@@esi2952 yes I understand the difference I just wouldn’t classify her as Nigerian, maybe she has Nigerian decent yes, but she grew up British so I would classify her as British.

Im not a woman. But popped out of my momma and my momma a true og. And a strong hardworking providing mother. The womb of the universe. This song is a masterpiece
@Javier Murillo exactly. It’s the bare minimum. Men could say, “I wouldn’t rape.” and some of us would go crazy over him. I’ve seen this happen. How low can the bar get? It keeps getting lower, there’s no standard. No, it doesn’t exist for men anymore. Finding a man who isn’t a raging misogynist is so rare, might as well appreciate those ones. Or just stay with women.

I would love to see her and Hope Tala collaborate. This is giving me "all my girls like to fight" music video vibes Edit: After listening to this on repeat, how good it is hasn't sunk in yet. This album will be one to be remembered
This song has a grown man in tears rn. Such a beautiful representation of femininity. Knowing there’s music like this representing women is extremely refreshing
I'm a 42 year old Irish guy and love heavy metal, techno, drum and bass, punk, reggae and this woman. She oozes snazz. Dripping in style. Individual and just downright brilliant!
I think this woman may be one of the greatest female rappers alive! She's doing her OGs proud. Putting these new cats to shame. All while doing it so humbly and beautifully. One of a kind.
She is putting so much distance between herself and other MCs (all of em’ - not just women; can’t stand when people do that). She is definitely leveling up right now. So excited for this project.
It's honestly more than I can wrap my mind around right now. Y'all realize an entire generation is growing up with these images?? Our babies are gonna be fine. 🙌🏿💪🏿✊🏿 Thank you for this!!!
Well, I’m 59 years old and I know her music isn’t directed at my demographic, but I LOVE Little Simz since seeing her on Later With Jools Holland. Quality is quality, whatever genre it emerges from. And she is Quality with a capital ‘Q’!
I am 48, and my late husband was born in 1960 and was a fan. I found her on youtube first back in 2018-2019. And introduced my late husband to her music. And he became a fan instantly, as did I. I also love Cleo Sol.
love how she ended up the other video saying "you truth unveils with time as you embark on a journey of what it takes to be a woman" and this song is about being a woman❤️❤️🔥
She is the figure rap needs right now. All of the swagger and glory of Kendrick and Kanye but with the opposite of their machismo. Absolutely beautiful, Simz you haven’t missed once. Absolute queen.
Rhymes are drop dead perfect, flow is immaculate, and the message is so frickin overdue and damn I’m just so glad to be hearing THIS instead of W.A.P. Thank you a little simz
The Black Excellence/Woman Empowerment is the most beautiful thing about this...The lyrics and aesthetic tell a story...Bless her minddddddd hype this up!
"He was getting bitter while she was getting bitter,diamonds are forever-basically describes the strength of a woman,and the power that she has to strive towards her goal,the blood,the sweat and the tears that she endures to reach where she is now,and her ability to do her best without allowing criticism deter her from her destiny.
That phonecall monologue was had me tickled because it starts out as endearing and ends with “but you never pick up the phone” in frustration, if that doesn’t encapsulate a close bond with a friend/loved one then I don’t know what does.
Yes!!! Especially because she was in Little Simz Selfish video, I thought for sure I would see her here. So disappointed but I still love the song and video anyway.
There is so much emphasis and acknowledgement of Africa by black artists living abroad and I'm loving it.. There's a real sense of unity slowly being weaved together ❤
oh my god, I'm totally blown away by this song...hypnotized by this incredible groove. for me, a huge, beautiful piece of music...thanks at this point Little Simz
Almost 2 years of this masterpiece and I can genuinely say this is one of my favorite songs and videos ever. I lowkey shed tears cause it’s so regal, elegant and beautiful. Best song and album of the decade.
Wowww, just wow. No words left or needed because this is a masterpiece, a real amazing song, from the lyrics to the musicality to the cinematography. And I just want to say that even though I just discovered her I am already in love with her and her creative directions she takes that elevate everything about her. Love to everyone who reads this. 🥰❣❣
I rarely ever hear Sierra Leone being shouted out in a song, so I literally jumped like a little girl at that part! 😂🇸🇱 Amazing song, lyrics and visuals... has me smiling the whole time 💕
So this is me checking out a song that I can understand every syllable and has a message, a groove and purpose. And coming from the Bronx where hip hop was born, that's what I've long been waiting for! Little Simz should be a world star!
Badu really influenced hip hop so well, I’m feeling her work flowing from the both of them, producer made it even more interesting. Beautiful masterpiece.
This is generational type of music. Gotta love it. If i get a daughter in this world ima make her hear the second verse “… Say she focusing on being an accountant. When you have beauty and brains its astounding”. I love that line so much, my moms an account. Thank You Simbi aka Little Simz
She says "When you have beauty and brains they find it astounding. Why?" As in, why is it so astounding or amazing that someone is attractive and isn't an idiot? I appreciate the sentiment of your comment, and I also want to let my daughters listen to this beautiful music. But I think you took the wrong message from her lyrics because you misheard it. She's saying it isn't astounding that someone has beauty and brains. She's saying it's quite common.
