[egyptsdaughter]

[yusuf1608]

[410IBleedMusic]

@TheIvyStar

"This" Jill is still here!

[410IBleedMusic]

God is definitely real. She speaks to people's soul. I know she speaks to mine.

[DrunkenPoetic]

Hitler wasn't keen on the Jews but even he didn't go as far as to deny them their indentities.

[NyTasha2011]

....If our ancestors can walk, barefoot in the dark...For miles, and miles, and miles, and miles, and miles. I know we can do this....Come let's start- Amen....Love You Jill!!!

[123yougottaluv]

@M15C1337 i don't think anyone was trying to say that this was exclusive for only black ppl. like you said though, it could be applied across the board, however, i think she was speaking from her history. jew did go through some of the same things as blacks, the only difference is the time frame. what the jews went through lasted from about 1933-1945, what blacks went through lasted for 200+ years

[theatricalharm]

@123yougottaluv What Black people went through lasted for over 400 years, and we are still suffering from it today. Make sure you get your facts straight.

[123yougottaluv]

@theatricalharm i believe i stated that what blacks went through lasted over 200+ years, (+) means in addition to, which means more than the number that was previously given. and i never said blacks were not suffering from it today.

[prettyisraelite1]

@123yougottaluv Blacks ARE the Biblical Jews (tribe of JUdah)

[adotinthecosmos]

I hope one day, when I'm old and all my dreams have been let go by a wallet that just can't hold a dime, that I can here a woman laying next to me singing that song.

[devore504]

i find myself just rolling around my house singing this like it just won a grammy lol

[ShannR414]

My favorite from her.

[pepec511]

I love you Jill

[JalisaPD91]

OMG i actually cried

[Icekul0113]

Beautiful...LOVE!

[scorpioyang17]

Just Amazing!!

[SonSolSkim]

Damn...  goose bumps anybody?

[keithdwill90]

you say.. lifes been hard on you.. well I got news.. it's been hard on me too

[ValueKicks]

i fucking cried, i never fucking cry.......shit

[YelloGator]

Pain,Heartbreak, and Redemption.

These are words that are etched upon my soul, ever since the love of my life was cruelly taken away from me.

We could sit in a room together without ever having to pierce the golden silence.

I must admit after being together for two months and never speaking a word to each other I shouldn't have been so shocked when I found out she was Mute.

But I believe we had many long and in depth conversations with our minds.

Maybe one day we will not speak again.

[cool504kid662]

She is truly beautiful

[HOSTELMAN23]

Beautiful

[gameshowluvr86]

My God... This is so, so deep...

[1920mmaa]

@madnegro69 LOL I like that.

[aletasage]

[ninosimone]

" if our ancestors can walk barefoot in the dark......." she got me there, too often we forget that our battles are not as bad as we think they are, so lets not give up and lets win and make our ancestors PROUD.

[Cuztymfit86]

Love me some Jill!

[kazigma]

THE WORD"S OF A REAL WOMAN!

[afroluv0708]

[sydjoba]

No one like Jill Scott. Apart from the notes and melody; there is a deeper, much more important message being shared. I hope it doesn't go over our heads.

[TechyTreckyNerd]

check this chic out she has a way with words @techytreckynerd

[PoetikThoughts23]

Shivers.

[middy444]

Absolute exquisiteness.

[datgalsplash]

the beat from the beginning would have made a nice instrumental for the song... from 0:04- 0:06 sound really good

[facesoblue]

NO Words...

[facesoblue]

No Words..



[nattynativekid17]

i love jill

[neisha3309]

I LOVE HER!! TRUE ARTIST!!

[Jazea2013]

Beautiful!!!

[djones1104]

"If our ancestors can walk, Barefoot, Afraid in the dark." She is amazin for coming up with this.

[TheAcstdesnhorw]

thats how she is,she is incapable of doing mediocre staff.

[M15C1337]

@Nfernandez48 Jill mentions slavery and segregation, most likely, this poem is for black people. I'm not saying you have to be black to be touched by this song, but it is for black people...

[sprinkleshouse]

@M15C1337 I must disagree. Slavery and segregation are not exclusive to black people. Remember Native Americans walked many,many fearful miles on the Trail of Tears and have been exiled to this day to small parcels of the land which were stolen from us. Similarly, Jews have faced the issue of slavery and almost every group in existence has faced hatred and bigotry. I think this work is for everyone.

[justbreatheify]

My goosebumps just got a bit of soul injected into them! Powerful and humbling woman!

[dre2274]

She is a beautiful example of art beauty and soul I mean not a lot of singers can do what she or fantasia or whitney or celine and lord mariah so much more too but music these days is missing some essence yeah they have good beats the meaning ...meh not so much but beautiful in her own way as to as the many ive listed above lol

[aka4god]

She is a wonderful woman. God bless you Jill Scott

[ponkinpi]

Me likey!

[M15C1337]

I'm tearing up this is just so beautiful, I'm not even black..dang

[nfernandez48]

@M15C1337 my brotha or sista? you don't have to be black to feel beautiful art...

[M15C1337]

@nfernandez48 Oh I know, I only bring it up because this song is really aimed towards blacks

[nfernandez48]

@M15C1337 I don't think it is only aimed towards blacks. I think it is aimed to whoever can identify with it.

[toretsblaby]

yall otha blacka dont respect each other still. u all just like to litsen and never do any Good for a fellow black.person. bit whites will help each other even when thwy dont like each other. u other blacks disgust me

[CTCreationz]

So glad I found this video again. MAN!! Get it Jill!!!! Speak!! Or should I say, SING IT! lol

[joker02026]

I haven't shed a single tear in over 10 years. This wonderful woman's words has completely broken me down and I just bawled my eyes out.

[permanentinc717]

@joker02026 i did the same when i saw dmx's...it tears me up that a man of that much skill struggles so much with his demons.

[i8killed8jacob]

@joker02026 u clearly need to see a therapist o.O....

[puertoricanswirl]

"so i wanna step off 'what was' and start with a 'right now'. you say 'the world just dont understand'. but i aint the world my love, im your woman. and i know how deep it really goes trying to tread on a dream when the water feels low.."

(pure poetry.this just became my inspiration for a lifetime)

[chubbycheeks353]

This women is something else, experience made her a better person to spread the message...

[HadassahsHeir]

@madnegro69 OMG, did you lose your manners before you logged on your computer?

[BrandiKBeddingfield]

@madnegro69 So what if she did...

[HPAnimeFreak]

@madnegro69 Her body's only that big because a skinny person couldn't withstand that much soul. Their bones would break.

[intellectualxx]

@HPAnimeFreak OOOOO U BETTER PREACH!!!

[sazz419]

@MrNicoleCherie

it's called Def Poetry because it was created by Russell Simmons who is one of the founders of Def Jam Records. He also created Def Comedy Jam.

[GeorgieHustle]

Jill Scott is so sexy

[VanBoogie]

what was the song playing as Jill walked on stage?

[SanEverett]

Some black people have made life good for themselves,got any songs for us besides this ol slavery depression stuff?

[trew9710]

@SanEverett why dont you wright some

[FreshFruitInc]

@SanEverett what's funny is you completely missed the point. she's agreeing with you. this song is about how we shouldn't get hung up on the past for the sake of our black children. since there's no denying that black people can make it in this world. fuck yo couch nigga.

[SanEverett]

@FreshFruitInc Yeah,sure,thats it, I know you been grieving lately about slavery...
