Not Today Mate

Please don't patronise me

Because I lay my heart upon my sleeve

Truth be told, I met a few types like these

Clear as day, you don't got your way

Put in hours, hours gonna work on myself

So please approach with caution when your ego sways

Still on the man but not about to give in

Need to learn, learn my limits

You don't do me right

Stuck somewhere in your ego

Too far to feel alive

At my expense you regrow

Bad feeling when you're close to me

Like you're bringing down my energy

Please let me go and be

Forgiving's what you want

But it don't come for free, no

Forgiveness comes with the space to let me be, yeah

And I don't think you ever met a type like me

Clear as day, you don't got your way

I'll never be a puppet on your strings

Won't fit in tomorrow's your real day

From a long, long line of strong women, so show respect

'Bout where I've been

You don't do me right

Stuck somewhere in your ego

Too far to feel alive

At my expense you regrow

Bad feeling when you're close to me

Like you're throwin' down my energy

You have to go and leave

Everytime I think you change you come and show

The notalgia's wearing thin and now I know

The rules have changed I'm taking some control

No more energy expelled, you got to go

You don't do me right

Stuck somewhere in your ego

Too far to feel alive

At my expense you regrow

Bad feeling when you're close to me

Like you're drawin' down my energy

You have to go and leave
