Little Simz - I Love You, I Hate You
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
So much, I would give my life for this ()
If the bullet was the beat, I would probably die for this ()
How many times did I cry for this? ()
I would hate myself if I didn't at least try for this ()
What's at stake is bigger than me
Blood, tears, how it stains, can't rid it with ease ()
What we have in common is our pain, we're given the keys ()
To unlock what it takes to fight for what we believe in ()
Hard to confront the truth of what you see in thе mirror ()
Some peoplе you inspire and others you trigger ()
Fightin' in blind faith, led by the internal voice ()
You might not wanna do it, but you don't have a choice ()
Will the pressure take me to new heights or be my demise? ()
Will my intentions coincide with what I advise? ()
The people lookin' up to me, doin' everything right ()
But who am I to tell anyone how to live their life? ()
Your pain threshold will determine if you survive
I'm amazed by it
Lyin' to myself, pretendin' I was never phased by it
Maybe 'cause you're in my DNA, that's why
[Chorus]
I love youI hate youI love you
Sometimes, I hate you
Always, I love you
But right now, I hate you
I love youI hate you
[Verse 2]
You made a promise to God to be there for your kids ()
You made a promise to give them a life you didn't live ()
My ego won't fully allow me to say that I miss you ()
A woman who hasn't confronted all her daddy issues ()
The day will come when you gotta find all the answers to your sins (I love you)
Pressures of providin', feelin' unhappy within (I hate you)
Or what kind of external family shit up on your plate (I love you)
But I understand wantin' and needin' an escape (I hate you)
Too much unsaid now, the silence givin' me headaches (I love you)
Only through speech can we let go of all this dead weight ()
Even though I'm angry, don't wanna be disrespectful ()
Tryna figure out how to approach this in the best way ()
Hard to not carry these feelings even on my best days ()
Never thought my parent would give me my first heartbreak ()
Anxiety givin' me irregular heart rate ()
Used to avoid gettin' into how I really feel about this ()
Now I see how fickle life can be and so it can't wait ()
Should've been the person there to hold me on my dark days ()
It's easier to stargaze and wish than be faced with this reality ()
Is you a sperm donor or a dad to me? And still
[Chorus]

Always,
But right now,
Always, ()
[Verse 3]
On this mission, you live and learn ()
The world will show you no mercy from birth ()
How do you humanise your hero? ()
'Round here, you're only respected if earned ()
Half-hearted sorries, can't let your guard down ()
To get to nirvana, where do you start out? ()
Angry 'cause they don't meet your unrealistic standards ()
Then you realise that they're human and you calm down ()
Sometimes I'm unbalanced and I think, "Rah, why am I losin' my steps?"
Lately, I'm paranoid, I feel my life is a mess
I'm just usin' my voice, hope it will have an effect
He was just once a boy, often I seem to forget
Lookin' at Polaroids of pictures secretly kept
You know what was destroyed, but you don't know what was left
Tryna phase out the noise of who you hear in your head
Everything is a choice and anything can be said
Is you missin' the point? Are you just hearin' me vent?
Or is you in understandin', knowin' my words will connect?
I keep you in my prayers 'cause life is short as we know
Every mistake you make should contribute to your growth
What you choose to avoid'll probably come in your dreams
I'm not forgivin' for you, man, I'm forgivin' for me
And sometimes
[Chorus]
Sometimes,
Sometimes,
Always,
