*Lyrics*
[Chorus]
I've been smokin’ purple haze, ooh
All to forget about you
I've been smokin' purple haze, ooh
All to forget about you
[Verse 1]
And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try, I try
But I’m havin' the worst luck on Tinder
Ooh, why'd you have to be a big pretender
I try, and I try, and I try, I try, I try
To give you somethin' good, 'cause I know you would
Give it to me, too
[Chorus]
I've been smokin' purple haze, ooh
All to forget about you
Said I've been smokin’ purple haze, ooh
All to forget about you
[Verse 2]
But you lie, and you lie, and you lie, and you lie, you lie
Oh, it’s the 47th time that I've changed my number
Should call you Mannie Fresh ’cause you's the number one stunna
You lie, you lie, and you lie, and you lie, you lie
I gave you somethin' good, 'cause I know you would
Give it to me, too
[Bridge]
Don’t date these niggas 'til you're 43
A heartbreak gonna creep on after me
I try to cover up what I feel inside
You hurt me so deep and I...
Thank you for this.
... wanna cry"
Love the lyrics! ❤️🖤💛💚
*You hurt me so deep make me wanna cry, and I

Her voice is just that voice you can keep listening to because it’s just that perfect. She’s my shea butter baby 🤩
Seriously! give a listen to self love with Ari and Baby Rose if you haven't , both their voices on that track 😋😋😋😋
@@wldhddd500 Listening now! That joint is FIRE!!!!!!
sajaainlife yesssssss
I second this
yo my dude just said shea butter baby, you just killed me bruh bruh
The way she sings this with so much passion. Who hurt my baby ?!?!
😂😂😂😂
Right hold my hoops and pas me the aquaphor 😂😂
Right hold my hoops and pas me the aquaphor 😂😂
She is pistol whipping the hell out of the air with that finger ....lmao love me some Ari
For good reason too.
😯🥴😭
kymorameenah 😂
😂😂😂 you got me cracking up rn.
Yelp, her cadence.
Colors should have a festival
Thanks for the likes guys hopefully they see this and decide to have a festival with good vibes and underrated artist💯
That's the dopest idea I've heard in a minute.
People have been requesting this for a minute now. I wish they would make it happen.....
They do...well concerts
they should do a festival like
Lyrical Lemonade
Id definitely go to that
The fact that she sounds the same from the studio version. 😍😍😍😭😭😭😱😱😱🤯🤯🤯😳😳
There are like...... a handful of people who sound the same live. She's one of them.
Jared Greathouse shut up
Ja'Nae Lindsey exactly she’s so overly talented she has the soul and everything
The same and actually sounds even better here!
*Better than the studio version
The control in her voice is everything omg 😩❤️
that chocolate skin and that purple background, Lord Have Mercy.
Royalty😌🙏🏿💜
A COLORS SHOW: Where the performances are actually way better than the record version and the music feels more colorful!! Just the best y'all
JID's Workin Out sounds so good on this channel
shi77e I literally downloaded the Colors version of _Working Out_ last night. Probably my favorite colors performance, until they get Isaiah Rashad or SZA on here.
I thought the same. This was so good!
def !!!
Lol colorful, I see what you did there
Ari: "I.."
Me: *hits the like button instantly*
Immediately!! 😂
Makenzie B Expeditiously😭
Makenzie B 😂😂😂 this made laugh so hard
Yep! It was on SIGHT for me
EXACTLY! 😂😂
Singing with the Hand gun gesture, natural hair, and chocolate skin 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The way she’s singing with so much emotion😍 who did it Ari?? 😂
IS NO ONE GOING TO ADDRESS THE FACT THAT SHE'S IN HEELS?? GIRLLLLLLLL
Pearl Ashun why should we?
@@Agirl62 just saying she changed the game. It's usually sneakers lol
Pearl Ashun okie dokie
Pearl Ashun Are you saying she usually wears sneakers? Or people on this show usually wear sneakers?
@@BrotherMalMusic people on the show
It's refreshing seeing a black woman rock her natural hair😍
Queen's Palace its absolutely stunning!!!!! Natural always wins!!!
