zinni the queen - elementary lyrics

[intro]
this is: zinni the queen
this, this the+
this the+

[verse 1]
this is a story about childhood crushes
growing slow and how not to rush it
ima tell you how i turned
adolescence into adult lessons
back when i was a baker’s dozen

i’m studying:
magazines, books, peer discussions
facetime story times with cousins
i’m wondering
does anybody know how to make things work?
now i’m searching on my phone “how to flirt
when you’re shy but you’re cool
and you’re fly and at school, there’s this guy
who everybody likes, but he really is your type”
and you don’t wanna be left behind
true love these days is hard to find
still, you don’t wanna be the one to say things first
everyone pretending we know how to make things work
[chorus]
123, it could all be so simple
123, hey, hey, hey, hey
123, take your time, just a little
123, to understand the plan

[verse 2]
do the pieces paint a picture you can post online?
do the opinions of your homies really shape your life?
are we trying to recreate the life we watch on screen?
cause it seems
i spent my teens trying out for the lead

see, there are cycles
i circled
so often i clocked that
i was the common diameter
and the one, i didn’t get much time with her
i learned my love has a limit and parameters (love has a limit)

mixed signals morph into missed opportunity
desirability is punitory—
the story is
told from the perspective of the one avoiding scrutiny
and minding your business won’t grant immunity
(and to the counterfeits)
stay there with that garbage
we don’t do that here
hebrews 10:39
we don’t move by fear
since the serpent y’all using your tongues to deceive
but i’m the eve with the ax, cut the serpent and the tree

we can’t be meant to be
until we are to begin with
you the potiphar i’m never going to sin with, asking
(who zin with?)
frankly, that will never be your business
invest time in your prayer life and your fitness

these dudes stay tryna holler, but i tell em get your game up
or sit here in the lobby, wait until we call your name up (laughs)
you can’t stand next to a bad bih
you’d look bad next to a bad bih
you two be looking like an episode of catfish
she looking sn+tched and you just looking average

the counterfeits not fitting
i think i might give him a chance++ just kidding! (just kidding)
(just, just)
(let me ask you this)
are you mad about my standards
or mad you can’t reach them?
you act like i’m the last woman on earth and you’re feening
you should breath man, and do some inner healing
there are other fish, you just gotta pick em from the beach then
and make sure you can really keep them
stop complaining bout the ones that’s in the deep end

[chorus]
123 (this should be elementary at this point)
it could all be so simple
you should breathe man, do some inner healing
123 take your time your time, just a little
to understand the plan

[verse 3]
okay, it started in umbilo
back when i was zero
our aunties were besties back when aunt v was my hero
training for the marathons together on the d+low
i saw glorious pretoria when i was 1+0
back there 9 years after
to support, they told me tho
my aunt tore a muscle they can’t stitch like lilo
after i returned, things all took a turn
didn’t meet in the garden but we met in the gazebo
tried to sneak tho, tried to take a peeko
a kim possible entry but they stopped me like shego
and then you shoot your shot like a free throw
and then you say your name is— hey!

baby you look good, you look handsome
even in the selfies on your samsung
everybody look good on an iphone
i’m glad i got your number up in my– hey

baby you look good you look handsome
even in the selfies that you taking on your samsung
make me wanna do the most and then some
just to try and capture your atten–
you’re a ten
you’re a ten
your attention

now i got you deeper than the dms
i could be your bm
wondering when next i’m gonna see him
that would have to be after the marriage
good thing i already met the parents

friend, do i look cute or look crazy?
trying to keep it classy like a lady
in a pink mercedes
does he like me back? well, that’s a maybe
now he got me picking all these petals off of daisies

(he loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me, he loves me, he loves me)
