X Little Simz

[Verse 1: Little Simz]
The mercenary don't fight the war for free
They fight the war for a currency, not unity, not peace
Bookkeepers with information that covers all of these details
Fake news won't prevail if we holdin' the keys
Land of the free, enslaved by the false pretence
They attack and we play defence
How do I make you see sense?
Have all of your thoughts deepen, test your beliefs
If the law ain't for us, who's policin' thе police?
Who's increasin' all their fees?
Listеnin' to their speeches
How many times did we march with no shoes on?
No J's or Louboutin
Been beaten on, we been chewed on
But it happened years ago, so we should just move on
You think that man don't know pain 'cause he got a suit on?
'Cause he finally got a plate that he can now have food on?
Tellin' me that luck isn't everybody's friend
But, really, you can't fathom that my tree now has fruit on
Don't get me irate in this climate, it's heatin' up and that plane now
Can't fly straight, I might up and migrate
Turbulence results in your mind racin', prone to dehydration
Runnin' 'cause you want freedom, don't die chasin'
This is post-apocalyptic where we stand
You wanna give us the Bible and have us give up the land
They will dangle the carrot when nothin' is in your hand
And tell you never to worry, "it's all just part of the plan"
Fuck what you got planned, your wish isn't my command
These people are not your friends, I finally understand
They wanna divide you and close people in your set
'Cause when you're winnin' together, that's bigger than any check
