[Intro]
You wouldn't let anybody speak for this instead—
You wouldn’t let anybody speak for this instead—

[Verse 1: Skepta]
Ayy, why you talkin' like you gettin' paid?
Talkin’ like you got the juice
Talkin' like you got the cherry aid
Talkin' like you're self made
Talkin' like you're ready for the beef
Talkin' like a fuckin' renegade
Talkin’ like you’re five star
Talkin' like you’re Bruce Willis
Talkin' like you really wanna die hard
Talkin' like you're from the ends
Talkin’ like a waste man
Talkin' like you'rе forgettin' where I'm from again
Talkin' likе a wanna be
Talkin' like a man I never text back
Like a man I never wanna see
Talkin' like you can't hear
Talkin' like I ain't the king
Talkin' like I never shut it down last year

[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole
You wouldn't let anybody speak for this instead—
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole
You wouldn't let anybody speak for this instead—
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole
You wouldn't let anybody speak for this instead—
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole
You wouldn't let anybody speak for this instead—
[Verse 2: Ariana Grande]
"What did she say?", "What did he say?"
You don't listen, 'cause you know everything
You don't even need dreams
Tellin' everybody, "Stay woke, don't sleep"

[Refrain: Ariana Grande]
Ah, gonna break that shit down
You don't wait, tell 'em wait another round
Ah, guess you're way above it now
And that's your way to love it now

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
How can they tell you, shit that you've been through?
They are so confused, who cares about their rationale?
If it ain't your view
That's the bottom line
Know-it-all (Know-it-all)
Give you a box of chances, every time you blow it all (Blow it all)
As if it were shade, you would just throw it all (Throw it all)
Tell your heartbeat, we're not good at all (Good at all)
Know-it-all (Know-it-all)

[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole, stole, st-st-stole
You wouldn't let anybody speak for this instead—
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole
You wouldn't let anybody speak for this instead—
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole
You wouldn't let anybody speak for this instead—
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole
You wouldn't let anybody speak for this instead—
[Verse 3: Ariana Grande]
Why do we have chemistry? (Ayy, yeah)
With a need for speed (Ayy, yeah)
Doin' things that trouble clings (Ayy, yeah) to
And burns off our wings

[Refrain: Ariana Grande]
Ah, gonna break that shit down (Ayy, yeah)
You don't wait, tell 'em wait another round (Ayy, yeah)
Ah, guess you're way above it now (Ayy, yeah)
And that's your way to love it now

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
How can they tell you, shit that you've been through?
They are so confused, who cares about their rationale?
If it ain't your view
That's the bottom line
Know-it-all (Know-it-all)
Give you a box of chances, every time you blow it all (Blow it all)
As if it were shade, you would just throw it all (Throw it all)
Tell your heartbeat, we're not good at all (Good at all)
Know-it-all (Know-it-all)

[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole, stole, st-st-stole
You wouldn't let anybody speak for this instead—
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole
You wouldn't let anybody speak for this instead—
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole
You wouldn't let anybody speak for this instead—
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole
You wouldn't let anybody speak for this instead—
