im really feeling all these UK artists recently, i never realised i loved their accents so much. i hope the world wakes up from sleeping on little simz. loving her vibes, lyrics and sound.
[Verse 1: Little Simz] Oh, broken homes and lonely souls is all they know All they've shown is courage despite the circumstances Time is passing by, stars command the sky Don't play dumb by asking why You already know how all the stories involve Came here on my own, former that we leaving alone Put my feet in the studio and call it my home While others have got no way out How blessed am I? Nothing left to find Your life's on the line, don't question mine Take my advice, don't stress in life Arms out to you, you can rest your head in mine I'm prepared to fly with no landing I might just be the last one standing They should know that Simz ain't ramping I came to show there's more, I'm expanding Still on my lonesome Give a fuck, I'm chosen Bit of luck and a wish, maybe we'll get there But for now, I'm zoning Somewhere in the air, I'm floating They will not control us This the type of shit that ain't never gonna sell Man, you shouldn't have told us that Nah, you shouldn't have This the type of shit that ain't never gonna sell Man, you shouldn't have told us that Nah, you shouldn't have [Hook: The Hics] I'm crawling up these walls But they won't come down, no, they won't come down I'm tearing at the core Till their words drown out, till their words drown Clawing at the heart, the trust You take the little pieces, covering up my soul I'm just a fool in your game My life, your prey [Verse 2: Little Simz] I ain't never had a chance to do what I love Ain't nobody ever been encouraging me I just stay indoors, wishing and dreaming Maybe in another life, it will happen for me I put all my energy into feeding my kids Do they appreciate the sacrifice I made for 'em? No, their daddy ain't around and I have to make up excuses As to why he hasn't yet came for 'em, oh lord Why did you pick me, lord? What is it that you can see in me, lord? I'mma write this down, something to report No air in me, I'm learning to breathe more How I feel insane, the effect is a glass ceiling Do it cause I love it and not cause I'm tryna make a killing Hell no, saying what I like, you can tell so And if there's a problem, hit me on my cell phone Know a couple brothers talking through a jail phone On their best behaviour but still walk it hibernal, shit's fucked No, I don't owe you nuttin' Talk that talk if you're gonna do something If I was in this position like a year ago I probably would've fell off like a year ago Fill my pockets, yeah, it's money that we run alone But fuck that, tell my people that I'm coming home I'm coming home, boy [Hook: The Hics] I'm crawling up these walls But they won't come down, no, they won't come down I'm tearing at the core Till their words drown out, till their words drown Clawing at the heart, the trust You take the little pieces, covering up my soul I'm just a fool in your game My life, your prey
Frantz Fanon is a french writter from Martinique ! It's a pleasure for me to know that this amazing artist knows a great writter and thinker (not muc known) as him ! :)
Your all I listen to at the moment I'm going through alot lost both my parents to cancer in space of 3 years and my dog in between them both then my house and then my boyfriend left me with my mental health issues I have now. I hate even saying that. I sound like one of those people. I'm just so respectful to you and your music your an ace your a queen. A goddess. I'm so glad I have your music to listen to. Along with other beautiful musicians. But your amazing and your ambition. I hold on tight.
Students are occupying schools in São Paulo - Brazil for the government not to close them. Government and police do not give a fuck and are starting to act aggressively towards the kids. The world should keep an eye on it too.
this song made me cry so many times. I found it as a coincidence at a nightly RUclipssession. I had to hear it again and again and texted to my friends "do you know that???"
*chills* I love this song, and all the feels so much! Simz, I've kept up with your sound for a bit now. You have grown as an artist tremendously. Everything you drop is completely worth it all. Amazing. Never stop being you. Much, much love from KY. Xx
She snapped! I'm from us but I randomly found this girl and I haven't stopped listening to this song since I discovered it. Know all the words. Keep it up girl

