Little Simz
Mandarin Oranges (Bonus Track)
[Intro: Little Simz]
Space (my life is so bittersweet)
Yah

[Verse 1: Little Simz]
Went from warming up in the summer to conversations with cold
Still I'm yet to discover just what the future will hold
One mistake to another, have I learnt all my lessons
I'll be the first to admit it, still I'm counting my blessings
Am I rushing this shit? No way
I take my time like the clock was my most latest invention
And while you're here I should mention that this ain’t social talk that would appear in your mentions
I want your undivided attention, hear me out while I'm talking
Now the bigger you are, it's better to follow the stars
Regardless of gender or class, the world is your oyster
Until we ready to start
Now ring the alarm, and let them all know that I'm coming
The best is really nothing short of what Little Simz is becoming
I can tell you that for free, I wanna meet the older me
Never tryna go too fast, it’s not my height, ain't controlling me
My lungs are soaked in trees, don't stop my zoning, please
My life is bittersweet
You should really come and take some of these mandarin oranges, from me

[Chorus: [?] and Little Simz]
Come and take a walk with me (take a walk with me)
My life is so bittersweet (so bittersweet)
I'm not tryna get too deep, no (get too deep, no)
Mandarin oranges
Mandarin oranges
(Come and take a walk with me)
Mandarin oranges
(I'm not tryna get too deep)
Mandarin oranges
Mandarin oranges
(My life is so)
[Verse 2: Waldo]
The pressure's on, the city's ours, even Webster know it
Tryna be us 'cause you can't beat us but you see how that's going
When the time n***as leave us with the firearm showing
Yellow tape, another casket, city's sick of commotion
They said the tape was a classic, that sound like promotion
Made all of that off of fast food and sleeping on sofas
Bitches yelling turn up with a sink full of throw-ups
Soon as this sink we gon' go out, ain't it safe but you know what?
We that crew that they ask 'bout
Yeah, they wanna get know us, yeah, we next up, that's no doubt
It's about time for some closure
Oh, let me show you how to move in a room full of vultures
Doing the most, got me sippin' mimosas
So set your drink on a coaster 'cause you not part of the culture
HGO was the coder, you get wise, you get older
Ain't got no time to come over, give a hoe a cold shoulder
Not a nut, not a buck, not a cup of Folgers
Got soldiers that'll clap, you'll think something’s over
They anticipate the rap 'cause we got something for 'em
Looking for something foreign why you content with borin'?
Black seeds, white feet look like Darren and Lauren
You n***as, soft and sweet, mandarin oranges
Connections overseas got the money in storage
Dressed in camouflage like I'm part of the fortress
Yeah, I'm lighting the forest, lifted like a forklift
Get a fork for the poor pig, I don’t fuck with you, fam
I'm not shaking no hands, 'specially with no hams
I don’t care that’s your mans, get him with the program
Either we winning a Grammy or I'm rolling a gram
[Outro: Little Simz]

(Mandarin oranges)
