I started writing “No Angel” when I was engaging in a lot of self destructive behavior to cope with stress and being queer. This is not a story of redemption, but of survival.
This song is dedicated to anyone who gets harassed in public for simply existing and who gets treated like you’re not human...
[Chorus:Wu Am I & Freddie]
People always tryna give me their opinion
It's all the same shit, don't pay attention
Saying that my soul is need of saving
No hope for redemption
Cuz I'm no angel nah (nah)
I'm no angel nah (nah)
Kill the voices in my head with all these xanny bars (xanny bars)
I'm no angel nah (nah)
I'm no angel nah (nah)
I found paradise in clouds of marijuana, nah nah nah nah
[Verse 1: Wu Am I]
I see the future like Raven
Starting fires in the mansion
All the smoke we inhaling
It's never blurring my vision
I had enough false accusations
My life is none of your business
Not your fucking congregation
Don’t let me run out of patience
You were never dedicated
You do not win any races
You should return to your basement
Your generation outdated
Don't you try to imitate this
You look like gentrification
Sidelines, keep your distance
They got on so many faces
[Chorus: Freddie]
People always tryna give me their opinion
It's all the same shit, don't pay attention
Saying that my soul is need of saving
No hope for redemption
Cuz I'm no angel nah (nah)
I'm no angel nah (nah)
Kill the voices in my head with all these xanny bars (xanny bars)
I'm no angel nah (nah)
I'm no angel nah (nah)
I found paradise in clouds of marijuana, nah nah nah nah
[Verse 2: Freddie]
I saw the future like Raven
Ain’t no future for the nation
Don’t fuck up my wavelength
Fucking niggas in a skank tank
Street rat like Aladdin
Black book on me Baeden
Now you fucking with a thickie and a baddie
Hit me up in a quickie with the addy
Now they jealous
Acting like they can’t help it
Really getting way too overzealous
The lifestyle of a faggot
Always being treated like a felon
Niggas acting like the feds
But I’m so Cheeseboard with the bread
And I’m so UC Berkeley with the head
And I’m so UC Berkeley taking meds
Ah damn, ah damn
[Chorus: Freddie]
People always tryna give me their opinion
It's all the same shit, don't pay attention
Saying that my soul is need of saving
No hope for redemption
Cuz I'm no angel nah (nah)
I'm no angel nah (nah)
Kill the voices in my head with all these xanny bars (xanny bars)
I'm no angel nah (nah)
I'm no angel nah (nah)
I found paradise in clouds of marijuana, nah nah nah nah
[Bridge: Wu Am I]
Can't live like this anymore
I can't live like this anymore
I'll have you shook to the core
Yeah, the core
Now I'm stronger than I ever was before
Now you the one who is knocking at my door
Didn't they tell you I rise from the dead?
You giving side eye while I look ahead
False prophets crying repent
King snakes just playing pretend
I am a sinner, far from a saint
But I'm making bread and you want a taste
[Chorus: Wu Am I & Freddie]
People always tryna give me their opinion
It's all the same shit, don't pay attention
Saying that my soul is need of saving
No hope for redemption
Cuz I'm no angel nah
I'm no angel nah
Kill the voices in my head with all these xanny bars
I'm no angel nah
I'm no angel nah
I found paradise in clouds of marijuana, nah nah nah nah
[Outro: Wu Am I & Freddie]
I'm no angel nah
I'm no angel nah
I'm no angel nah
I'm no angel
