The clarity, honesty, emotions and the detailed transparency, so courageously powerful she places in every word and space between the words elevates us all. Jill is a giant poet of our time. I love love love Jill Scott and how she is constantly creating and recreating an improved happier self.
Black folks at its best....lyrical, smart, poetic, swagged out..THIS IS HIP HOP! I feel sorry for some young people who cannot diffrenciate REAL hip hop VS what we have now. Somebody BRING THIS SHOW BACK! BET, TV1, MTV, VH1......SOMEBODY!!!!!
Fuck the networks and cable media conglomerates. They ain't gonna do it, and if they did that wouldn't do it justice. Netflix should bring it back. It'd be fuckin awesome. Wtf is Mos Def doin rn? Im bouta hit his ass up on twitter n ask if he'd be interested...
When I heard this I felt as if Jill had wrote about a conversation she had with me. Every word embodies who I've been and where I am going. What I've experienced personally. I felt as if my best friend took one of our conversations and put me on blast ever so tastefully.
This really made me cry because I felt like I've been struggling with that throughout my life, just trying to be something for somebody else and I finally got to the place where I can be something for me! And do something for me because that's what I like !I love this poem I really do
WOW! This is my first time ever seeing this or even hearing this performance. Literally crying (not tears of sadness) I felt each and every word God bless Ms.Scott. This is why I write to leave an impact on others and contribute to the transformation that is needed in the world.
thank you for sharing LeeLee0314 and thank you Jill Scott for being the Brave Bold Voice for those of us still struggling to acclimate to the sound of our own voice.
Now 43. I discoverd Ms. Jill Scott when I was 19-20 or so. I listened to her debut album front to back and back again. Her music, poetry and artistry is simply beautiful. To this day, she's one of the most beautiful souls I've discovered.
Jill Scott spoke her truth. We all should take a step back and think about ourselves and how we do things in life put self first be true to self and all things are possible.
Beautiful . This is my idea of a perfect woman , I may never meet her in this life or the next but her music moves me to a point where I think she is reading my mind ! My attraction to her transcends the sexual and takes me to a place where I can see the beauty in all black women , especially the one that I have been blessed by God and Her to be called My Empress !!!!!
Im sorry but I feel like that you think, here of all places, under this poem, it’s appropiate to make phrases about „perfect women“.. I feel like you need to listen to the poem again and understand why I think that’s not the time and place. If there ever was any time and place where it’s appropriate to say women have to have this and that attributes to be perfect. Also I know you said this 10 years ago so lots could have changed in your opinion, I’m just leaving this here as a general thought.
@@Streets0fLondon I think you misinterpret my thoughts ......then and now perfection is based on the "completeness" of an individual and their ability to recognise their perfect imperfections ........I may have been a bit linear in what I wrote (even now because in using the word "completeness" I'm placing unintentionally a geometric form to an abstract thought.........in essence ......I agree with what you're saying as well...........Salutations.
nice luving it I like 2 freak feel like im getn my life togather then I freak out jus feels right when it feels right feels wrong when things r wrong hope everything gon b iight
I too was speechless when I first saw/heard this. I swear, I thought she was talking about me. It still kinda 'hurts my heart' to watch this sometimes.
I always tell men that if you are having casual sex with a woman she is doing it because she is broken. There was something or someone in her past that broke her heart so bad to the point that she accepts having casual sex because either she has number herself to the point that she has blocked getting emotional or she will accept any comfort from a man because she is lonely. The majority of women like this don't have a strong male role model that reinforces her being worthy of love. I know alot of men don't care and sleep with a woman because she is easy but would they want their daughter or sister, or mother being treated this way.
@Young Legend Dear sister, i just wrote a poem about women's worth and strength and beauty and purity and all there is to them, and it happened that i needed to find a voice of a broken woman in me so i can perform it. And i happen to like going through the comment section to see how people receive this content, i came across yours and that is exactly my conversations to my friends. And always call me gay for airing out how i feel about the mistreatment of somebody else's daughter. I love you and thank you very much for this. kOMAPE SEMENYA FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
@@komapegamaliel3250 Actually there's a big difference between being sexually LIBERATED, and being sexually EXPLOITED. Don't confuse the two, as a lot of women tend to do so. If a grown woman consents to casual sex, that means she made a conscious adult decision to partake or submit herself to the act. That doesn't mean she was mistreated just because there was no emotional attachment on the opposite end. Sex is apart of life. You're either with it or you're not. Either way it's an ADULT decision.
Women who submit to casual sex, make the conscious decision to consent to doing so. Just because a guy doesn't want to fall in love with them doesn't mean she was deprived or mistreated. In other words, just because there's no emotional attachment on the opposite end, doesn't mean she was mistreated. Especially when she willingly participated. Men don't have any control over their daughters, sisters, or mothers bodies once they are GROWN. So if they choose to partake in such acts, they know that THEY are the ones making the conscious adult decision to do so. Don't claim victim mentality when you're not as desired as you think you are.
"Everything is everything" - Lauryn Hill "Nothing is for nothing" - Jill Scott. 2 Beautiful phrase by 2 beautiful women.

Her words make me realize how important it is to love and respect yourself before a man can.
This poem brings me to tears, it's so down to earth and honest
Jill always Keep it true and real...
Fuck the networks and cable media conglomerates. They ain't gonna do it, and if they did that wouldn't do it justice. Netflix should bring it back. It'd be fuckin awesome. Wtf is Mos Def doin rn? Im bouta hit his ass up on twitter n ask if he'd be interested...

This made me cry because this is me

That's why Jill Scott is to forever be respected
This really made me cry because I felt like I've been struggling with that throughout my life, just trying to be something for somebody else and I finally got to the place where I can be something for me! And do something for me because that's what I like !I love this poem I really do
Struggling not to be the 3rd generation of lonely women. Snaps to that!!!
Jill Scott is so beautiful, and the fact that she is so intelligent just makes me fall in love with her.
"What I like is all apart of what I am" I love you Jill!
WOW! This is my first time ever seeing this or even hearing this performance. Literally crying (not tears of sadness) I felt each and every word God bless Ms.Scott. This is why I write to leave an impact on others and contribute to the transformation that is needed in the world.
Jill is the type of artist that will make you get that, "You got to get uuuuugly for Jesus!" face and shake your head! TOO DARN GOOD!
this was me too, this literally touched my soul..smh😢
Beautiful delivery!
Every time I listen to it I cry😭
Powerful, powerful words, Miss Jill Scott.
She spoke to me with this poem . And now I have someone that is worthy .
I need to listen to this everyday
Damn made me say mmm... And then I cried becuz I know a girl locked up inside struggling to be free. Instead she's what everyone wants her to be.
"Selling my soul for emotional game ".
Gain*
Gain not game

I don't relate to this personally, but god damn was that a well constructed poem.
She needs to receive more praise than she's getting now.
She should put this and the sky ain't a ceiling in songs
