"What lies betweens your thighs is a man's genesis, so how dare he spit upon scripture"
Snaps snaps everywhere
Caught me so much...
❤❤❤
1:51 snap snap snap snap
Yaass 😂😂
Do u mind please explaining what she meant by that 😊
"What lies between your thighs is a mans genesis so how dare he spit upon scripture" Damn 👏🏽👏🏽
Jemma Carrillo can you explain this to me?
Rachael Rojas Every man comes from a woman, that is his beginning so how dare he disrespect where he came from
Damn straight
Jemma Carrillo i was like OOOOOOOOOO and then i heard the crowd was too
got goose bumps
I spent half of college trying to get this boy to love me, the other half trying to get over him
...
The accuracy! 😂😂😂😪
Lol this is more accurate 😂😂😂
Should've spent ALL her time on herself
So accurate 😭
Powerful.
“I forgive myself until there is no more sand in Egypt” POWERFUL
I felt that " Still wonder if I am doing enough, if I am worth enough, and sometimes all this self-doubt gets tiring, more tired than a bag of old diamonds. So I ask myself if today was the last today would I be okay with the life I lived, would I be okay with the woman that I am now, and then I forgive myself no matter the answer".
Light
I am a good friend of yours
I think I have your
I know what happened to you
“Ladies, how many times, how many times have we tried to save someone with our love? Been bread, butter and breast, done, done our best to give good head, I mean, knowledge, wisdom, understanding”
One of my favourite lines, especially her face when she said it
Her face there😂Kills me too!..❤
“What lies between your thighs is a man’s genesis, so how dare he spit upon scripture.” SPEAK THE TRUTH
brittane curry i dont understand it
Ari & Nae genesis in the bible is the beginning of all life and things created. the vagina is a passage for which life is created. she said how dare you disrespect where you come from.
That line gets me every time
“It took me seven years to go from ‘that girl’ to ‘this woman’” ...Real ones will know🤣🙌🏾
jqueen I am on the journey RIGHT NOW!
Yesss!!! She's so dope!
I hope I get to be that someday
OMG I was just commenting that on another video!! I thought I was the only one who still listens to it 😂. I just stumbled upon this and it’s amazing because I am finally this woman and it’s an amazing transformation.❤️
Ari Martinez Yes! It really is an amazing transformation🙌🏾❤️.
Beautiful reply to the poem "That Girl" she wrote years ago. Love to see how people grow, yet I am still so mesmerized by her poetry style, writing and performances. Pure talent 🔥💪
Artastic , found her yesterday. Too awesome!
yes! that was the first poem i heard of hers😩
Emotions still so raw and accessible. She may forgive but has not forgotten how she came to that place she stood, that moment and healed us with her pain.
Her reference to her other poem "That girl" makes me so proud. She really matured in such a beautiful way
"Ladies, there are always two ways of looking at a condom in a wrapper. Open your legs and you won't necessarily find freedom, close them and you won't necessarily find purity. Purity is just contraception against evil thoughts, freedom is knowing your hip is a hinge. Use your body at your own discretion and seek your own pleasure. What lies between your thighs is a man's Genesis, so how dare he spit upon scripture?"
This Woman is 🔥🔥🔥
These lines here are my new daily affirmation.
The first time I watched this, when she spoke this particular section, it took my breath away.
“You know I tried to tame the Leo in me, cut off all my hair to be rid of my ego, but she still comes roaring in like a red dragon cuz she’s my protection” YEESSSSS♌️🥰❤️❤️
"What lies between your thighs is a man's genesis, so how dare he spit upon scripture?" Yes! She went OFF off.
Been going back to this poem numerous times, most has been breakdowns and fits of anger but today I am listening to this free of hatred, accepted all the lessons thankful for the hurt and now I am empowered. Shoutout to all the women out there, I hope y'all are doing great🙏💖
Tears in the first 15 seconds when she said “I turned myself into a pie for him to sample.”
“What lies between your thighs is a mans genesis, so how dare he spit upon scripture.”
That’s one of the most powerful lines I’ve heard..
For those of you just joining us “that girl” is another poem written and performed by Harris. Please watch for more context 🙂
Alysia harris is one of my favorite poets she is extremely talented and very gifted with her poetry her poems all ways give me chills her poetry is deep and meaningful and powerful I can tell she puts effort into her craft when she writes and the way she performs her poems is truly pure gold she actually puts emotion and expression while she performs and her poetry is just lovely✨💓
“But ain’t God good, and ain’t I great.” That slapped so hard👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Whenever I find myself in a bad place I come back to this poem to remind myself of my strength and my worth. To remind myself that on my best days she is all that I am, and on my worst days she is all that I hope to be. Thank you Alysia, your poem has saved me many many times.
