Tainted Songtext

von Little Simz

She thinks.
She thinks the world revolves around her,
What she thinks.
She blinks, and sees nothing but flowers,
And leaves everything rosy in her eyes.
Closed minded and blinded by the lights,
Make-up is her disguise.
A insight of her life is nothing short of a lie,
Money and time is non-existent,
But to her, it's all that matters.

Always knew I'd be in this position
Where I'm killin' it, yeah I'm bragging
And I tell em' how the f**k I'm feeling.
Money, money, money, money,
Yeah, you get the gist.
You're talking 'bout loyalty,
But you don't know the meaning.
I dare these niggas here to try to think that you're the shit,
But I been like, early from when I was teething.
How I'm feeling,
Play my shit at parties, not museums.
You can keep your love,
It's just money that I'm reaching for.

You can keep your love,
It's the money I've been reaching for.
Steady bossing,
You should know what I've got in store.
Everything is backwards, can I grow to be immature?
Shit, though, I been leaning,
You should know what this light is for.
Killin' my pride, you are.
Here's the key to my house and my car,
Not my heart, but my soul.
Shit is cold, and is dark,
Ooooo...
I love the paper, nothing will tear us apart,
Ooooo...
I love the hate, I know you're burning,
I'm a star.
Couple animals that ride with me,
Noah's Ark.
Fuck the world, I'm rich. Remind me who you are?
I don't do this for the music,
Fuck your keys and guitars.
Just got here, and I'm running this shit.
I could buy your life if I wanted to, b*tch.
Invested in a business,
My work has made that money flip.
Play this in the club. Play this to your kids.
Play this when your faded,
Have a smoke, have a sip.
Have a dab, get loose.
Let me tell you what it is, uh.
See, I don't owe the world shit, you div.
I worked to get here, I'mma tell you how I live.
Yeah, this is my lifestyle,
Either love it or hate it.
Old friends look at me, they ain't happy I made it.
Mum looks at me,
Like where's the daughter I was raising?
She was gone long time,
She was way too concious.

Always knew I'd be in this position
Where I'm killin' it, yeah I'm bragging
And I tell em' how the f**k I'm feeling.
Money, money, money, money,
Yeah, you get the gist.
You're talking 'bout loyalty,
But you don't know the meaning.
I dare these niggas here to try me, you think you're the shit,
But I been like, early from when I was teething.
How I'm feeling,
Play my shit at parties everyday.
You can keep your love,
It's the money that made me this way.

Her whole world crashes and burns,
No looking back now.
Having to deal with the fatal impact,
How will she react now?
Calls upon things she left in the past, due to her rotten attitide, longing for love again.
Only reminiscing, this must be a lesson learnt or two.
She looks above and around to ask for forgiveness,
From me, from you.

S-s-sorry, sorry.
Ask God for forgiveness right now.
I'm sorry (I'm sorry),
Ask family for forgiveness right now.
I'm s-s-s-s-sorry, I'm sorry,
Ask the world for forgiveness right now.
I'm sorry (I'm sor-s-sorry),
Ask my people for forgiveness right now.
I'm s-sorry, I'm s-sorry,
Ask God for forgiveness right now.
I'm sorry, I'm s-s-sorry.

Never thought I'd be in this position,
This is such a myth.
I lost all my money, how the f**k I'm feeling.
I wish that I had done this, from when I had the chance.
When I tell you that I'm sorry, I promise I mean it.
God, I know that we ain't spoke in a little bit,
I know I'm not angel, but I'm not a demon.
I know I'm not angel, but I'm not a demon.
But, you can keep your money,
It's just love that I'm needing.

Whoa! F**k all of that!
Give me the money, the cars, the crib,
The keys, the everything.
I mean the key to your life, the key to your door.
... F**k! F**k everyone else!
This is me doing what I want, this is what I want.
God, this is what I earned.
If you're with me, you're with me.
If you're not, then do one.
This is me, I'm king. Yeah (yeah)!

My soul is tainted, my soul is tainted, my soul is tainted.
My soul is tainted, my soul is tainted, my soul is tainted.
My soul is tainted, my soul is tainted, my soul is tainted.
My soul is tainted, my soul is tainted, my soul is tainted.
