► Lyrics:
(Spoken intro)
Fighting, living, dying
For what? For freedom?
That for which men have fought since
time began, to be free
They’ve been making blanket statements
scaring everyone
They been making you feel like you
never did belong
Yeah he said, and she yeah, yeah
they say a lot
So many things they just
think you forgot
Who you are and what you do and where
you’re coming from
I just thought I could remind you with
a simple song
No bad body language can start
to rub off
Til we’re choosing weapons and hatred
not love, not you
You were in the wilderness
Looking for your own purpose
Then you became a butterfly,a butterfly
I knew you always would
Cause they were throwing stick
and stones
But words could never break your bones
You just spread you wings and fly, your
wings and fly
I knew you always would
I knew you always were
I knew there always was nothing wrong
with being… (you)
All you ever see on CNN are enemies
Telling you to lose your individuality
Look, do this and do that til you’ve
lost your way
Til you need a vice or a means
of escape
They want you to stare into your screen
and see yourself
Blow smoke into your mirror til you’re
mentally unwell
So don’t let them catch you with lies
and deceit
They can’t take your soul or desire for
freedom (you)
You were in the wilderness
Looking for your own purpose
And you became a butterfly, a butterfly
I knew you always would
Cause they were throwing sticks
and stones
But words could never break
your bones
You just spread your wings and fly,
your wings and fly
I knew you always would
I knew you always were
I knew there always was nothing
wrong with being
Who said I wanna be, I’m gonna be
Everything they said that I
couldn’t be
Everything that I said I would be
when I picked up a pen and I started
to speak
I hear the beat, my melody
I just pour all of my heart in
these sheets
I could not just be a star in
the streets
Man, I knew I was different
I harboured belief
Nowhere to live, nothing to eat
You were so hungry that you
couldn’t sleep
You couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t be
All of this shit was happening to me
I would do drugs, I was a thief
Still on the run from the
karma police
You were the mission that’s given to me
by the powers
That be man there is a God
You were in the wilderness, looking for
your own purpose
And you became a butterfly,
a butterfly
I knew you always would
Refrain
This song is extremely powerful and inspiring. Proud of him and his talent.
So am I. I have been a fan since he was on the x factor back in 2012
I love the fact that he is very versatile. Like ha can sing pop, ballad, and rap to rock. And do it too well to find words to express. Just epic.
Best singer in decades, original,emotional, honest and just brilliant.
😯😯
🌟👏🏻 lyrical genius
With the best drummer 🥰
I don't think even James Arthur realizes how epic this song is
Totally 💖
Ist Soo amazig i Love it To😍
He does.
So so epic!
ɴᴏ ʜᴇ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ᴏɴʟy yᴏᴜ 😂😂ʀᴇᴀʟɪᴢᴇ
Underrated. That's what this song is.
Agreed 💯
Haven't seen it on tv since. Its so unfair
James Arthur is not underrated he is the next level up with Ed Sheeran! I know that because I've seen him live and I HAVE KNOWN HIM FOR A LOT OF YEARS!!!!
@James arthurofficial I'm fine you! Xx
@James arthurofficial hi can I email you please my email address is sophie.dencer@outlook.com
Me: thinking James will sing something like “say you won’t let go”
James: raps
If you think he only sings songs like that then you don't even know him 😂
Took me by surprise too. He's great at it.
It’s about time he released some rap!👏
@MissJayG you have to listen to his 'album' "ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE" is fuckin siiiiick!!!!! (It's an album full of him rapping! )
@@jortepap Without Travis Barker, he wouldn't be pulling that shit off. You gotta have a beat before a verse. Same with Ed Sheeran with Em. 😂😂😂
Travis Barker is being used in everything and his talent is truly amazing
BARKER..🙌🙌🙌🥁🥁🥁🔥🔥🔥
@Salt I've seen him featured in a few songs like this, in this context. Which says something because I've never seen any other songs "featuring" the drummer. Have you? I mean, to be the featured artist and not speak a word, you've got to be damn good at your craft....
He's no chad from the chilli peppers😂
