Jill Scott - A Long Walk Lyrics

Jill Scott - A Long Walk Video

You're here

I'm pleased

I really dig your company

Your style, your smile,

Your peace mentality

Lord, have mercy on me

I was blind, now I can see

What a king's supposed to be,

Baby, I feel free, come on and go with me

 

Let's take a long walk,

Around the park, after dark

Find a spot for us to spark

Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation

Share our situations,

Temptations, education, relaxations,

Elevations

Maybe we can talk about Surah 31:18

 

Your background, it ain't squeaky clean

Shit, sometimes we all gotta swim upstream

You ain't no saint, we all are sinners,

But you put your good foot down to make your soul the winner

I respect that

Man you're so phat,

And you're all that

Plus supreme

Then you're humble

Man I'm numb yo,

With feelin'

I can feel everything that you bring

 

Let's take a long walk,

Around the park, after dark

Find a spot for us to spark

Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation

Share our situations,

Temptations, education, relaxations,

Elevations

Maybe we can talk about Revelations 3:17

 

Or maybe we can see a movie

Or maybe we can see a play

On Saturday

Or maybe we can roll a tree

And feel the breeze

And listen to a symphony

Or maybe chill and just be

Or maybe

Maybe we can take a cruise

And listen to The Roots

Or maybe eat some passion fruit

Or maybe, cry to the blues

Or maybe we could just be silent...

Come on

Come on

 

Let's take a long walk,

Around the park, after dark

Find a spot for us to spark

Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation

Share our situations,

Temptations, education, relaxations,

Elevations

Maybe we can talk about Psalms in entirety

 

Let's take a long walk,

Around the park, after dark

Find a spot for us to spark

Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation

Share our situations,

Temptations, education, relaxations,

Elevations

Maybe we can talk about Psalms in entirety

 

Or maybe we can see a movie

Or maybe we can see a play

On Saturday

Or maybe we can roll a tree

And feel the breeze

And listen to a symphony

Or maybe we can chill and just be

Or maybe

Maybe we can take a cruise

And listen to The Roots

Or maybe eat some passion fruit

Or maybe, cry to the blues

Or maybe we could just be silent...

Come on

 

Let's take a long walk,

Around the park, after dark

Find a spot for us to spark

Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation

Share our situations,

Temptations, education, relaxations,

Elevations

Maybe baby,

Maybe we can save the nation

Come on

Come on...

Jill Scott - Do You Remember Lyrics

Jill Scott - Do You Remember Video

Oh honey

Why you got to be so mean?

Don't you

(Don't you remember me?)

Oh baby, baby

You and me, you and me, you and me

We build sandcastles in the Serengeti

(Don't you remember me)

You splashed my face with Nile water

Daughter of Diaspora

You named me, claimed me

 

Do you remember me?

(Do you remember me?)

Do you remember me?

(Oh)

Do you remember me?

(Me)

Do you remember me?

 

Remember playing pinball right on 23rd street

(K-I-N-G)

I was there, I remember

When you got your first pair of sneaks

(Oh they are phat!)

Mmm Converse I think

 

(Do you)

I remember you swore you were so big and bad

You walked around like your mmm didn't stink

(You can't beat everybody)

But I was there always been there

I remember that it did, ooh it did

 

I remember you lovin' me

It was so beautiful

(Magical, wonderful)

I remember loving you

So good, so good, so good

 

1 Do you remember me?

 

Repeat 1 till end in background

 

I mean, for real

Don't you remember those days

Way back when we spoke K Swahili

It was you and me

See, remember playing hide and go freak

I was that one you were born to seek

And I'm still here

 

Getting down, getting down

Getting down, getting down

Getting down, getting down, for you

 

Getting down, getting down

Getting down, getting down

Getting down, getting down, for you

 

Yeah

Jill Scott - My Petition Lyrics

Jill Scott - My Petition Video

You say you mean good for me

But you don't do it

You say you have a plan but you just don't go thru with it

You say you know the way to go

And I should follow

But all of your empty promises

Leave me hollow

 

And oh

How do I trust you

How do I love you

When you

Lie to me repeatedly

And oh

How do I have faith, in you

When you just don't come thru

Like you say you could

 

Oh, say can you see (2x)

 

You say that I'm wrong for

Stating my opinion to you

You say that I'm wrong and there'll be quiet consequences too

But I know my rights babe

There'll be no law abridging

The freedom of my speech

Or the right for me to petition for a remedy of grievances

 

And I want to trust you

I want to love yeah

But you lie to me repeatedly

And oh I want to have faith in you

But you just don't come thru

Like you said you could

Oh say can you see

Hmmm

 

I want fresh fruit, clean water,

Air that I don't see

I want the feeling of being safe on my streets

I want my children to be smarter than me

I want, I want to feel

I want to feel, I want to feel free

For real ya'll

I'm just telling you so you know

I want to, I want to have faith in you

I really do but you keep lying to me

It hurts

I believe, I believe you owe it me

Give it to me like you said you would

Hmmm

Oh say can you see

Hmmm

Oh say can you see

Oohh say can you see

Hmmm

By the dawn's early light

You pulled some tricks out yo sleeve last night

Everything I fantasize about-ah

You had me climbing up a wall, how many ways was GOD called?

You represented in the fashion of the tru-ly gifted.

Do you want some fish and grits? I'll hurry and go get it!

Wee made a groove last night. A poignant rockin forth and back..alright.

Anything I can do for you, just ask sometimes you wont have to.

I'll be happy just to make you happy and that's true. Ohhh,

We made power-ful love last night. Never knew passion could taste so sweet,

Alright.

I made a vow to you, everything I do for you,

Is a joy and gift you've got my whole life lifted.
