ZARAH SULTANA Lyrics

To all my ethnic women of colour

Trust, you're a stunner

Especially when the skin glows there in the summer

But I still tell my bruddas dem take time

Not every wife you can bring to the mother

Got every man after the bad Bs

Me I still pree for the bookstore lover

Cah you want a girl like RiRi

I want a girl like Zarah Sultana

Yeah, one for the labour

Likkle bit of nerd flare there for the flavour

And if you don't read text on the paper

It's an ex ting like my name Xavier

Got my friends doing english-lit sending man voicenotes about colonisation

And I'm there like "yeah man it's lit" I love learning new things when I'm in conversation

But, that's a different vibration

If the vibe vacant, tell her don't force it

If it ain't anime or Jeremy Corbyn

Tell 'em that the call there's nothing important

Chilling in shoreditch, cardiac tough cah the price of the slush there suttin' appalling

Feeling extorted, hoodwinked

it's a good thing that a man was ballin

But I still got my eye on the NOCTA puffer same colour as Jimmy From the Jailhouse

Royalties i get paid out, spud the Gs and then bail out

yeah, showed her unreleased I'm her fave now

Redundant G's say i've changed, saying I've changed now

But that's cap, still the same old me that was making figurines out of lego from Gundam

Just cause I glowed up clean, now they figured that I move prestige, what a silly assumption

Ever since emerald green, I been repping for the nerds and the neeks and it's never reluctant

PvP or the RPG man will EXP glitch that dungeon

Wait, I been on the grind like a hundred days

Trynna switch flows like a hundred ways

Trynna turn blackness to something great

While these podcast niggas in the sunken place

I just show love on my sleeve it's bait

But when that love come back around it's great

It's great, that's why I always got love for my dargs

Like my G there in a hijab getting married in July

She said "Wale please could you hop on a flight"

I just said "God's grace", she said 'insha'Allah"

Mum always told me life was a par

Cah when you get older, life's on a path

That might separate you from the OGs

You gotta plan meet-ups months in advance

And I was like "rah"

Cah I still got my eye on that NOCTA puffer same colour as Jimmy From the Jailhouse

Royalties I get paid out, spud the Gs and then bail-out

Yeah, I showed her unreleased I'm her fave now

Redundant Gs saying I've changed, saying I've changed now

Look, spud the Gs and then bail out

Showed her unreleased I'm her fave now

Redundant Gs say I've changed, saying I've changed now

But back to my women of colour

Said you're a stunner, especially in summer

But I still tell my bruddas dem take time, not every wife you can bring to the mother

Got every man after the bad Bs, me I still pree for the bookstore lover

Cah you want a girl like RiRi, I want a girl like Michelle Obama
