Little Simz - Peace Of Mind

Oh, clarity's all I need
I've been on the verge of a breakdown from these challenges I receive
Tell 'em I won't break now
Won't bring a smile to my enemies
I been blessed enough so far
But still the lord's got me on my knees
Still working
I've made mistakes and I've learned
You think you know what I'm earning?
You need to worry about your worth

I been through hardship, I'll tell you
There was only a pound in my purse
Still grind this shit, I ain't made it
Ain't gonna lie, it coulda been worse
My phone's been ringing off lately
I save numbers as don't answer
I know that shit, it sounds rude
But I get that trait from my father
I look above and see mountains
In turkey now as I'm writing
Shit, clarity's all I needed
It took time to understand timing

Please understand that these are my thoughts
Yeah, that I share with you
I care for you
When you're down just press play and I'll be there for you
Like you can count on me
Yeah, you can count on me
Us uniting as a unit is what I'd be glad to see
Talk to me

In search of this peace of mind
Peace of mind, peace within myself
Peace within this fucking universe if you will like
And in this industry, and within everything just like
There's too much war already, there's too much segregation
There's too much discrimination there's too much (give me peace of mind)
Too much of anything is bad for you right so
I dunno man, for fuck sake

In a different timezone, different place
I hardly remember days, I partly feel quite ashamed
That I rarely remember faces
My artistry hasn't changed
That's probably the one thing that I actually can maintain
These just are my thoughts
See that I share with you, I care for you
When you're down just press play and I'll be there for you
Like you can count on me
You can count on me, yeah
You can count on me
Go

Oh vanity's all they teach
They ain't tryna work for nothing anymore till their salary has increased
Get down on your knees
Pray to the all mighty
'Cause when that day comes, you're either pissed or you got lucky
This won't be the worst of my days
They will remember me for paths that I've paved
Take the stone with your right hand
And make sure they see on them stars my name is engraved

Is that Hollywood fame?
Is that selling your soul for a little bit of change?
Is that burning coal for a little bit of flame?
No control, I'm a little insane
Oh, let go have a little champagne
Sip that slow 'cause our aim is to maintain
Is that a gimmick? You play games
Live show there ain't a limit on that stage
That's that (uh)

Keep me to yourself and don't share me to no one else
Have I been to this place before?
Can I mould and break down the door?
Lost in my thoughts
This is what I share with you
I care for you
When you're down, just press play and I'll be there for you
Like you can count on me
Yeah, you can count on me
Us uniting as a unit is what I'd be glad to see

See how I be on the edge
I know you [?] the knowledge you had inserted
The way I did it on 'em
Never under pressure I ain't trying to say
[?] Little simz you just shitted on 'em
Stars, you can see I'm headed for 'em
And even if you're headed this way
I don't wanna be in the presence so I'ma teleport
I been waiting for it
Now I'm ready for it

Tell me how to find your way home when the lights go
I was thinking' 'bout the past then my mind froze
Brain freeze I believe that shit is ice cold
Killin' every single rapper they can die slow
You can live fast and then wonder where the time goes
Till I build it I'm just tryna get my mind blown
He be looking' for the ones you be looking for the one
And just both of them are looking' for the right souls
That's

Them in a different timezone different place
They hardly remember days, they partly feel quite ashamed
That they rarely remember faces
Their artistry does not change
That's probably the one thing they actually can maintain
These just are their thoughts
See that they share with you
They care for you
When you're down just press play and they'l be their for you
Like you can count on me
You can count on me
You can count on me
