Ladies Love Lyrics: Jill Scott

Jill Scott is B-A-C-K!!!! Her new cd "Woman" is everything I wanted and all the things I didn't even know I needed. She is singing her face off the entire cd. I love every song. Just had to share some of these dope songs and great lyrics with you. Get into it below and enjoy!!

"Prepared"

"I been reading my own journals
Checking to see where my head has been
And I been apologizing to some people 
Some bridges I needed to mend
And I been eating mor4e greens
Getting my body alkiline 
I'm gonna be super fine 
And I been letting
Been letting some old ideas go
I'm making room for my life to grow 
I just wanna be prepared
I just wanna be, just wanna be prepared
Getting myself prepared..."

"Cruisin"
"In my past I made mistakes because I was drunk on love
Too quick to trust 
Jumped in too easy
Yet we feel like we could be an us but my fear is strong though
I’ve seen no wrong
I hope I’m not dreaming
I can’t see myself waking in the morning with someone else but I can’t tell if it’s love. 
I need to know 
So I’m cruisin’ on the evening breeze to clear my mind take my time so I can breathe
Cruisin’ on the evening breeze to clear my mind take my time so I can breathe"

Ladies Love Lyrics: "I'm Not Afraid"

I just discovered this track by Ms. Jilly from Philly. The words are deep and amazing. I'm digging it. I just felt like sharing it. As a poet, I'm always about the words. They move me. So, upon reading the words, I had to YouTube the track. I was sold. I'm also kind of biased because I am a fan. She was the highlight of Essence Festival 2010 for me. Jill Scott gives a great show because she has great material, great voice and is just all around awesome personified.


The lyrics:
"I'm not afraid, to be your lady
I'm not afraid, to be your whore
I'm not afraid, to be your future
I'm not afraid, to be your soil
In which you plant your seed
Flowers, they sprout for me
My fragrance in the breeze
You must nurture me please

I'm not afraid, to be your baby
I'm not afraid, to be your strength
I'm not afraid, to be open wide
I'm not afraid, to be gluttonous."
