Noname Song 33
Noname has been very vocal on social media about the atrocities that have been committed to black people over the last few centuries. With the death of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks, and others, Noname has made sure to call out white supremacy and has even thrown jabs at those who have yet to speak up.
This past week, J. Cole addressed Noname on the song “Snow On Tha Bluff” where he expressed uneasiness over how she addressed those who have yet to use their voice. Many Noname fans were upset about J. Cole’s approach, and now, the artist has responded with a powerful track that clocks in at just 70 seconds.

Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, I have ambitions, dreams
But dreams don’t come cheap
[Verse 1]
I saw a demon on my shoulder, it’s lookin’ like patriarchy
Like scrubbin’ blood off the ceiling and bleachin’ another carpet
How my house get haunted?
Why Toyin body don’t embody all the life she wanted?
A baby just nineteen
I know I dream all black
I seen her everything, immortalizing, tweets all caps
They say they found her dead
[Chorus]
One girl missin’, another one go missin’
One girl missin’, another
[Verse 2]
But niggas in the back quiet as a church mouse
Basement studio when duty calls to get the verse out
I guess the ego hurt now
It’s time to go to work, wow, look at him go
He really ’bout to write about me when the world is in smokes?
When it’s people in trees?
When George was beggin’ for his mother saying he couldn’t breathe
You thought to write about me?
[Chorus]
One girl missin’, another one go missin’
One girl missin’, another one
[Verse 3]
Yo, but little did I know all my readin’ would be a bother
It’s trans women bein’ murdered and this is all he can offer?
And this is what y’all receive?
Distracting you from the convo with organizers
They talkin’ abolishin’ the police
And this the new world order
We democratizin’ Amazon, we burn down borders
This the new vanguard, this the new vanguard
I’m the new vanguard
