Enter The Void

(album: E.D.G.E - 2014)

[Little Simz:]
Enter the void, en en enter the void
Enter the void, en en enter the void

Enter the void
It starts with a young boy
Walking on the land where they turn you down
If you're trying to start to amp and make noise
(What happened to your light?)
Where you gotta make the entertainment for yourself
Cause there ain't nuttin to enjoy
Only joy was conveyed through his voice
Little nigga wasn't trying be employed
Nope, nope
Had dreams as bigger than dreams
Had a heart full of gold that was bigger than me
Little jimmy didn't care for no enemies
Listening to 2Pac drinking Hennesse
Didn't really see the point to get a degree
But, daddy would disagree
Little jimmy was a child a three
Mummy saying 'look at this child in me'
This that shit that makes you wanna leave
Jimmy was a smiler
Through the pain and darkness
It wouldn't matter no
Cause he'd always be smiling
Golden child is so profound
And was broken now
Older now, not golden now
And only doubting himself
No playing round with his health
All his people are now gone, well they're either dead or in jail
This that shit that made him wonder if he was living in hell
Thinking 'how can this the plan, when I gave my heart to world? '
All I wanted was love
And now my life is a fail
Oh well...
Oh well...

[Ryan Nile:]
What happened to your light?
What happened to your light?
Funny how it changed, ain't it funny how it changed?
Funny how it changed, ain't it funny?
Enter the void
En-En-Enter the void
Light

[Little Simz:]
Well, Little Jimmy had a little jimmy
Now this is where its getting sticky
Baby mummy ain't ready to be a mummy
Well, I've got my baby and he's coming with me
And he go wherever I go
He know whoever I know
Shit was all good in our young days
But its changed now because we've grown, oh
Jimmy looking back and he thinking how did it happen
One minute he at the top and another he back to trapping
Man this ain't not good going back to black
Singing didn't work so its back to rap
Me and you that's back to back
Never tell a lie when I gas the track
And that's petrol all in your face
Now hes taking hits the face
Cause that green it won't go to waste
Clearly he don't care about no light
Hes in a dark place
Ain't no smile on Jimmys face
That shit be awkward and plain
No more, hopes and dreams
Hes just bumming around an estate
At 40 years of age
Oh well...
Oh well...

[Ryan Nile:]
What happened to your light?
What happened to your light?
Light

[Little Simz:]
We're going to get into the mind of Jimmy...
I control the time, it won't change the past
Wrote the sign when I quote the lines
And these minds that ain't made for us
You can see that I'd pray for us
If I knew how to break out
Out of the system that just be slaving us
They say they want them frowns
Well fuck that because you won't be changing us
You better your shit won't last
Been too long and its gone too far
And I don't know where I'm heading
Fuck! I don't know where I'm heading
They say that the code is embedded
In our souls until we have fed it
All the roots you know that I lead it
When I speak you know that it's
Light

[Ryan Nile:]
What happened to your light?
What happened to your light?
Enter the void
En-En-Enter the void
What happened to your light?
What happened to your light?
To your...
