Want It Back (feat. Patrice & The School Voices NYC)

Guts' song "Want It Back (feat. Patrice & The School Voices NYC)" is a powerful anthem that calls for reclaiming control and ownership of our world. The collaboration with Patrice and the youthful energy of The School Voices NYC adds layers of depth and urgency to the message. The song opens with a declaration of unity and cultural fusion, highlighting the blend of African, European, and Afropean influences. This sets the stage for a narrative that is both personal and universal, addressing themes of empowerment, resistance, and the desire for change.

The chorus, "Oh-oh it's now or never, Could wait forever-ever, Want it back, want it back, Our world we want it back," serves as a rallying cry. It emphasizes the urgency of the moment and the collective desire to reclaim what has been lost or taken. The repetition of "I’m a queen I’m a king, And I want everything" reinforces the idea of self-worth and the right to demand more from life. This is a powerful statement against settling for less and a call to recognize one's own value and potential.

The verses delve into the frustrations with the current state of the world, touching on issues like media manipulation and the cyclical nature of violence. Lines like "Same old news on the television, Switch it off, I cannot watch this with my son" reflect a deep disillusionment with the status quo. Yet, the song remains hopeful, with a belief in the possibility of change: "It only seems impossible until it’s done." This optimism is further echoed in the lines "Why be less when you can be more?" which challenge listeners to strive for greatness despite the obstacles they face.

"Want It Back" is not just a song; it's a movement. It speaks to the resilience and determination of those who refuse to give up, even when faced with adversity. The collaboration between Guts, Patrice, and The School Voices NYC creates a rich tapestry of voices that amplify the song's message, making it a compelling call to action for anyone who listens.
