"High Rises"

A testament to her past, "High Rises" is Chika's ode to her younger self and the struggle to love yourself as you get older. Drawing on her experience as a young Black girl, Chika calls out the specific attributes that made her self-conscious growing up and muses on how "people will tell us to follow our heart and then look at us crazy when we live our lives." But just as she acknowledges her struggles to find her way, she also swears by her drive to make her dream come true, promising that she "won't stop till I ain't got to look at the tag, till we go out to eat and I pick up the tab." Though it's a shorter listen, "High Rises" is the perfect hopeful tune to remind you that there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
