Blood lyrics Little Simz

Blood

Hello?
Hello?
Twin, wagwan?
Where are you?
And how's Mum?
Wait, hold on
Why don't you phone Mum?
Long time I ain't heard from you
Couldn't get one word from you
Duh, that's why I just phoned, sorry
I spoke to Mum on her earth strong
What? Eight months ago?
Don't try that
It's me every day that she hears from
Arthritis in her right leg
Am I right in saying you see no wrongs?
It's like the woman won't relax
I already told her quit the nurse job
I said I'll put her on a wage
What more can I say?
If she just wants to work, what?
Well, you can't replace her son with money
Yo, are you even in the country?
Of course I'm never in the country
And it's called a "world tour" funnily
And all you hit me for is money
Mm, well, some of us ain't got it like that
And that's not true
I call to check on you
And you say you'll hit me right back
Then you're gone for months
But it's nice that you finally called for once
"For once"?
Yes, "for once"
Stop acting surprised
You're saying "for once"?
You're saying "for once"?
When do you ever call me?
Alright

Distance in the dark
I feel we've grown apart
If you want greener grass
You have to water where you are

Truth is I just been burning bridges
Finding women
Hurting siblings
Left me tired of winning
Found some people, but they weren't my niggas
What? Even Jay?
That's another day
I've been in the club where I drink the liquor
Working through the night, but I'm working with it
Something 'bout our ends I'm missing
'Cause the mountain top it ain't so fulfilling

Mm, nah, I hear you
And I been worried about how you've been coping with it
There's one of you
But there's two of us
And I've been in need of my brother's love
But that life ain't sustainable, so don't lose yourself
And how's your health?
I have my days where I drift away
And see Granny's face, and wanna trade places
Thats normal, ain't it?
Not really
If she heard that, she'll turn in her grave
That woman loved you
No one above you
I low-key felt you were the favourite
Rah, that was mad
That was crazy
Oi, that woman, una
God rest her soul

Distance in the dark
I fear we've grown apart
If you want greener grass
You have to water where you are

On a real, twin
I really don't know much about your lifestyle
Or what comes with it
But I know you
So it's weird to feel like I can't phone you
I go to work and they play your songs
And my co-workers ain't got no clue that your my family
And your sister I'm proud to be
So when I hear you talk on what you're going through
It breaks my heart into two pieces
It's like life's got two meanings
Three series and four seasons
I hope you find your reasons
I found mine and found pure weakness
Temptation like the group
And I'm so high I'm on the moon
But then I'm so low I'm on a stoop
Bro, please come home soon
But I'm at home when in the booth
But I can't cuddle on this tune
Drums don't know me like you
Keys just lock me in the room
Oh my God, you're such a artist
What does that mean?
In laymen's terms, nothing in between
We're the same but different
And we came up different
I had to take Dad's whippings
Then had to shake up prison
Yeah, well, I had to hold mum crying
So all that pain I ain't buying
Yo, just step outside yourself for one sec
You ain't the only one that's got shit suppressed
I ain't the only one that's got shit suppressed?
You ain't the only one that's got an intellect
And I only phoned you because
I only phoned you 'cause
What?
I only phoned you 'cause I need a friend

My family is my armour
Through the muddiest water water water water
When you clean off sins and karma
You get the muddiest water water water water

Distance in the dark
I feel we've grown apart
If you want greener grass
You have to water where you are
