Mandarin Oranges (Bonus Track)

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

Space
Yoh

Went from rolling up in the summer to conversations with cold
Still I'm yet to discover what the future will hold
One mistake to another, have I learned all my lessons
I'll be the first to admit it, still I'm counting my blessings
I'm not rushing this shit, oh, wait
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 louder
Nigga you are expected 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 not as sure what Little Simz is becoming
I can tell you that for free, I wanna meet the older me
Never tryna go too far, it's not my height, ain't controlling me
My lungs are soaked in trees, don't stop my zoning, please
My laugh is bittersweet
You should really come and take some of these mandarin oranges, from me

Come and take a walk with me
My life is so bittersweet
I'm not tryna get too deep
Mandarin oranges
Mandarin oranges
Mandarin oranges
Mandarin oranges
Mandarin oranges

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 of off fast food and sleeping on sofas
Bitches yelling turn up with a sink full of throw-ups
Soon as [?] we gon' go out, ain't it safe but you know what?
We that crew that they ask about
Yeah, they wanna 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 sipping Mimosa
So set your drink on a coaster 'cause you not part of the culture
HGO was the colder, 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 [?]
Got soldiers that'll clap, you'll think something's over
They anticipate the rap 'cause we have something for 'em
Looking for something for 'em why you can't tell we're born
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
