Tems - Born In The Wild Album Lyrics

It's all over the news, all over the news, I noticed
Under the sun, struggling to find my focus
When I was young, young and dumb
I was always running away

Up in the night, wishing somebody knew me
Something inside plaguing my mind confused
I didn't know why, didn't know why I could choose

Born in the wild, born in the wild
Born in the wild, born in the wild
I grew up in the wilderness
Didn't know much about openness

Born in the wild, born in the wild
Born in wild, born in the wild
I was born in the wild, grew up in the wild, yeah
You gave me my world

And the world, the world is mine, the world is mine
The world, the world is mine
And the time, the time is now, the time is now
The time is now

For so long, I was silent
Oh you given more than I imagined
Oh you taking on
All of my issues, all of my issues
All of my issues

For so long, I've been silent
Oh you given more than I imagined
Oh you gave me a new definition
No inhibitions
No more conditions

Born in the wild, born in the wild
Born in the wild, born in the wild
Born in the wild, born in the wild

But tell her that she cannot be doubtful now, that ah-
Are you sure I'm not supposed to be going this route?
So they were holding you up like, Temi keep walking, Temi keep walking
No, no, you have to, so even when you stumbled, they pick you up again
They didn't allow you to actually fall down for any reason (hmm)
So, my dear, you can see now
While you're stumbling a bit, and you're like having some little doubt
And you keep on asking, why Temi now? Why Tems?
Don't they have another person again
And they themselves don't know why
They can't understand it se
So to them it's like
I just don't get it, so why her?
She doesn't even have a full album, and so, and so
Ehn, and she only came out how many years ago?
Is that the criteria?
So they are-
Some of them are just perplexed
Some of them are angry
Some of them are like odd (wow)

It was all a dream
Just a new girl on the scene
Got your face on magazines
How it feel? It's killing me
But do you care to see?
Plenty fire in my eyes
Just the way I like to be
Will I stay, will I leave?

I could figure out myself
When I'm distant in my world
I could hold on to the past
And be absolutely mad
But I let go of my sins
Just searchin' for my wings
If you know where I'll find it
I would take a limousine

Guess we're all burnin'
Burnin' and burnin'
Burnin'
Burnin' and burnin'
Burnin'
Burnin' and burnin'
Burnin'
Burnin' and burnin'

Don't you rush into these games
These games will kill you
Don't let them decide
Sweet words are not truth
Real love isn't blind
And you can bet on it?
Yeah, you can bet on it
Guess we're all

Burnin'
Burnin' and burnin'
Burnin'
Burnin' and burnin'
Burnin' (oh)
Burnin' and burnin'
Burnin'
Burnin' and burnin'

Burnin', burnin'
Burnin', burnin'
Burnin', burnin'
Burnin',

I'm gonna be the one, I'ma testify
I'm gonna tell the truth
When the time is right
When the light is gone, when the light is gone
I believe in me
I believe it, I believe it

Yeah I'm the one got the scene banging
And I go hard that's why they keep talking, yeah
3 years and I'm only just getting started
One song and I got the people excited

I'm ready for something different
Cleansing my system
Tonight

Thought it was the final
But it's the arrival
Coming out the gate, with the wave
It's a tidal
Feel like a revival
Coming from inside of me

I must be holding something strong
For me to know I can carry on, oh yeah yeah
Something strong
I'll carry on
Something strong

Ready to go
With the light in my soul
I'm letting it show, darling
I won't hide anymore

Yeah I'm ready for game and I'm bound to win
You know they wanting more when they speak on me
I focus on me, I got it in me
No fear in my mind, it's a new story
And now I move differently
I'm moving quickly
I don't care anymore, and I'm giving it my all
Do it like I never did before
Put in a song like

Ready to go
With the light in my soul
I'm letting it show, darling
I won't hide anymore

All grass does is grow, don't you think so?
Don't you think so?
So why would you stop?
Why would you stop?
Don't you think so?

My mind was somewhere else
I was stuck between myself
I won't waste my time again, yeah
I was somewhere else babe
I'm never going back
This is the gate?