Question is usually ask who's the best artist in the UK it,s got to be King Simbi by far she's on a different LEVELS!!from the rest. Especially what's happening around the world we want the TRUTH no more bubble gum glossy music it's time for change. Those who can step and those who can't step aside period.
i didn't know her but she did a song during stormzy's show in paris this was really awesome. i feel so glad to had the chance to see her perform at this show now, she's such a great artist
This is me after coming across 101 fm and discovering such a wonderful talent.. now I'm making sure I hear everything from Little Simz, so I can sound like a real fan
Man I love this song,so beautiful, so intelligent,the delivery and message Strong lyricism...amazing instrumental and dope lyrics....this was def queen
This song is amazing. The only problem with her it's a subject like this should not be actual today. We are in 2017 and we still have work to do. I don't understand all the lyric because I am French but get the message and what I feel after listen his..
I first heard u on Soundcloud.Love your rap. Listened to Gratitude and Dead Body. You are brave. When are you coming to Los Angeles? Best of luck on your travels.
The world is so much bigger than I.
Much love Simz one of the greatest in our time.
That chorus is something else boy...
SSX God 96 factual
The harmonics of The Hics make some beautiful eargasms.
So powerful.
You never disappoint. As a South African university student. I find this inspiring!
Long Live Little Simz! I stay being a growing fan!
Onthatile Mokoena it’s on record! Power to the people!
im really feeling all these UK artists recently, i never realised i loved their accents so much. i hope the world wakes up from sleeping on little simz. loving her vibes, lyrics and sound.
cutekinoko I hope the world wakes up like how little simz is telling us to
The music that will never sell... PROVING THEM WRONG. Yesssss Simz, you are not looking so little now.
It all began in South Africa. Love this country to my veins. Big love to Site C Khaylitsha.
as a south African myself I'm really happy they included actual footage of some of the marches
Finally music about real things. I love this song Simz
Can’t believe she came to South Africa 🇿🇦 💪🏾💪🏾
[Verse 1: Little Simz]
Oh, broken homes and lonely souls is all they know
All they've shown is courage despite the circumstances
Time is passing by, stars command the sky
Don't play dumb by asking why
You already know how all the stories involve
Came here on my own, former that we leaving alone
Put my feet in the studio and call it my home
While others have got no way out
How blessed am I? Nothing left to find
Your life's on the line, don't question mine
Take my advice, don't stress in life
Arms out to you, you can rest your head in mine
I'm prepared to fly with no landing
I might just be the last one standing
They should know that Simz ain't ramping
I came to show there's more, I'm expanding
Still on my lonesome
Give a fuck, I'm chosen
Bit of luck and a wish, maybe we'll get there
But for now, I'm zoning
Somewhere in the air, I'm floating
They will not control us
This the type of shit that ain't never gonna sell
Man, you shouldn't have told us that
Nah, you shouldn't have
This the type of shit that ain't never gonna sell
Man, you shouldn't have told us that
Nah, you shouldn't have
[Hook: The Hics]
I'm crawling up these walls
But they won't come down, no, they won't come down
I'm tearing at the core
Till their words drown out, till their words drown
Clawing at the heart, the trust
You take the little pieces, covering up my soul
I'm just a fool in your game
My life, your prey
[Verse 2: Little Simz]
I ain't never had a chance to do what I love
Ain't nobody ever been encouraging me
I just stay indoors, wishing and dreaming
Maybe in another life, it will happen for me
I put all my energy into feeding my kids
Do they appreciate the sacrifice I made for 'em?
No, their daddy ain't around and I have to make up excuses
As to why he hasn't yet came for 'em, oh lord
Why did you pick me, lord?
What is it that you can see in me, lord?
I'mma write this down, something to report
No air in me, I'm learning to breathe more
How I feel insane, the effect is a glass ceiling
Do it cause I love it and not cause I'm tryna make a killing
Hell no, saying what I like, you can tell so
And if there's a problem, hit me on my cell phone
Know a couple brothers talking through a jail phone
On their best behaviour but still walk it hibernal, shit's fucked
No, I don't owe you nuttin'
Talk that talk if you're gonna do something
If I was in this position like a year ago
I probably would've fell off like a year ago
Fill my pockets, yeah, it's money that we run alone
But fuck that, tell my people that I'm coming home
I'm coming home, boy
[Hook: The Hics]
I'm crawling up these walls
But they won't come down, no, they won't come down
I'm tearing at the core
Till their words drown out, till their words drown
Clawing at the heart, the trust
You take the little pieces, covering up my soul
I'm just a fool in your game
My life, your prey
Thank you for taking the time to write the lyrics 👊🏻🙏

Powerful! Much love from New Zealand, I'll be buying tickets the second they go on sale if you ever come to New Zealand Queen!!!

"Talented"
Unfortunately, the shit music gets all the attention :(
who else gets them goosebumps when the chorus hits
just when I thought I couldn't love her more she goes and shoots a video in SA
Such a beautiful song, and The Hics NEVER dissapoint!
We need more artists like this.
All music that's positive and not evil is. The best. The rest is crap
This song is amazing. The only problem with her it's a subject like this should not be actual today. We are in 2017 and we still have work to do. I don't understand all the lyric because I am French but get the message and what I feel after listen his..
A girl has no name the video is set in SA where students are protesting for the fall of school fee. it's a current issue in South Africa
touching my soul in 2017 and beyond.
I first heard u on Soundcloud.Love your rap. Listened to Gratitude and Dead Body. You are brave. When are you coming to Los Angeles? Best of luck on your travels.
had this on repeat
this is beautiful, her best song IMO
