Wounds - Little Simz, Chronixx

Your life, would you risk that?

These kids never been bad

Sixteen, rolling round with a big strap

God, how many died from the impact?

Deepest pain, what a mishap (Mishap)

Never worth it when you think back

You idolize the rappers that are on gun talk

But their lifestyle, never lived that, never did that

He didn’t want no crud

No dead bodies and no blood

When a gun man only knows self-hate

Them bullets show no love (Blaow)

Oh, you thought you was grown, huh?

(Huh?)

Deal with it on your own, huh?

(Huh?)

'Til you get caught for the old bill

When the judge give you life like a grown-up (Facts)

Talk about it, I’ll listen when you talk about it

Don’t lie when you talk about it, I know you are lost inside

And feel like no one cares about you, I do

Feels like no one loves you, I do

But it’s gonna take more to break the cycle

Fuck tryna defend your title

When you cold and the rest cry

Another story here for the headlines

Love be my destiny

Destiny, I’m lost

Inside there’s something deeper

With you, it keeps me warm

Love be my destiny

Destiny, I’m lost

Inside there’s something deeper

With you, it keeps me warm

She fearin' the gun, man

Still never leavin' the gun man

Stays near to the gun man

Drop a likkle tear for the gun man

She live and die by the gun man (Die with the gun man)

Tell a lie for the gun man (With the gun man)

She will never give him up, no

When they ask «Where you hiding the gun man?»

(Say no to gun man)

She wanna understand the gun man

Like, «Why does your gun bang?»

He say, «It's a long story

Just know these yutes wanna dun man»

So, tell me now 'cause I gotta know

Are you gonna roll with the gun man?

Drop it low for the gun man?

Get dough with the gun man?

It’s the realest life choices

She could lose it all for one man

Now see, look at what your boy did

This all could have been avoided

There’s no goin' back, you picked your poison

Made your choices

Well love must have been the best lie

Another story for the headlines

Go

Love be my destiny

Destiny, I’m lost

Inside there’s something deeper

With you, it keeps me warm

Love be my destiny

Destiny, I’m lost

Inside there’s something deeper

With you, it keeps me warm

Runnin' with a pistol on my hip

And anybody diss ah get it

Any minute now dem ah go switch, uh

'Cause nuff ah dem did switch already

I tried to live a good life, I tell ya

But when the streets rumble

A gunshot for the good guys

In this concrete jungle

Chaos these days, it’s madness

If you get caught slippin', they’ll do damage

They won’t see you as practice

'Cause behind all these hoods and black tints

It’s them boys that are ready for you on sight

Them boys go get it, won’t hide

Them boys, they don’t wanna hurt your pride

Them boys wanna ruin your life

Better stay wrapped on the coldest nights

Think you’re bad, wanna show them, right?

Take a chance and roll the dice

But we all know how the story ends tonight

He won’t make it back to ends tonight

The fuckery is that he knew this guy

Who would have thought all these years of bein' his pal

He was lookin' at his killer in the eyes?