Boy is it!
It is! It’s been hard for me to wear my natural hair out but I’ve started to really love it this summer after getting so many compliments on my Afros and twist outs. It was hard at first because type 4 hair isn’t glamorized in the media at all. The pretty black girls on social media, music videos, movies, etc are always light with wigs or very loose curls like Zendaya. It’s nice seeing a girl who looks more like me being the “pretty girl” for a change
I love it
@@Feliciatanktop Don't hide your beauty, girl! I'm from Germany, have rarely seen black women idealised in the media or ad campaigns growing up and still completely fell in love with natural hair and curls later. Don't always care about what society tells you to like or look like, be yourself, and watch them regret their decision when they see you walking down the street 😂🔥
I always sing the "should call you Mannie Fresh cause you the number 1 stunner" line so hard lol i love her such a beautiful and crazy talented woman
god *DAMN* she can sing
Dreamville up in this mother........
And you know this!
Right, Dreamville is on point up in here. Love the talent & J Cole forsight. Raising the frequency.
@@frenchweewee4444 no doubt 😊
Smino and JID and Mereba all had their shot
whats yalls opinions of revenge of the dreamers 3?
who else has been waiting for years for her?
🙋🏾♀️
💁🏾♂️
MEEEEEEE!!! 🙌🏾😭
Definitely me. She animates my life.
Yup the wait is over😭
I apologize in advance, I have been sleeping on Ari Lennox.
Accepted
Welcome to the family, fam 🔥🔥 There's plenty of Ricolas, shea butter, and purple haze to go around
Same!! Not no more tho!!
Stay woke !!!
2:20 to the end is just so damn beautiful
her vocalizing is everything.. and the horns! u can literally feel it
*DREAMVILLE STACKED LIKE THE WARRIORS*
*most underrated comment ever*
🤣🤣
Kimberly Simms it’s a J. Cole verse if you didn’t know...........
Dreamville x TDE 💖
Sis...THE LEGS ARE GODLY.
Man when she hit me with this “ “oooooooohhhhhhhhhhh”
My kids will be conceived to Ari Lennox music. no cap 🙅🏾♂️🧢
She's so talented even the finger pointing touched my soul smh!
Her WHOLE body moving with every point!
Me too!!
LOVE the finger point
Jana Phillips she has a certain je ne sais quoi ❤️❤️❤️🌺🌺🌺🌺
Ari Lennox really transports you to another universe with her tone and melodies. I feel like I’m floating on a lilly pad in an enchanted forest at sunset. Vocal stamina unmatched 😍😍😍👑
Seeing her in December, can't wait.

@@rr770 as in I want her to also have a video on that platform
Saaaaaame.
Nooooooooooooo cap
She did one! It’s coming out in a couple of weeks.
Let's talk about that effortless stance! Serving legs for dayyzzz! Heels!!! Come thru Ari!!!
*We finally have a REAL musician, artist, lyricist on the loose!!!!* i'm here for it ALL
Discovered Ari from this video and finally got to see her live last week, such an incredible, once in a generation artist
Her Debut album was great, the latest is even better, great great perfomer.
Amen!
This is her debut album. She only released one ep before this
My room suddenly smells like coco butter and black excellence
Edit: Correction
Shea Butter and Black excellence 😭
This is legit the best comment in the vid. Also, YESSS ❇️
*Shea Butter
you call it black excellence. i call it fist fumes...
Rezy Roszalez both are still nutritious to our skin, it depends who though.
Qu AudioReact but shea butter would have elevated the comment because of her song Shea Butter Baby
I love Ari, her energy reminds of some good soul food
she’s like modern neo soul omgg
“Should call you Mannie Fresh cause you’s the # 1 stunna”
An underrated line. God I love Ari 😂
Pangea Soul so many good ass lyrics in this album though
🙌🏾
does the artist pick the color or does someone at colors? bc it’s always perfect
The Colors chose them. The artist is just expressions of each color.
Lavelle Andrae
Amazing concept.
