Lol not possible to single blacks out in my corner of the world, South Africa. Incidentally we still experience some of the worst oppression in the world. Mandela's movement had been turned into a corruption scheme, and those fighting for the people like EFF always get called out. But if they ever win an election, they're sure as hell also gone be sooo corrupt. Every day another state company is in crisis from that which was fine under apartheid. One crazy complicated country we are.
That part made me start tearing up. The thing that's frustrating is thinking that many Whites in that audience still won't even get it. Not in a way that they carry the thought with them in their day to day lives.
@@ctshabangu no. The song uses the n-word. A lot. A word taken back from us, white people. She’s saying not to feel bad that we can’t sing the song as white people because we can still enjoy the song and the rest of the privilege we enjoy, but the song was made for black people. It’s a beautiful lyric.
Yes, she is our therapy. Thank you Solange for expressing the thoughts in our minds in the most beautiful, unapologetic, and creative way. Much appreciated...
This performance is ICONIC! If you know anything about Australia's treatment of its Indigenous population and black immigrants, you know how iconic it is for Solo to be singing this to all these white Australians.
@@j.decole5372 A song dedicated to black people performed in a room full of white people who could never truly relate or be inspired to enact tangible change, yea thats magical.
Omg I would have killed to be at this concert. The way she performs it and reached out to the black audience members and sang directly to them. Ugh. It's heartbreaking how much commercialism ruins everything because her talent and artistry are at the very top of her craft.
I know this ain't right but I love how she singing a song to people who paid a grip for the show... Just to let them know THIS IS FOR US! * Not a racist just proud to be black
I always get emotional when I hear this song. It's so deep and so real for every black person on the planet. I am so proud of her because she unapologetically shows her love for her people/us. She has mad talent and deserves legendary status. B1 for life.
Any performance of this song always reminds me of that story of when she got harassed by white people at a Kraftwerk concert because she "didn't belong there", I always felt like this song was a response to that incident, in addition to the overall message of the song. So when she purposefully goes to the black people in the audience here (let's be honest there's like 5), it's really great to see.
I live in a luxury apartment and was singing loud. The police scated the mess out of me by opening my apartment door and shining a flashlight on me. Then a security guard that was with him asked me for my ID and or utility bill......in my own apartment. #SomeShitIsForUs
These color changes are giving me The Wiz vibes! "The colors red!" 😍💚💚💚🙏🏾 EDIT: Okay those horns going wild at the end felt like confirmation of a nod to The Wiz tho! 😘
MAN THIS WOMAN IS A REAL GEM I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS PUTTING OUT MUSIC LIKE WOW . I HAVE LISTEN TO ABOUT FIVE HER SONGS THAT I HAVE NEVER HEARD BEFORE AND MAN I"M LIKE WHAT!!! MAN BEYONCE AIN'T GOT NOTHING ON THIS SISTER SISTER WOW !!!😎👠❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I love how she just flawlessly continued to sing and perform, without having to cath a breath, without missing a beat and HOW cool was it that she just walked right up into the crowd
This song has touched me in incomprehensible ways since my ears were first blessed 4 years ago. All I could do was shed LOADS of tears and emotions watching this performance; the tears that my SOUL sheds each time I hear it, via the pain I’ve experienced mannnnny times over and over again, just simply being “US”. Solange, you’ll never truly understand what gift you gave US with this one. But then again, you do know sis. 😢
I love the fact that she looked for black people in the audience and sang to them.
She always does that. For Don't touch my hair too. I cried my soul out when she did that in Paris.

“Don’t feel bad if you can’t sing along, just be glad you got the whole wide world” Preach Queen.
the whole wide world from us, can't forget that part :)
meme819 my bad I thought she said this us
Basically speaking for those who cannot even speak because of disability
@@ctshabangu No this song is to black people. Not the disabled.

Solange is the real life definition of carefree black girl. And I love her so much 🥵.
Mee too.
Single greatest performance of the new millennium.
God greatest gift.
She’s spent her entire life in her sisters shadow… If she gave a shit she’d have a pretty miserable existence.
What I aspire to be
Love how she created moments with black girls in the crowd. So dope to watch.
I love her she is definition of black therapy
Haha Herby what do you mean when you say black therapy? ❤️
she really is yo😭😭🤞🏾
Yes, she is our therapy. Thank you Solange for expressing the thoughts in our minds in the most beautiful, unapologetic, and creative way. Much appreciated...
Beyonce: I’ll take Cochella 💅🏾
Solange: Yass, I wanted the opera house 🙌🏾

Fearlessly performing this with a predominately white crowd 😍. I love you Solange. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Great song and great artist but there's nothing magical about that.
@@dbd254 Yes it is considering what the song is about.

This is what no name was complaining about.
Kem Goodwin AN ICON
Her singing to the natural queen in the audience really made me tear up.
It was beautiful to watch 😍
Sat here right now with tears in my eyes when that part came on.Too deep to explain but I'm sure you no x
Me too
Yeah I thought it was hormones making me emotional but that shit was beautiful
Same here.
ALL MY NIGGAS IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!!!
Omg I would have killed to be at this concert. The way she performs it and reached out to the black audience members and sang directly to them. Ugh. It's heartbreaking how much commercialism ruins everything because her talent and artistry are at the very top of her craft.
Yea, and her sister is the poster child of commercialism
Oxymoronic successful siblings
Her artistry is honey.
I know this ain't right but I love how she singing a song to people who paid a grip for the show... Just to let them know THIS IS FOR US! * Not a racist just proud to be black
you don’t have to explain yaself, we gotchu!!!! period!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✊🏾
What’s understood definitely does not have to be explained!!! It’s for US!!!!!! She means that this is my therapy song!!!
Love how she is seranading US in the audience.
brings tears to my eyes every time i even think about it. I think if she sang those lyrics to me I would just break down and cry
@@niamhheron5587 same
love LOVE how she's come into her own true artist
Pure therapy she has provided for US!
She is a true artist
I felt that love. My eyes started watering. That has never happened to me. Ever.
Same here! 🖤🖤🖤
I Shed a Tear ❤🖤💚 2024 This was Beautiful!

I was there!!!! and it was truly even more incredible in person - can confirm. The whole room was lifted.
Whew. That horn section ❤️
I can't explain how this song make me feel. 'This shit is for us' Love u solange
This song is for us ✊🏾

She sounds so good live. It’s like she doesn’t even have to give any effort
That band is incredible omg, their lung powerrrr is unmatched
Solange is a national treasure 😍
Saw her do this at a festival and it was truly black excellence
Johannesburg South Africa awaits your magical presence 😍
Lol, trust Solange to pull a Solange on a planned appearance.
@@katisop5991 After big sis pulled through, it's only right for Solange to follow 😅
I'm surrounded by white folks telling me how to be at work, this song is power, reminding myself to be... Me, always
Me too, especially when it comes to my hair. I love wearing my natural hair comb twist, they love when I have the straight hair or long braids.
Absolutely love how she sings directly to black women!

That's ridiculous! But I'm glad you survived what could if been a tragic situation. Stay safe Q.
This song makes me feel so prideful an tearful watching her vibe with the black folks in the audience
Can we just admire how she intentionally went into the crowd to sing this song to her people 💔😿 this shit is for us !
These color changes are giving me The Wiz vibes! "The colors red!" 😍💚💚💚🙏🏾 EDIT: Okay those horns going wild at the end felt like confirmation of a nod to The Wiz tho! 😘

To be Af Am is a unique experience and this song embodies the feeling I love that song and this live was lit!
