Oh I aint done yet...


all songs are songs but to some they are messages, stories, instructions, life experiences set to music. no matter what this song means to anyone...

lyrically it be about a bitch whose man is hearing gossip from his ex and possibly believing it so new girl bout to whoop old girls ass if she don't shut her mouth. With that said, its lyrical bullshit cuz the man is clearly playin' both these Hos


Nice Beadwork tho



Not necessarily. Sometimes there are women who just can't let it go. They NEED to be put on notice- to BACK OFF and stop trying to talk to (now) "MY MAN" about me. I can think of a situation like that. There is clearly nothing going on with them, but she won't get that it ain't happenin'... so she's tried to "make him see". At some point a chick like that has to be confronted.

"Love Hurts.
Your lies, they cut me.
Now your words don't mean a thing.
I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..."

true true...i just find that a chick is not going to listen to another chick. sometimes the man has to confront her publicly and shout to the heavens and everybody looking "Bitch I don't want Yo ASS - leave me and my woman alone!!!"

a lil harsh but you have to be that way sometimes. reason does nothing for crazy people

Both of you made some valid points nod

Personally though, I'd confront him 1st & foremost about the fact that he gave some stranger the CHANCE to talk about me behind my back,,,,,people will talk till they're black & blue in the face regardless of what I do, but ARE you(MY MAN) gonna listen?

I like the song too but I take it for what it is.

I remember when this single dropped a lot of people thought it was Erykah.



How that? Their voices don't sound anything alike in terms of key, pitch, or phrasing hmm

The tone is similar when she sings the chorus. When I heard that part I thought maybe Erykah was doing a guest spot.

On that particular song, since no one had ever heard Jilly before, her vibe, sound, and phrasings come off as Badu-ish. Everyone was saying "Is that Erykah?" or "Have y'all heard Erykah's new song?" which shouldn't surprise anyone since The Roots originally had Jilly singing their hook on "You Got Me" on their demo but they asked Erykah to sing it on the actual cut. They were similiar back then.

I adore Jill, everything on her first album was really crazy GOOD! I do like the subsequent albums but neither is as strong as this one. I skip a track or 2 on Beautifully Human, & skip a handful on The Real Thing. But her voice is amazing, I'll always support her nod

sadly, her videos are always always wack!! confused
heart prince I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it prince heart

Isn't it technically wig snatching and not weave snatching? still tre tre declasse but it seems less harmful to the public and the environment to toss around a wig versus a weave. falloff