The color is always in the lyrics
😄🤌☝RIGHT always JUST RIGHT ✅
@@YTPmjma uhm false.
Definitely the type of song you gotta finger point to !!!!
SO MUCH SOUL. I didn't want this to end!!!
Ari got the soul stone from the Infinity Gauntlet 💎
lmaooooo
Ivan Joven A lot of people won't catch it 😂
I clicked on this video by accident.
BEST MISTAKE I'VE EVER MADE. THIS IS GORGEOUS.
lolathetomboy me too... lovin it
Just wait till have a child🤷🏾♂️
King Hershey The Second lmao 😂
I swear i did too
When they cut to that full body shot at 00:13 to reveal the marvel that is this gorgeous outfit and her magnificent leg, I was knocked right out of my seat.
Exact same thought!!!! I was looking throughout the comments to see if I’m the only on who noticed 😩😩😩😍😍😍😍😍😍
He is singing with such passion, & pain knowing He has been in love & he knows heartache, in the end He knows love conquers ALL
Ari is such a gorgeous chocolate woman 😍😍😍 I think I’m in love
Damien Hawkes she is a goddess!!!!
Yea she’s so pretty ! She doesn’t have to try hard like most people
Aye bro I already claimed this Queen as my wife
Marsellasm Call it brother...call it!😘
Ahhhhhhh! Damn dropped my damn phone on my head when I saw this notification😂😂❤️
Jayzelle Boyce 🤣♥️♥️
Yesss!!!
How'd you drop it on your head? What was it doing above your head?
S-wo These are the real questions
@@s-wo8781 I was laying down with the phone in my hands hovering lol
Who told her to slay my existence like this?
Disrespectful!
“Don’t date these n*ggas ‘til you 43” 🤣 favorite part. Go off sis! 🙌🏾
A. Miller me too lol hits me in the soul every time
Then y'all end up lonely asf with 3 kids & 3 baby Daddy's ...cuz y'all "independent" LMAO HAHAHA

X Savage is that.... Todoroki with waves
II Killmonger II YESSIR
First saw her in 2017 opening for J Cole in London, years later 2023 I went went to see her perform in London and J Cole surprised her. My favourite live performer so far. What a time to be alive
You love them even more when they sound as good live as they do recorded. 😭
Gosh, I just love her. Her voice is so mellifluous 😍
innsaei milliflouous. Thanks for teaching me a new word haha
c12h17n2o4p haha, you’re welcome. I too not long just learned of the word from a book lol
innsaei This is why I need to start reading again lol
Love that word!!!
It means flowing like honey for those who don't want to google it.
@@man12345678912 what you said.
Her vocals, the soulful sound, the aesthetic created by the background and her outfit, one of the best colors performances
Confused as to how this video hasn't reached a million views yet ,,,? 🤔🤦🏽♀️why they sleeping on this queen smh #teamari
She's crazy beautiful 😍💕
This might be one of the best recorded live performances I've ever heard. You can feel the soul and energy in her voice 🔥🔥🔥❤️
Her voice sounds exactly like the song. Queen.
Better actually, It resonates better to the ear.
I didn’t even realize this was a live performance (was on autoplay on the TV while I was in the kitchen) until I heard the style change of the second “I’ve been smokin”
When I saw that vein pop and the finger pointing, I knew sis was serious
That rhythm and range...her silky tone, popping’ curls ... 💋 perfection
Ari is Soul personified👏❤️
And that white outfit... girl...🥰
NO GIMMICKS, NO TRICKS, NONE OF THAAAAAT! Support real talent. We love you Ari!
Yasssssss!! 💜💜💜💜
Just realized her jacket is ombre purple....blended with the background well..
They always match the artist to the background so perfectly!
She is a true majestic specimen of the Universe❤
Damn she really blowing us all away. What a gift. 🌹💜
You know, life is too short to be blocking your blessings like that, to be blocking potential blessings like that. Like yeah...
Delicieuxable you may never get married again, you may never find the love of your life, but hey... that’s life...
ouch this is hurting all so bad, all the things you both say...
