The truth was hiding in plain sight. Everything about this song and it's delivery now appears so personal in retrospect. Queen Ifrica's passion in speaking those lyrics was palpable.
I had to come here after seeing the video she did on the 25th. This is sad to say the least. Hold strain Queen, you've come this far and will continue to be an inspiration to many
Thank you for writing this song Queen for the countless woman suffering from sexual abuse whether it is a father, brother, Uncle,family friend etc. It scars for life.
@@oliviatab6901 Most of the so-called celibate Priest abuse little boys,, don't know why this is so unique to Priests,,, the only thing I can think of, is, maybe they are original homosexual,, thus the celibate depiction would be just right, but then they are attracted to little boys, since they are not interested in females,, hope I didn't mash anybody's corn here.
Obvious very touching seeing what women's go through in the hands of hardless men,men are no more protecting the Born and the flesh of there own image.
I'm a father to two very beautiful girls, I cannot imagine the kinda crazy, devil-reject father who would do such a thing to his daughter! Big up Queen, "pay attention even if a man be a Pastor".
Simon MLay,,,, me too,,, I cannot even imagine, even thinking of this, not even in my dream,, I don't even talk too rough to my daughters, much more this,, you are indeed right, it must be some kind of devil-reject Father,, I just happen to hear this song from a collection of oldies, and decide to re-visit 2018/Nov.
My God, my heart aches for the pain she must have endured all these years. I always thought this song was a personal testament. I'm truly saddened that I was right in thinking so. I'm praying for her strength and peace of mind.
I thank her for this song its a cry out for help please stop molestation amen ....I was also a victim ...I love my children all children that needs help and protection.
A true artist go where few others dare. Big up queen ifrica . Sad indeed the grown men we had to run and hide from in the Caribbean as young girls to protect our virtue. Keep your head up and speak up girls . Too many suffer without uttering a word.
She was very bold for writing such a song at a time when it was taboo to talk about such things in the media. A very sensitive topic but im glad she did. She gave countless girls a voice. And i hope the people who protected these predators felt like shit when they heard this song. It should have never been banned, that was a shit move by the government.
Always on my playlist...Listen to her growl and conviction and now we know... Ladies please protect your children at all costs...No lock up the kids but have a sense of ppl around them ... And BELIEVE the kids cause predators depend on that silence ❤
I have never heard a song be so blatently bold and raw and straight-up to the point. Thank you sooooooooo much for this post. Thank you to Douglas for turning me on to it.I cried when I first head it, then I felt relieved and empowered. Then I started a mission to tell everyone I know about this song... :) GREAT ARTISTRY!
I had to come back and listen to your song empress, "I am going to tell on you One day I swear" you finally did just so... Continue stay strong, and thank you for such amazing song with important messages.
Queen 👑 was brave and must be commended for putting her personal life experience out into the world in order to give backbone and confidence to those children 🚸 suffering in silence 🔇 to step forward and speak their truth and get justice She deserves a platinum award for this song because it is more than a song
“I am not as happy as I seem to be” my teenage life, they never knew. My older cousin. Queen Ifrica, I love you. If you’re the Queen I am your humble subject.
I think it deserves a Major award and should be distributed as widely as possible. I hope it is taken up by MOBO; Grammy; Oprah! Should be played in youth clubs. Nicely done. Heard of family friend misbehaving and now mum won't talk to him. Sending mum this video.
THIS SONG IS BEAUTIFUL AND SAD AT THE SAME TIME. THE VERSE: "the long showers i take don't wash away the memories why do i have to face these tragedies" That is so true. What's done is done and NO ONE can give back your innocense!!
See even the age of the of the father says alot....talking about hiding in plain sight....this song is the truth of what happened years ago, tell on you one day I swear as come......RESPECT TO YOU QUEEN STAY STRONG 💪 ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Watching this video again in 2018 bring tears to my eyes as a father of two girls, who are now adults,,, especially after hearing that the girl who acted the abused child, said she cried for real, during the shooting of this video.
I APPRECIATE THIS SONG SO MUCH. SO MANY OF OUR YOUTH HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS. I HAVE EXPERIENCE THIS WITH ONE OF MY uncles, I AM STILL DEALING WITH IT. I KEEP SAYING I'M OK, BUT I KEEP THINKING ABOUT IT. DAMN WHY ME! GOD BLESS EVERYONE WHO HAS FELT THIS PAIN.
I know this song was the truth cos I was rapped by my dad multiple times as a young girl and this song hit deep inside of me..... 🔥🔥🔥🔥 fire bun all those nasty men
everytime i listen to this, i get da shivers... im happy to hve been raised by my dad who has never thought of doin such things... but children who are in that position, makes me sad, n mad its sumthing that isnt bein fixed
Magnificent contribution to the world of music and lyrics! This song is so powerful and so needed because it gives a voice to the voiceless... Thank you to all who made this song possible. This is one step toward a society's consciousness of itself and the empowerment of children who have been abused.
This song was pretty popular and very triggering as a child... I remember fighting back tears while that man was right by my side and whenever i heard it especially since I was silent about it for years.
Judge no one and let no one judge you I feel your pain carmer is real bless up your strong black woman we all have our pain we have to be strong God is with you blessing❤😢
Knowing what I knw now bring tears to mi eyes smh a mean we all could hear the pain but queen has always been a artist that’s emotionally connected to her music
Those who are abused do not usually speak out; for fear of shame or ridicule. My sister, Queen Ifrica, steps out and speaks up, creating much awareness on their behalf. Now, what will we, as a people, do about it? Will our governments, child advocates, church, business and community leaders, neighbours and parents get up and act?

