Текст песни Tempo - Shayla Hamady

Setting my tempo
Know that it's right
Checking my pulse
A glimpse of the light
Keeping my eye on the money cause I keep on losing my focus
I'm losing my sight
They keep on talking I know you can hear em
Be a real one and stick up for a woman
Friendships be rising and so are my digits
I'm independent don't you ever forget it

I'm making moves like a chess game
I have been lied to I've been played
Still I'm NF'in no name
Writing these songs so ahead of the time frame
I was so worried about them
When they should be worried bout me
Like Ariana once you're hearing my music
You'll believe God is woman
Saying

You can sit down I know you think It's a game
But I only have one life I won't waste away

So Don't you try to play with me when you know I wanna talk
Not about digits but quality songs
If you go and put my name on the album don't matter your followings small
Work our way up and sometimes we will fall
Need the support of a person that's all
I got the people around me but something ain't right
I've been chilling with them
Where they go when I fight

You can sit down I know you think It's a game
But I only have one life I won't waste away

I could tell you all the things that I've seen
From an artist whose tricking their fans into schemes
To an artist whose passion is not what it seems
No more humbleness I need this ego to bleed

I've been flipping opinions
They're mad cause I did this
I'm turning your project to something worth listening
Envision the stage I walk up to the mic
Whole crowd is singing the rest of the night
Patience left inside of me is dissipating
Check the clock like 40 times in case I missed something
I stay up all night and wonder why I get no sleep
I'll complain about it later blame it on work things

They leave me on silent
I'm done being silenced
Whether the front of me isn't as thin as you like it
The back of me isn't the widest
Climb in my music and ride it
Writing these lyrics and vibing
Sick of the constantly crying
World owes me nothing so I'll give it something to show that I'm full of surprises

You can sit down I know you think It's a game
But I only have one life I won't waste away
