System Baby Lyrics

Yeah

Know you ain't seen me for a long, long time

Don't know where I been

And it's been on your mind

Dem boy you ain't feeling

And you don't know why

Looking for the me in them

Don't know what you see in them

She said: don't you leave again, you're always on the go

I'm a system baby so that's all I've ever known

Unofficial baby so that's all you need to know

Thought you was the one

But nah, you always do the most

Look

Take a look in my eyes

Like what do you find

Dark and light, two different sides

Both still one of a kind

One too rude, one too nice

Both just products of time

One want a eater, one want a wife

Both too stuck on the grind

Aye, aye

You know I came from the worst generation

We all tryna get first to the paper

Some fly, others get birded and caged up

Some die and they get turned into angels

And the rest die a long way before the grave

Cuh they turned fiend and they faded away

Or they gave up their dream

And then wake up a slave

Soon as I find love I chase it away

It's like I don't know who I am

Used to be that kid with the short fuse

Talk to me mad and you're holding a bang

Roll with the punches

Roll with the gang

Cards to my chest, I ain't showing my hand

Know I get love on the roads

But who's waiting for me at home when I land

I know that I'm antisocial, I can be

Working late cuh I don't have a plan B

Know that I barely made time for you girl

But I always picked up the phone when you rang me

But now I gotta go it's late

And I'm overdue what I'm owed by fate

No, I weren't born with a silver spoon

But promise I'll die with a golden plate

I'm gone

Know you ain't seen me for a long, long time

Don't know where I been

And it's been on your mind

Dem boy you ain't feeling

And you don't know why

Looking for the me in them

Don't know what you see in them

She said: don't you leave again, you're always on the go

I'm a system baby so that's all I've ever known

Unofficial baby so that's all you need to know

Thought you was the one

But nah, you always do the most
