Shystie
DBT (Dead Black Ting) Remix
[Intro: Lioness]
Yeah
[Verse 1 - Lioness]
I'm a dark skin ting red lipstick
Man I rock what I want, don't business
Certain man wanna move DSTRKT
When their mum's darker than me
Lemme sip, sip
Nah I'm not gonna stand for this disrespect
When I should be getting raised up
But yet you wanna diss me
Cause of how my skin's set
Man miss me with all your anti-dark detail
Let's be honest, your comments they can't mean well
Meanwhile you can handle that weak girl
Oh look, there's that angry black female
Let me keep calming em'
But I'm warning em'
Every time you bring us down
I'ma raise up alla dem
(Alla dem, alla dem, alla dem, alla dem, alla dem)
[Verse 2 - Queenie]
Man I rock what I want, don't business
Silly bruddas giving their opinions
But I still beat my face and rock waist length braids
And a waist trainer for the fitness or
Waist trainer for the fit-ness or
Waist trainer for the pictures course
Whatever I do when I waist train
I better waste, bruddas still gonna get pissed off
So I rock what I want
Creps onto shoes
Skin tight jeans might upset the yutes
Hair just inna ah headscarf
I'll give you the heads up
Nobody got dressed up for you
Do you when you're leaving the house
Natural hair or weave on your scalp
Tell a man, listen
Frigg your opinion
It doesn't put money in your account
[Verse 3 - Stush]
I say suttin' and you don't like the tone in it
I'm grown init
I talk and I'm owning it (yep)
Love my skin, feel at home in it (ahh)
Love my hair, afro comb in it
Now we stop burn we head with perm
Step out with natural hair, we start learn
You t'ink we're aggressive? You think mi concerned?
Black woman time fi talk, it's our turn (talk)
It's a whole other story
White gyal inject, fi look black, go pon maury
Teef our tings, then run go mek jewellery
Try fill us up with drugs that can't cure we
Equal rights and justice ain't for me (ain't for me)
Me nuh vote fi UKIP and 'Tory
Black women talk, them always ignore we
Put in the guts, but never get glory
[Verse 4 - Shystie]
Wanna know why I'm angry?
Back then they took our mandem and hang we
Left black women abandoned with families
Now we run the kids from the block til' they're athletes
Yeah, but it gets a little deeper
They link black skin with crack, guns and dealers
Violence, crimes, while we buy the sneakers
A stop and search is standard procedure
Mad, how we make the media deceive us?
Not one of dem coulda make me bleach off
My cocoa butter skin's off the meter
Them self - hating tings not for me darg
I'm ready to assassinate
Anyone that exacerbates
These typecasts to wipe out our accolades
Light skin, dark skin
You'll never see me battle shades
Pretty for a black girl?
Don't get clapped today
[Verse 5 - Lady Leshurr]
Yo
I'm not in no industry mood
I lick down any industry dude
I don't care bout' an industry feud
I go in, I know they're into me too
I eat beats like a bit of free food
Garbage, watched her alitter these tunes
Bossy and I know they sick of me too
Can't speak to them on another 32
Oh rude gyal, you wanna rude gyal
Throwing shade but nah it nuh cute gyal
It nuh cute gyal
Flow's insane, I go mental
Draw me out but no stencil
Lead them up the path with no pencil (no pencil)
Hit the track I'm not gentle
Whip it!
Pay with cash it's no rental
[Verse 6 - Little Simz]
I shouldn't be alarmed
Shake my hand if you can read my palm
Petty n***as go tweet for tweet (big)
You don't wanna go bar for bar (no)
You don't wanna go P's for P's
My G if you ever knew how much I charge
For these shows I'm getting mine (getting)
Back when Simbi used to wait in line (waiting)
Getting bigger isn't always a win
Bigger problems it's a different life (yup)
I start my day at some different times (different times)
To me you're just some any guy (any guy)
Best out, won't say it twice (no)
Still offended when I'm being nice (yeah)
My pen is moving to different heights
I take a chance and I'll roll the dice
Mummy told me I'm different yute (different yute)
Simbi they just ain't as real as you (real as you)
I take in all of the compliments
All of the love
Sit back and I bill my zoot (bill it!)
Puff, puff can't draw my ting nah today
In the mood (in the mood)
You're lucky I didn't finish you
And you're lucky to get an interview
That's that
L-I-T-T-L-E Simz
(What, what what)
[Outro: Lioness]
What you know about power in numbers?
Mental
Messy!