Yeah, yeah

I'm makin' moves, see, you see, yeah
They all wanna do this, do this, yeah
Everybody is lookin', lookin'
They all wonder what I'm doin', doin'
Oh, they see spy my mind, mind, mind
Even when I'm on the line, line, line
Coming ready with my guns and bullets
'Cause your body is gonna shake, shake, shake

Put me on display
Fully on display
I'm doin' it all night, all day
You know, you know
I, I can make it rain on you
Like to play that game with you
I can make it rain for you

Yeah, said, that's why, that's why I need a gangsta
That's why, that's why I need a bad one
That's why, that's why I need violence
That's why, that's why
Move in silence, we on fire
One and your only desire
If you wanna rock, you can stick by me
Don't nobody else do this shit like me

Oh, why, oh why, oh why
You tryna take my, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lights?
You don't think, think-think-think, think
That I ever gonna rea-rea-rea-realize
Sure you did, on another wave
Going all the way
Got it all and I got it like everyday
Got my music on a replay, replay
'Cause I keep it real, yeah

Yeah, said, that's why, that's why I need a gangsta
That's why, that's why I need a bad one
That's why, that's why I need violence
That's why, that's why
Move in silence, we on fire
One and your only desire
If you wanna rock, you can stick by me
Don't nobody else do this shit like me

Oh, why, oh why, oh why
You tryna take me la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lights?
When I think, think-think-think, think
I never woulda realize

Guess your coming back again
With your dirty dirty plans
Oh you always make it deep
No girl ever made it back

Anything you wanna say
Might as well be thrown away
Guess it's time to make your way, way

Oh it's a shark in the water
Swimming across the sea
But in the words of my mother
I'm living in victory

And maybe it's fortunate, you're unfortunate
Yeah maybe it's fortunate, you're unfortunate
And maybe I'm fortunate that you're losing me
I'm so fortunate that you misbehave
I'm so fortunate that you don't know a thing, yay

Too young to be worrying bout too many things
When my spirit and my mind are being tainted baby
All the things that you really wanted out of me
You took it all now
I'm saving me

Cause you were late that night and I waited boy
I waited patiently
I'm not patient
What is a relationship no foundation
It's termination no hesitation

And I said
Ooh I'm dipped in gold
I don't even know you, know you, know you, not me
Ooh I'm moving on, if you think knew me
I think I've decided

That maybe it's fortunate, you're unfortunate
Yeah maybe it's fortunate, you're unfortunate
And maybe I'm fortunate that you losing me
I'm so fortunate that you misbehave
I'm so fortunate that you don't know a thing, ay

Fortunate (or maybe it is)
Fortunate (or maybe it is)
Fortunate (or maybe it is)

(Fortunate)

Oh no, oh no, mm
Oh, oh, mm

You're a pain in my brain
I might stay up a little longer
You're killin' me, babe, I'm not playin'
You don dey do rubbish, you always do
I wonder how I loved a thing like you
'Cause I'm not really for you
No, I'm not really for you
You raise my blood pressure
My headaches, my chest aches
My heart breaks

Oh, boy, oh, boy
Oh, boy, oh, boy
Oh, boy, oh, boy
Oh, you
Oh, boy, oh, boy
Oh, boy, oh, boy
Oh, boy, oh, boy

Sometimes I want to strangle you
But I have to sit and look
I just have to look at you
Sometimes I wanna choke you out
And maybe even brush you up
I just have to sit and look
Sit and look at you
Hold me in your mind
This is the last time we will see
Hold me in your mind
There's nothing left of you in me
Hold me in your mind
Before I leave you on the streets
Hold me in your mind

Oh, boy, oh, boy
Oh, boy, oh, boy
Oh, boy, oh, boy
Oh, you
Oh, boy, oh, boy
Oh, boy, oh, boy
Oh, boy, oh, boy

I'm a hot stepper
Storming through the weather, weather
High pressure (pressure)
Moving like a dancer, dancer, challenger
And still I do it better
The feeling is forever

And everytime I'm up to something new
Got you feeling black and blue
Got you checking for the news
Breaking loose
Now you want to take it out on me
Don't you want to set me free, don't you want to let me breathe

It's the desperation for me
From you
Oh baby
You know it's the desperation, for me
For me darling

I want the secret, to your loving
Covered in diamonds in your passion
I love the way you, looking at me
Baby I want, want you begging

It's the desperation, for me
From you
Oh baby
You know it's the desperation for me
For me darling

(It's the desperation)

I got it, you want it
I could be your
I got it, you want it
I won't stay down
I got it, you want it, could be yours
I got it, and you want it, I can't stay

