"An artist's duty is to reflect the times." -Nina Simone
Thank you for being a true artist in these crazy times.
Although I agree, I don't think artists have any duty. No one should press them to take position or anything.
Grégory G. if someone has a following, they are likely to influence people. influencing people comes with fame, whether you think about how you are doing it or not. whether its a negative or positive influence. nobody needs to purposely influence positively, however if you have a platform USE IT.
"Art is not a mirror held up to reality but a hammer with which to shape it." ― Bertolt Brecht
@@dlokoko That's the problem I think with that mentality. Public figures can assist with a lot. Artists have such large fanbases they do have a duty to reflect the times we are in. That part of their social contribution considering that they wouldn't be where they are without the people. Its super selfish to think that they don't have any duty.we all do as humans
@@scarlettspage period
Jorja NEVER fails to impress
honestly no skips ever
KONO JORJA DA
Period.
accioHP HELLO FELLOW WEEB
I wish she would have worked on the "for you, for you, for you" --- in this song. I don't like it, and it really sticks out compared to how great the rest of the song is. She makes really good shit though, theres no doubt.
"if you can feel the pain then you know that you're alive" girl....you broke me
You don't need much
Her voice is angelic. Unique. Beautiful.
Been saying this for years 🔥🔥🔥🤩
Factss 💯
She has one of the best voices I have ever heard, I am a young producer and I decided to give her a hip - hop remix, I would appreciate it if you take a look at it, hopefully she can hear it :) ruclips.net/video/Ds0MdZ83Z_E/видео.html . Excellent song.

Very accurate.
She doesn't need a Grammy the Grammys need her
True
Couldn’t press 👍 as 100 was so appropriate. So there’s mine☝️
Drop the album, gurl. We need it
Ikr
who else thinks jorja should sing for the next James Bond film...because Damn😭
That's some idea!
Been saying this for a year or so! Thank god someone agrees😂👌
@@coreywilkooo8034 totally 😁 🙌🙌
Omg yes yes yes

Jorja got that type of voice that paints a picture for you in your mind
I would like this but I dont wanna ruin the 69 likes 💔
Facts
@@st4rmonii said emo and the depressed person
@@kaylaxorobloxyyyxo3124 first of all I'm not emo, depressed yea but what's the correlation to my comment? Dont know what u were trying to do but u failed miserably
Exactly. The ending of a story I was writing came from the inspiration this song gave me
I’m so glad there’s women in this world that sing as beautiful as Jorja Smith.
2020 summed up. we will not stay silent, our black brothers and sisters are STILL suffering, we must continue speaking out. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
And 2024
Just imagine a Rihanna and Jorja collab.
rihanna wtf 😂😂😂🤦🏼♂️
blinga 187 what’s the problem uh?
@@blinga1876 @lili et ses délires wanna say u something
man, dunno why but in the middle of the song my eyes broke in tears, damn.... so much feels and power in her voice and lyrics
understand the song guys!
she is telling us we should fight for our world!
IS THIS!!!
Missed this angelic voice in these dark times!!!✨😭 thank you ...
Stellar vocals
Every single song Jorja puts out is freaking phenomenal.
Anyone else think that she is the only one with no bad song ever?
Yeeeesss!!!!;
constantly think that
she defs has no bad songs but there are many artists like this also. no need to bring down others to give a compliment :)
@@SuperFartyman I don't think what she said counts as bringing others down...
Summer walker.
"they don't care about us" how much truth in this, do not rely in any kind of authority wich claims to protect you, they just give a f*** raise your voice up. Love jorja.
also gotta love the MJ reference
If her and Brent Faiyaz hopped in the studio the energy would be glorious
omg yess
For real 😭❤️
Just yesterdayyy
I'm already in love with this!!
Yes
Gorgeous voice, gorgeous women, gorgeous lyrics, couldn’t be more perfect ❤️
Am I the only one who knew from the title, what the song would be about? Jorja and I can’t be the only ones here who know about Malcolm X. This song is so beautiful and some of the lyrics are spot on to how it has felt to be apart of the protests, and how it feels to watch the world these days... especially this year
LYRICS:
[Intro]
(Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
So go ahead and fix your crown
Then watch it all burn in smoke, oh, oh
Go ahead and stand your ground
We're on the long road to freedom, oh, no
[Verse 1]
Too much time tryna figure out why
Too much time to be patient
All this time you be feeding us lies
Ain't no truth in your statements
Too much pain in these little white lies
You left here
All this time tryna figure out how
We still here
I take pride in the things that we've done
Side by side in the revolution
Won't stay silent for things that I love
'Cause we know dem nuh care about us
White men can't jump but at least they can run
Broke these chains just to put our hands up
They can never see the kingdom coming
You wanna see us all amount to nothing, no
[Pre-Chorus]
I can see your face, see the light in your eyes
I can see the change, feel the heat of the fire
If you can feel the pain, then you know you're alive
Both feet on the line
[Chorus]
By any means, I will fight (For you, for you), oh, no
By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)
By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)
By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)
[Post-Chorus]
I've spent too many days in my head now
Did you think we would forget, how?
Too many destinies, too many sentences
Read now, read now
See all this pain in the headlines
But I have cried for the last time
But know what happens, see
You would be blind if it was just an eye for an eye
[Verse 2]
And what if we changed the world?
We rise from the flames the victor
It's far from a perfect picture
I know we're sinful but we are human
Would you be grateful if you took my place?
Say my name (Say my name)
There is redemption in the steps we take
Say, one life and I'm gonna use it (Oh)
Innocent 'til I am proven (Oh, no)
One last chance and you blew it (Oh)
One last dance in the ruins (Oh)
So much hate in your movements (Oh, no)
Told me I couldn't prove it (No)
One last prayer for the sinners (Ooh)
You only learn what you witness (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
[Pre-Chorus]
I can see your face, see the light in your eyes
I can see the change, feel the heat of the fire
If you can feel the pain, then you know you're alive
Both feet on the line
[Chorus]
By any means, I will fight (For you, for you), oh, no
By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)
By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)
By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)
[Post-Chorus]
I've spent too many days in my head now
Did you think we would forget, how?
Too many destinies, too many sentences
Read now, read now
See all this pain in the headlines
But I have cried for the last time
But know what happens, see
You would be blind if it was just an eye for an eye
Obrigado ♥️
It’s on the video..
@@myapaul6395 two is better than one
Caterina Lucarini More is less sometimes
@@brandonparra9153 if you don't need it don't read it
the lyrics. the vocals. everything's great. she's art.
"Broke these chains just to put our hands up." Damn thats powerful
So no one gonna talk bout how fine that intro sounds? 🔥
Deep emotions, eloquently versed, and such beautiful and soulful vocals here...
i found her music recently, and all i can say is wow. she is truly unique and talented.
"if you can feel the pain then you know you're alive", really felt that
That crystallized voice is a perfect type of meditation, soul healing. This is a honey inside the ears, rare nectarine, cosmic blast of an art.. My God, if its an afterlife reward or if im in heaven already, please give me a sign.
I'm saying!
Where exactly her phenomenon hidden, how could she reach to unreachable. Maybe just the power in simplicity or she is unexplainable gifted angel sent by creator. Cant find right words or sentences to describe this, but this makes me type and type, share her art everywhere, to tell everyone cause im not a selfish, want just every human to listen even one of her songs at least once during his lifetime! .........
Can’t even find the right words to explain how much I love this song.
Can't wait how DOPE the visual version will look
SHE BACKKKKKKK

