Lyrics for Mandarin Oranges (Bonus Track) (Bonus Track)
Space (My life is so bittersweet) Yah Went from warming up in the summer to conversations with cold Still I'm yet to discover just what the future will hold One mistake to another, have I learnt all my lessons I'll be the first to admit it, still I'm counting my blessings Am I rushing this shit? No way I take my time like the clock was my most latest invention And while you're here I should mention that this ain't, social talk that would appear in your mentions I want your undivided attention, hear me out while I'm talking Now the bigger you are, it's better to follow the stars Regardless of gender or class, the world is your oyster Until we ready to start Now ring the alarm, and let them all know that I'm coming The best is really nothing short of what Little Simz is becoming I can tell you that for free, I wanna meet the older me Never tryna go too fast, it's not my height, ain't controlling me My lungs are soaked in trees, don't stop my zoning, please My life is bittersweet You should really come and take some of these mandarin oranges, from me Come and take a walk with me (Take a walk with me) My life is so bittersweet (So bittersweet) I'm not tryna get too deep, no (Get too deep, no) Mandarin oranges Mandarin oranges (Come and take a walk with me) Mandarin oranges (I'm not tryna get too deep) Mandarin oranges Mandarin oranges (My life is so) Uh The pressure's on, the city's ours, even Webster know it Tryna be us 'cause you can't beat us but you see how that's going When the time niggas leave us with the firearm showing Yellow tape, another casket, city's sick of commotion They said the tape was a classic, that sound like promotion Made all of that off of fast food and sleeping on sofas Bitches yelling turn up with a sink full of throw-ups Soon as this sink we gon' go out, ain't it safe but you know what? We that crew that they ask 'bout Yeah, they wanna get know us, yeah, we next up, that's no doubt It's 'bout time for some closure Oh, let me show you how to move in a room full of vultures Uh, doing the most, got me sippin' mimosas So set your drink on a coaster 'cause you not part of the culture HGO was the coder, you get wise, you get older Ain't got no time to come over, give a hoe a cold shoulder Not a nut, not a buck, not a cup of Folgers Got soldiers that'll clap, you'll think something's over They anticipate the rap 'cause we got something for 'em Looking for something foreign, why you content with borin'? Black seeds, white feet look like Darren and Lauren You niggas, soft and sweet, mandarin oranges Connections overseas got the money in storage Dressed in camouflage like I'm part of the fortress Yeah, I'm lighting the forest, lifted like a forklift Get a fork for the poor pig, I don't fuck with you, fam I'm not shaking no hands, 'specially with no hams I don't care that's your mans, get him with the program Either we winning a Grammy or I'm rolling a gram (Mandarin oranges) (Mandarin oranges) (Mandarin oranges) (Mandarin oranges)
