“Sometimes I Might Be Introvert”. By Little Simz

GOOD EVENING !!Relaxing after a hard days work with my one of the best album of 2021 which I listen quite often .....

“Sometimes I Might Be Introvert”. By Little Simz

Four albums in, Little Simz finally reached the very cusp of stardom. It wasn’t just “Sometimes I Might Be Introvert”: this year she triumphed at festivals and made show-stealing appearances with Gorillaz. The centre of it, though, was the album, which was both musically imaginative—the use of orchestral backing gave it a cinematic sweep unlike the electrified claustrophobia of much contemporary hip-hop—and lyrically adept, with the artist questioning her choice of career on the excellent “Standing Ovation”.

Introvert

Little Simz

There's a war (there's a war)

The kingdom's on fire, the blood of a young messiahI see sinners in the facade of gentlemen ......

Sometimes I might be introvert

There's a war inside, I hear battle cries

Mothers burying sons, young boys playing with guns

The devil's a liar, fulfil your wildest desires

Now I don't wanna be the one to doctor this

But if you can't feel pain then you can't feel the opposite

The fight between the Yin and Yang's a fight you'll never win

I study humans,that makes me an anthropologist

I'm not into politics but I know it's dark times

Parts of the world still living in Apartheid (there's a war, there's a war)

But if I don't take this winner's flight that's career suicide

Though I should've been a friend when your grandma diedI see the illness eat my aunt( mother like to me) laying in her bedI see her soul rising as her body gets closer to deathFind a way,

I'll find a way

The world's not overI will make it, don't you cry

In God we trust'

Cause we're not alone

I need a license to feel (I can't feel)

Internal wounds and I'm not tryna be healed (no I don't, no I don't, no)

I sabotage what we are trying to build'

Cause of feelings I keep inside but it's time to reveal (reveal, reveal)I hate the thought of just being a burdenI hate that these conversations are surfaced

To you I'm smiling but really I'm suffering - because of you idiots - who don't know how to live ...

Bloody today's corrupt academicians/ professionals

I dedicate my life and gave my heart over twenty-something years

Left wondering how I even feel

Or was it was even worth it?

I bottle up and then spill it in verses

One day I'm wordless, next day I'm a wordsmith

Close to success but to happiness I'm the furthest

At night I wonder if my tears will dry on their ownHoping

I will fulfil Godmother's ( Divine Feminine's) purpose

Angel said, "Don't let your ego be a disturbance"

Inner demon said, "Motherfuckers, they earned this

"Like they strip you of everything you're deserving

Realize there is a prison in us,

Corrupt government officials, lies and atrocities

How they talking on what's threatening the economy.

Knocking down communities to re-up on properties

I'm directly effected, it does more than just bother me

Look beyond the surface, don't just see what you wanna see?

My speech ain't involuntary

Project with intention straight from my lungs

I'm a black woman and I'm a proud one

We walk in blind faith not knowing the outcome

But as long as we're unified, then we've already won

Find a way, I'll find a way

The worlds not over

I will make it, don't you cry

In God we trust

'Cause we're not alone

And so it begins

The base is an amalgamation of everything

Rules are not to be played by rebels

The story of never ending

Your introversion led you here

Intuition protected you along the way

Feelings allowed you to be well balanced

And perspective gave you foresight

The top of the mountain is nothing without the climb

Only the strong will survive

Only the strong will survive

Alone but not lonely

Your truth unveils with time

As you embark on a journey

Of what it takes to be a man

That is my bedtime music today ........ what a number to sleep with – the disturbed world ...... which will become better ..... a paradise to live in ......

Good Night !!
