Jill Scott The Light Of The Sun. Lyrics
1.Blessed

This is the last take for the night
Understand it's kinda late
And I gotta get home to my son
'Cause he's so special to me
I mean I gotta see him
I need to breathe him
That's my baby, don't call me crazy
I love the studio but I love him more
Let me give you what I got so

I woke up in the morning feeling fresh to death
I'm so blessed, yes yes
I went to sleep stressed, woke up refreshed
I'm so blessed, yeah yes
Water in my face and everything is in its place
Peace of mind even my grace
I'm so blessed, yes yes yes

My grandma almost lived to see ninety two
I'm so blessed, yes yes yes yes
My son was born healthy and beautiful
I'm so blessed, yeah yes
My momma's on my right side
Daddy on my left, my son father doing his absolute
I'm so blessed, blessed, blessed, blessed, yeah yeah yes

And I know what I know
And I know what I know

Yeah yeah struggle don't happen
It's just the way it be
Ain't nothing coming easily in this life
Sometimes you gotta work and you gotta grow and it gotta hurt
I'm sure you know
Take a look around

Woke up this morning listening to this song
It's so blessed, yes yes
Gonna rock this joint all night long
It's so blessed, yes
To be up in here with our hands up in the air
Waving like we just don't care
We're so blessed, yes yeah yeah yeah

Woke up in the morning feeling fresh to death
Went to sleep stressed woke up refreshed
Momma's on my right side, daddy on my left
I'm so blessed, yes yes yes


2.So In Love

I'm glad this week is over,
I need to get away,
Go home and throw my clothes on,
Come get you right away!
Can't wait to see you looking lovely,

When I open my eyes and see you
Hey, hey, I feel like a breath of fresh air

3.Shame

I'm the one you really want, but you just can't see it
I tried and tried to make ya understand won't believe it
It's a shame!
You missin' out on a good thing, ooh oh oh
And it's a shame! (Shame! Shame!)
You can't see a damn thing, uh huh! Well well!
What you so scared of me for?
I'm just a woman
Maybe I got it all together like you think maybe I do! (Do!)
'Cause yo I'm fresh and cold! (So cold) Uh huh!
I can stand on my own, I'm magnificent
I'm a queen on my throne, I'm magnificent
I'm the magnificent (Say what? Say what?)
I'm the magnificent (Say what? Say what?)

You're standin 'gainst the wall
Baby why you frontin'?
When you can take my hand and we can get into somethin'
It's a shame! (Shame! Shame! Shame!)
You're missin' out, on me
And it's a shame! (Shame! Shame! Shame!)
You don't even know my name
I can stand on my own, I'm magnificent
I'm a queen on my throne, I'm magnificent
I'm the magnificent (Say what? Say what?)
I'm the magnificent (Say what? Say what?)

I'm your sunshine, and your rain!
My heart it doves inside, my love remain!
Why you can't see me? Why you playin'?
I'm just sayin'! I'm just sayin'!

Uh! Ay yo! I'm the magnificent with the sensational style
Yes! Check her head to toe don't forget the smile
Blessed! If you were smart you would try to snatch it up
Movin' like a snail when you 'gon catch it up?
Be on it 'cause I'm bored laughin' 'cause you just a clown now
Ain't worthy of the queen, papi bow down
Really bow out, how does that sound?
Had a chance in the past, fall back now!
I mean way back, like disappear
I see through all of you and it's so clear
And I'm so good, how you so wack?
How you let this get away you 'gon regret that
Shorty so live, from the 2-1-5
And you was too late now I'm sayin' bye bye

And it's a shame! (Shame! Shame!)
It's a shame! (Shame! Shame! Shame!)
And it's a shame! (Shame! Shame! Shame!)
You're missin' out, on me
And it's a shame! (Shame! Shame! Shame!)
You can't see a damn thing, uh huh!


4.All Cried Out Redux

Never wanted to see things my way
Tell me why were you such a fool
Always thought the grass was greener on the other side
Never miss your water till your well run dry
And now I'm sad and so confused
'Cause I'm all cried out, oh yeah yeah
Over you
Over you
Over you
Over you you you you you
You, you, you
No more tears for you, no baby it's all over
I'm moving on now, I'm taking over
No more tears for you, no more baby
'Cause I'm not your lady
You made that perfectly clear to me too
Ooo so I'm gonna move to the next phase
Getting back into my space
Moving in right in the right direction
And oh oh
I hope you know
One day baby
That I-I-I-I-I-I-I'm not sad and so confused
'Cause I'm all cried out oh yeah yeah
Over you
Over you
Over you
Over you

6.So Gone (What My Mind Says)

You're gonna hear the pages turn

Let me take my Gazelle's off

Don't want this thing, but can't let go
Even though, I need it so
Your arms they soothe me
But I ain't no game,
I ain't no toy, I ain't just brain.
This ain't no movie mane...
I'm a real woman
Been down this road before
I just need more

