Voices Lyrics - Iisuperwomanii (lilly Singh)

{Intro (spoken)} 

There is a war going on inside or head 

The good versus the bad 

The scared versus the brave 

There is no single victor 

For the war goes on for a lifetime 

Back and forth the voices go 

Perhaps there was never meant to be a winner 

For the real prize is to be self-aware 

To befriend your voices 

And from time to time 

Give them a microphone 

{Transition (spoken)} 

I'm the best, I'm the best that ever was 

And I'm the best that ever will be 

All the success, that's all me 

I don't need anybody else 

I did it all my own, all my success is all I need 

Lilly, you're the best 

{Voice of Ego} 

They think that I fail 

When they see me on YouTube 

Who is she? 

They don't have a clue 

Oh man, she ain't funny 

I don't understand 

Yo, how does she get views 

These numbers ain't nothing 

She tripping 

Straight up, yo 

This girl is confused 

I tripped all the way 

Onto Forbes list, now 

Let me tie up my shoes 

Who am I? 

Who am I? 

Hello, nice to meet you 

My name is The News 

Haters, say, 'hi' to your sisters 

And tell 'em that I say, 

'Yo, thanks for the views' 

I got three Ls in my name 

But, yo, don't get it twisted 

I get double-Us 

My money like a pair of Nikes 

My cheques, 

They comin' in twos 

When you sleepin', I work 

When you slackin', I work 

When you clubbin', I don't do the same 

When you breakin', I work 

When you quittin', I work 

When you fakin', I don't play that game 

When you frontin', I work 

When you talkin', I work 

When you cryin', I go through the pain 

You flexin' your arms 

I'm flexin' my life 

'Cause homie, my hustle got gains 

Back in the day, they used to say, 

'You will not get far' 

But, now today 

My Insta page 

Lookin' like postcards 

These people don't move 

They run outa gas 

The hustle is idle 

I'm sippin' on booze 

Flyin' first class 

Texting my idles 

If you don't know me I replace TV 

So, yeah, I'm in Tidal 

If you don't like me 

Kiss my booty 

With some BAWSE 

That 'ish 'ill last a while 

If I'm in a good mood 

I might mention you 

And give you some hype 

Tag you in a pic 

Give you a career for the rest of yo' life 

Rest of your (raa) 

{Transition (spoken)} 

Double tap, double tap, double tap 

Double tap, double tap, double tap 

Double tap, double tap, double tap 

Double tap, double tap, double tap 

Hello? 

What if I'm successful and all alone? 

I don't wanna do this anymore (I'm so alone) 

I just want my friends, I want my family 

I don't wanna do this, I don't wanna be alone 

Can somebody please talk to me right now? 

{Voice of Loneliness} 

I'm working hard to make my family proud 

But maybe they just wanna see me more 

What if I'm all alone before a crowd 

And the only friend I have with me is Forbes 

Is it worth it? 

Do I deserve it? 

I think I'm destined for greatness 

But I'm unsure of it 

I moved so far away 

From everything I know 

That was the only way 

I thought that I could grow 

I see amazing things 

I meet amazing folks 

You ask the joy it brings? 

I couldn't tell you though 

I'm always on the go 

No time to take it in 

I meet my idols 

Then I'm searching for the next win 

I don't know what I'm doing 

I'm making this all up 

What if talent isn't true 

And this was all luck 

Do people love me for me 

Or do they love my stats? 

If I didn't have all of that 

Would they have my back? 

I miss having conversation, I try 

But it's hard to have patience 

When it's selfies before, 'hi' 

Like, 'Can I take a selfie?' 

No, 'Hi, how are you?' 

Yeah, for sure, uncle 

It's nice to see you too 

My choices make me lonely 

I don't let people hold me 

I'm addicted to success 

Scared to get some rest 

Killing myself slowly 

Claiming nobody knows me 

And it took this beat to confess 

That I'm a mess 

I don't what I'm doing 

God, give me a sign 

I don't know what I'm doing 

I'm making this all up 

And I'm a mess 

{Transition (spoken)} 

Just, feeling so insecure right now 

I, I don't want anybody to look at me 

Or touch me or talk to me 

Just, just leave me alone, I'm alone 

That's, that's all I know (don't touch me) 

Had such a long day 

Just want somebody to hold me 

Somebody to touch me and feel me 

Make me feel like I'm the one 

{Voice of Sexiness) 

I don't wanna talk 

I work a long day 

So I wanna know 

Can you work a long night? 

I don't wanna talk 

I work a long day 

So I wanna know 

Can you work a long night? 

I like the way you look 

When I'm in this dress 

Can you make me feel blessed 

When I'm feeling super sexy? 

I don't care what's right 

I want you next to me 

Make me forget my responsibilities 

I don't wanna tell you 'bout my day 

I just wanna use your body 

In the most selfish way 

I'm feelin' myself 

Feelin' some type of way 

Only thing would be better 

Is you feelin' me 

Can you pull me really close 

Kiss up on my neck? 

