Testo di 'Vultures' di Dawn Richard

Queens is like frontline, because, like, we used to be in the back, okay
I think we play a big, big role in gangs, that... I think gangs never realize
What position that a Queen could play, okay
Until we started having our own voice

I wish, I wish, I wish
I could be what you want me to
I could love you like I'm s'posed to do
Fuck you like you like you need me to
I know that what you hopin', boo
I wish, I wish, I wish
I could be the girl of your dreams
The one you fantasize about
The one you tell your parents 'bout
You take me and your niggas out

But I keep getting in my own way
And I know that I'm fucking up but I'm really hoping to stay
I'm willing to stay, baby
And I keep giving my demons away
But please believe me that ain't me
It ain't me

It's my vultures
Ooh baby, it's my vultures
They keep on circling me
Circling me

I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish I didn't love alone a lot
I know you like me in your spot
But I need room to roam about
That's fucking with your future plots
You see but I know, I know, I know
I'm never gon' be home to you
I'm never gon' be home by 2
I'll never be this perfect glue
That pulls together what you choose

But I keep getting in my own way
And I know that I'm fucking up but I'm really hoping to stay
Willing to stay, baby
And I keep giving my demons away
But please believe me that ain't me
It ain't me

It's these vultures
Ooh baby, these vultures
Keep on circling me
Circling me

It's cool, it's cool, I'm not mad at you
If you choose to lose your faith in us too
I'll be okay (Okay), I know you like shit your way (Your way)
It's killing me because I won't be this cliche idea of happy
Know I'll be okay, you know I like shit my way

'Cause I keep getting in my own way
And I know that I'm fucking up but I'm really hoping to stay
Willing to stay, baby
And I'll keep giving my demons away
But please believe me that ain't me
It ain't me

Baby, it's these vultures
Baby, it's my vultures
They keep on circling me

I'll never be the same after I've been treated like the dirt you left on my hands
The dirt I had to dig through to sell your records, to make your money, to build your name
I hear the wolves dressed in suits
Selling dreams like bait in dress shoes
Can you hear them?

They show their teeth like white pearls coated with meat
From all the girls they'd like to eat
I prayed I wouldn't see these wolves haunting me
They're running fast, see their feet
Those packs of wolfs with suits and deeds
Tempting the girls with pretty things
To share them piece by piece

Can't you hear?
Can't you hear them howling?
Can't you hear?
Can't you hear them howling?
Hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, can't you hear?
Can't you hear them howling?
Oh, whoa
