Blue

[Verse 1: Little Simz]

What would you do if all of your pennies were limitless?

Or do you spend any frivolous

All eyes are on you to cover the damages

Would you be generous managing?

Would you be calm or be panickin'?

Does the pound turn us to savages?

How do we weigh up or balance this?

How would you feel, what would you do

If your life was covered in bandages?

If you had a family of four

And the kids wanted things you could never afford

Bailiffs are bangin' the door

Parents are losin' they memory

Your brother is in penitentiary

He writin' to you, but he ain't thеre mentally

How would you feel, what would you do

If you didn't know your identity?

Thе love of your life is wantin' to see you

But work is drainin' your energy

What would you say to your baby girl

When she ask you about white supremacy

This generation is fuckin' the kids up

And I'm just providin' the remedies

How would you feel, what would you do

If you had to write "In loving memory"?

We all afraid of seein' the casket

Make it a home in the cemetery

The truth is hard to swallow

The truth is God still loves your enemies

I know the story of Jonah

I know I come with a different aroma

I know my mind is a textbook that they can learn from

Even though I ain't got a diploma

Why are we waitin'? What is the hold up?

Ain't no one askin' to live in our shoes

From the same place, but different views

Askin' for help was never the move

Too much pride and too much to lose, it's true

[Chorus: Sampha]

There's a light at the end, carry on

You and I found the break to be strong

[Verse 2: Little Simz]

So how would you feel, what would you do

If you thought the world was against you?

You didn't talk to an angel, told him you needed some guidance

You was sufferin' in silence, like you're on a desert island

Feeling hopeless, lifeless

Your body contracted self-doubt, and that is a horrible virus

Is this an incurable climate?

Everybody's on autopilot

But wanna get the diamond in the rough with minimal effort to find it

It's lonely at the top, but not in the way they described it

Who do you pity, or side with?

Who do you ride for, who do you slide with?

What is the saying, you rackin' up mileage for?

Can you see past all my minor flaws?

Are you the type to abide the law?

Are you the kind to be riskin' your life?

What is the cause you are dyin' for?

Always believed it was bigger than me

Even when blurry and I couldn't see, yeah

God said I'm the best for the job, I agree

Now I'm his promise and nothing is free

Would you still do it with no guarantee?

You're either a savin' grace or you're a disturbance

What do you do when given your purpose?

[Break: Sampha]

It's not the fact that you're not here

It's the way you disappear

It's not the fact that you're not here

It's the way you disappear

And who am I when you're no longer here?

Yeah

[Chorus: Sampha]

There's a light at the end, carry on

You and I found the break to be strong

[Ending: Sampha]

Nowhere near, nowhere near

Nowhere near, we used to be

Nowhere near, nowhere near

Nowhere near, we used to be