I'm not waiting for you ooh ooh ooh (I can't stay)
I'm not waiting for you ooh ooh ooh (I can't stay)
I'm not waiting for you ooh ooh ooh (I can't stay)
I'm not waiting for you ooh ooh ooh (I can't stay)

Let me breathe
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
Let me breathe

I'm no angel
I have fallen too deep
And you watched me
Then you fell in with me
I felt beautiful
You were beautiful too
Like an angel

Hopeless in the moment
I free fall straight into you
I don't know if I could fight
What you do in my mind
More and more, I collide
With you

It's obvious you don't know what you're doing
With me
How you do me wrong then call my name? My name
Too late for you, babe
I don't think I can let you in
I'm not open, not anymore

I can tell we don't belong
I would rather be alone
I had to run
I had enough
Ugh
I was the one
Who had to run
I had enough

Toxic, who would have thought what's coming was a plot twist?
Soon as you let me in, you start hunting for the locksmith
Now the key I once had to your heart does not fit
I got three choices, batter your door or lock-pick
Or walk away confused at your logic
Back in my crib, cleaning your clothes and your shoes out the closet
Thinking to myself, "We supposed to be in pools by the tropics
Soaking up the views but you choose to blow it up"
Know you ain't used to going dutch, so you refuse to see the truth
About who was out of pocket, it's all on me, huh?
F*ck it, take my credit card, let's ball out seaside
Devotion like the ocean, how it start out knee-high
And gets deeper and deeper till we are
Drowning in each others arms but the water's calm
How did we forget the calm was before the storm 'cause you said?

It's obvious you don't know what you're doing
With me
How you do me wrong then call my name? My name
Too late for you, babe
I don't think I can let you in
I'm not open, not anymore

I can tell we don't belong
I would rather be alone
I had to run
I had enough
Ugh
I was the one
Who had to run
I had enough

Experiences shape you
They have nothing to do with anybody else
Bare situation, let's put all this things together
Jumble it up in a pot and let it cook for like two years
And then what comes out at the end of that is what we're putting out
You know only responsibility is to say truth right? (Hmm)
Like subjective truth, and it is one of the reasons why music is mundane
You don't hear subjective truth, you hear objective lies
They ask you to do, there's a purpose to you doing it
And the purpose is that, the people that are out there demoralised
But also want the good in the world to win
Have to see examples of the good in the world
Because, guess what?
All we see everyday are examples of the other side, examples of the evil
Seeing the situation as it is, and choosing compassion over vengeance
If this is what success means in this world right
Then I don't really want this type of success
Conclude with love
That's the world we live in, where everything is amost turned upside down
You decide you're acting in tears, yes, do it crying
As long as you're doing it
Do it crying
But f*cking do it
Because that is actually what it means to live

I said, turn me up
You know I could be inside
But I just wanna take you for a ride
Hide
Hide

I said fall back
It's a big shot, it's a big shot, fall back
It's a rim shot, need a big stack, fall back
It's a big back, causing big shock, fall back
It's a head shot
A celebration
Liberation for the nation
Conversation but in moderation
Need some patience, need some patience

No peace for the generations
They have us living in hallucinations
Don't wanna put us in the right direction
Don't wanna give us all the right affections
Maybe I should love you
But I really don't want to
What you do with that depends on you
'Cause I'm only here to inform you

I said, turn me up
You know I could be inside
But I just wanna take you for a ride
Hide
Hide

Me I fit tell you to your face, face maximum grace, na
It's a time for revelation
You say you love me but you love with hesitation
You cannot win me on a lower vibration
You need some customization, I got authorization
Open your eyes, I'm a ten, not a nine, number one, not a two, not a three

Fine girl, no issue
I don't need to diss you
Whatever you're saying, I beg you continue
If you don't believe, then I really do not rate you
Bye-bye, I do not, I do not need you
How many wars, how many wars I did
How many come around dare to it like this
A baby girl wey dey chop the beat like this

I said, turn me up
You know I could be inside
But I just wanna take you for a ride
Hide
Hide

Turn me up
Back then when it wasn't looking fun
Back then when it wasn't looking good
No one could ever steal my juice
I'll put you in my mouth and chew
Next time if you wanna chat to me
Trust, I'll show you your destiny
Think twice if you wanna mess with me

