omg heard this song a few times on Pandora in the past, but I couldn't remember the artist name, song, or lyrics, just the beat. Glad I came across it again eventually.
This song so go hard. It’s so smooth and dreamy but she’s telling a dude back up I got to do me. I feel this chic so hard. She’s the new 2020 Keri Hilson. Keep making music for us strong women with female side hidden but really feel. ❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
When you’re done letting them waste your time >>> ✨growth✨
That’s a cold sample 👌🏽
is this a sample of a sample of a mos def song or of the original? 🤔
@@joe98m3 Mos Def version is sampled as well Aretha is the original called One step Ahead.
The best Aretha Sample I’ve heard. I love this song. Awesome Production🔥💯
This song is always a vibe that's undeniably amazing

Still here listening to this beautiful song in 2020 💞💞💞💞
Ayyye

Ran Across This 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Aretha Franklin , Mos Def , Denise William's
I consider Mos def song to be a *sample* more than it being an original but correct Aretha Franklin and Denise Williams are the originals.
One step ahead!❤
Still underrated
Here Befo 1M 💪🏾😋
nice..luv it
She created this song and then got with DaBaby, lol.
I know thats Aretha Franklin in the back but this is totally stolen from Deniece Williams - Free. I hope Dani paid proper homage to them both.
one of the most underrated for suree
I need my space. But you know I still love you ❤️
This song is amazing ♥️♥️♥️
@Danileigh NO MATTER HOW MUCH NEGATIVITY THEY THROW AT YOU GIRL THEY LOVE YOU AND ARE WATCHING.....