Can I just say the music coming out of BLACK UK is the best 🔥🔥🔥🔥 us black brits are really doing the dam ting! Cleo is Jamaican which explains why she is so earthly and talented
As an American woman & avid fan of rap & alternative music from Black Brits I have to agree…very much so!! I’m listening to & learning about so many amazingly talented artists including Little Simz! Loving all of it!!
Yes there is some good music being produced over here at the moment - been playing this album strong since it dropped - at the moment been playing Children of Zeus album Balance, loving it.
The production is great. The swelling of the strings as Cleo soul intensifies with it. The simplicity in Little simz’s poetry is powerful. The best way to describe this is golden. I cant wait to listen to the album!
Got goosebumps bc of the power of this. You dont understand, how damn important is to have a woman with this level of artistry in the music industry, specially in rap.
Just discovered me and my daughter’s summer song. Learning all the lyrics. That hook is a wonderful mantra. I too like how We do and can go from 0 to 100 and leave the dust behind…all action, no talk…lead with your light. #chuch
Such a beautiful, refreshing take on a woman homage that is of course most deserved and needed!!! Much love and blessings to Simbi!! Really appreciate and honor what she's doing and how consistent she is!!!
This and "Energy" by Sampa the Great are serious feminine power love. Women supporting and celebrating other women is a beautiful thing 💚💙💜 I have listened to this song pretty much every single day for over a year now
music is the only thing keeping a lot of us sane atm. grateful for works of art like this that raise our vibration and keep us uplifted. thank you little simz & cleo sol for this masterpiece 🤍✨
I am a man and I love this Queen's movement. I was looking for some new Cleo Sol and found this song. That harmonizing voice in the background with the beat is memorizing. Great composition! Peace, to the Queens
I swear this album is gonna be a masterpiece..
Literally same like this album is about to be some Tpab level shit
So excited!!
Album best ever year. So Far 2021
agree
I hope it does good but I think she’s leaving her older albums behind which is a shame as the first two are bloody great

She’s got that music that makes you love yourself and strive to be better .
“woman to woman I just wanna see you glow” ENERGY 🥰 this whole song is a vibe
Naija women, got the melanin dripping
L-O-N-D-O-N, city girl living
In the back, looking like fire, chili pepper
Yoruba girl tougher than imperial leather
He was getting bitter while she was getting better
Diamonds are forever
Miss Sierra Leone
Looking like a gem, works hard in the week
Party on the weekend
Know you wanna live with no one watching how you spend
Got a thing for the finer things and the finer men
Miss Tanzania, she a do or die
Say she want to know more 'bout the Sukuma tribe
We hit the zoot, once wasn't enough
Got an ocean full of knowledge, it was scuba dive
Miss Ethiopia can play so jazzy
Then sit you down and school you on Selassie
Tell 'em you're nothing without a woman, no
Woman to woman, I just wanna see you glow
Tell 'em what's up
I love, how you go from zero to one hundred
And leave the dust behind
You've got this
All action, no talk
Bajan honeys, know you repping for your country
Sun kissing your brown skin, looking like money
Say she focusing on being an accountant
When you have beauty and brains they find it astounding
Why? She been getting it on her own nigga
Self made, ain't nobody doing gold digger
Now, miss India always speaks with her chest
Got respect from her people 'cause she leads them the best
Hmm, real life queen in the flesh
Know the crown get heavy, still it beez on your head
Brooklyn ladies, know you hustle on the daily
Innovating just like Donna Summer in the 80's
Your time, they seeing you glow now
Intelligence and elegance, show 'em how
Miss Jamaica understand food for the soul
She get up in the kitchen or she throw down
Ain't nothing without a woman though
Woman to woman, I just wanna see you glow
Tell 'em what's up
I love how you go from zero to one hundred
And leave the dust behind
You've got this
All action, no talk
I see you glow, you're the finest gold
When you walk in the room, they feel your soul
Your style, it shines so ahead of time
And you know that you're fire, you're so damn fine, girl
She a Ghana girl
Calm with it, never let the marijuana fail
Though a sucker for the romance, take you to the homeland
One way, she ain't coming back, nah
All I see is black stars and I frigging love it, yeah, yeah
Time's up, tell the people that we coming, yeah, yeah
Done being in the shadow, going public, yeah, yeah
Don't know how to bear it, how to stomach, yeah, yeah
Hand over the shit and let us run it, yeah, yeah
All we know is looking flawless, all they know is stare, stare
Ain't nothing without a woman though
Woman to woman, I just wanna see you glow
I love, how you go from zero to one hundred
And leave the dust behind
You've got this
And lead them with your light
You've got this (woman to woman, I just wanna see you glow)
All action, no talk (tell 'em what's up)
"You know, Simzy
Sometimes, you know, I look around
And I think of all the things in this country
All the great things in life
And all the horrible things
That are just the other half of the great things in life
And how we don't really get greatness without sacrifice
We don't get good things without a little bit of pain
And how happiness is the, that's the truth
The emptiness that you can sometimes feel on the other side
I dunno, it just reminds to call you
But then you never pick up the phone
I would love to see her and Hope Tala collaborate. This is giving me "all my girls like to fight" music video vibes

Badu really influenced hip hop so well, I’m feeling her work flowing from the both of them, producer made it even more interesting. Beautiful masterpiece.
you can hear badu’s influence in cleo’s hook and she sings like a dang angel it’s incredible
@@heath2930 bless your ears
I actually thought it was her singing initially@@heath2930
I don't think there's even a word to describe how perfect this is. Lyrics, visuals...aesthetics...yoh
This is generational type of music. Gotta love it.