Delicieuxable I think emotional abuse Is Way worse than physical ... sometimes Cause that can cause whole disorders
how can we stop them and make an end to emotional abuse?
prada preto It’s not about stopping them, it’s about changing you.
Aint nothing like a Chocolate woman in heels...Sweet Mahogany😏🍸🎶🎵🎙
Osirus Anderson right
Yeah I’m a have to archive that line for later
You reminded me a DBZA 😂🤣🔥💀
Ain't nothing like a black man recognizing and acknowledging a beautiful black woman
I noticed her nice legs when I saw her in concert last year. 😀
People sleeping on her omg 🥰 I love her voice and style. Natural black woman 😩
Such raw talent. She deserves it all ✨
Ari hands down got the best vocals I've heard in a very long time her music does more than just put a smile on your face it moves your spirit
If I could like this comment on premium then boo it would be a kill-zilllion!
Puuuurrrrr
🔥🔥SIS HAS ARRIVED!!🔥🔥😊🔥
I'm not crying y'all... Just over here chopping onions as usual.
😭😭😭😭😭
Ty for bringing this music back!!!!!! Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu And Jill Scott put together!!! ♥️
_Shea Butter Baby_ is my favorite album of 2019 so far. No contest.
Done so effortlessly. Love Ari, if you haven’t seen her live do yourself a favor and get a ticket!!
Yaaas yyyyyyyaaaas coco butter crispy bronze freshness 👑 take it baby 🙌🏾
GOOSEBUMPS!!!
" you lie... and you lie... YOUUUU LIEEEE"!!!!
Apart from purple being in the lyrics, it matches this whole vibe so much. Smooth yet soulful, yesss Ari!! Come thru girl!! ✨🙌🏻
I literally watch this several times a day! She is perfection!!!
Ari is an ENTIRE vibe.
It’s so crazy I watched an interview on her a few weeks backs and she said she never meant to be a musician and I’m like no sis you’re meant to be one
Speechless... 😳
You are gorgeous
My favorite colors ever😍😍😍😍😍
This is my second favorite song on the album next to “new apartment “. Sis is definitely talented.
I wish the last 30 seconds of this song could last 3 more minutes, those jazzy vibes are great
Masego is all over that album
Ari my ultimate girl crush. The right balance of sultry and sexy
Facts 💕💕💕
I love sangahs that put their whole neck and head into their sanging!!! I BEEN hits so hard for me!!
Jason Clark meee tooo!!!
I love this song and didn't know she performed this on COLORS. I hope Ari returns again.
When your voice live sounds just like your voice on your albums.....🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 #BeenaFan
The passion and SOUL in her voice is just so honest. I really love Ari ❤️👑 #teamAri
Y’all make WAY FOR THE QUEEEN❤️😍🥰🥰🥰 I love her so much
This made me a stan!!
She is just so wonderful the embodiment of soul and talent such an inspiration and a true artist
I can't say this is a better version because se sounds exactly the same😍👏🏾👏🏾
Her voice is insanely good. Sheeesh!!!
Wow. This is what shea butter smells like. she is so sooo good.
Finally but damn I wish she would have done whipped cream or Chicago boy those are my favs
the dance valley I know right. Whipped Cream would have slappppped😭
Chicago boy would’ve been lit asf 💯💯🔥🔥🔥
We already got the acoustic version of whipped cream and Chicago boy not really colors
They ain’t ready for Chicago boy lol
Kassidy Fudge right kassidy! 😂
Would've been perfect to hear BMO since she's about to drop the video.....but any Ari Lennox is good for me!
Jamar I was hoping for _Static_ but honestly any song would've been great.
@@BrotherMalMusic I love static but I don't think that songs shows off as much of her range as this song does. Maybe that's why she chose it 🤷🏾♀️
Brittany That's true. I feel that
I would of loved whip cream
So much vibessss in this!!!!! 🥰... The old new school melody takes me back and yet the lyrics are so now!!!! SALUT!
Have lost count
Of my rewinds, love the emotion and notes she reaches! ❤❤❤
She’s serious with that pointer finger motion. Love you Ari!
