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.

And us became new.

Sweaty with lust and sweatRode Mt. Saint Scott 'til, ooh-hoo...

Flip side, stomach meets sheets
He plows inside as if he's making beats.

Your hands on my hips pull me right back to youI catch that thrust give it right back to you

Your diesel engine, I'm squirting mad oil on
Down on the floor 'til my speaker starts to boil.
