Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No more, no more
I ain't gonna be the kind that does what she's told
No more, no more
No man owns me I belong to God
I'm just passing through on this earthly star
So no more, no more
I ain't gonna let nobody mean treat me me
No more, no more
I ain't gonna be the kind that don't make a scene
No more, no more
I don't care about rebuke and scorn
I've been strugglin' right along since I've been born
So no more, no more
Do you hear me? Never, no more
I ain't gonna let nobody mess with my mind
No more, no, no, no
I ain't gonna be the kind that's deaf, dumb, and blind
No more, no more
No it makes no difference what the cause may be
No more struggling and striving to be free
So no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no more
No, no, no more
No more
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no more
Hey, yeah

Mm, no more (no more)
Oh no more (no more)

The lyrics to Jazzmeia Horn's song "No More" express a powerful and empowering message of self-assertion and liberation. In the first two stanzas, the singer declares that she will not allow anyone to "mess with my soul" or dictate her actions. She asserts her independence and autonomy, declaring that no man owns her, and that her ultimate allegiance is to God. This sense of spiritual grounding and inner strength provides her with the courage to resist external pressures and social norms that would constrain her freedom.
The third stanza underscores the singer's long struggle for self-realization and the obstacles she has faced due to societal expectations and prejudices. However, the singer remains undaunted and determined to live life on her own terms, regardless of rebuke or scorn. The repetition of the phrase "No more, no more" in each stanza reinforces the singer's resolve to break free from past constraints and assert her own voice and agency.
Overall, "No More" is a celebration of personal freedom and self-affirmation, set to a lively jazz rhythm that conveys a sense of joyous liberation.