If i get a daughter in this world ima make her hear the second verse “… Say she focusing on being an accountant. When you have beauty and brains its astounding”.
I love that line so much, my moms an account. Thank You Simbi aka Little Simz
My daughter just queued this for me to listen to, it’s lovely 😊
Teach her how to spell first.
She says "When you have beauty and brains they find it astounding. Why?" As in, why is it so astounding or amazing that someone is attractive and isn't an idiot? I appreciate the sentiment of your comment, and I also want to let my daughters listen to this beautiful music. But I think you took the wrong message from her lyrics because you misheard it. She's saying it isn't astounding that someone has beauty and brains. She's saying it's quite common.
@@Largentina. ok
@@thephilcharles Just found it funny that you took the opposite message from the lyrics than the one she actually said.
Cleo and sims together ...everything. cleo is so underrated. These two are the best from the UK period. Big up yard man to
Her artistry, her imagination, her creativity, her pen mastery all unmatched
This tune is, hooked. Many of us older mature women love this track! It's a blaster, loving this 👌🏽
everything this woman touches is a fuckin masterpiece, literally incapable of making bad music
Can I just say the music coming out of BLACK UK is the best 🔥🔥🔥🔥 us black brits are really doing the dam ting! Cleo is Jamaican which explains why she is so earthly and talented
As an American woman & avid fan of rap & alternative music from Black Brits I have to agree…very much so!! I’m listening to & learning about so many amazingly talented artists including Little Simz! Loving all of it!!
Yes there is some good music being produced over here at the moment - been playing this album strong since it dropped - at the moment been playing Children of Zeus album Balance, loving it.
The production is great. The swelling of the strings as Cleo soul intensifies with it. The simplicity in Little simz’s poetry is powerful. The best way to describe this is golden. I cant wait to listen to the album!
I am an old schooler late 70s early 80s this is actually a good song good melody strings vocal harmonies and the women are dressed superbly
this is what happens when everyone commits to the group project 👏🏼 a whole masterpiece
As a North African woman tryna make something of myself, to see this is inspiring. I feel heard and seen. Big up xx
Glad to see my fellow North African women here 💜
Big Ups to you Queen may you glow & grow Up effortlessly😍
It’s all about accurate and positive representation ✔️❤️
just listening to this isn’t enough, i need this song imported into my brain tissue
As a Jamaican woman, I appreciate this!!
Got goosebumps bc of the power of this. You dont understand, how damn important is to have a woman with this level of artistry in the music industry, specially in rap.
This is what we need!!!! More positive influence!! Us women need to be constantly reminded that we are queens!!!
No not really i think there is enough 😂
@@stellarthings.7 you're not the living God so u can't determine that👌🏾
That beautiful voice on the hook brought tears to my eyes
This woman's artistry is truly inspiring.
Ok I legit needs a Little Simz and Joy Crookes collab!
Yes!!!
Yesss
Yes pleaseeeee
Rimon too.
Just discovered me and my daughter’s summer song. Learning all the lyrics. That hook is a wonderful mantra. I too like how We do and can go from 0 to 100 and leave the dust behind…all action, no talk…lead with your light. #chuch
Yes I'm 66 granddaughter 5 it's her fav brill in the car blastin g out xx
Such a beautiful, refreshing take on a woman homage that is of course most deserved and needed!!! Much love and blessings to Simbi!! Really appreciate and honor what she's doing and how consistent she is!!!
It makes me so proud that she is Nigerian
UGH YES
British
@@itsbeyondme5560 you can be both lmaoo. I am too
I mean all Africans are Africans
Everything about this is FUCKING amazing. The visuals, the lyrics, the beat, the people. I’m blown the fuck away.
This is exquisite 😤😤😤.
I can't be the only one laughing when the person on the line was like "you never pick up the phone" 😂😂
Lmao I fucking lost it on that line too😂
😎
This and "Energy" by Sampa the Great are serious feminine power love. Women supporting and celebrating other women is a beautiful thing 💚💙💜 I have listened to this song pretty much every single day for over a year now
Love this 🤍
music is the only thing keeping a lot of us sane atm. grateful for works of art like this that raise our vibration and keep us uplifted. thank you little simz & cleo sol for this masterpiece 🤍✨
I am a man and I love this Queen's movement. I was looking for some new Cleo Sol and found this song. That harmonizing voice in the background with the beat is memorizing. Great composition! Peace, to the Queens
I love the bit 'says she's focusing on being an accountant'. I am studying accountancy myself. I love this song so much. It's on repeat
genuinely the best uk rapper in such a long time