"looking for your own purpose"
"im gonna be everything they said i couldnt be"
He motivate me like eminem did.
Someone needs to put this song in a movie!!
I first heard it in an ending credit but I couldn't remember which movie 😅
LMAOO FR
Every songs of him shows emotion and that's everything.
May God bless you strange person who read this.
.
.
James Arthur fan since Xfactor
That's nice of you 🙂 Bless you too.
May god bless u too always
James Arthur is the best. He always surprise his fans
A message to future generations: don't let this song die. Masterpiece!
2:54 2:32
I wasn't expecting this, and it's so good, is really such a important massage, I don't know if it's that I can accept it more cause I've been going through the feeling of finding hard to be understand. But this song changed something even if it's just a little, and it's just a blessing that in this world we can find people that somehow feel the same way and share such a good song with a meaning that hits you right in your insecuryties .Thank you James!
Now it's official: James is literally the love of my life
Cool.
@@knightbythedagger2447 thanks.
mine too and im a male ^^
Definitely
He's mine
James Arthur is actually someone I really like and one of my favorite artist so far. His music is so deep that it touches my soul.
James is a true talent because he sounds exactly the same live.Amazing!
For real..
Everyone is gushing over how James can rap, but can we take a moment to appreciate the amazing message he puts across in the song💙😍
Like he does in most of his songs. One of very few artists that sings songs with a meaning. He's just a KING!
Only old fans are not surprised seeing james doing some rap 😂
Truuuue
I remember when He rapped in his audition for Xfactor.
Benzi Channel yeh 🙌🏼😻😎🤘🏼fire in the booth 👑🎵😭💥🔥🔥🔥🔥
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Haha😄👊
I am so proud of James, everything that he is achieving every show he gives, every song he sings, I am so happy to have him as an idol, I do not fit in the body all the love I have for him!!!!
❤❤❤❤
This song is so emotional
I'm so happy for him. He deserves every little bit of what he's achieved. Such a real and true soul.
The world better give this masterpiece the attention that it deserves
Lyrics:
(Fighting, living, dying)
(For what?)
(For freedom)
(That's what which men have fought since time began)
(To be free)
They be making blanket statements, scaring everyone
They be making you feel like you never did belong
Yeah he said that she said, yeah, they say a lot
So many things they just think you forgot
Who you are and what you do and where you coming from
I just thought I could remind you with this simple song
No bad body language can start to rebuff
To we're choosing weapons and hatred, no love
Not you
You are in the wilderness
Looking for your own purpose
And you became a butterfly, a butterfly
I knew you always would
'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones
But words can never break your bones
You just spread your
Wings and fly, wings and fly
I knew you always would
I knew you always would
I knew there always was
Nothing wrong with being you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
All you ever see, don't see it in our enemies
Telling you to lose your individuality
Look, do this and do that
'Til you've lost your way
'Til you need a vice or a means of escape
They want you to stare into your screen and see yourself
Blow smoke into your mirror 'til you're mentally unwell
So don't let them catch you with lies and deceit
They can't take your soul or desire for freedom
You
You are in the wilderness
Looking for your own purpose
And you became a butterfly, a butterfly
I knew you always would
'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones
But words will never break your bones
You just spread your
Wings and fly, wings and fly
I knew you always would
I knew you always would
I knew there always was nothing wrong with being you
Who said
I wanna be, I'm gonna be
Everything they said I couldn't be
Everything that I said I would be
When I picked up a pen and I started to speak
I hear the beat, my melody
I just pour all my of heart in these sheets
I could not just be a star in the street
Man, I knew what was different, I had a belief
Nowhere to live, nothing to eat

