God Bless Mary Little Simz

[Verse 1]
All I could think about in my maths class was
Rhyming and figuring out my timing
Couldn't get me to shut up if you didn't hear me, I'm miming
Teachers didn't understand the unique world that I'm in
While you was finding the answers, it's instrumentals I'm finding
I know, I should've paid attention more
Still got to where I am, I wouldn't change my life for yours
Soon as I got my first paycheck man I wanted some more
And then I got my second fuck it, it's music galore
I invested in equipment, fuck it, I'm takin' it all
Do this shit myself, but now there's Mary next door
I know for a fact this just might be a problem
Cause when I turn those speakers up there ain't no one to stop me
So in love with the sound, it probably messed with my hearing
When I recorded this like I needed Mary to hear it
Come to think of it, she's heard everything before the world has
Heard the EPs way before the world has
Heard me singing live way before the world has
Heard my mistakes and frustration way before the world has
I know I should turn it down, couldn't resist
Saw her smoking fags out the window, I knew she was pissed
Shit, I didn't consider that she prolly couldn't sleep
I know that it's selfish, at the time I couldn't see
Nothing's really changed though, man, I've been real
But I never said sorry and this is my apology
God bless Mary (sorry)
