hopefully yall know Jill scott is on tour right now, on the "big and beautiful" tour, get tickets at ticketmaster.com before they skyrocket, right now for her performance in DC coming up in march i believe they are around 55 bucks..and she may perform with such suprise guests as kindred, and bebe winans at each locale
Well with "I Need U", before the concert, I thought she was just talking about a guy that left her and how she was saying that she needed him. But she explained that it's a cry out for Black men and how we Black women holla "independent women" and us saying we don't need a man, and how that's just a front for the hurt because in actuality we do need our men. She was like we can love our boy children to death but we can't tell a boy why he "got hard" like a man could. lol
I didn't know "Petition" was talking about politics, I thought it was talking about relationships.
That's why I love some Jill Scott, because she writes about some real stuff. I knew what "I Need U" was about when I first heard it. I heard "Petition" for the first time in my English class. The first verse had us thinking about problems with a mate, but when she starts singing about clean air and fresh food...the look on my face was: :-s
Dats wats up. Jill is definitely da truth, she's jus so deep wit it but n a subtle manner. I luv her!! I'm bout 2 go cop her nu book of poetry. I've heard sum pretty amaze'n thngs about it.
