[Refrain: Little Simz]
Mentally enslaved
Mentally deranged
Mental doesn't change
Rental isn't paid
Why do you pretend to live any day
We are not the same
Is that all I tell myself to make me feel better
[Hook: Little Simz and Chronixx]
Have I let my people down?
Let my people down
Have I let my people down?
Have I let my people down?
Have I let my people down?
My people down
Never, never let my people down
Never let my people down
Never let my people down
Never let my people
[Verse 1: Chronixx]
I'm not half the man Marley was
Still not heard the voice of Garvey calling us
Luther King's soul is still patiently waiting for his dreams to come true because it feels like the same thing again
Still I fight fire with fire, streets do not like fire
What's the matter with matter?
Still marching, screaming black lives matter
And so many people trying to be an activist in society
These days what we really need is active spirituality
Cause, Bob done fight already, X done fight already
Man and Rosa Parks may be flying first cla** nice and steady
So if you want to fight that fight again then alright my baby
But after the revolution must come the evolutionaries
I [?] Vietnam [?]
Today our fight is to activate all the peanut glands
All the youths in the streets tryna eat for money
Provide them with the [?]
Make them feel what they feel
[?]
Let my people down
[Refrain: Little Simz]
Mentally deranged
Mental doesn't change
Rental isn't paid
Why do you pretend to live any day
We are not the same
Is that all I tell myself to make me feel better
[Verse 2: Little Simz]
I'm not half the woman Maya was
Still I hear the voice of Nina here guiding us
We're running out of legends
I know they look from the heavens down on me
I can't let them down
The people that are meant to be protecting us are k**ing us
The people that are meant to be protecting us are k**ing us
Anxiety and adrenaline, I know you feel the rush
Do you hear me now?
[Hook: Little Simz and Chronixx]
Never let my people down
Never, never let my people down
No, no
You say
Never let my people down
Never let my people down
Never let my people
