[01:08.577]The kingdoms on fire
[01:09.591]The blood of a young messiah
[01:11.168]I see sinners in a church
[01:12.620]I see sinners in a church
[01:14.195]Sometimes I might be introvert
[01:16.419]There's a war inside
[01:17.620]I hear battle cries
[01:18.975]Mothers burying sons
[01:20.059]Young boys playing with guns
[01:21.558]The devils a liar
[01:22.417]Fulfill your wildest desires
[01:24.250]Now I don't wanna be the one to doctor this
[01:26.185]But if you can't feel pain then you can't feel the opposite
[01:28.863]The fight between the ying and yang is a fight you'll never win
[01:31.006]I studying humans, that makes me an anthropologist
[01:34.043]I'm not into politics
[01:35.052]But I know it's darks times
[01:36.598]Parts of the world still living in apartheid(there's a war, there's a war)
[01:39.137]But if I don't take this winners flight,
[01:40.685]that's career suicide
[01:41.923]Though I should've been a friend when your grandma died
[01:44.411]I see the illness eat my aunt laying in her bed
[01:46.682]I see her soul rising as her body gets closer to death
[02:01.251]Find a way, I'll find a way
[02:03.639]The world's not over
[02:06.267]I will make it, don't you cry
[02:08.528]In God we trust
[02:10.214]'Cause we're not alone
[02:11.170]I need a licence to feel(I can't feel)
[02:13.049]Internal wounds and I'm not tryna be healed
[02:15.591]I sabotage what we are trying to build
[02:17.701]'Cause of feelings I keep inside but it's time to reveal(reveal, reveal)
[02:21.910]I hate the thought of just being a burden
[02:24.419]I hate that these conversations are surfaced
[02:26.993]Simz the artist or Simbi the person?
[02:29.421]To you I'm smiling but really I'm hurting
[02:31.937]I dedicate my life and gave my heart over twenty-something years, left wondering how I even feel
[02:36.683]or was it was even worth it?
[02:38.618]I bottle up and then spill it in verses
[02:41.102]One day I'm wordless next day I'm a wordsmith

[02:53.899]Inner demon said, "Motherfxcker, you earned this"
[02:56.477]Like they strip you of everything you're deserving
[02:59.027]Realize there is a prison in us,
[03:00.454]we are conditioned as fxck
[03:02.156]Man, it's like they can't sleep 'til our spirit is crushed
[03:04.730]How much fighting must we do? We 've been fearless enough
[03:07.208]All we see is broken homes here and poverty
[03:09.491]Corrupt government officials, lies and atrocities
[03:12.071]How they talking on what's threatening the economy
[03:14.608]Knocking down communities to re-up on properties
[03:17.196]I'm directly effected, it does more than just bother me
[03:19.713]Look beyond the surface, don't just see what you wanna see?
[03:22.212]My speech ain't involuntary
