Lately I find myself listening to different genres of music. From rock, pop, country, jazz and and and. So I have just being a music whore trying to find the one I'm most comfortable with.
Of all the genres of music I have been experimenting lately, Soul tops my list. Now Soul is believed to be music for only mature minds, whatever that means! I have even been told that you need to be of a certain age group to understand the message that lies in soul music. Honestly, I couldn't disagree more.
Jill Scott is not only a soulful poet, a great song-writer and a beautiful songstress.
She is a spoken word artist, a soul singer and an actress.
Womanifesto is a track in her 2011 album, Light in the Sun.

LYRICS
- Clearly I am not a fat ass
- I am active brain
- and lip smacking peach deep
- sometimes too aggressive in in its honesty
- and heart sweet
- that loves whole-ly and completely
- whom it may choose
- whom it ever it may choose
- I am not gonna lie and passify
- i am arms to hold
- I am lips to speak
- I am a muthafreaking "G"
- Strong legs that stroll off the 33 bus
- or out of a money green Phantom comfortably
- Knees that bend to pray
- Clean Ajax washings
- Hair that is thick and soft
- Thighs 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 Grand Dame Queen Beast
- I am warm
- I am peace
- From 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 rejoices 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
Need I say more?...Share your thoughts with me.
