The Lights - Little Simz

You’ve been on the run, I’ve been on a run

What we running from?

Look how far we’ve come

Look what you’ve become

I don’t know you much

This is what the lights will do to you

How’d you find yourself without losing you?

Still the same person, why they look at you different?

Ain’t your fault they’re choosing to

And it’s proof and these shits are blinding

They lie to me when telling me they’re excited

I never really understood the concept of fame

Is it you or the people around you that change?

Is it true that after, nothing’s the same?

Well to finding this out, man I’m on my way

I’m on one today, I must say

It’s best to talk about what I face

How do these lights make you feel?

How do these lights make you feel?

How do these lights make you feel?

How do these lights make you feel?

How do these

People judge without knowing you

Couldn’t understand what you’re going through

He ignored all the scrutiny

But on the edge of destruction, he was soon to be

Did you lose the key?

Are you entirely

Tired of being here?

You feel like you’re causing a scene?

Well

All he was looking for is love

I guess he found it in drugs

Guess he found it in clubs

Till he got caught up in some trouble then found it in cuffs

Is it the end for him?

Who knows

But until then, shit

Now all these lights make him feel

Now all these lights make him feel

Now all these lights make him feel

Now all these lights make him feel, now all these

Oh, we got caught up in the badness

How were we gonna hack this?

But talk to me like

You’ve been on the run, I’ve been on a run

What we running from?

Look how far we’ve come

Look what you’ve become

I don’t know you much

I’ve seen you 'bout these flashy events many times, still

I don’t know you much

Know that you’re very similar to me, you’re the same, still

I don’t know you much

Oh, what these lights have done to her

This lifestyle’s never been fun to her

Trials of the past can’t run from her

She’s incomplete and her stomach churns

And no one’s concerned, nothing’s learned

Nothing’s worth it all, nothing’s learned

Pills are popped when the head is hurting

But more than three if that doesn’t work

Now suicide’s what them papers say

Nobody’s at her grave today

Another young soul just fades away

While another young soul is on its way

Shit, what these lights will do in life

But darkness has never been a friend of mine

It’s lonely at the top, I’ve got a fear of heights

Said it’s lonely at the top, I’ve got a fear of heights

Said it’s lonely at the top, come share my light

How do these lights make you feel?

How do these lights make you feel?

How do these lights make you feel?

How do these lights make you feel?

How do these
