Lyrics Raleigh Ritchie – Cuckoo

Text:

Raleigh Ritchie:
I do the devil’s work seven days a week
I’ll go to church, I’ll make my peace
I’m only young, I’ll be forgiven

What’s the point in fun if it’s not forbidden?

On the other hand I’m a prideful man
I don’t like not having a plan
I’m lazy, borderline crazy
Cuckoo, bananas maybe
I don’t give a damn

Who needs friends when you got drugs?
Who needs meds when you got love?
I don’t care
Cuz I got nothing left to do
I’ll get through
Though I’m…

Cuckoo, cuckoo
Cuckoo, cuckoo

Insecure, not made of iron
I’m messed up for sport, not self-reliant
Oh, you’re sad as fuck and I’m feeling lonely
I keep throwing up, I’m not feeling rosy

I fake relief when I’m blatently not all vacant
I’m on a trip
I’m lazy, borderline crazy
Cuckoo, bananas maybe
I’m sick of this shit

Who needs friends when you got drugs?
Who needs meds when you got love?
I don’t care

Cuz I got nothing left to do
I’ll get through
Though I’m…

Cuckoo, cuckoo
Cuckoo, cuckoo

Little Simz:
I been taking time to discover what’s underneath
I make the time move slower, it’s a new division
Take me to a planet, my mind’s never abandoned
Sketch up what just happened, now paint that shit on a canvas
I got too many thoughts, distorting words as I talk
I’m a superhuman for sure, you will recognize that the force
You feel me
Raleigh played it for me, I just couldn’t let it go
Hard as rock beneath the stone, this shit is just set in stone
Real truth, you will find hope in these verses
My verses is rodent killer for vermins, are you disturbed yet?
Space is all I know, you should know
Have you not learned yet?
Park my presence in your presence, I don’t need a permit
I don’t have the time for these rappers, they better fall back
If you’re gonna talk all that talk then you better walk that
Never thought that I would be a voice for a generation
Yeah an entire nation, but still who needs friends?
(Who the fuck needs ’em, man?)

Raleigh Ritchie:
Who needs friends when you got drugs?
Who needs meds when you got love?
I don’t care
Cuz I got nothing left to do
I’ll get through
Though I’m…

Cuckoo, cuckoo
Cuckoo, cuckoo
