Lyrics
I be myself I aint frontin na na nah
I owe you nothing
I be myself I aint frontin na na nah
I don't have to smile for you
I don't have to move or you
I don't have to dance monkey dance monkey dance for you
See I wont help you understand
I don't need no helping hand
These aren't tears this is the ocean
These aren't fears this is devotion
I owe you nothing
I be myself I aint frontin na na nah
I owe you nothing
I be myself I aint frontin na na nah
I don't have to walk for you
I don't have to talk to you
See I’m not on display, never was, never will ever be for you
I wont help you understand
I don't need no helping hand
These aren't tears this is the ocean
These aren't fears this is devotion
Why you always have to try me?
Thinking I'm gon follow blindly saying oh let me down easy, baby let me drown easy

If snatching my arm away out of someone's grasp was a song
Exaaaactly!
Yes
This comment right here tho ✊🏾
👍🏾
Love this
These aren't tears, this is the ocean. These aren't fears, this is devotion.
HOT DAMN THESE LYRICS 🔥😭
ocean size
Woe. Me. Out.
I have crossed oceans of times to find this line of lyrics
and people that appreciate these little beauty
No one has ever owed me less and given me more. This isn’t a song it’s a philosophy. This isn’t music it’s a masterpiece.
Música is masterpiece
right??? and it's so underrated, it should have way more views.
Well it's April Fox!!
"No one has ever owed me less and given me more" we all eatin a shit sandwich, if they pay you back what they owed you then its enough. point of the song isnt it
🔥🔥🔥
This song helps me with my anxiety. I'm tired of going through the motions because it's expected.
I just want to not care what people think
Same!
We should all stop doing stuff we don't even like and just be real, eventually everyone will just be real and stop going through the motions just because it's expected.
Me too. Like rn
Q
This is a fucking brilliant song. this woman is 100% underrated. Her voice and her attitude and her message is so GOOD.
very intimidating song, not really friendly at all. To be honest i was expecting much better, the origenal version of this song by "bros" was much better than this remake! if you have not yet listened to _"bros - i owe you nothing"_ then you're missing out on a classic hit!.
taburz blism okay but your discrediting this song it’s “intimidating” stop
taburz blism if by intimidating you mean she speaks Her mind and you're afraid of that then yes,sure.
taburz blism you don’t even know this woman to even make a statement like that. Just because you have an “opinion” on things doesn’t make it the truth. You’re “truth” is nothing more than a opinion...
taburz blism you still haven’t proven anything or backed your statement with any facts. All that you have stated was like I said a bunch of opinions to back it up. Let people enjoy the music. ✌🏽
These are one of those bops you sway to, as your cussing out your invisible boo in the mirror. Love this lol
ok but why you reading me like this
You said it all...and singing it like you wrote it and Meant it!!!!!
My REAL SISTER, FINALLY!
PeriodT. Drag themmmm
Me to myself 💯👌👏👏
I love this. This is exactly how I feel about the shallowness of my American culture and how we place women's beauty and polite mild mannered ways of being, above strength, intelligence and courage. "I owe you nothing".
YESSSS!
Especially white beauty.
I never hear women complain about no one expecting them to run into a burning building to save a man. lol
@@Cypress_magic Most mothers would probably do that willingly. What are you saying now?
Truth,,when someone tell me to smile
Sass has never sounded more humble
All of these beautiful black faces - love it!
I'm hypnotised.
Me too. We need more black repisentation like this go main stream.
Double standard racism. Yawn.
@@somewhitman4040 you can yawn yourself outta here
@@zilly724 What if I don't? Are you going to cry to the white man about white supremacy?
Edit: Grow up. 40 acres and a mule are something you'll have to buy in 2019.
i saw the thumbnail and knew i was about to like this song. shes got some beautiful, old school, Lauryn Hill type vibes boy, i'm digging it
Nice call, thank you! Will look it up, fo sho!
Roberta Flack
Yeeeeeesssssssss
Happy Women's Month!
We are TIRED of men not leaving us the hell alone! Set boundaries and stay safe 💖
She really hit the nail on the head! Beautiful brown faces, wonderful message with just the right twist of attitude. Yes! Just what I needed as a female struggling in a male dominated society full of racism and oppression against brown and black folks in our nations. Big up..keep it strong...powered in our understanding and faith.
lmao