I said, turn me up
You know I could be inside
But I just want to take you for a ride
Hide
Hide

Hide

You
You
Yeah
This is my decision, decision
This is my decision
I don't think you listen, you listen
I don't think you listen

For me to come out
It must mean I'm at the door
It must mean I'm not the same
It must mean I'm on your case

For me to come out
It means that I'm at the door
I want to show you my world

Give me one break, I need faith
Faith to believe you
Faith to receive you

Give me something I'm lacking
I don't need nothing
You are my everything

Only me and you
Only me and you
Only me and you
Only me and you
Only me, only you
Only me and you
Only me and you
Only me and you
Only me, only you

Make me your matter
Make me your matter
Make me your matter

Show me your substance
Make me your person
Make me your person

Give me one break, I need faith
Faith to believe you
Faith to receive you

Give me something I'm lacking
I don't need nothing
You are my everything

Only me and you
Only me and you
Only me and you
Only me and you
Only me, only you
Only me and you
Only me and you
Only me and you
Only me and you

All I want, only me and you

Startin' my own game

Throw it up, got the money up
Got a new set, time to shut 'em up
Got my younger self, ready for the war
Take it to the candy shop, she know she got it all
Oh, yeah, she runnin', she know that she got it
She lived a rough life, now she gotta her own field
Ain't nothin' new, before the nova tryna figure me out
It's an energy, you are not a better me
You can't be serious, you is hilarious
Is it my energy? Can't find a better me
You not my enemy, so pick your energy
You are delirious, baby, seriously
If you really that wild you comin' at me, eh, huh
It's like that, that's where you at, that's why you mad
You tryna hate me, but you love me inside
Loose screws, will always be lost in it
I'm gonna pray that you finally find it
But it is what is it
Steal my shit, you gon' miss, huh
Don't let me hate you, don't let me hate you
(Don't let, don't let me hate you)
No, I don't hate you, 'cause I precede you
(You are know that I don't feed you)
Don't let me stop you, just keep on laughin', yeah
(I know you'll keep on laughin')
I know I already won, won (that's right)
I never gave it for a thought
Livin' beyond this world
Only comin' down for my own
I see for what it's worth
Never surrender, never afraid
'Cause I know I was born this way
Throw your hands up, let me hear you say
"Victory until the death of me", yeah

Go away, go away
Go away, go away

Oh
You in my face
You in my face
Oh
You in my face
You in my face
You in my face

Girl in the mirror walking in my skin
You remembered me
It's a night of inspiring things
How does it feel to you?

Hold on to the end of the night
It's too real for me
You with my eyes
How could I forget
You always took me back
You never left
You in my face
How could I forget?
It's you!

Oh
You in my face
You in my face
Oh
You in my face
You in my face
You in my face

We will go beyond impossible
They might not see it now
Love will conquer every storm
Every storm
We will go beyond impossible
When the darkness comes before me
Love will conquer every storm

Oh
You in my face
You in my face
Oh
You in my face
You in my face
You in my face

When are you coming again
My heart
My heart
When are you coming again
My heart
My heart

I was one of the millions
Making anxious decisions
Looking for a remedy
Couldn't find a solution

I was one of the people
Looking for every signal
Tryna find a memory
Of a time it was peaceful

Some people hate
Some people lie
Some people love to see a grown man cry
I made mistakes, in like a million ways
All that I did, I didn't waste my time
Cause I know I never trade my life
Maybe you laugh, but in your room you cry
All from a distance, love is missing
Fighting for a chance, I said

Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

This is for the girl in the dark
This is for the one tryna make it right
This is for the one waiting for the sunrise
This is for the one with a voice inside
Don't need to run
When you can breakthrough
Knowing that I'm covered in all I do
Won't be influenced by the things I see
Always look ahead never behind me

I said hold on, you better hold on
It's gonna find you, it's gonna find you
It feels right now, ready to fight now
I'm moving in now, I'm breathing out now

I'm releasing, this inner vision
I got advantage
No need to panic

You need reminding
Let me remind you
You're gonna find it, it's gonna find you

Hold on (hold on, hold on)
Hold on (hold on, hold on)
Hold on (hold on, hold on)
Hold on (hold on, hold on)

It's the one in you
The one is calling you
It's the one in you
The one is calling you
It's the one in you
The one is calling you
It's the one in you
The one is calling you
