Sideways Songtext
von Little Simz

Toxic people get removed from where I′m staying
Trust me, you can leave with that same energy you came with
My pen is a psychedelic, inject it
They pop pills just to get to where my spirit naturally is
Pardon the kid

They say black don't crack
My complexion is iridescent
The student might be the one to school you on many lessons
You ain′t seen the type of shit that I have
When you man have daughters, you'll see how important I am
No capping in these scriptures, if I'm lying, I′m dying

I might serenade myself
Sweet melodies hitting like a ton a bricks
You followed the fashion, meanwhile I was on some others shit
On some distant lover shit
Heating up the over quick
Seeing what we′re doing over here will have you jumping ship


Right now this ain't music one over looks
So in doing that you must be as dumb as you look
It′s funny
I find it funny our relationship with money
We already mentally spent the damn check
That's what happens when you don′t know when you'll get the bag next

Mm, yeah
Yeah, I hear you but

Don′t get too attached to a version that you're seeing
Friends come and go like the change in the seasons
La-Shaun, that's my nigga, it′s forever all love
Cos we don′t diss each other even when we disagreeing
I'm ready to become all I believe in
The devil can′t illuminate my being
When God is omnipresent, overseeing

I'm taking notes from every book I′m reading
I didn't know the word "No" could be so freeing
Respectfully, you ain′t gotta check for me
Only I know how I feel and what's best for me
Eventually they'll get that I′m here as a vessel
So stop playing with God and your destiny


I am everything they never was, never meant to be
I′m a Queen I'm my city, got royal like tendencies
Walking in my light, know my shadow is protecting me
Never moving sideways
I done this shit my way
And I say
