In my country the Māori women will often cry out in song at funerals as way to honour and send off the dead. It’s always very moving and somewhat of a spiritual experience, the bridge of this song reminds me of that exact same feeling, This is more than a song! This is powerful ❤️❤️❤️

I cry everytime i rewatch this

inna lillahi wa'inna ilaihi raji'oon

Who's liking in 24?? Low key your biggest fan man xx 🎉❤ amen Amin my brother

this is sick

"They are immortalized forever, the only ghosts are us." Very powerful line...

I’m a 30 year old grown ass man and I can’t listen to this song without tearing up and crying. Such a sad tragedy and the thought of families huddled up together and burnt alive breaks me inside. Words can’t explain it. Big up to Lowkey for keeping the memory of everyone who died alive and never letting this tragedy be forgotten. Hands down best artist out there. Respect bro.

DO NOT FORGET THEM, EVEN THOUGH THE MEDIA HAS STOPPED REPORTING, PLEASE DO NOT FORGET THEM, I PRAY FOR ALL THESE FAMILIES.

English translation for the Arabic at 3:31 : "Tell me where to go // People are burning in the hour of sahoor (The meal for the opening of the fast) // I feel like I'm in another world, I feel like I'm in another world" x2 ❤

Lowkey produces Masterpieces

Ya Allah please give everyone who suffered terribly the highest rank in jannah😭🙏🏼💔

Lowkey and Mai are a formidable force of pure energy, it's just a beautiful duo, continue to rise, the world needs to hear your message through the best of forms music 🎶

Look how nobody is even talking about the fire anymore fuckin disgusting how the media have covered it. RIP to all those that died 🙏🏿

Still makes me cry. I remember when this was first uploaded that August - it got over 1 million views in the first HOUR.

*Lowkey is my brother! Peace & love from Palestine!*

0% sex 0% nudity 0% girls dancing in the video 0% drugs 100% talent

Low-key is actually my favourite artist of this generation.

I cant stop crying.... THEY BURNED MY FRIEND ALIVE! I miss you Amal, Hamme Amaya and Amna.... May all of them Rest In Peace! ps great song... thanks

2023 and this still gives me chills when I listen too it, this deserves so much more views

Artistically Lowkey's music is very underrated, on a global scale even. I believe Lowkey is the best artist of our time, of this generation. I can feel his music, creatively it speaks to me, his writing and his sound is authentic.

3:25 The Arabic part is so beautiful I can feel the pain and visually seeing that building behind her brings tears to the eyes!

Everyone in the video were volunteers after the fire broke out. They are all heroes and respect to Lowkey always keeping it real and making that food for thought music instead of that mumble rap nonsense. Lyrics powerful as always.

The Arabic lines are Tell me where I can go, people are burning at the hour of sahoor I feel as I am in another world

Years later I re-listen to this. Im from Denmark but worked in London for almost two years. I took the tube each morning from hammersmith to paddington. Driving by Grenfelll. I remember seeing the burning building. Children died!! I did not connect or understand while watching in the tube. Today, years later, I feel ashamed that I just went to work, a few miles from where people were dying. RIP

5 years today. RIP #Justice4Grenfell

the translation of the Arabic part of the song goes like this ( Tell me where to go, people are burning in Al-Sahoor time, I feel like I am in another world) ....Al-Sahoor is an Arabic word for the few minutes before the dawn time

I had to pause the video when they were reading out the names of the 'missing' victims, asking where they are. Especially overwhelmed with emotion at that point of the song/video. I'll resume once I've caught my breath. This was such a devastating, angering, but most importantly PREVENTABLE tragedy at the hands of injustice. The victims of this corporate manslaughter will never be forgotten. 😣💔

Every single person in that building was a hero...R.I.P my brothers and sisters, religion knows no bounds for the love of each other

Lowkey and Mai Khalil are both more talented than most of these mainstream artists... consistently making art

Lowkey is a different breed !!

That was phenomenal, a poetic master piece. The penmanship of whoever wrote this is just spectacular. Everything about this video screams quality, from the production value to the vocals, it is simply premier. To think of how criminally underrated these artists are is maddening. To know that this will never be played on the radio to be broadcast as freely as the typical charting auditory sedation that's doled out to the public like a grey misogynistic, hedonistic, subservience inducing gruel. This has really made me feel as though I'm in an Orwellian novel, more so than usual. I have an inconceivable respect for everyone responsible for this song, keep fighting the good fight.