Hello
Thanks for your support and comment ❤️
Tbh just listening to your work like I didn't think there was anyone who could edge Sade on her pedestal, but there is. There is. Holy damn!!! The real can relate ❤✨
Jorja is such an underrated talent 🥰💖💖
She cannot drop a bad song, her voice, her lyrics, the music, fire every time
ONE WORD: AMAZING
Yes those background high notes are godly this song is so powerful I love it
"Both feet on the line, by any means i will fight... for you"
That's my vibe right there. Got skin in the game so I'm more likely to pay attention and take this seriously. If you are feeling down, I got you! 💞
And someone said “she doesn't do it for the likes, exposure, awards and fame. she does it for humanity and life. there's a difference and it shows”
This song is so amazing and deep. Shows how much she really fights for BLM.
Hello

Song of the year
If consistent was a person
Jorja Smith doesn't need instruments in her songs. Her voice is the music. I loved the beginning of her singing in Opera style.
mon dieu Jorja ✨❤️ cette voix
Been a fan for 2-3 years now its crazy to see how much she grown. Her and Kali
Jorja Knows what's Up, like Nina Simone said an artist's duty is to reflect the times, and jorja is reflecting what is going on right now, the BLM movement, yet some of you fail to see what she's referring to.
what entertainer isn't trying to capitalize on "blm" right now so yeah we knew what she was referring to before she uttered her first line it was obvious... you must be young
@@ajw21778 yeah well its sad that its just the artists of color who are writing songs on the matter, i was hoping artists who aren't colored would have took initiative and also wrote songs on the matter, but what can we expect when this society is filled with fake people, its up to the us people of color to stand up for ourselves, and yes i know there are white people who march with us during protests but where are the white artists? i see so many who support the BLM movement but still they haven'e wrote a song on the matter to further push the initiative.
(sorry for the long reply)
Not necessarily. This could hit different for so many people.
I’ve spent too many days in my head now ..... wow this is resonating so much with me right now !!!!
I feel like this song can mean so many things, from BLM, to by any means I’ll fight for you (yourself) when it comes to mental health, depression, anxiety etc. BY ANY MEANS ILL FIGHT ...to be ok!
Using her platform to raise awareness about what is going on in the world! Such a great person ❤️
MEU DEUS EH A PATROA!!!!!!!!!
