Jorja Smith releases “By Any Means” (Music Video). The single is is an anthem for the Black Lives Matter movement brimming with rage at daily manifestations of systemic injustices and full of love for the resilient people who bear the burdens.
Go ahead and fix your crown
And watch it all burn in smoke
Go ahead and stand your ground
We’re on the long road to freedom
Verse 1
Too much time tryna figure out why
Too much time to be patient
All this time you been 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’re 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
Cus we know Dem Na care about us
White men can’t jump but at least they can run
Broke these chains just to put our hands up
They could never see the kingdom coming
You wanna see us all amount to nothing
The concept is straightforward but still vital: the “By Any Means” visuals is a portrait of Black British people, their families and friends, filmed in their communities. It’s a much-needed reminder of the stakes behind headlines, punditry, and protests, and a refusal to compromise with the naysayers.
