    Lyrics
    Verse 1
    Girls don't always sing about boys
    What if I wanna talk about suffering,
    in the earth
    the ocean plastic happenings?
    Would anybody listen at all
    if i don't parade in a bra- only
    to get my point across
    I don't always think about boys
    but I hear love is the only thing worth fighting for
    as well as loving the same sex
    sanitary kits for homelessness
    Grenfell, mental health for all..
    Chorus
    We'll go to school and get married and start a family
    and they'll go to school and get married and start a family
    the cycle continues,
    when we don't question what we're into x2
    Verse 2
    Girl's don't always sing about boys
    even though it's what sells and what's relatable
    I mean, who doesn't wanna cry?
    To a song about getting your heart broke
    cos she'll sing all the words that you never spoke
    or couldn't
    I can't always think about boys
    Cos I've been reading about:
    air pollution, sustainable fashion,
    learnt behaviours, why it all happens
    so I guess, I'll raise the issues
    with a nice beat behind me
    singing it sweet so you'll still buy me
    as I rethink the norm like...
    Chorus x2

    I'm a minute 17 in, and I gotta be straight with you here: I love American soul music. Jill Scott, Erykah, and other older artists, to newer soul icons like Ari Lennox and SZA, Jhené Aiko, H.E.R or arguably Alina Baraz..... but COME ON man, the U.K. has RIDICULOUSLY talented soul artists, whether we mean Sade or Corinne Bailey Rae, NAO, Lianne la Havas, Denai Moore, Greentea Peng, and now this young lady. Like, all of them, every single one of them, can SING, and sing beautifully, with unique sounds and styles. You gotta give it to the English for producing some AWESOME neo-soul artists.