@Tren Urban Are you saying the presence of a Black president for eight years takes away from all the racist incidents targeted against black people in the last 12 years ? Do you remember Trayvon Martin? And a host of other racist attacks against black men by the police for no other reason than they were black ? You might be right free and happy but that is not the reality for many black and brown people in the USA.
@@blessings4eva863 It's the reality for POOR people, doesn't matter the color as much as you all think. It's MONEY.
@{} why is it nonsense? Your comment makes no sense, yes of course other bad things are happening across the world. It's all got the same reason and cause which is money and they don't give a shit what color
Listening to this on repeat. 🙌 cannot stop. WHO ELSE IS ADDICTED????
ME
Celina Rina you should check out my chillax mix with this on it. Adding new songs daily.
Fuzzi Box Archive me too...it has a powerful meaning
I'm so addicted to this song!!!
Fuzzi Box Archive me too
Imagine Andre 3000 hitting a cold verse and this being the hook damn!!!!!!!!!
Kanye
Him getting some bars inserted into it might be good, but I'd hate to hear this song reduced to a hook.
It's her song, he should be featured a verse, not her
Kendrick lamar
Hnmmmmm. Indeed
The music video, her voice, their outfits and their faces, everything is so overwhelmingly beautiful. What a masterpiece.
This hits a little differently in 2020... #ripgeorgefloyd #wearetired
❤✊🏽
YES
Big Facts
Word is. ❤✊🏾
@JwahAmore41 Good Morning Troll...be blessed and find something else to do other than look at old post and comment. I pray that God gives you the same compassion and mercy in which you delivered out this morning...none ✌🏾
That's why I love being lost on youtube... ♥️
YESSSS
she's wearing a neneh cherry t-shirt!!! love artists respecting artists who came before them
Still Owe Them Nothing In 2020 😌🔥
🤭👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯
This is a powerful song no matter who you are.
Love it.
💛💛💛💛🌟🌟🌟
She's Gambian descendant. Father Maudo Sey,Singer(in memorian).
BlackGirlMagic! We highly melanated!!
She's so particular and her voice is something that I can't forget at all. LOVE THIS FLOW
Girl with a voice like this you definitely don't owe anyone shit! First time hearing you and I'm in love
"Na na nah" gives me Lauryn Hill vibes 💚
sosnevis totally
True 💕
sosnevis and Nina Simone
Erykah Badu
Amy Winehouse
The angles and camera work.. This is definitely on a another level. 🔥🔥💯
The message 💪💪💪
❤
im going through a time in my life where im facing a tooooonnn of colorism. so to see a band of all shades of black singing about the same thing makes it really lovely :)))
💯
Gatvey g pls do elaborate on ur issue of colorism
Feel free to go to a all black country..
He's probably too Light skkinnned And cute
@@alonalove3118 OP does NOT owe you or anyone else an explanation. Focus on the issues of colorism you see, and your responses. I don't know if you're white, but you can steal my point and repeat it to any white people who are feeling privileged enough to question black people about the legitimacy of their black experience.
This is my new jam. It's crazy how the public radios don't play music like this.
This song is literally speaking to me. My whole vibe for 2018 since January. And I wanna scream this to the skyyyyy! I owe you nothingggg I am myself and I ain’t fronting for nobodyyyyy!
so true :D loving this song
2019 is the year of retribution.
💯
THE CULTURE IN THIS VIDEO >>>
You mean Louis Vuitton and Burberry? That's not culture, that's consumerism.
💯💯💯👏👏
Culture goes beyond clothes
@@calisouthqueen so does indoctrination.
Video shot in Africa , The Gambia
“These Ain’t Tears This Is The Ocean, These Ain’t Fears This Is Devotion!” I FELT THAT PART!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
She is reminiscent of R&B/Jazz singer/song writer/ actress Phylis Hyman. Very soulful, deep, and rich voice. The whole aesthetic of the video is wonderful . Tying the spinning ceiling fan into the music.
Wtf.? So hypnotizing rhythm, so perfect production and the bridge... Good lord. Beyond any words... CONGRATS. So mesmerizing song. Thank you SEY.
Ladies,how are you all doing today? I want to say, just be you with confidence and never looking back.but always looking forward always.Being myself is the Only way I can be!!!I,You,I and We owe nothing to no one... but ourselves and that is to Love Yourself.Be You!!!🌞
you too, boo. one love, from NY
Artist like these make me proud of my melanin and make me realize it's a privileges and a blessing to be African American
And still the mood in 2023🫰🏾
2018 is saved.
Your comment says it all. Thanks!
Danyl Young 👏👏
Yes, Iam
Danyl Young yass I'm felling the same of you
Adrian when's the last time Lauryn made a song
~ These aren't tears... this is the ocean.
These aren't fears... this is devotion.👑👏🏽
Love it!!! Also love it when I find new music. Very creative. Lyrics are truth.
Don't let anyone try and change you or manipulate you. Stay positive. Stay you.🌟
~Owe no man nothing but love.💜
I'm here two years later and I love it 🤜🏿💥🤛🏾
shes a golden star and her lyrics are beyond truth!
Amazing voice, but the message.. that message that only a confident artist could send to the society.. "i owe you nothing" 😎✌
She look like Marsha. Their sounds would compliment each other too
I love when I accidentally click on something and I luV it!
This song is everything!!!! Its how I live! unapologetic and free. Life is a vapor! Living for me not anyone else. Loove this joint right here!
I’m glad the universe brought this song into my life. I needed this. I just found my spirit animal / sister tribe
The Writing on the wall is the beginning is EVERYTHING!!!!!
Chills from the first word of the lyrics. Why don't we ever hear about these amazingly talented people and accidentally find them on UA-cam??? So much great music around this side of UA-cam...
What a voice. Such confidence.
[Chorus]
I owe you nothing
I be myself and I ain't fronting, eh, nah, nah, nah
I owe you nothing
I be myself and I ain't fronting, eh, nah, nah, nah
[Verse 1]
I don't have to smile for you
I don't have to move for you
I don't have to dance, monkey dance, monkey dance, monkey dance for you
[Pre-Chorus]
See, I won't help you understand
I don't need no helping hand, no
See, these aren't tears, this is the ocean
These aren't fears, this is devotion
[Chorus]
I owe you nothing
I be myself and I ain't fronting, eh, nah, nah, nah
I owe you nothing
I be myself and I ain't fronting, eh, nah, nah, nah
[Verse 2]
I don't have to walk for you
I don't have to talk to you
See, I'm not on display
Never was, never will ever be for you
Delreen Zoremsiami thank YOU
You left out 1.46-2.17
Nice to see other musicians already doing what they love in life. Your music makes me to keep at my own dream!
exactly. Her music is a slap to depression and anxiety faces at the same danm time. Sheeesshh. I never comment on any artist video. First time & I am impressed.
Yaaaaasssss yes yes yes my life everyday in her lyrics and now I’ll be myself shit her words are life
toooo
I'm sure that you are saying as exactly. this music video has so many meanings. do you believe in something?
if you have believed something in your mind, you could impress in this one.
omg this is so well put.... you can always tell when someone is doing what they love, the energy from them and their work just radiates and is very genuine and life-changing
this song... changed my self concept
I just love the beauty and strength of this song. Incredibly powerful.
i feel like this song can be about a lot of things, not just toward whites, but also toward perhaps men who percieve or expect certain things of women and specifically black women. it seems to be toward anyone who expects to put the narrator in a box, oppress them, or otherwise have unwarranted expectations.
inthetearoom its free 4 interpretation
My first time listening and I thought it was a message for men lol #feminism
Yep. That's what I was thinking.
could be about the industry too
Black men are always blamed for everything 😁
I couldn't think of a better voice to push those words out.
I lost it all then found this song and now I have everything...🔥...I thank God for you 🌹
These aren't tears this is the ocean. These aren't fears it's just devotion!
she reminds me of marsha ambrosius...physically and vocally
Yesss i couldnt think of who she reminded me of
Yessss
Je suis hypnotisée. Comme une impression de quitter mon corps à chaque note qui s'évade dans les airs. Quelle merveilleuse voix. Quelle personnalité singulière. Quelle belle découverte. Merci🙏❤️
Maureen Nebout Agreed 10,000% My recommendations blessed me today!!! Glad to see I'm not the only who noticed ❤💖❤
Maureen Nebout J'étais hynotisée aussi! Je juste vu cette video aujourd'hui et ne peux pas arretez regard de cette vidéo. Mdr
Excusez moi français je suis une débutante en français. 😄

