Introvert Lyrics

Introvert - Little Simz

...

There's a war, there's a war

The kingdom's on fire, the blood of a young messiah

I see sinners in a church, I see sinners in a church

Sometimes I might be introvert

There's a war inside, I hear battle cries

Mothers burying sons, young boys playing with guns

The devil's a liar, fulfil your wildest desires

Now I don't wanna be the one to doctor this

But if you can't feel pain, then you can't feel the opposite

The fight between the Yin and Yang's a fight you'll never win

I study humans, that makes me an anthropologist

I'm not into politics, but I know it's dark times

Parts of the world still living in apartheid

But if I don't take this winner's flight, that's career suicide

Though I should've been a friend when your grandma died

I see the illness eat my aunt laying in her bed

I see her soul rising as her body gets closer to death

Find a way, I'll find a way

The world's not over

I will make it, don't you cry

In God we trust

'Cause we're not alone

I need a licence to feel

Internal wounds and I'm not tryna be healed (No, I don't, no, I don't)

I sabotage what we are trying to build

'Cause of feelings I keep inside, but it's time to reveal (Reveal, reveal)

I hate the thought of just being a burden

I hate that these conversations are surfaced

Simz the artist or Simbi the person?

To you I'm smiling, but really, I'm hurting

I dedicate my life and gave my heart over twenty-something years

Left wondering how I even feel

But was it even worth it?

I bottle up and then spill it in verses

One day, I'm wordless, next day, I'm a wordsmith

Close to success, but to happiness, I'm the furthest

At night, I wonder if my tears will dry on their own

Hoping I will fulfil Amy's purpose

Angel said, "Don't let you ego be a disturbance"

Inner demon said, "Motherfucker, you earned this"

Like they strip you of everything you're deserving

Realise there is a prison in us, we are conditioned as fuck

Man, it's like they can't sleep till our spirit is crushed

How much fighting must we do? We've been fearless enough

All we seen is broken homes here and poverty

Corrupt government officials, lies, and atrocities

How they talking on what's threatening the economy?

Knocking down communities to re-up on properties

I'm directly affected, it does more than just bother me

Look beyond the surface, don't just see what you wanna see

My speech ain't involuntary

Projecting intentions straight from my lungs

I'm a Black woman and I'm a proud one

We walk in blind faith not knowing the outcome

But as long as we're unified, then we've already won

Find a way, I'll find a way

The world's not over

I will make it, don't you cry

In God we trust

'Cause we're not alone

Sometimes I can be introvert

Feels like, feels like, feels like I can be introvert

Introvert

Feels like, feels like, feels like I can be introvert

Sometimes I can be introvert

And so it begins

The base is an amalgamation of everything

Rules are not to be played by rebels

The story of never-ending

Your introversion led you here

Intuition protected you along the way

Feelings allowed you to be well balanced

And perspective gave you foresight

The top of the mountain is nothing without the climb

Only the strong will survive

Only the strong (Will survive)

Alone, but not lonely

Your truth unveils with time

As you embark on a journey

Of what it takes to be a woman
