      THATS why she is underrated.. but we better should stop give too much attention to any charts and compare the artists in there, with artists who give music a touch of poetry. Mainstream is, what the INDUSTRY want, we give our focus to. In modern times, everyone of us got the power to SPREAD open minded music! So, its our own decision which kind of music, lyrics and message we really want to make famous. And we better should realize again wich power music has in the way of change the world. The 'Creater Of Society' are fearing this fact. That's why...

      leo Beems oh no i meant it in the nicest way possible. i absolutely love her and what i meant by that was that she makes and does music for the love of it. i mean yeah she would’ve also wanted to do it to get exposure and success but i’m talking in regards to her as an artist overall. she creates and makes music for the love of it and not to sound like someone else to be big and successful

They are looking in the camera, not provoking, not attacking, just simply being themselves who they truly are, in their beautiful diversity. Mixed families, nuclear families, big families, wlw, everybody doing their own thing, what they like, and standing together no matter what

It reinvigorates my soul because i get disheartened by the racism still present in modern day. 2 days ago now, i had a racist enounter but i am keeping my head held high - Black is Power!

      She's not underrated at all but do you want her to be a mass music artist like dua Lipa? No shade just curious. I personally don't like that much Jorja's music but I must admit her voice is astonishing, so I guess by the type of genre jorja sings it doesn't get like a mass artist do. But She's already very famous

    “If you can feel the pain then you know you’re alive”. I remember shouting in tears at a protest I was speaking at with such pain trying to get the message across that racism in the UK DOES exist, and we’re living in times where we’re still experiencing so much systemic and institutional injustice that has become so normalised its a joke. The visuals and lyrics behind this song hit hard, and I just want to thank you for constantly using your platform to highlight injustices that we face in the world. You’re a gem you know 🖤

    LYRICS:
    So go ahead and fix your crown
    Then watch it all burn in smoke, oh-oh
    Go ahead and stand your ground
    We're on the long road to freedom, no, no
    Too much time tryna figure out why
    Too much time to be patient
    All this time you be feeding us lies
    Ain't no truths in your statements
    Too much pain in these little white lies, you left here
    All this time tryna figure out how, we're still here
    I take pride in the things that we've done
    Side by side in the revolution
    Won't stay silent for things that I love
    'Cause we know them nuh care about us
    White men can't jump but at least they can run
    Broke these chains just to put our hands up
    They can never see the kingdom coming
    You wanna see us all amount to nothing, no
    I can see your face, see the light in your eyes
    I can see the change, feel the heat of the fire
    If you can feel the pain, then you know you're alive
    Both feet on the line
    By any means I will fight (For you, for you), oh, no
    By any means I will fight (For you, for you)
    By any means I will fight (For you, for you)
    By any means I will fight (For you, for you)
    I've spent too many days in my head now
    Did you think we would forget, how?
    Too many destinies, too many sentences, read now
    Read now, see all this pain in the headlines
    But I have cried for the last time
    But know what happens
    See you would be blind if it was just an eye for an eye
    And what if we changed the world?
    We rise from the flames the victor
    It's far from a perfect picture
    I know we're sinful but we are human
    Would you be grateful if you took my place?
    Say my name (Say my name)
    There is redemption in the steps we take
    Say, one life and I'm gonna use it (Oh)
    Innocent 'til I am proven (Oh, no)
    One last chance and you blew it (Oh)
    One last dance in the ruins (Oh)
    So much hate in your movements (Oh, no)
    Told me I couldn't prove it (No)
    One last prayer for the sinners (Ooh)
    You only learn what you witnessed (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
    I can see your face, see the light in your eyes
    I can see the change, feel the heat of the fire
    If you can feel the pain, then you know you're alive
    Both feet on the line
    By any means I will fight (For you, for you), oh, no
    By any means I will fight (For you, for you), no-oh
    By any means I will fight (For you, for you)
    Any means I will fight (For you, for you)
    I've spent too many days in my head now
    Did you think we would forget, how?
    Too many destinies, too many sentences, read now