Wow, you are just as expressive with your feelings....
I feel this. I owe you Nothing
My favorite artist...you feel the music through your whole entire body. It ignites your soul and it’s simply amazing. Ugh, thank you God for Seinabo Sey! 💭🖤
Senegambia Girls rocking 🙏🏾😍😍🙏🏾 🇸🇳 🇸🇳 🇬🇲 🇬🇲
Just the song I needed to hear. Thank you, secret FBI agent.
Juliette Viassy true!!! 🤐

Algorism
@Zoey White @fayie79 @Pimmy11 You guys have to ignore the trolls. But even if not a troll, if your mental undercarriage isn't damaged by the bump of one tiny mind, then, focus on the road ahead. Besides, if you've never taken a logical argument class, you should at least know this: "reverse racism" is a logical fallacy. And such an argument that opens with one, cannot be won. Such an argument will remain but a mere loss of your time and mental energy. Have a good day. And @Juliette Viassy Yes! I love those faces.
@@viciousmonkey5221 think you replied under the wrong comment but I love what you are saying.
Lost count of how many times I’ve played this 😎💆🏽♀️

Younger Wallander 🔥
I blast this when I am out and about. I don’t smile at fake smiles. I don’t smile towards men that think I should disrespect myself. I don’t smile to racist parents who have a problem with their babies smiling at me. I don’t feel like I owe anybody an apology for being my African self. I am proud to be African and live wherever I want. I am proud to be a woman and do whatever I want. If I want to wear anything. I wear It because I don’t owe you a dime so don’t tell me nothing. You can judge me but you can’t touch this 💍💍💍💍