You couldn't breathe, I couldn't be
All of the shit was happening to me
I would do drugs, I was a thief
Still on the run from the karma police
You were the mission that's given to me, by the powers to be
Man is double G 'n' D
You are in the wilderness
Looking for your own purpose
And you became a butterfly, a butterfly
I knew you always was
You are in the wilderness
Looking for your own purpose
And you became a butterfly, a butterfly
I knew you always would
'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones
Words can never break your bones
You just spread your wings and fly, wings and fly
I knew you always would
I knew you always would
Yeah, I knew you always would (I knew)
I know there always was nothing wrong with being
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you

@@vishsinghmusic3500 😂😂😂
many people seem surprised that james raps, but this definitely isn’t the first time did so in a song
I've seen so many people saying that he needs to rap more. :))) I mean, I don't blame them, they're still learning about his beautiful songs. 🌞
He rapped in his very first X Factor audition. He's amazing!
I cried, filmed myself and then few hours later he answered my story and said "love u too" and sent my insta story on his insta story !! You guys should go see me on his story before it's gone haha still can't believe it I feel like I'm dreaming ! My Instagram user name is golden._flame ❤
@@nickyhalliday9852 I still have that on my playlist & even now it gives me chills. You can literally hear a star being born
golden flame ive seen it!!
James Your first performance in X factor is unforgettable for me. Then and now your music is so real, so emotional - I truly love it!
All the hardcore fans know this is the more authentic James Arthur. Rap and rock🤟👏 This is what we’ve been waiting for!
Haven't we just 🙌🎙🥁🥊
A song like "Homicide Love" is not as rough but its true James Arthur too imo. It sounds sooo good. All his diffirent styles of songs.. that's his strength. Its insane how versatile he is as a singer
This doesn't mean I don't love a rock track by James. Its so good
@@misst7923
Exactly.
James has so much soul
@j rkt, Homocide Love is becoming one of my fave songs of his. Definitely authentic JA
Powerful message in this song. Great combination James and Travis!!
Someone pick my jaw up
From the floor !!! I feel like I’ve just been knocked out by Raw Talent , James Arthur better than all the rest! Such a powerful message, just be YOU 🖤
This is. The most powerful lyric and music that James Arthur has released so far. The growth in his writing is beautiful to watch and listen to. I have been a fan since I first saw him on the X factor and his work has never disappointed me. Look forward to to seeing you live in London when you’re next here. Go James 🇬🇧✌🏻💖🇬🇧💕
I feal same
Can't wait to see him perform this live in London next week 🙌❤😍🦋
James' voice is like honey ugh
Listening on repeat since I discovered it 3 months ago. Amazing song! One of my favorites. Actually, when I think about it, I love all of James's songs. True artist.
OMG. THE BEST. I’m 65- loving Jame’s music forever! Not a big fan of rapp - but this is a rapp that I understand and can relate to. Absolutely love it. There is nobody like you- James Arthur❤️
Thanks for your love and support Where are you streaming from?
I need James Arthur and Lewis Capaldi to sing a song together. Now.
Damn yes!
Demi Dallaway but he also said he unblocked him
Oo da da
Omg yes!
Rachel Bollhorst hell yeah
2021 and we still can't deal with the fact that this song doesn't yet have 200,000,000 views on UA-cam
YOU... thank you so much James for such a powerful song. I hope you feel the way I feel when you listen to your song.
In truth, "there's nothing wrong with being you. " YOU ARE THE BEST!
This is criminally underrated!!!
James arthur rapping just killed me and brought me back to life and killed me again sweet jesus
Lewis Capaldi: I wish that I was good enough
James Arthur: There’s nothing wrong with being you
I sometimes thought theyre same is person
I suppose that what happens when boys become men. They learn to not give a fuck about what people think 😂👌🏻
One of my favorite James Arthur videos! Travis Barker is phenomenal. I think this song is truly underrated . Please like this video!
Nobody:
James: Starts rapping
(We want more of James rapping in his songs please)
Haha I swear I said d exact same thing
Ikkrr
IKR
He has some old songs that include rap. Check out "Flyin'" or (one of my favorites) "Where my angels dare not trade" (All the world's a stage). They are really good. 🌞
He's gotten even better at rapping!!! 💯💯💯 King James 👑
Since X factor i have been a fan. Dude so proud of you man! I remember when i heard your single o the radio for the first time. I freaked out and started shouting " WOOOOOOOO". You're music is amazing and keep climbing Mr. Arthur! You deserve all the success that has come your way.
Sad how everyone sees James as the "Say you won't let go" guy when he's so much more than that. Those who liked his rap part should check out his album "all the world's a stage", its very underrated but a very good rap album from James
I dont understand those people .. from the first audition of x factor james was rapping !! And still they dont know it
Everything Travis touches turns to gold
James Arthur fans have class and a great sense of music!!!!!
Give Travis Barker some love!!!! ❤️ He has the beat for anything an artist throws his way!!
James Arthur is something u cant imagine u needed, every song he has always have a unique meaning and his voice is something u cant find in some artist im really proud i met this person and sing his song!
the one on the drums...... eish man who is this guy..... excellent you are one who spread your wings wide
I like how deep his voice is when he starts rapping
💯💯😍😍
He’s literally my absolute favourite artist... his voice is just pure magic 😍🥰
No matter what James touches it turns to pure gold.
Can’t wait to see him on Saturday.
This actually touches a nerve with me. And I regret it now.
When I was younger (I’m talking terms etc). I always wanted to front a hardcore band. There’s a band called Wall of Jericho and their vocalist Candace has been my idol
People would tell me ‘you can’t do that you’re a girl’
‘No clit in the pit’ (LOL yeah I know)
People would laugh it off. Even my parents. So nothing came of it.
I regret not trying to do something about it. I’d love to tour and share my passion with other people.
Luckily enough I’ve still been able to travel a lot in my life so far. So I haven’t missed out on that aspect.
I guess message of this is. Follow your dreams no matter how big or small they may be. Don’t live a life full of regrets and ‘what if’s’
He was great, wasn't he? #Cardiff
travis is a miracle, he just pops up everywhere he's needed.
James Arthur doing RAP , that's the best thing ever 😃
This song had such a deep meaning man......
The line there is no wrong in being you....touched the heart bruhh
Mines TOO
Same he inspires me💪
@@mcaguruchrislove2037 yes man....he is truly inspirational
ikr
When we couldn’t be the best for those who really cared for us 😭😭. Time wasn’t enough to make us pay them back for all the good and love they gave us. That’s enough motivation without them here with us. “There’s nothing wrong being you “ This is epic!
Each lyric is better than others. This guy is a treasure. I love it.
Oooh, his music is like a massage to my ears, adorable...
I just wanna compliment for that old man and young girl for making this short video looks so alive, better than any movie i've been watched lately.. And to the person who direct this mv..you better start being a director.. You're gifted!
0% putaria
0% exibicionismo