    But I have cried for the last time
    But know what happens

    Intro
    Go ahead and fix your crown
    And watch it all burn in smoke
    Go ahead and stand your ground
    We’re on the long road to freedom
    Verse 1
    Too much time tryna figure out why
    Too much time to be patient
    All this time you been feeding us lies
    Ain’t no truth in your statements
    Too much pain in These little white lies
    You left here
    All this time tryna figure out how we’re still here
    I take pride in the things that we’ve done
    Side by side in the revolution
    Won’t stay silent for things that I love
    Cus we know Dem Na care about us
    White men can’t jump but at least they can run
    Broke these chains just to put our hands up
    They could never see the kingdom coming
    You wanna see us all amount to nothing
    Chorus
    I can see your face see the light in your eyes
    I can see the change
    Feel the heat of the fire
    If you can feel the pain then you know you’re alive
    Both feet on the line
    By any means I will fight
    for you for you
    Bridge
    I’ve spent too many days in my head now
    Did you think we would forget, how?
    Too many destinies too many sentences
    Read now
    Read now see all this pain in the headlines
    But I have cried for the last time
    But know what happens see
    You would be blind if it was just an eye for an eye
    And what if you change the world

    I know we sinful
    But we are human
    Would you be grateful if you took my place
    Say my name
    There is redemption
    In the steps we take
    Say
    1 life n I’m gna use it
    Innocent til I am proven
    1 last chance and you blew it
    1 last dance in the ruins
    So much hate in your movements

    1 last prayer for the sinners
    You only learn what you witnessed
    I can see your face see the light in your eyes
    I can see the change
    Feel the heat of the fire
    If you can feel the pain then you know you’re alive
    Both feet on the line
    By any means I will fight
    For you for you

    [Intro]
    (Oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
    So go ahead and fix your crown
    Then watch it all burn in smoke, oh, oh
    Go ahead and stand your ground
    We're on the long road to freedom, oh, no
    [Verse 1]
    Too much time tryna figure out why
    Too much time to be patient
    All this time you be feeding us lies
    Ain't no truth in your statements
    Too much pain in these little white lies
    You left here
    All this time tryna figure out how
    We still here
    I take pride in the things that we've done
    Side by side in the revolution
    Won't stay silent for things that I love
    'Cause we know dem nuh care about us
    White men can't jump but at least they can run
    Broke these chains just to put our hands up
    They can never see the kingdom coming
    You wanna see us all amount to nothing, no
    [Pre-Chorus]
    I can see your face, see the light in your eyes
    I can see the change, feel the heat of the fire
    If you can feel the pain, then you know you're alive
    Both feet on the line
    [Chorus]
    By any means, I will fight (For you, for you), oh, no
    By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)
    By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)
    By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)
    [Post-Chorus]
    I've spent too many days in my head now
    Did you think we would forget, how?
    Too many destinies, too many sentences
    Read now, read now
    See all this pain in the headlines
    But I have cried for the last time
    But know what happens, see
    You would be blind if it was just an eye for an eye
    [Verse 2]
    And what if we changed the world?
    We rise from the flames the victor
    It's far from a perfect picture
    I know we're sinful but we are human
    Would you be grateful if you took my place?
    Say my name (Say my name)
    There is redemption in the steps we take
    Say, one life and I'm gonna use it (Oh)
    Innocent 'til I am proven (Oh, no)
    One last chance and you blew it (Oh)
    One last dance in the ruins (Oh)
    So much hate in your movements (Oh, no)
    Told me I couldn't prove it (No)
    One last prayer for the sinners (Ooh)
    You only learn what you witness (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
    [Pre-Chorus]
    I can see your face, see the light in your eyes
    I can see the change, feel the heat of the fire
    If you can feel the pain, then you know you're alive
    Both feet on the line
    [Chorus]
    By any means, I will fight (For you, for you), oh, no
    By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)
    By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)
    By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)
    [Post-Chorus]
    I've spent too many days in my head now
    Did you think we would forget, how?
    Too many destinies, too many sentences
    Read now, read now
    See all this pain in the headlines
    But I have cried for the last time
    But know what happens, see
    You would be blind if it was just an eye for an eye
