Little Simz
02. The Bells
[Verse 1]
Ring them bells on my behalf and right now
They will know about when I enter
Cause Imma make the game just slide down
That's not arrogance, it's just confidence
And I'm confident in my sound
Imma try in lock down the whole world
But first, I gotta lock down my hometown
I come in, I've got a show and I'm on at 9
So ring them bells when I come through and they know it's time
The music will speak for itself and I know it's fine
See there's a fine line between the fine
I'm not your ordinary rapper
Leave 'em in panic, saying I'm way too behind
Little Simz I gotta catch up
Say they climbing, that's all by the help of a ladder
Ring them bells, now this is more than a naija matter
And it goes

[Hook]
The Bells
The Bells
The Bells
Better keep them ringing
The Bells
The Bells
The Bells
Better keep them ringing ah
[Post-hook]
Saved by the last bell
Can't crack through this hard shell
Its that time so everybody be quiet
Better keep them ringing
Saved by the last bell
Can't crack through this hard shell
Its that time so everybody be quiet
Better keep them ringing

[Verse 2]
Oh!
Better keep them ringing
While you listen to the choir singing
Give you that ever so soulful music
Never transformed into sinning
Glorifying the praises
Still lost in the music like you going through mazes
Improving performances just by going through stages
Growing into a woman, I'll be going through changes
It will be something amazing I feel
And that's deep down
Think about it before you speak out
These bars are made of gold
But I left that wooden floor up in the tree house
Shout out to everyone that reached out
Yeah, I see all of you
They say, "Simz, never let them get bored of you."
I say, "Don't worry about that." I order you
To ring the bell

[Post-hook]
Saved by the last bell
Can't crack through this hard shell
Its that time so everybody be quiet
Better keep them ringing
Saved by the last bell
Can't crack through this hard shell
Its that time so everybody be quiet
Better keep them ringing

[Verse 3]
I pray I never have my Father's aim
But my mother's love and that will keep me sane
I go far away, you'll never see it
Seeing doesn't make it real, you gotta believe it
Always be the giving and one day you'll receive it
I just wanna change lives and I will achieve it
Come a long way from the youth club to the big stage
And I still got more and ready to go
Let me get in my zone, I would rather be all alone
Made in the UK, I'm telling 'em watch the throne
You ain't coming with; No problem, I go alone
Take a hit, Cloud nine; I'm blown
When I come through, I part the sea
Like Moses, I'm focused
I am the driving force of my career
With no seatbelts, so I understood my fears
Let 'em know, I've arrived
I'm here, so ring the bell

Saved by the last bell

Saved by the last bell
Can't crack through this hard shell
Its that time so everybody be quiet
Better keep them ringing
