Enter The Void
Little Simz Lyrics

Enter the void, en en enter the void, en en enter the void
Invitation to explore the unknown and unfamiliar space of one's mind

Enter the void (void)
Emphasis on exploring and entering a completely empty space

It starts with a young boy Walking on the land where they turn you down If you're trying to start to amp and make noise (What happened to your light?)
The journey begins with a young person trying to create something meaningful, questioning where their inspiration and motivation has gone

Where you gotta make the entertainment for yourself Cos there ain't nuttin to enjoy
The environment does not provide any entertainment or joy, so one must create it themselves

Only joy was conveyed through his voice Little nigga wasn't trying be employed Nope, nope
The young boy only found joy in expressing himself through his music and had no intention of getting a typical job

Had dreams as bigger than dreams Had a heart full of gold that was bigger than me Little jimmy didn't care for no enemies Listening to 2Pac drinking Hennesse
The young boy, Little Jimmy, had big dreams and a kind heart. He admired the rapper 2Pac and enjoyed drinking Hennessey

Didn't really see the point to get a degree But, daddy would disagree Little jimmy was a child a three Mummy saying 'look at this child in me'
Little Jimmy did not see the value in getting a formal education, but his father disagreed. His mother reminisced about when she was a child

This that shit that makes you wanna leave Jimmy was a smiler Through the pain and darkness It wouldn't matter no Cos he'd always be smiling
Despite facing difficult times, Jimmy stayed positive and kept a smile on his face

Golden child is so profound And was broken now Older now, not golden now And only doubting himself No playing round with his health All his people are now gone, well they're either dead or in jail This that shit that made him wonder if he was living in hell Thinking 'how can this the plan, when I gave my heart to world?' All I wanted was love And now my life is a fail Oh well. Oh well.
Jimmy's life took a dark turn, losing his positive outlook and loved ones. He wonders if he is living in a version of hell, questioning why things went wrong when he had good intentions

What happened to your light? What happened to your light?
The repeated question symbolizes the loss of inspiration and motivation

Funny how it changed, ain't it funny how it changed? Funny how it changed, ain't it funny?
Reflecting on how quickly things can change and how unexpected life can be

Well, Little Jimmy had a little jimmy Now this is where its getting sticky Baby mummy ain't ready to be a mummy Well, I've got my baby and he's coming with me And he go wherever I go He know whoever I know
Jimmy had a child, but the mother was unprepared to be a parent. Jimmy takes responsibility for the child and they become inseparable

Shit was all good in our young days But its changed now because we've grown, oh Jimmy looking back and he thinking how did it happen One minute he at the top and another he back to trappin'
Reflecting on the good times in the past, but acknowledging how things have changed as they got older, and how easy it is to fall back into a negative lifestyle

Man this ain't not good going back to black Singing didn't work so its back to rap Me and you thats back to back Never tell a lie when I gas the track And thats petrol all in your face Now hes taking hits the face Cos that green it won't go to waste Clearly he don't care about no light Hes in a dark place
Despite trying to pursue a music career, Jimmy returns to the drug trade. He doesn't care about anything else, including his own well-being, and is in a low point in his life

Ain't no smile on Jimmys face That shit be awkward and plain No more, hopes and dreams Hes just bumming around an estate At 40 years of age Oh well. Oh well.
Jimmy is no longer optimistic about life and has given up on his dreams. He spends his days aimlessly and without purpose

We're going to get into the mind of Jimmy. I control the time, it won't change the past Wrote the sign when I quote the lines And these minds that ain't made for us You can see that i'd pray for us If I knew how to break out Out of the system that just be slaving us They say they want them frowns Well fuck that because you won't be changing us You better your shit won't last Been too long and its gone too far And I don't know where I'm heading Fuck! I don't know where I'm heading They say that the code is embedded In our souls until we have fed it All the roots you know that I lead it When I speak you know that it's
This verse gives insight into Jimmy's thoughts about the world and the oppressive systems that exist. He recognizes the importance of breaking free from these chains and leading others to do the same. However, he is uncertain about his own future

To your.
Incomplete thought, possibly a reference to the question 'what happened to your light?'
