Jill Scott been about that life.

A recent video of Jill Scott performing live went viral, and what became apparent was old listeners' rediscovery and new listeners' unfamiliarity with the sexual style and sound of the artist and woman known as Jilly from Philly.

But maturity and sensuality is what has always marked the sound and scope of Jill Scott's music and persona. Her 2000 debut album, Who Is Jill Scott served as prima facie evidence of the artist's abilities — a supreme vocalist. storyteller, and celebrator of self. And with a career spanning two decades, the legend and lyrical laureate has mastered the practice of passionate prose, moving from neo-soul chanteuse to a championed artist of our time.

Whether she's singing about love, joy, everyday life, or sex, she's been consistent and concise. As the internet revisits the coded and not-so-coded language in her lyrics, here's a roundup of Jill Scott's sexiest lyrics.

"Love Rain"

Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. 1 (2000)

Love slipped from my lips,

Dripped down my chin and landed in his lap

And us became new.

Made the coochie easy and the obvious invisible

"Honey Molasses"

Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. 1 (2000)

Alone to the bone

Although the night before

You were in my home my body

My dome

In a circle of passion we

Paris italy

Japan africa rome

We made music.

"Exclusively"

Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. 1 (2000)

He was lickin' and suckin' on everything

Just the way he should

This morning's extra lovin' was good

We laid there sweaty, sex funky, happy as we want to be

Lovin' exclusively, my man and me

"Epiphany"

The Real Thing: Words and Sounds Vol. 3 (2007)

Sweaty with lust and sweat

Rode Mt. Saint Scott 'til, ooh-hoo...

Creamy lava landed on my skin and neck

Blended with my all day Chanel scent

This freaking was incredulent, decadent

Flip side, stomach meets sheets

He plows inside as if he's making beats.

"Cross My Mind"

Beautifully Human: Words and Sounds Vol. 2 (2004)

How amazing, how amazing

When you would spread my limbs cross continents

Bump our bed way over mountains

Kiss this and this and this and this

"Crown Royal"

The Real Thing: Words and Sounds Vol. 3 (2007)

Your hands on my hips pull me right back to you

I catch that thrust give it right back to you

You're in so deep I'm breathing for you

You grab my braids arch my back high for you

Your diesel engine, I'm squirting mad oil on

Down on the floor 'til my speaker starts to boil.

"Come See Me"

The Real Thing: Words and Sounds Vol. 3 (2007)

Sometimes we have to sacrifice

Cuz I know,it's hard over there where you are

Cuz it's raining over here on the inside of my womb

"Until Then (I Imagine)"

The Light of The Sun (2011)

Love what we do

I adore the taste of every thought of you

You’re so strong and so pure

Got me dickmatized and I want some more

I can be with you all of me Submissive, dominant, freaky
