Little Simz - God Bless Mary lyrics

[Verse 1] All I could think about in my maths cla** was Rhyming and figuring out my timing Couldn't get me to shut up if you didn't hear me, I'm miming Teachers didn't understand the unique world that I'm in While you was finding the answers, it's instrumentals I'm finding I know, I should've paid attention more Still got to where I am, I wouldn't change my life for yours Soon as I got my first paycheck man I wanted some more And then I got my second f** it, it's music galore I invested in equipment, f** it, I'm takin' it all Do this sh** myself, but now there's Mary next door I know for a fact this just might be a problem Cause when I turn those speakers up there ain't no one to stop me So in love with the sound, it probably messed with my hearing When I recorded this like I needed Mary to hear it Come to think of it, she's heard everything before the world has Heard the EPs way before the world has Heard me singing live way before the world has Heard my mistakes and frustration way before the world has I know I should turn it down, couldn't resist Saw her smoking f*gs out the window, I knew she was pissed sh**, I didn't consider that she prolly couldn't sleep I know that it's selfish, at the time I couldn't see Nothing's really changed though, man, I've been real But I never said sorry and this is my apology God bless Mary (sorry) [Hook] I know it don't do sh** for you if I go global But through these walls, I know you hear my vocal And I know you don't need nothing from me No you don't need nothing from me No you don't need nothing from me, from me [Verse 2] You could've called the council on me so many times Could've called the police so many times Know you was pissed, man, I saw so many signs Wanted to speak to you but thought 'never mind' You smiling at me like it's alright But I should've known that it's not alright I'ma turn it down to consider your night But let me turn it up for me one more time One more time, please can you bear with me I'm just tryna make music to change my life No, you don't owe me anything cos I Know you put up with everything onsite Prolly hear this playing from your bedroom on repeat Wrote a song about my neighbour as you will conceive Though nothing's really changed, though man I'll be real But I never said sorry and this is my apology So god bless Mary! [Hook] [Verse 3] Yo, now this sh** started from my bedroom many moons ago God how am I gonna make this work? I bet you will know Need your love and guidance to take me to where I wanna go Wish upon a star, same star that followed me home Learning to be more patient than ever, know my time will come Will have more time on my hands when the record's done Put in so much work, I hardly got to see my mum Hardly got to see my nephew and live and be 21 Still I know I'll make it, some day Know that I'm not perfect but I swear that it'll be worth it Mary know that I'ma make it, one day You just gotta trust me but know I'm not in a hurry Promise I will make it big, some day I'll make it big, some day I don't know your full story or what you've been through I just wanna say thank you and god bless you God bless Mary [Hook]
