The Code Lyrics by Little Simz

Lotus

[Lyrics from Live Performance at Glastonbury Festival]

Number one, don't stray off the mission
Wake up go get it everyday
If I let the wrong chef in the kitchen won't be no food on the plate
Number two, don't take it personal
There's always a [?] where you [?]
Don't get caught in your own trap
Every big dog has a bad day
Number three, take care of yourself
Be vigilant, mind who you help
You're there tryna bring 'em to heaven and they tryna drag you to hell
Number four, don't react to a fool
Nobody knows who's who
Never eat with the hyenas 'cause they will look at you as food
Number five, keep the business away from the family, entitlement is a sickness
It's meant to be you and then God and the secrets protecting the family business
Six, don't quit
Keep building it brick by brick
Takes a million to [?] to prison, a million to get you a house in the [?]

Stiletto-letto-letto-letto
Still step in and out of the ghetto
Wanna know how you do it, how you get so
Bad with it when you serve that [?]
Heart caved in when the star came in
International ting, she bad, so
Old school like retro
Two words mami you [?], let's go
How you so fly, depending on low-ride
Understand when she say she the best
Stiletto-letto-letto-letto
She's an international ting
State to state, roll deep with the homies
She's not messing with you phonies, oh please
Still ghetto-ghetto-ghetto-ghetto
Still [?] to the vessel
Through the roof and you not on my level
Still I own the [?] I'm special
One-of-one, original mink
International ting, presidential
High tea in the morning, ain't no
Rasta you see when the money keep calling
I been out soarin'
You can move the goal post, I still won't stop scoring
Stiletto-letto-letto-letto
She's an international ting
If you ever see a woman in her own league
Just know she a walking trophy

Still we know, we know-know who we are
Elegant but superstar
Hand over our ears like la-la-la, la-la-la-la
We know, we know-know who we are
Elegant but superstar
Hand over our ears like la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Number one, don't stray off the mission
Wake up go get it everyday
If I let the wrong chef in the kitchen won't be no food on the plate
Number two, don't take it personal
There's always a [?] where you [?]
Don't get caught in your own trap
Every big dog has a bad day
Number three, take care of yourself
Be vigilant, mind who you help
You're there tryna bring 'em to heaven and they tryna drag you to hell
Number four, don't react to a fool
Nobody knows who's who
Never eat with the hyenas 'cause they will look at you as food
Number five, keep the business away from the family, entitlement is a sickness
It's meant to be you and then God and the secrets protecting the family business
Six, don't quit
Keep building it brick by brick
Takes a million to [?] to prison, a million to get you a house in the [?]
