Days Like This (Interlude)

[Intro (spoken): Little Simz, Little Simz's Mother]

What you telling me, where are you?

But um, I'm just on my way home now

Yeah?

Yeah, and I'm gonna quickly get ready

Alright, cool, say nothing, um, yeah I'm just like recording

Oh, okay

So, um, yeah, meet me after

Yeah?

Yeah

So the car comes in there at 8

Alright, cool

Have the clothes come yet, or not?

Nah, they haven't you know

[?] Alright, cool, say nothing. Cool. Peace

[Verse 1: Little Simz]

Oh, what a day

I've been working, no breaks

Car is coming at 8

Jasmine said to come meet me, but she'll probably be late

Shit, it's 7:15, time is running away

I've got just over a half an hour to finish this interlude

I put my celly on mute, everything else can wait

Mom's been bellin' me off, haven't seen her in days

She know I'm tryna get to this money, tryna get paid

She sent me goodmorning text and that shit brightens my day

I never take that for granted, man, that woman is great

I'm forgetful at times, and imperfect always

But see the love for my mother you can never replace

She worry about me at times, but she know I'm ok

She gettin' older I know, and it's scary to say

Oh, talkin' about it ain't enough and I know now, ay

I'ma call her on the phone now, ay,  wait

[Interlude: Little Simz, Little Simz's Mother]

Hello, Simbi

Mom, where are you?

I'm going now, I'm [?]

Where are you?

I'm in the cab

Where you goin'?

I'm up to see my friend in uh...southeast

Oh, ok, but mom I'm-

Simbi [?]?

Yeah, I'm just working. I'm in the studio

Oh, God bless you. So anyways, goodluck darling. Tell it to everyone

Yeah, I will

I love everyone, I love [?]

Alright, love you

Yeah, stay strong

[Verse 2: Little Simz]

Oh, what a life

Ain't no time for these guys, man my schedule is tight

Leaving London on Saturday and I'm dreading the flight

True, they bought me them comfy seats so I'll probably be aight

Can't get the words out quick enough then I'm probably high

If I don't talk much when you see me then I'm probably tired

And you're prolly inspired, how I juggle these rhymes

Back when I was a youngin, man it was a simpler time

Shit I be doing for fun, it's not always serious stuff

Though it's the realest that why we don't always hear it as much

I'm tryna better myself and they playin' catch-up with me

Don't make me drop another album just to gas up the scene

Don't make me call up my Space Age brothers to light up your team

There ain't no fucks to give when Josh gets on that mic and I get mean

Shit, I knew something slipped my mind, ay

True, was meant to holler Josh, find out what he say, what's he sayin?

[Verse 3: Josh Arce]

Yo, I just came from watchin' this show

I love seein' people doin' their thing on their own

I was just a bayer, hate that word, but I just had to say

I had a good day and now I'm on my way to the place I call home

On the train, mouth watering, like it's rain, for the mic

I couldn't wait, already had things in my brain I'ma write

You say they got bars for days, I got ways for a life

Brain waves, sound waves

Waves that will make you stay high

All of my focus is on this thing I've been focusing on for seven years and counting

You could never take my focus no matter how long I focus on different things, I will always go back to this

Because this is what I've been countin' on for the win

I haven't been as involved as I could of been, but way more involved in my life, growing into my skin

I guess it's all relative to each other, everything is off kin

What you do is a reflection of what you are

Collection of things