Had chills the entire time listening to this. Love to my people in London, in England, and around the world. Don't let race and religion blind us from our real enemies, the politically corrupt... #CorporateSlaughter

Not a modern music fan, not a rap fan, never heard of Lowkey b4 this, but this is BRILLIANT. Where are these people? We need more protest songs. RIP those poor people.

This Was Needed!

I literally cried in watching this So sad and nobody in that tower deserved to die

Perfect example of lowkeys sincerity an tallent

Love x

I live in the north of England and feel a kinship for all my brothers and sisters who are suffering still a year on from the tragic events at Grenfell flats nr Chelsea London I think the most depressing part of this heartbreaking tragedy is it should never of happened, the tenants had reported the fire dangers and were ignored. Unless I am mistaken the only reason the building had been coated in that highly flammable cladding was so the rich fucks across the way had a tidy view. I am so grateful to people from the community who all showed such generosity towards their neighbours and lets face it the Government couldn't care less about the victims the ones we lost and the survivors who needed help and thankfully the local people showed their humanity towards their brothers and sisters and as a humanist I just love when we realised we have over seven billion brothers and sisters around the world and only our love for each other can protect us from those who preach hate like Mcdonald Trump so I have a message for my Muslim friends, عيد سعيد لأشقائي وشقيقاتي المسلمين eyd saeid li'ashqayiy washaqiqati almuslimin, I hope I got the translation right and for my English friends have a nice weekend.

A song has never powerfully moved me emotionally like this.

‘You can try to avoid us but it’s pointless, you can never avoid the voice of the voiceless Lowkey- Voice of the voiceless

Real music

3:55 onwards had me in tears, you really outdid yourself with this tribute to those people Lowkey and co

Goosebumps... the arabic is beautiful and lowkey delivered with the realness as always

WOW! MASTERPIECE! This should have at least 100,000,000 views.

This is devastatingly powerful. Compare and contrast with the Simon Cowell charity cover of Bridge over Troubled Water. While that clearly has a role, a sincere intent and will help by raising money, it also reduces the situation to something very safe and familiar - Red Nose Day tears. Meanwhile Lowkey uses humane and tender melodies to tell us about a still burning anger and a community in real pain. The lyric on "blood on your hands, ashes on your grave" - here sung so incredibly beautifully - is utterly unflinchingly brutal. Incredible work.

Just listened to this track again, every time leaves me in bits. Lowkey is a next level g. Balling my eyes out. One love to all. THE BLOOD IS ON THEIR HANDS.

An absolute masterpiece, one of the most important pieces of twenty-first century art.

This had me crying... one of the most powerful songs ive ever heard

[Intro: Lowkey] The night our eyes changed Rooms where, love was made and un-made in a flash of the night Rooms where, memories drowned in fumes of poison Rooms where, futures were planned and the imagination of children built castles in the sky Rooms where, both the extraordinary and the mundane were lived Become forever tortured graves of ash Oh you political class, so serve out to corporate power [Chorus: Mai Khalil & Lowkey] Did they die, or us? Did they die, or us? Did they die, for us? Ghosts of Grenfell still calling for justice Now hear 'em, now hear 'em scream Did they die, or us? Did they die, or us? Did they die, for us? This corporate manslaughter will haunt you Now hear 'em scream [Verse 1: Lowkey] Words can not express Please allow me to begin though 1:30am heard the shouting from my window People crying in the street Watchin' the burning of their kinfolk Grenfell Tower, now historically a symbol People reaching, from their windows Screaming, for their lives Pleading, with the cries Tryna reason with the skies Dale youth birthed champions Comparison is clear though That every single person in the building was a hero So don't judge our tired eyes in these trying times 'Cause we be breathing in cyanide, the entire night They say Yasin saw the fire and he ran inside Who'd thought that would be the site where he and his family died The street is like a graveyard, tombstones lurching over us Those shouting out to their windows, now wish they never woke them up Wouldn't hope your worst enemy to go in this position Now it's flowers for the dead and printed posters for the missing, come home [Chorus: Mai Khalil & Lowkey] Did they die, or us? Did they die, or us? Did they die, for us? Ghosts of Grenfell still calling for justice Now hear 'em, now hear 'em scream Did they die, or us? Did they die, or us? Did they die, for us? This corporate manslaughter will haunt you Now hear 'em scream [Verse 2: Lowkey] I see trauma in the faces of all those that witnessed this Innocence in the faces of all those on the missing list See hopes unfulfilled Ambitions never achieved No I'm not the only one that sees the dead in my dreams Strive for the bravery of Yasin, artistic gift of Khadija Every person, a unique blessing to never be repeated Strive for the loyalty of siblings that stayed behind with their parents Pray that every loved one lost can somehow make an appearance We are, calling like the last conversations with their dearest Until we face, what they face we will never know what fear is We are, calling for survivors rehoused in the best place Not to be left sleeping in the West Way for 10 days We're, calling for arrests made and debts paid In true numbers known for the families that kept faith We're, calling for safety in homes of love They are immortalised forever, the only ghosts are us I wonder [Chorus: Mai Khalil & Lowkey] Did they die, or us? Did they die, or us? Did they die, for us? Ghosts of Grenfell still calling for justice Now hear 'em, now hear 'em scream Did they die, or us? Did they die, or us? Did they die, for us? This corporate manslaughter will haunt you Now hear 'em scream [Bridge: Mai Khalil (Arabic)] Olooli win arooh Nas a'am tehtere'a fe sa'at sahoor Ahess ennee be alam tanee Ahess ennee be alam tanee Olooli win arooh Nas a'am tehtere'a fe sa'at sahoor Ahess ennee be alam tanee Ahess ennee be alam tanee [Speech: Lowkey & Various Voices] To whom it may concern, at the Queen's royal borough of Kensington in Chelsea.

