A Tribe Called Red
Angel Haze Lyrics

Back in the booth let the tragedy in
Returning to create music while allowing personal struggles to influence the content

Switched up the team, let the magic begin
Changed the people around her to enable better, more inspired work

Told all you haters, I'm in it to win
Addressing negative comments directly to state determination in success

Way back when them losers wasn't letting me in
Remembering past rejection as motivation to keep creating despite outside negativity

All of these bitches is mad at me, so?
Acknowledging jealousy-inspired negativity but not allowing it to hold her back

Money appeared now they magically foe
Recognizing that newfound wealth can cause rifts in relationships

Honestly really can't pay it no mind
Choosing to focus on positive changes instead of negative reactions

Because spending that time means I'd rather be broke
Preferring success over spending time addressing negativity or falling back to poverty

I'm out here living my passions and more
Embracing a fulfilling life filled with personal and professional satisfaction

Witnessing peace as it pass through my soul
Feeling inner peace while recognizing its importance for wellbeing

Nothing can irritate masses like literally showing them stagnance can turn into growth
Challenging societal beliefs about growth and change in a visible way

Haters gon hate when you winning this shit
Acknowledging the negativity that comes with success and personal growth

Done for these bitches, they tend to forget
Deciding to move past negative relationships that don't promote growth

I'm out here yelling 'bitch, look at me now!'
Celebrating personal achievements and growth with confidence

I was underground, now I'm stuck in the clouds
Going from a less recognized state to one in the spotlight

14 whole hours, a trip out to Spain
Traveling and living a life of luxury after hard work and dedication

High in the clouds, bitch I'm gulping the rain
Feeling a sense of freedom and joy in life after success

Just a year later still fucking these haters
Continuing to resist negativity and thrive despite it

While facing my fears, no more running from pain
Pushing through personal challenges instead of avoiding or denying them

Head is on straight so I'm gunning with aim
Feeling focused and better equipped to succeed

No more fucking with bitches who stunting for fame
Avoiding relationships with people who prioritize image over substance

You can catch me out roofless in something deranged
Proudly embracing alternative, possibly unconventional forms of self-expression

Ain't it funny how suddenly something can change?
Reflecting on how quickly life can shift

You gotta make a decision to be the one difference in your life
Taking accountability for personal growth and change

And turn it around
Making a conscious effort to improve one's situation

Even when you feel you dumbing it down
Perceiving personal growth as simple or obvious

Back when the preacher said change is to come
Remembering advice about personal growth

All nonbelievers prepare to be sonned
Challenging those who doubt personal growth or success

Not talking Jesus but honest to God
Making a clear distinction between religious and personal beliefs

I bet I reach my prime before air leaves my lungs
Confident in achieving full potential before life is over

Switched it up bitches, adjusted my flow
Evolved creatively through experimentation

Go against me and get wrecked from the go
Challenging those who try to impede progress

All of you bitches keep taking your shots
Addressing negativity and criticism

But if one come at me, then it's straight for your throat
Taking a defensive stance when attacked

Harder than nipples on bitches aroused
Feeling resilient and powerful

Deity swag and omnipotent style
Feeling like a god-like figure with influential style

Don't fuck with my bread and don't fuck with my head
Warns not to mess with financial or mental wellbeing

Cause if it get to that point then I'm seriously vile
Determined to be forceful when pushed too far

Promise you people that evil's alive
Acknowledging negative behavior in others

Wish you could see what I see with my eyes
Wishing others could understand the perspective of success and growth

All of the demons that be in mind
Struggles and personal challenges that exist internally

So I burned all my bridges and cut all my ties
Eliminating negative relationships for personal growth

Said I would do this back when I was 9
Remembering personal goals from childhood

Said I would do this before I got signed
Having ambitions for success before becoming successful

Said I would give all these lost kids and doubters
Making a promise to inspire others

A reason and purpose to question their lives
Encouraging personal growth and reflection in others

Look where I am and then look where I've been
Reflecting on the journey to success

Tell me that I ain't destined to win
Expressing disbelief that success was not inevitable

Never give power to none of you cowards
Refusing to allow others to dictate personal success

To tell me what you think my destiny is
Challenging those who doubt personal capabilities or destiny

Gone for a minute but back on my grind
Taking a break but continuing to work hard and stay focused

Promise you you are no match for my mind
Confident in mental capabilities and strength

Took all my doubt, whipped it into submission
Conquered personal doubts and fears

And forced my ambition to step into line
Prioritizing goals and ambitions to achieve success

I know that they do not want me to shine
Acknowledging external negativity

I know that they do not want me to climb
Recognizing others' lack of desire for personal growth

I know inside that being a boss means making these bitches get back on their jobs
Believing in leadership necessitating others' productivity and growth

Can anyone fuck with me now? No
Feeling success and growth have enabled immunity from negativity

How do these bitches respond? Don't
Reflecting on the lack of negativity addressed directly to her

Looking behind to seeing me now
Reflecting on past success and comparing it to current achievements

What do they think I'm beyond? Dope
Assuming others see success and potential positively

I've just be taking my time, slow
Acknowledging the time and effort required for personal growth and success

Being alone in my mind, flow
Feeling free to create and explore without external distractions

Putting the contents of all that's inside me into this shit I'm designed for
Channeling personal talent and creativity into music

Crossover, pivot, I'm back in the game
Adapting personal style to continue thriving professionally

NASCAR on bitches, I'm tracking my lane
Moving towards personal goals with determination and speed

Focused on bridging the gap
Working to unite disparate aspects or groups

And showing the youth all the ways to accomplish their dreams
Inspiring and guiding younger generations towards personal success

Know how it feels when they kicking you down
Recognizing the feeling of being oppressed or rejected

And it's getting you down
Feeling personally affected by negativity

You gotta make the decision to be the one difference in your life and turn it around
Encouraging personal accountability for growth and change

I know it's hard to be adamant, too
Recognizing that personal growth is challenging

When you stand out like a sore thumb in the crowd
Standing out or being different can inhibit personal growth

No niggas and bitches and quitters aloud
Rejecting negative people or attitudes in order to thrive

Ball inside you until the survival of your dreams
Protecting and nurturing personal goals until they are achieved

Until you are living them out
Continuing to work towards personal success and growth
