      The song owns totally an 90's vibe. That's why it's so good and it gets some sadness in it.

      she's not that different. I mean, i really like her, her voice and her music, but there are plenty of young female singers and rappers that were in this type of gig way before she was, or still are. I could name plenty of amazing artists that you would find just as "different". She's just mainstreaming her way through, which is, of course, great for her.

    • @ind.fresco7261
      @ind.fresco7261 6 років тому +28

      OEN NAO I feel you, that’s what I was talking about, different in the mainstream but there are definitely a lot of more underground artists with a similar style. I should have elaborated more but I like keeping things simple lol. List some artists that you enjoy of whatever genre, I always like finding new artists/music.

    [Intro]
    I wanna turn those blue lights into strobe lights
    Not blue flashing lights, maybe fairy lights
    Those blue lights into strobe lights
    Maybe even fairy lights, not blue flashing lights
    [Verse 1]
    Don't you run when you hear the sirens coming
    When you hear the sirens coming
    You better not run 'cause the sirens not coming for you
    What have you done?
    You went to school that day
    Was a bit late but it wasn't Monday
    Kept after class for answering back
    You apologized, ain't no harm in that
    [Chorus]
    What have you done
    There's no need to run
    If you've done nothing wrong
    Blue lights should just pass you by
    Verse 2]
    Gun crime into your right ear
    Drugs and violence into your left
    Default white headphones flooding the auditory
    Subconscious waves you accept
    You're sitting on the 4 back home
    "Where you at, G? Answer your phone!"
    Pause the poison to answer his message
    Your boy sounds rushed, fears for his adolescence
    [Chorus]
    What have you done
    There's no need to run
    If you've done nothing wrong
    Blue lights should just pass you by
    [Verse 3]
    Tall black shadow as you're getting off the bus
    Shadow shows no emotion so what's even the fuss?
    But the face of your boy casts a darker picture
    Of the red handed act, he's gonna whisper;
    "Look blud I'm sorry 'cause I know you got my back
    He was running, I couldn't think, I had to get out of that"
    Not long ago you were miming to the "Shook Ones"
    Now this really is part two 'cause you're the shook one
    Hands you the tool as you question your friendship
    How's man like you gonna make me a convict?
    Level of a felon when I've done nothing wrong
    Blood on my hands but I don't know where it's from, oh
    You got blood on your hands but you don't know where it's from
    [ Bridge]
    You better run when you hear the sirens coming
    When you hear the sirens coming
    Better run when you hear the sirens coming
    'Cause they will be coming for you
    Run when you hear the sirens coming
    Better run when you hear the sirens coming
    When you hear the sirens coming
    The blue lights are coming for you
    [Chorus]
    What have you done
    There's no need to run
    If you've done nothing wrong
    Blue lights should just pass you by
    [Outro: Jorja Smith & Dizzee Rascal]
    "Blud, when you hear the sirens coming"
    Don't you run when you hear the sirens coming
    "Blud, when you hear the sirens coming"
    Don't you run when you hear the sirens coming
    What have you d-d-d-done done
    Don't you run
    Don't you run
    Don't you run when you hear the sirens coming

      It's a sample of Dizzee Rascal's track 'Sirens' to which this is something of a homage. Also, he says 'Blud' not 'Blurt'. 'Blud' is what grime artists and estate kids often call each other in the UK, because of the heavy Caribbean and African influence on the language spoken in those environments.