I feel like the phrase "pitbull in a skirt [...] still learning how to heal" is an apt phrase to describe so many women of our time. It's a terrible kind of bravery, yet here we are.
it's an Eve (rapper) lyric from 'What Ya Want', 1999
She's incredible. Been following her work for years and her words still shake me.
"Ain't God good and ain't I great"?
i was like woooh preach it girl except God is good all the time and all the time God is good
I love women accepting their own power and holiness. She made this all happen. God can give nudges, can help, but you have to accept the opportunities and the growth required. It is very difficult, so she deserves to praise herself. 🥰
Queen spoke so much reality she had to take them glasses off
How have I never come across her before?????? I mean her flow and message are legend.... Wait for it 🤚... Dary! Legendary
"...but ain't god good, and ain't I great." as beautiful and powerful as a phrase can be, some more words to live by, thank you for sharing them
That Girl by Alysia was amazing 7 years ago and is still very powerful but This Women is phenomenal and inspiring 🙌🏾👏🏾
"Wake up every day and love what I do, and still wonder if I'm doing enough, if I'm worth enough. And sometimes all this self-doubt gets tiring. More tired than a bag of old diamonds."
I thought this line to be the one that really connects her poem "That Girl" from 2009 to this one here from 2017. And just to say to her, your own personal growth before your audience's eyes is worth more to us than any number of diamonds.
I love how unlike a lot of other poems, literally everyone can relate to this in some way
I watch this way to often😭😭😭😭 she is so powerful and beautiful!
I remember watching "That Girl" years ago, in the midst of a toxic "friendship" with someone who was my roommate, had a wife and a child and still tried to hit me up. I'm free of that but still struggling with other things in my life. This helped me. This helped me a lot.
okay, this is what I needed to hear. She knows her way with words, I swooned
i simply want to be loved Hi!! I just wanted you to know that you are beautiful and you can do anything you want in life. I love you!!❤
It's been years and this still hits. Every time is like the first.
Through my darkest years, Alysia Harris was the big sister that said exactly what I needed.
Still coming back to listen, so powerful my God. Speechless
Everything about her and this poem, is just amazing💗💚💗
“But ain’t god good, and ain’t I great.” Love the pride in her voice when she delivers this line!
brought me to tears 💖
Coming full circle Ive watched her poetry for years and this response to "That girl to this women" is a beautiful transition.
"I ask myself, today were the last day would I be okay with the life that I've lived??" I'm in tears 😭
seven years to go from that girl to this woman..... oh how i felt this line and sooooo many more. thank you so much. youve been a voice of reason for me many times over the years. thank you again.
If today was the last would I be okay with the life I've lived.... But then I forgive myself
I keep coming back to this poem.. each time I relate to a different ode! I love it so much!! ❤️
yes. heard it 4 years ago and every single time i hear conviction i've never even considered before.. makes me feel closer to that woman im after☺️
Why is this making me cry. This is beautiful
Had me in tears too.
Wow she hit home so many times. The final and most potent for me was thinking of all those "mountains in my last name". Whatever she said after that I didn't even hear because this thought was so powerful. Thanks so much to the artist for the raw truth.
2022 and I'm still listening to this masterpiece ❤️
Such immense power from her.. I stan 100%!!
I went from that girl to his wife!!! I needed this!!! 😭😭
Bringing me to tears
I wish I could meet this woman because she is amazing and her voice
Should never be silenced
rewatched, watched that girl and then came back to rewatch again. alysia harris, you are a gift.
Brought me to tears. Beautifully spoken 🤎👑
I couldn't say how many times I've come back to this video ❤ Never enough, at least
"What lies between your thighs is a man's Genesis, so how dare he spit upon scripture." I gasped out loud omg girl
Crying so many tears right now. This point hit my SOUL!
Im currently crying, this woman, this poem is so powerful
I love her so much! I’m so proud of her growth
When she said “7 whole years y’all” I was just like damn
The goosebumps.. 😭😭
Just realized the love I still have for poetry 🥺❤️
its 20 years later and this piece along with "that girl" still have an impact on me; if only music had substance like this the world might be a better job
“What lies between your thighs is a mans genesis, so how dare he spit upon scripture.” I’m shivering with the strangest of emotions.
I discovered this channel a few years ago and this video is right here is what unlocked my love for poetry and what made me realise that I can write poetry.
Her words give me goosebumps
I love how she performed it this time. I remember coming across another performance of this and loving it.

@@ButtonPoetry I do write poetry. Do you post Christian Poets?
Is there a word that's 10x more powerful than the word 'powerful' because this is exactly what this was.
“Forgive Yourselves” ..
