Little Simz "Gorilla" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 05. 2023
- When Little Simz heard the beat for her latest hit, "Gorilla," the British star knew what to do. "It sounds monstrous," she tells GENIUS. "It sounds boisterous." With that cue, she went off in her signature style, delivering a heart-pounding anthem full of confidence, nostalgia and empowerment.
That approach worked well, as the song has earned millions of streams across platforms as well as a dazzling music video directed by the legendary Dave Meyers. Produced by Inflo, the song is a standout cut from her 2022 album, "NO THANK YOU." On today’s episode of VERIFIED, get insight on why the British MC makes music for the future and not just for today.

Simz isn’t one of the greatest female rappers around, she’s one of the greatest artists in all of music currently
I’d say she’s the best of the last five years
LMAO. Tell us you don’t listen to good music, without telling us you don’t listen to good music
@@toziassmitt of women who are rappers, she is the best currently with no competitors
@@iamjuangeorge remy, Rico, Nicki, Meg, missy elliot, trina… the list goes on my guy
@@toziassmitt I said currently, and I know them all too, but I think you're just a simz hater
I'm honestly shocked that Simz isn't more well known, i'd argue she's one of the Best new-school rappers around right now.
Reminds me of the way how Lauryn Hill came into the scene. Like a Michelin star cook of female rap
Yea nobody cares😊
@@nomoresunforever3695 then why’d you comment. And why did you comment on the video that you don’t like it.
I think you do care, bud, you just try to annoy people online because you think its funny.
It’s not.
@khalewren2734 no. I mean the audience nowadays don't care if someone is one of the best rappers.
@@nomoresunforever3695 ???
this album really got me. every track i was like “yo she’s PREACHING” and the production is always on point.
Yeah production always on point because its inflo behind it, he also produces adeles music, Jungle (UK duo, not the genre), SAULT, Michael Kiwanuka...
Not that I'm trying to take any credit away from Little Simz (she's on a GOAT level)
alright then calm down mate!! totally get you tho shes cold
I’d do anything to go back and hear Gorilla for the first time again. What an unreal track.
Good point! I heard it first time two days ago and was blown away
I heard it for the first time yesterday, and it was like a breath of fresh air. Like something I didn't know I needed.
she write better than so many other artists, THE QUALITY she delivers every time. so underrated she deserves everything
One of the best to ever pick up a mic. Real ones know
Keep doing yo 1 2 baby girl i support!!! Tony Cleveland
Simz is amazing. She's gonna be a household name in a few years.
Already is in the UK
Facts 👌💯
Should be already. Arguably the best artist in the world over the last 5 years
@@CheeseyMilkshakes she’s really not tho- from the uk
@@CheeseyMilkshakes she is definitely not, though she is dope
She’s top 5 rn
last 3 albums all potential classics, she's incredible
@@matthewbanton7077 SIMBI was my second favorite album of 2021 just behind Navy Blue's Post Panic (technically late 2020)
100%
All time*
Easily 🔥 💯
Love how she spoke about Mac Miller, such an amazing song
Caught Simz opening for Gorillaz back in 2017, then saw her twice last year. The sheer improvement and growth has been delightful
That was the first time I saw her too 😱omg
Little Simz and Kendrick Lamar is probably the two best to ever have done rap, maybe even music!
I hope she goes on to do this forever.
THANK YOU!
wtf is this 🤣
@@cretentreane1454 Its a subjective opinion, what's the problem?
Fr though
Her past 2 albums made it to my top albums of the year.. she’s 🐐’d
Gorilla in 2 months was my 2nd top played track on Spotify after 7-8 years of using it. Waiting for the summer to crank it
Beautiful. 52 year old female here, used to be part of hip hop crew. You are so doing it for us. So pleased you're here, representing. x
“No Thank You” was the BEST rap album of 2022
Sometimes I may be introvert was epic as well she’s truly on her grind
@@cityofembre2028that was my fav tbh
"REST IN PEACE MAC MILLER" touched me🕊🕊
Shes direct, authentic and very talented. New fan.
i love how she lets the lyrics speak for themselves.
She is literally doing the opposite of that here
faaacts she's been here wayyy before venom and now years later a genius ayeee, she's a genius for real , one of the greatest artists! finally getting the recognition she deserves, i love to see it
simzi is so so special. gorilla is such a great song. top 5 from her to me
Little Simz is one of the most amazing artists ever. I saw her live and it was such an honor!
Little Simz has been the realest since Lauryn Hill🐐👑 Top 2 and she ain't 2.
lowkey tho!
"You ain't seen no one like me since
Lauryn Hill back in the '90s,"
Agree
We're living in the golden age of little simz right now it's a beautiful thing
simz discography has never missed
Can’t wait to watch how she explains her mind during her creative process or just the story
Appreciate her for giving mac props!
She is brilliant.🎉❤
came to say this.
