“Talk To Me” - Jill Scott

This is coming from someone who is incapable of walking away from an argument without exhausting every single fucking point to death, but I’ve learned that sometimes you really have to ‘be cool, baby’ to get your point across. 

Jilly switches up the arrangement, style and tempo from a steady R&B beat to a full out jazz/swing vibe so that it syncs with her lyrics. So slick. 

But when I push 
Begins the riff
You take off and there I sit
Alone feeling cold
I become antagonist loud and wrong
Words are thrown
I bitch you moan
So I try another tactic
Ohh, ohhhh, oh

(Enter slickness)

Close your eyes
Relax your mind
Cool down
Just recline
We’ve got the time
To let it go
Just unwind
I’ll be cool baby
I’ll be quiet
If you like
I’ll put on your favorite song
Sounds nice
Thug passion on ice?
Or a glass of Merlot?
I’ll roll it up
If you want
I won’t front
I just need to know
What you know

Talk to me, break it down, spell it out for me baby
Talk to me, break it down, spell it out for me

Also: THUG PASSION ON ICE? YES PLEASE.
