“Be Your Lady” is the final song on Young Fathers' fourth album Heavy Heavy. The song switches between a piano melody to a Death Grips-inspired chorus. The song, as described by Kayus Bankole, is “the perfect loop back to the first track.”
[Verse 1]
Don't need to follow advice, I won't read what you write
I won't need you tonight
Want me to turn water to wine? I'm so hollow inside when you push in the knife
[Verse 2]
Show me your road tonight
I won't move when you fight
I'm the loser you like
Don't need to wallow in pride
I won't be outta line, I won't be outta line
[Chorus]
Hey, you
Shaking up the bag
I wanna be your lady
Forgetting I'm the man

[Post-Chorus]

To how they wanted things, wanted things
Ooh, another day, another day, baby
Ooh, your better man's bad again
[Chorus]
Ooh, hey, you
Coming fast
Shaking off the bad
I can be your lady
Forgetting I'm the man
Old flames coming back
Now that is slightly shady
All I have is crazy
All I have is mad
[Outro]
Can I take ten pounds worth of loving out the bank, please?
Can I take ten pounds worth of loving out of the bank, please?
Can I take ten pounds worth of loving out the bank, please?
Can I take ten pounds worth of loving out of the bank, please?
Can I take ten pounds worth of loving out the bank, please?
Can I take ten pounds worth of loving out of the bank, please?

Kayus Bankole:
It’s the perfect loop back to the first track so you could stay in the loop of the album for decades, centuries and millenniums and just bask in these intricate parts. ‘Be Your Lady’ is a nice wave goodbye, but it’s also radical as fuck. That last line ‘Can I take 10 pounds’ worth of...
