'm goin' Meghan on you neeks
[01:55.183] I need the best seats in the house, when the truth unfolds, it's gonna be one hell of a scene
[01:59.982] Harry listenin' from Heaven on repeat
[02:02.888] He was backin' it when nobody believed
[02:05.209] "Play the game, play the game," is what they scream
[02:07.532] You can play the game, I don't see the need, no
[02:09.708] Feel so alive, I woke up and I prayed for a sign
[02:17.344] I know, good things take time
[02:21.883] God sent me you as an Angel
[02:28.790] When you're alone, that little person nobody knows
[02:36.596] Hardest thing to do was stay strong
[02:41.077] I knew I needed an Angel
[02:43.618] My Saturn return in effect
[02:45.976] Life doesn't come with presets
[02:47.548] My frequency's seamless
[02:49.307] They want you give more, expect you to dream less
[02:52.139] Got me confessin' all my secrets, you ain't the only one under deep stress
[02:56.994] Please, don't take my kindness for a weakness
[02:59.370] Get G checked for your disrespect
[03:01.642] Perception and observation is clinical
[03:04.056] More headspace, I've been shavin' off my occipital
[03:06.463] They say, "You can't hate if you don't love"
[03:09.489] And they say, "Love is unconditional"
[03:11.749] I'm ready to do the unthinkable
[03:13.737] **** rules and everything that's traditional
[03:16.264] Giving your heart to someone might just leave you in a somethin', somethin'
[03:21.534] Feel so alive, I woke up and I prayed for a sign
[03:29.422] I know, good things take time
[03:33.831] God sent me you as an Angel
[03:40.722] When you're alone, that little person nobody knows
[03:48.607] Hardest thing to do was stay strong
[03:53.165] I knew I needed an Angel, an Angel
[04:09.216] How you go against the same system you were colonized by?
[04:12.241] Brother, your whole thing compromised
[04:13.966] Havin' these conversations myself, and nobody else
[04:16.195] Thinkin' they don't understand my thinkin' when I socialize
[04:18.880] I need an Angel with me for armour
[04:20.517] I need accountability, partner
[04:22.191] I know that all these blessings are karma
[04:24.076] I need a fire lit by the seaside
[04:25.840] Purest manuka up in my beehive
[04:27.824] Give me a second, and let the beat ride
[04:32.117] Is there a golden key to the sweet life?
[04:33.771] I don't know what's gotten into me
[04:35.317] But, at least I'm makin' time for self and not others when I got free time
[04:38.597] New woman, don't tell me I shouldn't just because you couldn't
[04:41.659] They say, "Don't you give up too much of the truth to 'em"
[04:44.124] Well, I got nine more songs in the boot for 'em
[04:46.533] Figure this is the moment, I got to speak now
[04:48.897] Head high, back straight, feet down
[04:51.155] Posture goin' crazy
[04:52.931] Had to stand tall while they were tryin' to break me
[04:55.191] **** that, you niggas didn't make me
[04:57.056] And, I say you will never infiltrate me
[04:59.387] Dim my light? Are you crazy?
[05:01.326] Yo, we too well to part, you know, lady, lady, lady
[05:04.250] Flow and I comin' like Denivirois Corsayz
[05:06.503] Stop tryin' to box me, and there's no way you can place me
[05:08.936] Hit 'em with the classic then I got a little lazy
[05:11.462] Had to get a pen when I remembered that I'm JAY-Z
[05:13.725] Had to cut you off because I found out you are snakey
[05:16.285] I got Angels guidin' my steps, guardin' my life from now until death
[05:21.028] Perspective is everything and I wonder what they see
[05:23.467] Hurt people, hurt people, I get it, but, don't play me
[05:26.440] Mum sat and returnin' effect
[05:29.001] Life doesn't come with pre-sets
[05:30.698] My frequency seems less
[05:32.683] So, please don't take my kindness for a weakness
[05:35.368] 'Cause, I got Angels
