The world is so much bigger than I.
Much love Simz one of the greatest in our time.
That chorus is something else boy...
SSX God 96 factual
The harmonics of The Hics make some beautiful eargasms.
So powerful.
Can’t believe she came to South Africa 🇿🇦 💪🏾💪🏾
im really feeling all these UK artists recently, i never realised i loved their accents so much. i hope the world wakes up from sleeping on little simz. loving her vibes, lyrics and sound.
cutekinoko I hope the world wakes up like how little simz is telling us to
You never disappoint. As a South African university student. I find this inspiring!
Long Live Little Simz! I stay being a growing fan!
Onthatile Mokoena it’s on record! Power to the people!
The music that will never sell... PROVING THEM WRONG. Yesssss Simz, you are not looking so little now.
The embodiment of what's felt on my chest when I listen to this song is how I know this is real music.
pure and authentic artist. it comes from the guts. goosebumps
You're blowing up now sis but I was here with you six years ago for this! And you're still not done!
Thank you. We love you big time in South Africa. Keep going queen.
as a south African myself I'm really happy they included actual footage of some of the marches
It all began in South Africa. Love this country to my veins. Big love to Site C Khaylitsha.
I feel it's so underrated !
It deserve 10 times the number of views
The Hics and the instrumental gave this song a whole new life.. Bless your life Sims.
Raw pure talent and a massive global awareness at such a young age. Little simz is definitely what this world needs. High pedigree
Finally music about real things. I love this song Simz
South Africa appreciates your visuals. The message must be heard. we love your music out here
still love u
Wow. Little Simz. One of the greatest rappers that ever lived. Thanks for showing love to South Africa. #FeesMustFall!!!!!!!!!
Frantz Fanon is a french writter from Martinique ! It's a pleasure for me to know that this amazing artist knows a great writter and thinker (not muc known) as him ! :)
Her music will sell millions, let Jesus make time for her development first cauz her talent just out of this world. People ain't ready yet !
I approve it , shes not like others she got a own style that others dont have for a female artist shes a rare perl! 👏🔥❤
You can say that again, peeps aren't ready
Think people taking notice with her grey area album
Yesss people aren't ready for such intense change. But we keep on!
Your all I listen to at the moment I'm going through alot lost both my parents to cancer in space of 3 years and my dog in between them both then my house and then my boyfriend left me with my mental health issues I have now. I hate even saying that. I sound like one of those people. I'm just so respectful to you and your music your an ace your a queen. A goddess. I'm so glad I have your music to listen to. Along with other beautiful musicians. But your amazing and your ambition. I hold on tight.
[Verse 1: Little Simz]
Oh, broken homes and lonely souls is all they know
All they've shown is courage despite the circumstances
Time is passing by, stars command the sky
Don't play dumb by asking why
You already know how all the stories involve
Came here on my own, former that we leaving alone
Put my feet in the studio and call it my home
While others have got no way out
How blessed am I? Nothing left to find
Your life's on the line, don't question mine
Take my advice, don't stress in life
Arms out to you, you can rest your head in mine
I'm prepared to fly with no landing
I might just be the last one standing
They should know that Simz ain't ramping
I came to show there's more, I'm expanding
Still on my lonesome
Give a fuck, I'm chosen
Bit of luck and a wish, maybe we'll get there
But for now, I'm zoning
Somewhere in the air, I'm floating
They will not control us
This the type of shit that ain't never gonna sell
Man, you shouldn't have told us that
Nah, you shouldn't have
This the type of shit that ain't never gonna sell
Man, you shouldn't have told us that
Nah, you shouldn't have
[Hook: The Hics]
I'm crawling up these walls
But they won't come down, no, they won't come down
I'm tearing at the core
Till their words drown out, till their words drown
Clawing at the heart, the trust
You take the little pieces, covering up my soul
I'm just a fool in your game
My life, your prey
[Verse 2: Little Simz]
I ain't never had a chance to do what I love
Ain't nobody ever been encouraging me
I just stay indoors, wishing and dreaming
Maybe in another life, it will happen for me
I put all my energy into feeding my kids
Do they appreciate the sacrifice I made for 'em?
No, their daddy ain't around and I have to make up excuses
As to why he hasn't yet came for 'em, oh lord
Why did you pick me, lord?
What is it that you can see in me, lord?
I'mma write this down, something to report
No air in me, I'm learning to breathe more
How I feel insane, the effect is a glass ceiling
Do it cause I love it and not cause I'm tryna make a killing
Hell no, saying what I like, you can tell so
And if there's a problem, hit me on my cell phone
Know a couple brothers talking through a jail phone
On their best behaviour but still walk it hibernal, shit's fucked
No, I don't owe you nuttin'
Talk that talk if you're gonna do something
If I was in this position like a year ago
I probably would've fell off like a year ago
Fill my pockets, yeah, it's money that we run alone
But fuck that, tell my people that I'm coming home
I'm coming home, boy
[Hook: The Hics]
I'm crawling up these walls
But they won't come down, no, they won't come down
I'm tearing at the core
Till their words drown out, till their words drown
Clawing at the heart, the trust
You take the little pieces, covering up my soul
I'm just a fool in your game
My life, your prey
Thank you for taking the time to write the lyrics 👊🏻🙏
this is more then just Music. thank you
omg yes!

Who had chills?
Refreshing. When a rapper actually puts in the effort. Hardest I've heard in a while.
She just keeps getting better
Mark Naylor don't get how she has got 65k followers on this channel she should have millions
Students are occupying schools in São Paulo - Brazil for the government not to close them. Government and police do not give a fuck and are starting to act aggressively towards the kids. The world should keep an eye on it too.
What a great song for 2020. #justiceforbreonna 💖
don't get lost in what will "sell" .... be YOU!!! (this track is YOU)
Very dope. Some of the best UK hip hop my American ears have heard in a while.
I'm South African and so ashamed of only knowing about this video now. Shook! I love you and i should check out more of your videos and not just music
I'm still in love with this song its just the flow and the beat and the hook is all together 💯💯💯
Cape Town South Africa ...Didn't even know you were here during the protests..

I've been sleeping on that UA-cam recommandation for too long! Damn, i'm in love 💖
Simz is always creating the rawest music out there
the beat, energy, flow is always way to advanced for our generation. much respect.