Um dos poucos que são desse jeito.
Ele se tornou meu artista favorito de todos, gosto muito do Bruno mars porém FÃ sou só do James
I love you

Curty rock melancólico, Alter Bridge
James é um dos mais talentosos da atualidade. Espero que ele venha ao Brasil novamente, o quanto antes.
James Arthur is a fantastic singer and Travis Barker is just awesome on those drums!! 🔥
*James voice + travis beat = MASTERPIECE*
"There is nothing wrong with being you"

Love how Travis Barker mingles with everyone and makes it good have both James and Travis in it sounds good
Getting more difficult to name my favorite James Arthur song. But this one is right up there.James puts a voice to so many emotions and situations. His music is timeless and lyrics are epic.
Wow. That rap blowed everything...
Not to forget that's one of the rap that don't contain any
Curse words...
He has a divine voice....
One word shit
First time I was like damn I really like the rapper in this song.
Second time I was like holy shit it was James rapping all along. 🤯
Accurate bro
exactly me...
Lol, me too
First time I was like “Ayy he’s back to rapping. Remember when he did *4* songs on Back from the Edge containing rap and a _whole fuckin’ mixtape_ ?”

This short video should be a movie too. Felt like I had seen this kind of movie somewhere 😕

"Their is nothing wrong with being you" this song makes me feel my worth that other people can't see in me. 💔
Thanks for your love and support, it's been a wonderful feeling playing for my fans around the world. Though I rarely comment here, I was attracted by the emotions in your comment. I'll like we get along and stay in touch. Where are you streaming from?
What an anthem! To being yourself and telling people that if they don’t like it, it’s their problem not yours 🇬🇧✌🏻❤️💖💕❤️💕💖💓
Why is nobody's talking about how grt lyrics he's got in it so motivational 💯👌👏

This song is awesome and making me cry in the same time. Thank you James Arthur for making this song. ❤
Someone give that drummer a medal👌🏾
I mean it's Travis Barker, so....
Travis Barker has been a beast on the drums for years...he is my all time favorite drummer. He was the drummer in Blink 182. I believe he is listed as one of the top 100 drummers of all time.
Impressive in every detail!!! The song is beautiful!!! Travis ' presence is an added bonus
This song is so inspiring!!! You are great and man Travis Barker has so much talent!!
Thank you, James! You have renewed my faith in myself today!!!!
What can't this man do he can rap,sing, play guitar piano he is the king of music for me
This is the old James Arthur!!! I’m glad he didn’t forget how he started😍😩
This song is really underrated. This is one of the best songs I have been listening to since November last year
This is it...this is your worlwide Breakthrough...everybody will know your Name, James.
Bless you and thank ypu for your awesome art....I enjoy it to the maximum since day one in you came out on puplic stage . I felt it than and its a joy to see you growing and growing. Love and peace Mona
