My husband shows me everyday. he is an intelligent, God Fearing man who loves me without question. he builds me up and supports all my dreams even when i think they are foolish, He is a perfect definition of a King and it is an HONOR to be his queen. He can articulate how he feels and is an exception to what black men are portrayed to be..He acknowledges my strength, in fact it is his that enables me to be strong..LOVE YOU EVERLASTINGLY MY ETHEREAL ONE..
The answer Jill with this brotha is a resounding....YES...this is my song to the women in my town, kuz women do a lot of hurt and dirt too....I need my faith replenished is sistaz...I love brown suga like nun other...nothing else really satisfies my appetite...but a good black woman is jus as hard to find
She know she did the damn thing with this! Keep fighting warrior I know ya there, Keep fighting warrior I know ya there, Keep, keep, keep, keep, keep, keep, keep! Dang she hit that note!
Sometimes our brothers get lost and we can bring em back home with love, compassion, understanding, patience and respect. But first we must have all these for ourselves! I love this girl, she brings it home!
Let me say, I have always loved this song and hoped that one day I would be able to truly understand these lyrics....well, today is the day and now is the time baby, Restoring my faith in brothers....HE IS!!!!!! Yes Jilly!!
i def know what shes talkin about.. " your words are love but u push me away" sometimes a person gets a bit big headed when they know u are into them, or they are afraid they cant live up to your expectations, its about letting go of that ego and givin in to your lover. we women just want to know we are loved.
i remember buyin this in 2000 when it 1st came out and tellin my uncle about her and he looked at me like i was crazy 11 yrs later he all in her shit! TOLD YA SO
First time I heard this song (11 years ago) I had to put it on repeat and listen to it for 2 HOURS. It was crazy. It's just something about this song that gets down in your soul and grabs you.....
ONE OF MY FAV JILL SCOTT SONGS!!! I cant express how much i luv this song. Its powerful lyrically and vocally and its sooo sensual melodically (that bass, hmm hmm hmm hehe : ). Rollercoaster of emotions wen i hear this song. Jill will always be one of my favourite artists of all time!!! Great song, great album!
I LOVE JILL SCOTT, SHE AMAZES ME WITH THOSE VOCALS... also lovely ppl, can u please go take a look at my videos? i would luv 2 get your feedback... thanx in advance :)
This is a powerful song and brothers can't deal with the things she asked like " can you trust me on all things, can you map your position, can you replenish my faith in brothas or can you be cool with my strength. Show and tell boys. They can't do it. So whats the point.
"...U constantly talkin bout how much you love me, want me, need me, u told me, stop talkin. no more conversation. neccessary. show me show me show me show me show me show me show me show me show me... shoow me shoow me shoow me shoow me..." if I needed u 2 replnish my faith in brothaz... could u do it?..." There's no 1 like J.I.L.L. S.C.O.T.T.
One of the best songs I ever heard. Proof: well I put this song on repeat one night with then my girlfriend, who is now my wife of nine years. Lets just say over 40 weeks later my son was born!!!!
@PUNCHDRUNKSAADIQ, I don't know if we will be able to handle that! hahaha. That would be an awful lot of power on one song. The thought gives me chillls.
God continue to bless Jill those end vocals sound like an INSTRUMENT....powerful voice then strong range,,,WHEN YOU AND ERYKAH GOING MAKE A SONG...? [jilly from philly]
@gunlover2010 Preach.... just preach. I understand what you mean because her voice, and lyric perspective makes me think of all the women in my family.
If I asked you to trust me on all things could you do that?? Jill Scott was speaking the TRUTH.....don't tell me SHOW ME.....if I needed you to REPLENISH my faith in brother's could you do that?? Some talk the talk...but it's another when your willing to put forth action.....I AM LOVING THIS BLAST FROM THE PAST.....Thankyou for the post.
It makes the soul feel real good when I search for a song on YouTube and find people who feel the exact same way I do about it. This is one of my favorite songs period. So much info in 4:11. I know you can dig it...
ohhhhhh boy now this right here is my song! the moment that bass line kicks in, i'm hypnotised! this song is sooooo smooth and absolutely on point, lyrically and melodically! Jill never seizes 2 amaze me with her music..
Odd, I thought I had listened to all of her songs on YT, but somehow I missed this one. It's great, what else can I say. The sound is wonderfully black, round and deep.
@LolaJay1 Yup.. the first album was classic.. I find that a lot of Neo Soul artist first albums are always their best works.. India Arie, Musiq Soulchild, Anthony Hamilton, John Legend ect.. not to say there other works are not great, cause they are, peronally I love all these artist first albums the most.
i remember riding on the bus in 2001 going back to college, i used to repeat this song crazy this song always do it for me. i wanted to be the one she was talkin to, jill is so dope for this and many maore songs.
I was in middle school when this album came out and i love it to death . I use to go to sleep listening to this song. This is one of my all time favorite songs. This song has always given me chills. I'll Never Stop Fighting For Jill.
i remember this track from her first album. classic. when she asks "if i needed you to replenish my faith in brothers,could you do it? that sent chills down my spine the first time i heard it. i was thinking to myself, Jill is the truth and i still say jill is the truth LOL
there here tune is tellin all the brothers out there to be MEN of thier WORD. (... cos we all know that if that was all some of em had then they'd be speechless due to a helluva lot of inaction.) She's saying stop talking about what your gonna do & just SHOW ME,help me to maintain the faith I have in your potential......keep fighting boy i know you're there. This song speaks to me in 1000 ways--only the wonderful Jill Scott!!!
This track is sexy, erotic, inviting, mysterious and oooh, so much more. I played the brakes off of this song when I got this album. And I wished somebody would've asked to borrow my Jill Scott CD...HELL NO. This album is an automatic classic in my book. You could definitely conceive a lovechild off of this.
She's the MOSES of the Music Movement! Soulful, poignant, wide-ranged, uber-expressive! She's not pointing any fingers in this song--rather stating her needs honestly and humbly challenging the prospective partner to rise to the occasion of opportunity presented! I am going to listen to this today instead of giving my loved one grief for some relevant misunderstandings we're experiencing right now. It beats blastin him out! (lol)
If I needed you to be cooooool with my Strength...... Could you do it?? Show ME......