I'm really happy a song was made for Grenfell and even happier Lowkey was the artist to do it. He perfected this video and ended it well. My friend lost his little cousin that night and I can't even imagine the trauma of everyone concerned - whether they were inside or the loved ones that live on. R.I.P to everyone dead and I hope the people affected find the strength to deal with all of this.

Now you can all admit he's the most realist rapper out there. Amazing track!

lowkey bringing people together, of all skin, culture and religion. and they will sill segregate us and separate us

Lowkey the realist!

I love the realness no make up no actors no agenda these are real people you can see the pain in their faces THIS IS REAL MUSIC!!!

This was powerful stuff almost got tearing up 😢😢

I love how the survivors are participating

No one makes me FEEL their music more than Kizzy. This was powerful. Keep spreading awareness brother.

MAI KHALIL YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL VOICE. MUCH LOVE FROM CALIFORNIA USA

Allah yarhamhum together! R.I.P all y'all, ameen! All up in heaven.

Allah yerhemou 🙏🏽

This should be no1 .

I like this style where all people are voicing lyrics ✊

when they're asking "where is ____" can't help but tear up.

"Oppression can only survive through silence". Carmen Today August-22-2017 this clip has 141,534 views I hope it reaches 500 k by 1st day of 2018 (Will share it as much as I can) Thanks brother Lowkey for raising the voice for the voiceless.May all those who died in the Grenfell Tower enter Paradise in Peace Ameen.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon

Mai Khalil’s voice is so powerful. When she sings in Arabic (I think it is) it touches my soul. Even tho I don’t know what she’s saying. & I don’t even have to mention Low-key. We need more rappers speaking the truth. Never forget 💙

I´ve listend to this 5000 times, how does this video only have 64k views?? youtube stop censoring real voices!! O POVO È QUEM MAIS ORDENA !

Lowkey is back!!! This was so deep, I visited the towers to offer my prayers and see if there was anything I can do. People don't realise how ghostly it is, may the people rest in peace and the families and friends of the victims be given shifaa, Ameen.

To this day it still brings tears to my ears

People hating on lowkey because he wants justice for the people who died are messed up

Mad how this didn't make it to the radios........ Just goes to show they are controlling everything. Ill leave it at that. Great song.

This has a "so solid crew - broken silence" vibe.

Powerful song. Good message. RIP all the Grenfell victims.

This video is the most heartfelt genuine song because all the people involved are living in the neighbourhood and felt compelled in their heart to help from the moment the tower went in flame. It is the natural progression, with creativity and truth that Ghosts of Grenfell will stand to justice and love in the history of 21st Century Britain...

Lowkey is so under rated, hes like the guy standing behind the throne nobody sees but he really does the ruling.

That list of names always kills me at the end, so many...