Why does my body ignore what my mind says?
I try to keep it intact, but I'm here in this bed.
I need to. listen, listen.
Why does my body ignore what my mind says?
I try to keep it intact, but I'm here in this bed.
I need to. listen, listen.
Emotions deep down inside of me
I'm trying to hide, but they keep finding me
I want to lay low, but continuously you do
unh, unh, unh
All the right things (damn)
So sweet to me(Eh, eh, eh)
What do I do?(Oh...)
Why does my body ignore what my mind says?
I try to keep it intact, but I'm here in this bed.
I need to damn
Why does my body ignore what my mind says?
I try to keep it intact but I'm here in this bed.
Again, I'm scared .Again

You got that ocean of soul
Baby you're super thick
And I'm the man of steel with skills
Call me Super Dick
I got that technique that keeps you cummin back to back
And I know you feel it all in your stomach
whenever you arch your back
I'm a pull yo hair; I know you love that
When I maneuver this tongue, your eyes roll back
I work them side angles, I'm a Kama Sutra pro
Kitchen table down to the flo
Ass in the air while you biting that pillow
Girl you know how I chop and screw
That's what a diamond chip dick do
That's what a diamond chip dick do
Oh my mind says,
and my body says something different
Why does my body ignore what my mind says?
I try to keep it intact, but I'm here in this bed.
He got that thickness,
the kind that make you get a buck in biscuits with breakfast,
so gone

Why does my body ignore what my mind says?
I try to keep it intact but I'm here in this bed.

I'm scared of this love.
He got that thickness,
the kind that make you get a buck in biscuits with breakfast,
so gone

And I ain't even thinkin bout the next chick that he mess with..
so reckless, so gone


7.Hear My Call

Here I am again asking questions
Waiting to be moved.
I am so unsure of my perception
What I thought I knew I don't seem to
Where is the turn
so I can get back to what I believe in
Back to the old me and
God please hear my call
I am afraid for me

Love has burned me raw
I need Your healing, please

Please, please

I am such a fool
How did I get here
Played by all the rules
Then they changed
I am but a child to your vision
Standing in the cold and the rain
Lost here in the dark
I can't see
My foot to take a step
What is happening
Oh, this hurts so bad,
I can hardly breathe.
I just want to leave, so
God, please hear my call,
I am afraid for me.
Love has burned me raw
I need Your healing, please

God, please hear my call,
I am afraid
Love has burned me raw
I need Your healing, please


God, please hear my call,
I am afraid
Love has turned me cold
I need Your healing, please


8.Some Other Time

About another time, some other time
How 'bout you call next week,
We'll get something to eat.
We'll just hang and chill,
Just to keep the thrill.
About another time some other time
Oh my God, I really had a good time tonight.
It was fun.
I had stars in my eyes.
Oh my God, (he was fly) he was witty and sweet,
Relaxed and comfortable. (Fine)
Conversation was nice and easy,
Steady moving, (sense of humor), smart.
There was a kind of dignitary vibe
Like an original hip hop melody break dance soul train.
He's kinda Don Cornelius to me
(Cooler than a fan)
But it's only been two weeks.
About another time, some other time
He can be a snake in the grass
Deceptively hiding, waiting to spill his venom on my ass.
(You know how it go)
He could be cold blooded
With another woman behind another door
Another couple of kids, three or four
He could be lying about his money (shit no doe)
Ain't got nothing to show
He could be be a lotta things, a lotta things
He could be a lotta things.
I just wanna see (spirit of discernment) about a


9.Quick

When you left me, couldn't believe it
I thought that we had magic
I thought that we were special
But it's over Huh
Believe it, I can't fathom
This terrible reaction to checking my phone
Damn you're madder than a madhatter
Quick, can't believe it's over
Quick, can't you come over
Shit, I miss you darling Hee
I'm a one man lover
I'm not a Casanova
I can't believe it's over
So quick
I, I called you, you didn't call me
I wanted you
You didn't return my messages
How could you be so.. thick

Had a lot of women on you
Didn't like the fact that I wanted to own you
That's what you said to me
Said that 'I wanted to lock you down' but
You moved into my house
Gave me a son (mmh hmm mmh)
It was so quick the way that it happened
Quick, the way that you left me
Quick, can't believe it's over
Can't believe it's over now

I loved you, I really loved you
Can't believe that it's over
Can't believe that we could ever split

I feel it in my stomach
I can't seem to move on
I'm sick from the knots that's happening
Medicines just ain't helpin'
I can't seem to get well..

Over, can't believe it's over
Over, can't believe it's over
Over, can't believe it's over

So quick

(Over) Can't believe it's over
(Over) Can't believe it's over
(Over) Can't believe it's over
So quick


10.Making You Wait

I'm making you wait for the fifth date
I need to know if you're worthy
Making you wait
Never too late
I need to know if you're crazy
I'm making you wait
A-ha, I need to know that you're worthy
I'm making you wait (wait, wait, wait, wait)
I'm making you wait
I can't give the sweet of me so quickly
I gotta know if you're strictly
Dictation, saying what you said before to that other girl
You know I gotta find out if it's true
I'm making you wait
I'm making you wait
Never too late
I need to know if you're worthy
I'm making you wait
Not to frustrate
I need to know if you're crazy
I'm making you wait
Wait, wait
Wait, wait
I'm making you
Hey, I'm making you
I need to know if it's all perpetration
If it's really real
What are you telling me?
I need to see
Without any outside clarification, baby
That's why, I
I really wanna do what you want me to do
I'm making you wait
Never too late
I need to know if you're worthy
I'm making you wait
Never too late, never too late
Wait, ah-ha, ha, ha
I'm making you wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait


11.Until Then (I Imagine)

I'm your kitty cat
Love what we do
I have got a taste of every part of you
You're so strong and so pure
Got me hypnotized and I want some more
Talk strong, daddy
Control your girl
Oh, yea you got it
You're so feral
You leave me in a frenzied state
And I can't wait, until then I imagine
I imagine myself on my knees
Waiting for you to come over and see me
I imagine myself on my knees
Waiting for you to come over and need me
I imagine myself on my knees
Waiting for you to come over and feed me
I imagine myself on my knees
Waiting for you to come over and free me
I'm your lioness in the jungle babe
And I'm hungry now
And it's you I crave
I drink your mind, sugar
Consume your soul
'Cause you give permission for me to let go
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh
Where you go, man
I don't know, man
But you take me to another place
And I can't wait, until then I imagine
I imagine myself on my knees
Waiting for you to come over and see me
I imagine myself on my knees
Waiting for you to come over and need me
I imagine myself on my knees
Waiting for you to come over and feed me
I imagine myself on my knees
Waiting for you to come over and free me
Do me real quiet daddy
Just like that
Let me know where you're head's at
Feelin' that
Confidence is key
Not every man can handle a woman just like me
I can be with you all of me
So let's sit down and then freaky
'Cause when I blackout
And then I come back
You still meet me in the eye
And you still hit me bad
I imagine myself on my knees
Waiting for you to come over and see me
I imagine myself on my knees
Waiting for you to come over and need me
I imagine myself on my knees
Waiting for you to come over and feed me
I imagine myself on my knees
Waiting for you to come over and free me
That shit is nice


12.Missing You

Babe
The only thang I think about at night
Is that you ain't here
So many ideas
But truly I ain't sure
I don't know
That's how you got me boo
Late nights
Missin' you
Missin' your touch
Missin' your love
Missin' your spell
I'm missin' you
Missin' your kiss
Missin' your arms
Missin' your soul
Well
It seems like all I do
I'm stuck on
The way you would hold my hand
When we would cross the street
Your eyes would maintain attention
Oh the smell on your breath
On my skin
I'm in
I'm in
And I'm missin' you
I am missin' you
Seems like all I know
I am missin' you
Seems like all I do
I am missin' you
Is all I ever seem to do
I am missin' you
Is all I do


13.When I Wake Up

Too much on my mind
Too much on my mind
Too much on my...
La la la la la la la la la

Here I am thinking again
All lost in my brain

But I know I should get up and get out of it
I gotta keep moving

But here i am lost all up inside my brain
Can't stop thinking, reminiscing.
Can't stop. Can't let go.

But when I wake up,
and one day I will do it,

I have let you go
and everything I went through was beautiful

I have let you go
and everything I went through was beautiful

Maybe I right now can't save a forest full of trees
So lost behind hurt
But I'm trying everyday exponentially
To move forward

Do you know how it feels to be lost?

But when I wake up
Everything I went through would be beautiful
When I wake up
And I will wake up
It's gonna be beautiful

Down to to my left side (Last cry)
Feeling I could fly (Feeling I could fly)
All day, up high.

Sweeter than the sugar on a cinnamon treat
Or an ice cream
That was me

But I'm feeling like I'm in a nightmare
Fear of loving somebody, everywhere
Oh Lord, I need this confirmation, this affirmation
That when I wake up
When I wake up
Everything I went through will be beautiful

When I wake up
Everything I went through will be beautiful

Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up...


14.Womanifesto

Clearly I am not a fat ass
I am active brain
and lip smacking peach deep
sometimes too aggressive in its honesty
and heart sweet
that loves whole-ly and completely
whom it may choose
whom ever it may choose

I am not gonna lie and passify
I am arms to hold
I am lips to speak
I am a muthafucking 'G'

Strong legs that stroll off the 33 bus
or out of a money green Phantom confortably
Knees that bend to pray
clean from Ajax washings
hair that is thick and soft
Thigh that be-twixt
an amazing all expense grand prize
I am eyes that sing
smile that brightens
touch that rings
and supply euphoric release
I am a Grand Dame Queen Beast
I am warm
I am peace
From the roads of Botswana to 23rd Street
From the inside third eye
ever watching this wicked wicked system of things
I do see
I am friend to pen
and a lover of strong women
A Diamond to men
I am curious and interested like children
I welcome the wise to teach
appreciator of my culture
Thick not just from bone dense and eat
I have a rhythm in my ways
and a practice in my seek
and yes I do crave the rhythm of my space
with a man that rejoyces in God's Grace
with faith I do hear to listen
two hands that fist
when forced pushes to shove
and your ego won't submit
I am gifted
I am all of this
and indeed the Shit

Clearly I am not just an ass
