OFFENCE
Little Simz Lyrics

Me again
Little Simz is back and ready to speak her mind.

Allow me to pick up where I left off
She wants to continue her message from where she last left off.

The biggest phenomenon and I'm Picasso with the pen
She's a talented artist who is making waves in the industry.

Niggas always talk shit until I hit them with the realness
People tend to talk behind her back until she calls them out on their behavior.

Figured I should say some' but you don't wanna hear me vent
She wants to express herself, but others don't want to listen to what she has to say.

You can talk bad all day long I will never be impressed
Negative words don't affect her, and she won't be swayed by them.

Dunno what I did to make you feel that you be earnin' my respect
She's unsure why someone would think that they deserve her respect.

You do not scare me, no, you are not a threat
She's not intimidated by anyone, and doesn't consider them a threat.

Anyone that want it they can get it in a flash no sweat
She's ready to face anyone who wants to challenge her.

If you're gonna talk on my name, least say it with your chest
If someone wants to speak about her, they should do it boldly and honestly.

Got my team on deck takin' out all pawns and my night got your queen in check-mate
Her team is strong and ready to defeat any opposition, or they've already done so.

Don't get touchy don't be getting in your feelin's
She doesn't want people to take offense to what she's saying, as it's just her expressing herself.

All I do is kill shit, shit even when I'm chillin'
She's always on top of her game, even when she's relaxed.

I'm Jay-Z on a bad day, Shakespeare on my worst days
She's at her best, even on her worst days.

Never been a punk, trust you can get it in the worst way
She's never been a pushover, and won't hesitate to put someone in their place.

Fuck it lemme get a birthday cake and it ain't even my birthday
She wants to celebrate her success, regardless of whether or not it's a special occasion.

'Cause when I switch, then they wanna say that I'm a bitch
People only label her negatively when she stands up for herself.

You're not listening
Others aren't paying attention to what she's saying or feeling.

Came through swinging out the gate on a mad run no fucks
She's charging forward without any concern for other people's opinions or judgments.

Steppin' to the kid tryna bring it I promise you'll have no luck
Anyone who opposes her will be unsuccessful.

You sold out for a quick buzz and honey you got no love
Some people sacrifice their values for instant success, and she doesn't respect that behavior.

No less than what I know that I'm worth and I won't budge
She won't accept anything less than what she knows she deserves.

In and out of doorways juggin', juggin' through the broadway
She's moving quickly and effortlessly from one opportunity to the next.

And anywhere where would I be now if I went and done it your way?
She doesn't regret following her own path and not adhering to others' expectations.

I been exhausted, man, I think I need a tour break
She's feeling tired and stressed, and needs a break from work.

Might take a trip to the Philippines with my Spanish boy Jorge
She's thinking of traveling with her friend Jorge to get away from her usual routine.

Holla my plug like, "I'm back in town and I need a ounce gimme more flavs"
She's contacting her weed supplier for more products.

Take mum on a spree like get anything you want this is your day
She wants to spoil her mother by paying for a shopping spree and allowing her to buy whatever she wants.

I followed the rabbit got a couple carrots I know that I got bad habits
She's achieved some success, but acknowledges that she still has some unhealthy habits.

Tryna find the balance I'm in the store like, "I wanna have it, I gotta have it!"
She's trying to find balance in her life, but sometimes has difficulty controlling her impulse to buy things.

You are not the toughest or baddest my pen is the maddest
Her true strength comes from her artistry and songwriting.

I've probably ended careers and it's never out of malice!
She's confident in her abilities to make quality music, but she never intends to harm anyone's career.

Gas level ain't even on 10 and still they can't manage
She's not even using all her energy, but her opponents can't keep up with her.

They think I'm a shy one, like, "Nah, Simz won't flip"
Some people underestimate her and don't see her as the strong, opinionated person she really is.

But when I switch, then they wanna say that I'm a bitch
Others only consider her to be negative when she stands up for herself.

I said it with my chest and I don't care who I offend, uh huh, ha
She's confident in her words and isn't afraid to speak her mind, even if it offends others.

I said it with my chest and I don't care who I offend, uh huh, ha
She reiterates her commitment to expressing herself honestly, without worrying about others' reactions.
