Hollow Songtext
von Little Simz

Law and order
You was in my corner, allegedly
What a fake supporter
Got a clean heart, I′m Tola's daughter
Daylight robbery of my soul and my world got smaller
Couldn′t believe it was somebody I know, a smooth talker

Pride and ego, law and order
Got family ready to kill for me, yeah, get a man sauced up
But what kind of woman would I aim to be, if I can't even pray for me?
Don't expect no loyalty is what life taught her
What a life that threw me bricks
There′s a story written by your favourite author, hm

You′re the highest paid, allegedly
God's saving grace, allegedly
You want the best for me, allegedly
But all you got is evil eye and jealousy
It′s a lot to process, God complex
Finding Nemo, pride and ego, law and order


I was goin' hard for the team, no one goin′ harder than me
On a world tour everywhere, when I'm in the stu′ rassing a beat
I was writin' bars in my sleep, pourin' out my heart on my sleeve
You was movin′ like one leech, but your presence is far from a treat

They ask why I′m starvin' the streets?
This nigga tryna hold my shit up
I′ll never forget when you told me, give up
And that my big dreams were far from a reach
And then I broke the tide and brought sand to the beach
To the beach

Imposter posing, your life ain't candid
No song you make can repair the damage
Money, money
Money, money, money, money, money threw you off balance
Law and order

You told me be wary of the sharks and then you became one
What can anyone truly expect from a day one?
Moral injury
This is no longer a mystery, I know exactly how we got here
I had to accept I′d been had
Entitled people are lazy and as members we rationalise that
You're not for the culture, you′re just for the cult


They love bomb you to start, then
Cuff you by the heart, then
Watch you fall apart, then
It's too late by the time they reveal their cards, I think that's an art
Recovery ain′t just for addicts
When your gas lit, that′s the work of a deeply insecure person
Emotionally immature person

I don't expect you′re not a flawed person
But I thought you was good at the core, person
Our people is who we do this for, person
But that's not your person
I accept life has its ways
But I don′t have to forgive to finally be okay
