Rollin Stone
Little Simz Lyrics

I was in Sao Paolo eating palm heart
I was in Sao Paolo, Brazil, enjoying a meal that included palm heart as an ingredient.

And I couldn't believe my surroundings (no)
I was amazed by my environment and found it hard to believe it was real.

True I got the ends in me, listening to Headie
It's true that I represent the area I come from and I'm currently listening to Headie One.

Getting gassed in the mountains (yeah)
I'm feeling good and excited in this situation, like I'm on top of a mountain.

No time for the thirst trap, nigga, I'm quenched
I'm not interested in trying to impress anyone or attract attention because I'm content and satisfied with where I'm at.

I drink from a different fountain (yup)
I have unique experiences and perspectives that set me apart from others.

Hard food when I serve that all these likkle fish get fried
My music and style are tough and powerful, while those who can't keep up are easily overwhelmed and ignored.

And your yam get pounded (pounded yam)
Others may try to imitate or copy what I do, but I stay true to my own origins and culture.

Hmm, might be a brat for a bit
I might come across as spoiled or entitled at times.

Fuck your blunt, man, I want my spliffs
I prefer my own way of doing things and will reject or challenge others' ideas or preferences.

Want my farm and I want my chicks
I have specific goals and desires, including owning a farm and having multiple romantic partners.

Want my suits tailored by Gucci
I have a taste for luxury and high-end fashion, such as custom-made suits by Gucci.

First-class to Shibuya for the sushi
I enjoy traveling in luxury and have a particular appreciation for high-quality sushi from Shibuya, Tokyo.

Give me my checks and give me my plaques
I want to receive recognition and monetary compensation for my success and hard work.

Want breakdowns and I want my stats, pronto (now, now)
I want detailed information and analysis about my performance and success as soon as possible.

Yeah, yeah, God flow
My rapping and creative abilities are divinely inspired and powerful.

Make you wanna dance all day like Alfonso (move your body)
My music can inspire and motivate people to dance and move.

Wanna talk about P's, wanna talk about wage
Others may want to discuss money and finances with me.

But can you do the job though? (Can you?)
I question others' abilities to fulfill certain tasks or responsibilities, regardless of their financial situation.

I can't vouch for a man that ain't got the talent and business combo (no)
I have high standards and expectations for those I work with, and believe that success requires both talent and business acumen.

It's all a sport, flow on archery don't get hit with the crossbow
The music industry is like a game or competition, and I need to be strategic and avoid getting hurt by others' attacks or criticism.

Stayed to myself been true to the core (stay to myself, I stay to myself)
I prefer to keep to myself and stay loyal to my own beliefs and values.

I was always the illest, there's never been no cure (no medication)
I've always had a talent for music and creativity, and there's no way to cure or suppress it.

Calling shots like I call in favors, facts (true)
I have significant influence and authority, and can make things happen through my connections and reputation.

My niggas got me if I ever need that
I have a loyal group of friends who support and protect me when necessary.

Still, there's things I'm faced with
Despite my success and resources, I still experience challenges and obstacles.

Stormz ain't lying, man, these fools audacious (yeah)
Stormzy was right, some people are foolishly bold and reckless.

Might demonstrate frustration
I might express my anger or disappointment in certain situations.

Tryna keep cool but I'm losing patience (ay)
I'm trying to remain calm and composed, but I'm running out of patience.

Hmm, no cap, we hate snakes and we hate rats
My group and I don't trust or tolerate people who are deceptive or untrustworthy.

You can have opinions just don't mislead the youth in your raps
Others can have their own perspectives or ideas, as long as they don't harm or negatively influence young people.

(Please, please, please, please, please)
I'm pleading or begging for something, although it's not clear what.

Mummy handled business, Papa was a rolling stone
My mother was responsible and took care of important matters, while my father was unreliable and often absent.

I'm a mix of both, there ain't no bitch boy in my bones
I have qualities from both of my parents, but I'm also strong-willed and independent.

Fucking up this dough like say it's pizza
I'm making a lot of money and spending it quickly, like I'm eating pizza.

You can't get Italia, Fashion Week, huh, shut down Milan down to Rome
I have access to high-end fashion and experiences in Italy, from Fashion Week in Milan to the city of Rome.

Looking like the future, got you fearing the unknown
My appearance and style are innovative and forward-thinking, and may make others feel anxious about what's next.

I got stories regarding your bitch I won't disclose
I have information or experiences about someone's significant other, but won't share it publicly.

Picture perfect, nothing picture perfect, here I know
From the outside, my life and success may seem flawless, but I know that's not always the case.

All illusions, why the world confusing? I don't know
The world and life often seem deceptive or confusing, and I'm not sure why.

You can't diss me three-time, pull up behind, you'll never see I
If someone tries to disrespect me repeatedly, I'll confront them in a way that they won't see coming.

I'm probably the reason why your bosses had to resign
I'm so powerful and influential that my actions or words could cause someone's superiors to quit or be fired.

Niggas follow my step, read about me like I'm Eli
People are closely watching and studying my every move, like they do with famous athletes like Eli Manning.

I just book a flight only to land and have some me-time
I sometimes take trips or flights by myself, just to relax and recharge.

Let me be I'm (let me be I'm)
I want to be left alone and given space.

Taking time out, hold my spot
I'm taking a break or hiatus, but I want to maintain my position or position of power.

Go through your time now
Others should use this time to focus on their own growth and development.

Huh, pull up at your spot, they throwing roses at my feet, yeah, yeah
When I arrive somewhere, people are showing me great admiration and respect, as if they're throwing roses at my feet.

Fuck you mean? In the presence of a queen
I'm a powerful and regal female figure, and others should show me the respect and deference due to a queen.

Bad bitch say that she wanna know what's underneath
A confident woman is showing an interest in getting to know me on a deeper level.

I can show you things in private, know I hate to cause a scene, yeah
I'm willing to share private or personal experiences with someone, but I don't want to draw attention or create drama.

Range black just to match the color of my skin
I chose a black Range Rover to match the color of my skin.

Last year, pen was crazy, this year tougher with the ink, yeah
Last year, my music and writing were exceptional, but this year it's even better and more challenging.

Know the people miss me, they like, "Where the fuck you've been?", Yeah
Fans and supporters have been wondering where I've been and miss hearing from me.

Counted all my losses, manifested all my wins, yeah
I've tallied up my past failures and difficulties, but I've also brought about many victories through my hard work and mindset.

Can't believe it's Simbi here that's had you listening
I'm surprised and proud that people are paying attention to my music and message.

Well, fuck that bitch for now, you didn't know she had a twin, yeah
I'm ignoring a specific person or event for the moment, and jokingly pointing out that they didn't know about another related person or thing.

I've been in my zone, moving lowkey in Berlin, ah
I've been focusing on my own work and interests in a quiet way while spending time in Berlin.

You can get the smoke, nigga, das ist kein problem, ah
I'm not afraid to confront someone or give them trouble, even if they don't speak my language (in this case, German).

Where do I begin? Ah
I'm not sure where to start when reflecting on my life and experiences.

You might just find out, real soon, go through your time now
Others will soon discover more about me and what I'm up to, so they should focus on their own growth and development in the meantime.

Rolling stone
I'm constantly moving and evolving, like a rolling stone that gathers no moss.
