Big GRRRL Small World es un álbum de Lizzo, publicado en 2015. El disco incluye 12 canciones, entre ellas «Ain't I», «Betcha», «Ride» y «Humanize».
Sobre el álbum
Con su segundo álbum de estudio, Big GRRRL Small World, la artista continuó desarrollando su propuesta, ofreciendo un trabajo más maduro, personal y musicalmente diverso que su debut. Publicado en 2015, este disco muestra a una Lizzo que empieza a fusionar su faceta de rapera con su increíble talento como cantante de soul y R&B.
Aunque el hip-hop sigue siendo un pilar fundamental, el álbum incorpora una mayor riqueza de texturas sonoras. Podemos encontrar influencias del góspel, el funk y el soul clásico, lo que dota al disco de una nueva profundidad emocional. La producción es más cuidada y la riqueza sonora, mucho más amplia.
Las letras se vuelven más introspectivas y vulnerables. Lizzo explora sus experiencias como mujer negra en Estados Unidos, la relación con su cuerpo y la importancia de la autoaceptación. El título mismo, "Big GRRRL Small World" ("Chica grande, mundo pequeño"), es toda una declaración de principios sobre el "body positivity" y el empoderamiento.
Mientras tanto, canciones como "My Skin" o "Humanize" son ejemplos perfectos de esta evolución, combinando la fuerza del rap con la calidez del soul. "Big GRRRL Small World" es un trabajo de transición crucial, el disco en el que Lizzo comienza a forjar la identidad artística que, años más tarde, la convertiría en una estrella global.

LA carolin' with Carolyn Caroline but I had to make it rhyme, I'm Addicted to that weather like heroin That is why I cannot give it any time, just say no! It's too good to me, you are too good to me O.D. on compliments, I need some oxygen So I dip to the PNW, some of ya don't need where that is - good! Need a little solitude with my crew 'Membering what's real is what makes you you, oh! It's too good to me, know it's no good for me I can't be out here homie, what it used to be Sitting in bed like "man! ", wishing Itching for days with no end Sound checks, checks in, audiences rapping Getting full of that adrenaline, eat it up like Satan You can't have it? Take it, you can't man up? K then Breaking up my cadence, got that willpower like Jaden, blaow! And we keep it going up Make it go around, around, again And we keep it going up Going up And we keep it going up Make it go around, around, again And we keep it going up Going up Flying into Paris with Sophia Eris Had a heart-to-heart over fresh croissant Wondering why these dudes be tripping She like "Girl I'm past giving a damn!" YOLO, guess that's why he want a photo Dressed in Polo, arm around me after the show But never there when I need hoes Open mind but my heart closed, ah! Where ya been? Back again, young man? I remember you from way way when You never gave it or reciprocated But when I bounced for my sake, you peeped your mistake "She left me" is always the excuse I swear there should be support groups for men without Lizzo Meet once a week and deal with y'all issues Google me and jack off in a tissue Yeah! You know what though? We keep it going up Make it go around, around, again And we keep it going up Going up And we keep it going up Make it go around, around, again And we keep it going up Going up I will never be the person that you want me to Feeling like I can't amount in what I'm 'sposed to do But I'm here now, like how this happen? Head in the pillows, I'm crunching on Cap'n I'm chilling, I swear I been chilling Taking a break, feeling hella breakable I was taught that life has no regrets and no mistakes, no no Bet I made some, granted But my heart cold bruh, definitely definitely granite Wrote this song halfway to Chicago Wondering if I should call you What, to make you feel special? Would it give me reasons to forget you? (Hey, you reached Lizzo. Leave me a message...) I'm out of state, out of time You more like out of sight, out of mind Yeah! You know what though? We keep it going up Make it go around, around, again And we keep it going up Going up And we keep it going up Make it go around, around, again And we keep it going up Going up - HumanizeI try, I try to try, and see the love through human eyes (Humanize me, baby) I try, I try to try, and see the love through human eyes (Humanize me, baby) I try, I try to try, and see the love through human eyes (Humanize me, baby) I try, I try to try, and see the love through human eyes (Humanize me, baby) My hands are cold My lips are tired, tryin' to blow (blow!) To give them warmth It's not enough, one heart alone Cannot suffice It simply can't, I've done the math But in due time There is no chance, for love I try to try (see the love through) I try, to try Your skin is warm It keeps me up though I am tired I'm tryin' to know What else? Why else has this happened? One man alone Cannot suffice, I've done the research Ignore the role Inside my bed, your lion features (no!) You can't lay on my shoulder There are spikes and scales And your cheek would just depress me (In) a heavy haze, we love it Love the taste of it, (you clench your jaw) We love it, (you love it!) Humanize me, baby Humanize me, baby I try! I try to try, I, I (see the love through) I try to try, and see the love through human eyes Who's gonna open the door? (By your side standing) (I will be there by your side standing) I try, I try to try, and see the love through human eyes I try, I try to try, and see the love through human eyes I try, I try to try, and see the love through human eyes (Humanize me, baby, ooh!) I try, I try to try, and see the love through human eyes (Humanize me, baby) You smell so good You're broke Broken

I stopped talking to my mama for three months No eye contact during lunch Wasn't nothing else around us but mountains and trees And my guilty worthless screams, "What was wrong with me?" Was the question, it was, it was "How could she?" What happen to a daddy girl when daddy don't exist no more? I guess we gon' see Wishing I could call you You know when that bell ring Angels get they wings Someone tell me we gon' Be alright but I think That I gotta be One deep One deep, one deep Dip my black body in gold (uniform) I just wanna shed (ice cold) Diamond crust (getting warm) Somebody put me on the soap box I got the voice of my kin folk, my mama Mama gave me blessings and then some I'm youngest of two, feeling like a elder Alone in my room, wishing I could tell ya "I love you", "I love too" The best of me only comes out when it's you But sorry ain't in my vocabulary Man you better call me You know when that bell ring I will be on time Someone told me if we Listen to our hearts then We gon' be alright (I'm ready) Four deep Four deep When I melted into your chest Just read this and think about it Talk to me in person - The Realest

Ooh, what's deeper than, what's deeper than the darkest best Kept secret? Beneath the surface, we could Let it bring us together, or it could tear us apart, oh I'm filled with it, I gotta love with no conditions Though it's hard to re-envision time and time again Even when, even when it didn't matter anymore The most beautiful thing that you ever seen Is even bigger than what we think it means Reflections in my bloodstreams, it's even bigger than I woke up in this, I woke up in this In my skin I can't wash it away, so you can't take it from me My brown skin Real world, big girl meets world A crazy position, now your dreams is your mission, huh?

I wanna-I just wanna enjoy my life now and maybe appreciate my skin... I woke up in this, I woke up in this In my skin I can't wash it away, so you can't take it from me My brown skin Oh, I can't wash it away No, you can't take it from me My skin, your skin, yeah! Oh, I can't wash it away No, you can't take it from me Ooh, my skin, ooh, my skin, yeah! This is something I was born with', you know? You can't buy this at a store, so hey...
