*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
COLORS h
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
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! 😂😂
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.
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 😂😂
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
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 😂🔥
that chocolate skin and that purple background, Lord Have Mercy.
Royalty😌🙏🏿💜
The control in her voice is everything omg 😩❤️
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
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
Singing with the Hand gun gesture, natural hair, and chocolate skin 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
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 !!!
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 😋😋😋😋

SO MUCH SOUL. I didn't want this to end!!!
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 😍😍😍👑

Discovered Ari from this video and finally got to see her live last week, such an incredible, once in a generation artist
Definitely the type of song you gotta finger point to !!!!
Her Debut album was great, the latest is even better, great great perfomer.

I noticed her nice legs when I saw her in concert last year. 😀
She's crazy beautiful 😍💕
I'm not crying y'all... Just over here chopping onions as usual.
😭😭😭😭😭
Her voice sounds exactly like the song. Queen.
Better actually, It resonates better to the ear.
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
Who told her to slay my existence like this?
Disrespectful!
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 😩😩😩😍😍😍😍😍😍
Her vocals, the soulful sound, the aesthetic created by the background and her outfit, one of the best colors performances
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

Damien Hawkes she is a goddess!!!!

Aye bro I already claimed this Queen as my wife
Marsellasm Call it brother...call it!😘
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. 😭
This might be one of the best recorded live performances I've ever heard. You can feel the soul and energy in her voice 🔥🔥🔥❤️
Gosh, I just love her. Her voice is so mellifluous 😍
innsaei milliflouous. Thanks for teaching me a new word haha

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.
That rhythm and range...her silky tone, popping’ curls ... 💋 perfection
Ari is Soul personified👏❤️
And that white outfit... girl...🥰
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
Man perfect song to perform 😭😭😭 song literally been on repeat for me.
X Savage is that.... Todoroki with waves
II Killmonger II YESSIR
Yasssssss!! 💜💜💜💜
Just realized her jacket is ombre purple....blended with the background well..
They always match the artist to the background so perfectly!
OKAY maybe sis did earn that soul train award
Ari is an ENTIRE vibe.
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.
_Shea Butter Baby_ is my favorite album of 2019 so far. No contest.
Damn she really blowing us all away. What a gift. 🌹💜
Such raw talent. She deserves it all ✨
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.
Done so effortlessly. Love Ari, if you haven’t seen her live do yourself a favor and get a ticket!!
She is a true majestic specimen of the Universe❤
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!! ✨🙌🏻
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!

" QUALITY SONGSTRESS " 100 %

The passion and SOUL in her voice is just so honest. I really love Ari ❤️👑 #teamAri
HER VOICE IS SO AMAZING AND POWERFUL AND SMOOTH. ITS CRAZY

Of my rewinds, love the emotion and notes she reaches! ❤❤❤
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
The talent jumped out, the beauty, THAT LEG HAS MORE TALENT THAT MY ENTIRE BEING
