Little Simz
Both (BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge)
[Verse 1: Little Simz]
Stacked and stylin' far from shy I ain't gotta pretend
Smellin' expensive
All fresh face lookin' like I been cleansed
How the hate and love her at the same time
That ain't makin' no sense
Still I paid 'em no mind
I told 'em a million times I settin' pace I ain't follow no trends
Back when I was tryin' to learn myself
Immerse myself
And if I had an idea
They say I'm the woman of the moment
Tell 'em I'm the man of the year
Tryin' to flip a penny to a pound
Bare up's and down's just so I can go clear
Sat-nav tryna re-route me, slow me down
So I ended up here
Still and when I got right here
Look at her go no likes
Ain't nobody here I fear
If I said it, it's facts
If I said it, it's my word
It's my opinion, my raps
They know I speak with my chest
And I say it loud for those in the back
[Chorus: Lianne La Havas]
'Cause you're free
To do want you want to do
You've got to live your life
And do what you want to do
Mmmm...
[Verse 2: Little Simz]
Mmm...
Talkin' on Simz's name
Yeah you know it's long
Done a lot of things in life
And I've been tryna right my wrongs
Took a little break
Got my head right, came back
Still a don
I just sold out Australia, man they love my songs
(Hey) play no games then you know what I'm on
Ooo, go scoop up mommy
Then I'll go spend my money
Have a mint tea while I sit back
Observe [?]
Oh, you wanna dance around a subject?
Truths and a backflip
Well, who do you trust?
While I'm only comin' in and the fame that errupts
Well, firm as a mollusk
Got a word in my cup
And the Earth through my lungs
Bun the rave man I'm in the crib meditating
Yeah, burning it up
Light the fire now
Fly or drown (yo)
[Chorus: Lianne La Havas, Little Simz]
'Cause you're free
To do what you want to do
You've got to live your life
And do what you want to do
(Hey)
'Cause you're free
To do what you want to do
You've got to live your life
And do what you want to do
Mmmm...
[Verse 3: Little Simz]
Out of sight, out of mind
Out of time, out of love
Out of breath, out of body
Out of trees, out my nut
What's the rush?
Who you with?
Such and such
Fill me much
Fill me now, hold me down
Keep me grounded if you must
In the mist of it all
Out the North of the LDN
Was born in a land of sin
My core can not handle this
I'm more than your average chick
Yeah, what's the rush
Out of love, out of funds
Out of body, souls and such
[Chorus: Lianne La Havas, Little Simz, Both]
If you're free
To do what you want to do
You've got to live your life
And do what you want to do
'Cause you're free (To what?)
To do what you want to do
You've got to live your life (You've got to live your life)
And do what you want to do
[Chorus/Outro: Lianne La Havas]
'Cause you're free
To do what you want to do
You've got to live your life
And do what you want
To do
