"Submission" lyrics

[Kelela:]
Don't try to hide away
You know you've been on
Though I'm keeping calm, I'm not on
Go away, my love
Thought I could change our fate
I tried again, but this delay
It's more than I can take

And it got to me
When you state your love
And you walk away
What could you be on?
Now you're not around
But I hope you see
I will be full-on
If it's up to me
It's all I got

Feels so good doing me
If you take a look at the time you took and move on
But don't go too far, my lover
We could try harder, baby
There's gotta be a better way
So much that we could make it

And it got to me
When you state your love
But you run away
What could you be on?
Now you're not around
But I hope you see
Gotta be full-on
It is up to me
It's all I got

It's all I got
It's all I got
It's all I got
It's all I got
It's all I—

[Danny Brown:]
Wish I could think of better ways (Style)
'Cause I lost my patience yesterday (Style)
If you could see inside of me (Yeah)
There'd be no heart on my X-ray (Yeah)
Opponents tryna checkmate (Yeah)
But I don't see no escape (Yeah)
Just tryna keep my head straight (Yeah)
On thin ice with the ice skates
At times, I feel like givin' up
'Cause it feels like I've had enough
Felt like my soul in handcuffs
Got questions with no answers
Can't help me out, I need a friend
I'm losin' faith in this world of sin
Tryna make ends meet with a week, no sleep
It's like a cycle that never ends
I can't contend with no handlin' (Style)
I can't take care of no grown man (Style)
All by myself, cryin' for help
But won't get saved by no Superman (Yeah)
All comes down to the mighty dollar
Greed and lust, abusin' power (Style)
Clock is tickin', hour after hour
Makes me wanna throw my hands and holler (Style)

[Kelela:]
And you got to me
When you state your love
But you run away
What could you be on?
Now you're not around
But I hope you see
Gotta be full-on
It is up to me
