Little Simz - Persons Lyrics

A tale of gain and loss
Trials and persons will be explained
Don't be intimidated but it's
OK to be confused
All will make sense in the end
They took her wings and told
Her flying was impossible
They told her women cannot
Call themselves kings
They told her fame is not made for everyone
Trials and persons will be explained
Women can be kings

Yo, what they fucking mean she's nuh a king?
All these backwards bitches need
To realise it's 2015
We redefining the very definition
All these pussies walking around scared
They're scared I'm a pioneer
They're scared I'm a revolutionary
They're scared of authenticity
I don't even know when they're gonna stop
Fucking about and embrace
Their rightful leader
Woman or not, Simz a bloodclaat king!

Oh, everybody should know that I'm king now
Yeah, still the person, that's for certain
I deserve it, shit is wavy, watch me surfing
You should know I'm not an earthling
Alien in me from birth
Oh, how you feeling? How
The fuck you feeling? This is hurtful
Won't apologise but demoralise
What you think is yours but is mine
Everything is mine for the taking
You don't have to like it, you
Don't have to play it, still amazing
Still creating, learning pages
Learning to stop learning faces
I'll forget you eventually
When you mention them
Don't fuck around and don't mention me
I'm still the person, the person, the person

They told her "stop while you're ahead, Simbi
The industry will break you, Simbi
You're not strong enough
Find yourself fly, Simbi
You've been waiting long enough
You'll have to do more than rapping, Simbi
What else can you show me?"
(Everybody knows that I'm king now)
Do you hear that? Women can be kings

Oh, everybody should know that I'm king now
Yeah, still the person, that's for certain
I deserve it, shit is wavy, watch me surfing
You should know I'm not an earthling
Alien in me from birth
Oh, how you feeling? How
The fuck you feeling? This is hurtful
Won't apologise but demoralise
What you think is yours but is mine
Everything is mine for the taking
You don't have to like it, you
Don't have to play it, still amazing
Still creating, learning pages
Learning to stop learning faces
I'll forget you eventually
When you mention them
Don't fuck around and don't mention me
I'm still the person, the person, the person
