Mandarin Oranges (Bonus Track)

[Intro: Little Simz]

Space (my life is so bittersweet)

Yah

[Verse 1: Little Simz]

Went from warming up in the summer to conversations with cold

Still I'm yet to discover just what the future will hold

One mistake to another, have I learnt all my lessons

I'll be the first to admit it, still I'm counting my blessings

Am I rushing this shit? No way

I take my time like the clock was my most latest invention

And while you're here I should mention that this ain’t social talk that would appear in your mentions

I want your undivided attention, hear me out while I'm talking

Now the bigger you are, it's better to follow the stars

Regardless of gender or class, the world is your oyster

Until we ready to start

Now ring the alarm, and let them all know that I'm coming

The best is really nothing short of what Little Simz is becoming

I can tell you that for free, I wanna meet the older me

Never tryna go too fast, it’s not my height, ain't controlling me

My lungs are soaked in trees, don't stop my zoning, please

My life is bittersweet

You should really come and take some of these mandarin oranges, from me

[Chorus: [?] and Little Simz]

Come and take a walk with me (take a walk with me)

My life is so bittersweet (so bittersweet)

I'm not tryna get too deep, no (get too deep, no)

Mandarin oranges

Mandarin oranges

(Come and take a walk with me)

Mandarin oranges

(I'm not tryna get too deep)

Mandarin oranges

Mandarin oranges

(My life is so)

[Verse 2: Waldo]

The pressure's on, the city's ours, even Webster know it

Tryna be us 'cause you can't beat us but you see how that's going

When the time niggas leave us with the firearm showing

Yellow tape, another casket, city's sick of commotion

They said the tape was a classic, that sound like promotion

Made all of that off of fast food and sleeping on sofas

Bitches yelling turn up with a sink full of throw-ups

Soon as this sink we gon' go out, ain't it safe but you know what?

We that crew that they ask 'bout

Yeah, they wanna get know us, yeah, we next up, that's no doubt

It's about time for some closure

Oh, let me show you how to move in a room full of vultures

Doing the most, got me sippin' mimosas

So set your drink on a coaster 'cause you not part of the culture

HGO was the coder, you get wise, you get older

Ain't got no time to come over, give a hoe a cold shoulder

Not a nut, not a buck, not a cup of Folgers

Got soldiers that'll clap, you'll think something’s over

They anticipate the rap 'cause we got something for 'em

Looking for something foreign why you content with borin'?

Black seeds, white feet look like Darren and Lauren

You niggas, soft and sweet, mandarin oranges

Connections overseas got the money in storage

Dressed in camouflage like I'm part of the fortress

Yeah, I'm lighting the forest, lifted like a forklift

Get a fork for the poor pig, I don’t fuck with you, fam

I'm not shaking no hands, 'specially with no hams

I don’t care that’s your mans, get him with the program

Either we winning a Grammy or I'm rolling a gram

[Outro: Little Simz]