Then we switch roles 

And we start to sweat 

Don't you dare stop now 

Chills up and down 

Fingers down my spine 

Heavy breathing sound 

Bodies start to grind 

Don't you dare talk now 

Let me let go of myself 

Let me be a side of me 

That people never see 

(Can you let go of yourself 

Let me see a side of you 

That people never see) 

I'm a tomboy with a figure 

Underneath that T-shirt 

Trace the curves with your finger 

But you better make it quick 

Took a break from the hustle 

I need to get back to it 

It's your lucky day 

I work hard and they say 

That's also how you gotta pay 

Can you please stop talking? 

Put some Queen Bey on repeat 

Let's get it poppin' 

{Transition (spoken)} 

I am the sexiest person on the planet right now 

I just want you next to me and I want you to feel me 

Feel how confident I am right now 

No playin' around, no jokes 

I don't give an eff about anything 

No, I'm not serious, I'm not sexy 

I'm a goofball, I'm just playing around 

I don't care, life's too short 

{Voice of Silliness} 

I'm sexy and I know it 

Wearing spanx and I show it 

Got stretch marks on my booty 

All these carbs are bound to grow it 

And I don't give any effs 

Life's too blessed to be stressed 

But if your name is Efron 

I'mma step out of this dress 

Yeah, right, like I shaved my legs, I didn't 

I don't have a thigh gap 

But I sure got all the trimmings 

And I can't do a smokey eye 

No matter how hard I try 

So I use that eye shadow 

To turn myself to a guy 

Drawing beards on my face 

Putting wigs on my head 

Double tapping Nick Bateman 

While I'm lying in my bed 

Holla, love handles 

I got them love handles 

No pedicure 

Rocking open-toe sandals, holla 

Love handles 

I got them love handles 

Hella split ends in my hair 

So tangled 

And I am such a G 

Unicorns all on my feet 

Sipping half a Cosmo 

Got me dancing so off-beat 

My outfit not on point 

And my nails not on fleek 

Spray tan effing up 

All my clean white sheets (shemurr!) 

Life is really good 

Yeah, my life is kind of perfect 

I can see the whole world 

Like I'm Jasmine on a carpet 

I don't have a single problem 

I think I deserve it 

I'm like Sixth Harmony 

Baby, I am so worth it 

Got my heels in my hand 

And I'm walking down the street 

I can't wait to eat some fries 

Then go straight to get some sleep 

{Transition (spoken)} 

I don't care about anything 

Life is perfect, the world is perfect 

People are perfect 

Hugging people, loving people 

Drinking my drink, doing my dance 

I'm on top of the world right now 

I don't know why I always pretend 

Like everything's okay because it's not 

It's not okay, the world is not okay 

The world is not happy 

The world's a bad place 

{Voice of Suffering} 

How can I sleep 

How can I eat 

How can I live 

When freedom isn't really free? 

'Cause I am a failure 

Not just me but rather 

We all fail if 

People don't know black lives matter 

My money don't mean nothing 

If equal pay ain't the standard 

Tryna tweet these changes 

But 140 letters can't change strangers 

It's not enough to be 

A diamond in the rough 

'Cause if you sit to pee 

At the bottom of the ladder 

We got clowns in elections 

Never pay them no attention 

But their hate is progressing 

That's a reflection of who we are 

Who are we? 

We killin' people for lovin' people 

We don't know how to stop it 

We just makin' trending topics 

Why aren't we aiding AIDS? 

When it comes to real problems 

We need some hearing aids 

Some priorities, some respect 

Instead we reading about 

Which two celebs just had sex 

Girls are getting raped 

That ain't the fault of mini-skirts 

That ain't because of alcohol 

Or because she liked to flirt 

That's because we made a place 

Where she has less of a worth 

And offenders walk away 

While the victims lay to hurt 

You scared of Muslims? 

I'm scared of your mentality 

Your weak mind is why 

We have so much damn brutality 

A war on terrorism 

Bigger war on ignorance 

Nice Muhammad Ali tattoo 

I guess ignorance is bliss 

People are drowning in the water that we drink 

Tryna escape war 

What more you got to think? 

You would rather let them sink 

Than to let them in 

Borders, money, politics 

Eff the human condition 

That's the world we live in 

Killing them, letting them die 

Now what's the difference 

We are killers, we are hateful 

Are we blessed and ungrateful? 

The solution and the problem 

We can't just pray 

We gotta solve 'em 

Stop praying, shut up and solve 'em 

We are the problem to our goddamn problems 

How can you sleep? How can you eat? 

You are the problem to your goddamn problems 

We are the problem to our goddamn problems 

Shut up and just solve 'em 

{Outro (spoken)} 

We all have these voices in our head 

But regardless of their presence 

It's up to us to decide which ones to use 

Which ones to base our actions on 

And which ones define us 

It's not about the voices in your head 

It's about what you do with them
