Arie has always has positive Pro-Black messages throughout her self, from self-love to reflection, so “What If” is no exception. “What If” names drops important figures in Black History, past and present.

“What if Martin didn’t stand up/ What if Rosa didn’t sit down/ What if Malcolm didn’t man up/ Where would we be now/ What if Marley didn’t get up, stand up/ What if DuBois didn’t come to advance us/ And Mandela didn’t come to teach us/ Where would we be now
Arie’s upcoming album, Worthy, is set to be released February 15th, 2018. Pre-order her album here, and check out the video for “What If” below.
