This song makes me cry. When my mother died this song came out and I fell in love with it. It hurts but I love it. Rest in Peace, Paradise and Power mom.
I knew this song when it came out (2009-2010 if I'm not wrong) but today (2023) I've listened to the opening words spoken by Marcus Garvey and realised we, as humans, are more powerful than we give ourselves credit. "One civilization is not complete without its art The highest form of expression of human intelligence You have have become complacent Sitting down and allowing the other nations to run away with everything You have become a bunch of consumers You are creators Rise up, mighty people, and accomplish what you will Without confidence you're twice defeated in the race of life" - Marcus Garvey. I love you Queen Ifrica ❤
Six demons did not like the truth! I met Queen Ifrica at Bob Marley's birthday celebration in St Mary and even though she was about to perform she took time to talk to me, take couple photos and believe me she is 100 percent sincere and possess a wonder spirit. I love you Ifrica all the best keep blazing the fire!
Never been so proud. Ifrika keeo up your realness both physically and lyrically, not only in this track but in most of your tracks you are mostly realistic
This song is sooooo REAL this is conscious reggae makes you think about what world we live in now. We are lucky to have had such strong motivational and inspirational people that have helped change those oppressed days and without them we would be in very different situations. "It's times like this I'm missing our heroes, it's times like this I really wish they were around " Those lyrics are just EVERYTHING! 2016
Reggae songs are full of message and what we are encountering in our socities....They always relay everything as they are happening and condem evil..Much Love Queen ❤️
One of the best songs on the planet from a Jamaican...it is a song full of truth, lessons with a powerful message...I remember when I first heard this song...it reached into my soul and it still continues to have that impact on me...big up Queen Ifrica...you done know...nuff respect...
One of the best artists of all times. Keep spreading the positive message sister. We need more strong woman like you. Love and Respect coming from Abu Dhabi.
Brings tears to my eyes every single time. To all those in the struggle, every race, color, and creed, your pain is not in vain. There will be a brighter day!
Lovveeee this song with a passion!!!!! In 2021 still get cold bumps We don't have no more conscious music like this anymore. I think she is very underrated. You are still an empress in my eyes.. bless up sis.
This song gave me chills, almost tears in my eyes because of the words. The words is hard hitting and is a wake up call to all humanity!!! We need to love each other, that it, just love each other!!!
people stop complaining about her voice. Her voice is what sets her apart from the rest. The grit and realness in her voice is what makes all of her songs a big tune.
This song should be a theme for the Caribbean, African, and other struggling nations in the face of social, economic, and political upheavals. Unfortunately, the current generation doesn't like the truth. This song pierces through the heart if you listen to it keenly. This song should have hundreds of millions of views. Big up, Queen Ifrica!
Yesss, we are seriously in trying times now. This is not what our ancestors nor what those who fought to pave the way for us had in mind. We the people truly need to change and stop allowing OURSELVES to no longer have a voice.
it's her voice that's makes her different. ..to change that is to sound the same, I personally think it suits her approach an her lyrics an image!! Won't change a thing! !

"One civilization is not complete without its art

A very underrated artist.
Big up the Queen
True
she is rated. the issue is that we like slack/violent songs.
True her and Tanya Stephens
th-cam.com/video/DzGyQNycp8g/w-d-xo.html freestyle sweet music
She is telling women to keep their baggy on, that thing not be sold. Hence, little or no ratings.
This girl can do no wrong, respect to all women.
That was then...now you should see her pon tiktok...
Her voice is very powerful I love her music
Six demons did not like the truth!
