Little Simz: Silhouette

Step into the shadow if you're tryna hide your silhouette
When they stab you in the back trust me they ain’t finished yet
Had em on they toes got em doing pirouette
All this fake love got me feeling I’m the realest here
You know what the deal is here
She can do this without me yeah that’s they biggest fear
You didn’t know
Niggas wanna take credit for something they never owned
Talking on my name like the devil is in your tone
Don’t you know I’m gods child got here on my own
Turn wine into water and get blood out of a stone
You give me an inch and want it back
Man I’ve been through this
All problems deep rooted
Lost love and they need Cupid
No time for your words
Please don’t smart talk if you been stupid
Oh damn she ruthless
Been proven
Beethoven no keys, deep music
When they drums speak to me I just breathe through it
Cool with a little flare how does she do it?
I don’t try too hard there’s an ease to it
Price goes up when you add me to it
Then up again when you add Dean to it
When the family tight can’t see through it
Look around if you tryna find out who you are
Now you got a missing piece and I was the biggest part

You gotta look inside yourself
Your insecurity won’t break me down
You only see the silhouette
But don’t hold your breathe
I’m protected by the light realise
You cant crush my soul

Used to have bond and now I see you as no friend of mine
Couldn’t see it at the time
God was showing many signs
Guard up with my eyes on very wide
Sitting here reflecting on my sofa sipping cherry wine
Like we shoulda, been chopping
You thought I didn’t see the change but I been clocking
I’m very wise
Never knew how much I needed to set some boundaries
If you were a fan of me
How can you be mad at me?
Letting go isn’t easy I’ll admit and it saddens me
If you knew how this has made me question my sanity
How could I ever
Doubt my truth and what I’m feeling
It’s better revealing
We all need some healing
Racking my brain tryna discover the meaning
Who even knows I had to look deep within to find what I was seeking
Laying down eyes closed no sleeping
No appetite I was barely eating
100 miles per hour my heart beating
While I know I got an army that I’m leading
Tryna figure it out bobbing and weaving
Compassion I’ve been needing
Now it’s unfolding I ain’t even finished yet
Light was shining on you now I see you as a silhouette

Find your way
Find your faith
God’s with you always

If this is evolution I’m in luck
Cos I don’t wanna be here and be stuck
Wish we could’ve transitioned together
I gave you all I had gave you my trust
No one ever tells you when it’s fucked
No one ever tells you it’ll probably leave you crushed
That’s when you find the strength and pick yourself up
I know ima get thru this it’s a must
Growing is painful it cannot be rushed
Used to seeing your name pop up but I’ll adjust
Everybody giving their opinion
When really I should listen to my gut
No more kindness for weakness
So pull up with that bullshit and I’ll nip it in a bud
Better do the work if you ain’t looked in the mirror yet
I don’t wanna live my life being a silhouette

Your insecurity won’t break me down
You only see the silhouette
But don’t hold your breathe
I’m protected by the light realise
You cant crush my soul

Ooo Ooo Ooooo
Ooo Ooo Ooooo
Ooo Ooo Oooo Ooooooo

Time will heal you
Time will heal you
Find your way
Find your faith
God’s with you always

Time will heal you
Time will heal you
Find your way
Find your faith
God’s with you always