@@firesports2963 ☆♡
Addicted to this song atm, always admired Simz, absolutely loved this video now I can really know the inspiration behind it. Bless you & your talent 🙏🙏🙏 phenomenal
Good god, i'm in love with this woman! her lyrics and flow are amazing and she seems like a really genuine person. Representing for the introverts too! I hope she gets the recognition she deserves
i just found her yesterday and im so in love with her flow *__*
You can hear the Biggie influence all over the flow of this song. I’m glad she said that. Shouts out to Brooklyn!!
Yep I could tell too. Where does she mention the biggie flow? I heard her mention the Warning song
This is my favorite song she’s made. I can’t escape it.
She's right. If this song and video was dropped by Kendrick it would've took over the internet for a week.
9:07 this has gotta be one of her best lines
Ufff her art!!! What an amazing human being 333 blessings to you, little sim zimma ❤
So so so refreshing to hear a genuine mc this day n age of hip hop. Simz got next💯. Stay true to you. Im 53yrs ole so i am hip hop and I recognize greatest because I have seen and lived it. Simz has all the vibe to be 1 of the greatest ✌🧡
My favorite song for the last few YEARS. I love when I have to THINK about the lyrics. What a brilliant artist.
upset I just found out this woman raps, and does amazingly as well.
This woman is hugely underrated. Simz I wish you all the best!
YOU BRING THE QUEEN OF UK RAP
The Queen of Rap Full Stop
Good to hear her thoughts on the track!!!! Great to see her thought process on her journey.... Well explained.... Kudos!
I love Simz so much ❤ her music is amazing and unique. She's soo good 🤌🏾
When she banged on her chest an image of herself and Janelle Monae on a track together flashed before my eyes.
simz is one of the best rappers in existence, I think we all know exactly why shes not as big as she should be...
Why?
i love this song, been listening to it all year and its still not old
luv u simz! i just adore her sm, SIMBI the album was my most streamed album of that year despite being a septembwr released. went diamond in house 💛
Beautiful. Super inspiring. Love her charisma!!
8:41 'yeah man... WOO' this cracks me up
This song is the one that hooked me inn, I've been memorising Simz lyrics ever since. I use her flow to set my tempo for the day 😎😁
LEGENDARY - nuff respect 👏🏽👍🏾
I've been waiting for this
I love her such a good artist!!!
her flow and rhymepatterns on this song remind me of yasiin bey's legendary freestyle in the park
Ugh she is soo talented, soo gorgeous
tbh Simz art moves me so much i end up crying half the time i listen
whole album awesome - this song bought me to it and her.
I could hear her talk for ages! ❤
I love the accent you have and I’d have to listen to the song to understand but it sounds banging
the first song i done ever heard from beloved.
i always knew who she was and one day i just decided to see what all this conversation about her was about, and oh baby, she is HER.
SHE IS REALLY AMAZING.
Amazing actor and singer
Truly love Gorilla, but Angel being the standout on this Album. "Don`t take kindness for a weakness" Angel will be 2023 to infinity for me. Thanks for shining a light on the ones that deserve it.
Great speaker. *3:30 artist drops Mac Miller and speaks about vulnerability in rap music. Excellent.
*7:25 She drops 'I know the streets will love us like I brought Mike Skinner' who observed that 'you can't con an honest man'. I like people who pay respect, I like to pay respect myself. This artist is dope. Take it from the man.
I love this girl. Her voice is so sweet
Her voice! Every syllable sounds so dope, even spoken acapella.
Easily top 3 in the world right now
why is she the best person ever
Love this!
The real queen of England
She's not wrong, I will still be bumping Gorilla in 2050.
Mac miller most definitely would’ve dug this chick and look for a collab, keep going little simz 🤟🏼
The way she snaps her fingers to the beat of the intro, so satisfying 🥲
Amazing
Already a legend! Queen!
She is HER ❤️❤️
Rip Mac 🕊️♾️❤
this sounds so effortless and yet so genius
cannot stress enough how good of an artist simz is
Gosh I love this woman and her art so damn much 💜
Simz is so inspiring!
Amazing lyrical poet🎉
top quality lyrics and flow.
Cool vid
Deep lyrics. She's just too good❤🎉
I'm in love
She mad fine
My favorite!
The uk rap queen
The rap queen
Listening to Gorilla and Point and Kill, music hadn't hit me like that in years. Instant obsession.
i love simz lyrics so much
Didnt have this feel since coloring book. This is such an all time great Album!
simz is my favourite female artist in the world, words can't describe her talent
Fabulously super talented. The only way is up up up..🔥🔥🔥✊🏾☝🏾
she's a legend. ALL her music is legendary, i adore you Simz
Simz is so underrated fr
9:04 big facts! been on the Simz train since Top Down dropped.
Starts with the brass, then the brass comes in during the middle, that's frikkin fantastic. The baseline is killer.
Maaaaan, Simz is amazing! So, so talented, and her confidence and perspective is something I’ll be showing my daughter ❤️
Little simz always DELIVERRR
Simz is one of the greatest ❣️
