FACTS.

[@michaelcoard7475]

This is the passion of gospel, the pain of the blues, the spirit of jazz, the rage of rock, and the soul of R&B. Altogether, it is Hip Hop!🔥💯👊🏾❗️

[@esofad]

Best way to describe this 💯🔥

[@tonyharris2586]

Ladies and gentlemen welcome to real hip hop if u don't feel this in your soul you don't have one so go back to your mumble rappers

[@jimbob3030]

Actually this is MTV2, well after the original MTV changed from being a music video channel. It's just Jill Scott and the Roots which makes it good.

[@robbylebotha]

Word? You telling me MTV used to be a music channel B?

[@1novej113]

They're invoking the spirits of the ancestors, this song takes me back to ancient Egypt with those chords and that electric guitar 🎸 transcends you to the universe as Jill laments and lilts , we become part of the universal tapestry through the power of music and sound. Yassssmammawork it's just a matter of my Soul 😇 GivethanXxo 💪🙏🥰😍🤩🥰 absolutely amazing you got me. The Roots and Jill Scott are badass🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MekoBlu]

Jill shows out every time she's in DC... Ugh... I'm mad I missed this one.. It was sold out... Like all of her shows....And the Roots are always awesome as well.... This gave me all kinds of eargasms....

[@NEONOIRERA]

Meko Blu wassup ma’am lol

[@kudabeen]

Absolutely! Probably the only concert I'd even think about attending post Covid is Jill in a Black ass city with the Roots

[@hiyukenmusic]

The best live performance/live remix ever...gives me chills. Jill Scott literally murder death killed this shit sly stone Wes snipes style. Just too good and you could see everyone in the crowd could feel it like this is special right now...this is something I am going to remember... all the way from each performer on stage to the dude in the back of the crowd to the stage crew everybody knew this is a once ever type of deal....chill bumps...again.

You cannot duplicate this not by any means beauty is not sufficient to say what this is

[@DesireThompson]

Since the lyrics aren't anywhere. Jill Scott's opening verse I'm going to take my time If I search, I will find I'm gonna take this pace When I use my mind, I win the race I'm gonna take my time When I search, I do find I'm gonna take it slowly, to make sure that you know me You cannot put me in a box, no My soul just don't fit in one I am the moon of the rising sun My new shit has just begun I can take you HIGHER. I can take you LOW. It's not a matter of what I put on, no It's just a matter of my soul

[@bernealmiller]

[@Dmiche02]

Jizzle Miller IJizzie, do you think it’s too far fetched to say Jill is better than Beyoncé?

[@robinvolpi]

@@Dmiche02 Why are you fanatics always worrying about who might be "better" than Beyonce, who is EXCEPTIONAL at what SHE does? And also happens to be an incredible singer too, which many don't pay attention to due to her performances -- including operatic highs. That being said, Jilly from Philly is on another level. And that's okay. But why would you see this and think of Beyonce?

[@cheflyn9089]

Its far fetched to compare