Beautiful song, bless her for having the guts to confront this subject in her art. People who are victims of incest must be able to get it out in the open so they can begin the healing process and move forward with their lives. Respect!
Some people I know and I were once victims and we are now survivors, thanks to Queen for this song, it has provided me with solace for a long time. Jah Bless you Queen❤️
DTMIOW; Listenin' all the time - This is such a sad song and it even hurts me, but well done Queen - Maximum Respect 2U...Love and Peace to all...Jah Bless!!! One Love!!!
I wish that this could be shown to all young children, both girls and boys. They may get the message better as it comes in the form of video and song. They should be taught to report anyone who tries to molest them, this is something that should be instilled in them. We need more positive messages sent out like this. It is time to lock up these creeps who must molest their family members and children instead of looking for an adult to have an relationship with. Hats off to you Queen Ifrica.
Am going to tell on you one day i swear!!! 25,8,2023 i remember when this song came out ppl was wondering and she said its just a song. Imagine the pain to denied it

Only for the man to go jail now
@@nakitabolah2211. .See its a long time shes letting it be known of her pain her cry. So sad
Everyone turned a blind eye or played dumb.
Now we really see the reason she had to release a song like this.
Thank you Queen. 🖤
Realising this is her true story brakes my heart for her. 😢 Finally the queen is free .
Very emotional 🥲
Jah Know
😊 jah jah what a song¡! What a story... I AM GONNA TELL ON YOU ONE DAY, I SWEAR.
For real?
Truth is Freedom

She was very bold for writing such a song at a time when it was taboo to talk about such things in the media. A very sensitive topic but im glad she did. She gave countless girls a voice. And i hope the people who protected these predators felt like shit when they heard this song. It should have never been banned, that was a shit move by the government.
I didnt even know they banned the song!
It was banned?? That was a really shit move it's so
We all understand why music helps alot to Express their inner self
Always on my playlist...Listen to her growl and conviction and now we know...
Ladies please protect your children at all costs...No lock up the kids but have a sense of ppl around them ...
And BELIEVE the kids cause predators depend on that silence ❤
I always sung this as a kid and my mum told me to shut up now I know why😂😂
andre jason wiliams 😂😂😂😂.. still laughing 😂
father have to be a father

It all makes sense now... revelation! I wish her peace and blessings!🙏❤
I love her.... Her voice is raw and sincere.... She has a beautiful voice
Yes she has a gift.
Queen 👑 was brave and must be commended for putting her personal life experience
out into the world
in order to give backbone and confidence to those children 🚸 suffering in silence 🔇
to step forward and speak their truth
and get justice
She deserves a platinum award for this song because it is more than a song
“I am not as happy as I seem to be” my teenage life, they never knew. My older cousin. Queen Ifrica, I love you. If you’re the Queen I am your humble subject.
I think it deserves a Major award and should be distributed as widely as possible. I hope it is taken up by MOBO; Grammy; Oprah! Should be played in youth clubs. Nicely done. Heard of family friend misbehaving and now mum won't talk to him. Sending mum this video.
THIS SONG IS BEAUTIFUL AND SAD AT THE SAME TIME. THE VERSE:
"the long showers i take don't wash away the memories
why do i have to face these tragedies"
That is so true. What's done is done and NO ONE can give back your innocense!!
2023 and it’s still so powerful ❤

God almighty Mon your own child … there is a special place for people like you DM.
Serious tune Queen. Happens 24/7. Fyah burn the wicked. Jah!
Jah jah can’t believe this is your story. Me did have to come listen to it again😢😢
My god mi a tremble from knowing y she sang this
Beautiful song, bless her for having the guts to confront this subject in her art.
People who are victims of incest must be able to get it out in the open so they can begin the healing process and move forward with their lives.
Respect!
Wow tears a roll outta mi eyes !! Derrick Morgan fi just drop dung ..
I'm here after seeing she came out. Omg. Broke my heart.

Queen Ifrica + music = Healing
Jah, this hurt me. After she came out a few days ago I had to come back to this song. It was her own story😢
I had to come and listen to this song after her disclosure!!

Gave me good bump too
Thank you for putting out that song to make us mother's aware. Evil men do exist among the good father's big up Queen give thanks once again.
Like my comment if u came here to listen over the song after she told her story about why she sang it
Messed up
She finally told on him. So sad for her😢.
I pray that will heal from this experience.
Your live bring me back here queen😢. I pray for strength
What an inspiration. This song & video brought me to tears. Jah bless Queen Ifrica!
Here again after her instagram live🥺can’t believe this is based off her experience sighz 😢
After listening to her story I had to come back to listen 😔😔😔
I’m so sorry you had to go through this Queen. You were really telling us
did anybody that was young used to jam to this song then as they grew up they listened to the lyrics and realised how fucked up this is.
Still relevant in 2018.
Ami
Yes, more than ever
Ami,,,, Most people might not realized, but I'm happy that the musical back up is so simple and clean,, it didn't overwhelm the message..
will still be revelant in 3018 it will never stop
Always relevant, sadly
DTMIOW; Listenin' all the time - This is such a sad song and it even hurts me, but well done Queen - Maximum Respect 2U...Love and Peace to all...Jah Bless!!! One Love!!!
Beautiful song. I love my daughter and I will protect her.
This Been My Shit Since it Came Out😢❤
Nice
I wish that this could be shown to all young children, both girls and boys. They may get the message better as it comes in the form of video and song. They should be taught to report anyone who tries to molest them, this is something that should be instilled in them. We need more positive messages sent out like this. It is time to lock up these creeps who must molest their family members and children instead of looking for an adult to have an relationship with. Hats off to you Queen Ifrica.
Too many of us went through this, and the predators are still out here free. The system failed us.
sis you're a true overcomer. Jah bless
Very deep and personal delivery!