...maybe songs like this are too precious to gain the traction that they truly deserve🖤

Big up Lowkey. Powerful song and video. I have tears rolling down my face. I think about the Grenfell Tower victims literally everyday. I hope justice is served.

2024 and the effect of the artistic craftsmanship and musical grandeur still hurts me. I feel the pain

Four years ago today. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raaji’un

I do t think its relevant but am in rehab and lowkeys muaic is helping through tbis hard time respect from canada

Peace in love from United States My fellow freedom fighters

I'll never ever forget that image in my head...I was on the campaign pages on my old Facebook..Bless everyone wo died ❤️❤️❤️😪😪😪 And their families xx

I keep listening to this. Such a beautiful tribute to such a horrific tragedy. Mai Khalil's sings those powerful words so beautifully: "The blood is on your hands... there'll be ashes on your grave... like a Phoenix, we will rise..." 💔

Failing to hold back tears...

This is just stunning work: given that the 18.5 million pounds raised for Grenfell has been reserved by the great and good who have decided to mange the Grenfell fund away from the people for whom it was raised, when it should be immediately given to the survivors for mortgages, secure homes and compensation without question or assessment. Treating everyone the same: realising that the ideology that people who live in social housing are inferior beings also justified the idea of not building more council houses from the proceeds of council house sales. Anathema to the market economy that the conservative government idealised in the 1980's 90's and even the first labour government in 1997 didn't realise how important that social contract over housing was and is. Have some insight politicians and realise that your myths of superiority are just that and when the chips are down for you, you're just like everyone else, just like people who live in social housing and try to understand how they can make a decent way of life with some hope and a future where they live well and prosper.

LOWKEY IS BACK!

Lowkey is not just a rapper, he is a humanitarian activist. Saudi Arabian rapper doesn't do what Lowkey does.

'until we've faced what they've faced we will never know what fear is' always sticks with me

Lowkey is baaaack!... May ALLAH forgive their souls and reward them with Jannah . Ameen

Four years ago today. We will never forgive and never forget. Justice for Grenfell!

I listen to this every night, I have been haunted by the images on the news, the building going up so fast, seeing people alive at the top, like they didn't know. I write poetry and had to write to get it off my chest from what I remember, I hope you like it R. I. P Grenfell It's been 5 years on this anniversary That so many walks of different diversity Innoncent lives lost on a tragic night The embers falling was a terrible sight Dodgy decisions by trying to save some cash 72 lives went so fast, spread in a flash Could have saved lives by not cutting corners Now we're a nation of crying mourners The cladding caused it to be a firey furnace Bodies were cremated from the heat generated This was someone father, mother sisters and daughters To this day no one has been charged For manslaughter Not even the firefighters wanted to meet Theresa May After fighting a battle for over 2 days How can this happen in a Royal Borough Why was nothing checked and been so thorough The UK is diverse and we are proud to be one But why did we let so many die, it's so wrong I hope your all safe in a better place Let down by our government a national disgrace 72 lives lost, yes seventy two 72 lives lost, this one's on you 72 lives could have been saved 72 lives now all in graves 72 lives, so many families effected 72 lives yet so many neglected 72 lives because of your errors 72 lives gone lost together R. I. P Grenfell

This is such a powerful work of art. It moves me every single time I hear it (more times that I can count). It doesn’t need to reach millions of views to be significant. Since the dawn of time, people that made history, made it starting small, but their cause resonated over time. This will be heard, this will matter, the lives lost to “corporate manslaughter” will be served justice, if not by man today, certainly by Allah (S) at some point. Lot’s of love for the Grenfell community 💚

"We are, calling like the last conversations with their dearest Until we face, what they face we will never know what fear is"

Lowkey is one of the greatest one if not the greatest

LOWKEY ❤✊

This is such a powerful song. I feel every word to my bone, it's so soul touching and powerful. Support the voiceless, stand up for justice. Every now and then.

Jheeze the arabic verse 💯 Lowkey forever giving to the culture. Mad props brother.

I remember the past years where music would call to me, to make me feel good. To make me feel joy. Then came Ahmed. Then came Ghosts of Grenfell. And all of Lowkey's words from before each, in between, and since. Music means something different now. Not joy by default. It carries messages, joy or sorrow--there exists a message. Some makes me laugh. Some, like this, makes me just weep. Thank you Lowkey. You redefine everything everywhere you go.

Believe this will live on, idolized
