Lyrics

Little Simz — Standing Ovation

Why the desperate need for an applause? I'll wait

Is she the GOAT here? Well, it's safe to assume

Everybody panic when I step in the room

And I can feel that shit a mile off

Niggas is rapping about pieces

People are really dying, is that what's needed?

I can't save your soul you need Jesus

tell me please, why the desperate need to be remembered?
