  • Girl on Fire, the fifth studio album by Alicia Keys, is out in stores now!
    It's been a while, I'm not who I was before
    You look surprised, your words don't burn me anymore
    Been meaning to tell you, but I guess it's clear to see
    Don't be mad, it's just the brand new kind of me
    Can't be bad, I found a brand new kind of free
    Careful with your ego, he's the one that we should blame
    Had to grab my heart back
    God know something had to change
    I thought that you'd be happy
    I found the one thing I need, why you mad
    It's just the brand new kind of me
    It took a long long time to get here
    It took a brave, brave girl to try
    It took one too many excuses, one too many lies
    Don't be surprised, don't be surprised
    If I talk a little louder
    If I speak up when you're wrong
    If I walk a little taller
    I've been on to you too long
    If you noticed that I'm different
    Don't take it personally
    Don't be mad, it's just the brand new kind of me
    And it ain't bad, I found a brand new kind of free
    Oh, it took a long long road to get here
    It took a brave brave girl to try
    I've taken one too many excuses, one too many lies
    Don't be surprised, oh see you look surprised
    Hey, if you were a friend, you want to get know me again
    If you were worth a while
    You'd be happy to see me smile
    I'm not expecting sorry
    I'm too busy finding myself
    I got this
    I found me, I found me, yeah
    I don't need your opinion
    I'm not waiting for your ok
    I'll never be perfect, but at least now i'm brave
    Now, my heart is open
    And I can finally breathe
    Don't be mad, it's just the brand new kind of free
    That ain't bad, I found a brand new kind of me
    Don't be mad, it's a brand new time for me, yeah

    This song speaks so much about my own life! It took one to many excuses to get where i am and out of where I came from but it took the brave girl in me to just try. And it s not gonna get easier but I just tell my self when I look back i'm gonna be more proud of myself then I already was! Faithh people..

    This is THE song. I have never seen Alicia Keys any stronger than how she was in this song. And it gives sooooo much inspiration to all the girls and boys out there who need something to lean on and look up to. People like me.
    And everyone makes mistakes, Alicia is no different from the rest of us---Human. Can't do shit but respect it and move on. :) Go ahead Alicia!

  • @aliceleona2790

    after a long heling time from seksual abuse, I found myself ! This song feels like my messages to every single soul I know. Finding myself made me loose many people who could not deal with "the brand ne me". People who could not deal with the fact that I got a voice, that I learned to respect myself. Even after listingen to this song more then 100 times, I cry , for all the people thar didnt bother to get to know me again.

  • @shanexxD
    @shanexxD Před 11 lety

    this here is a big tune,i'm feeling like so too searching daily, finding myself and understanding that when you make yourself too easy to deal with... people mistake it for " you are dumb" and need to be directed.when you sit and observe things thru you realize that their ego got the best of them and arrogance take over,then you see the deep folly that controls their daily routine.big tune miss keys,bless.

  • @Aletta24able
    @Aletta24able Před 11 lety

    "A brand new me" there comes a time when you need to shift gears and rise up. Forget what anyone said you were, what you capable of, where you will end up. You decide your destiny and if you believe there is a God, just know that destiny is a place where you will shine like you have never shined before. We have only one life to live, so we need to believe in ourselfs and reach for our dreams. Today im a "brand new me" who is not afraid to dream!!

  • @sammcclain8457
    @sammcclain8457 Před 11 lety +2

    I think the line is, " I've been under you too long," rather than I've been onto you too long.
    Makes better sense too with the line which precedes it, "If I walk a little taller..."

    The words are just so relevant to what I am going thru in my life at this very moment. I wonder what Alicia was going if when she co-wrote this song with Emile Sande. I thought she was madly in love with Swizz. Her singing is so convincing you would think she is talking about her song. Wow - she is simply fantastic! Thanks for posting
