I suppose that Nationwide isn't on her side any more. However, those who truly understand what the sister was saying and doing will be. Why are black people so upset about the truth and about something that has nothing to do with them. SMH!!!!
“Oh say can you see by the blood in the streets / That this place doesn't smile on you colored child / Whose blood built this land with sweat and their hands / But we'll die in this place and your memory erased / Oh say, does this truth hold any weight / This is not the land of the free, but the home of the slaves!”
We are a nation full of differences of opinions. If the National Anthem is true to its lyrics then what Jill Scott did wouldn’t be in question. We are suppose to be proud to be Americans. Not White American, Asian American, Hispanics American or African American just American and that can’t be true due to systemic racism. We are all identified by race first and Americans second. The question isn’t are we proud to be Americans but is America proud to be represented by us? (I’m Just Saying)
Geez…your ignorance is mind blowing. This is not about her specifically - although she has a nickel in this dime. It’s for people as a whole. And if you knew anything you would realize that life for her ain’t been no crystal staircase - before she “made it” or afterwards- trust and believe she has had to deal with some crap in the industry. Furthermore- did you listen to all of what she said…
Wow oppressor money is not a cure, she is still a BLACK WOMAN in America, and I'm sure you've never been or seen any of her hard work to get her 12 millions
I remember when the album with this song "Watching Me" was released. I couldn't stop listening to the whole album. However, this song "Watching Me" I overplayed it. It was relevant then, and it is even more relevant than NOW ever before 🤦🏾♂️💎💯
The ONLY people who have a PROBLEM with Jill singing this is the ONES who knows she is singing the TRUTH and they HATE THEIR TRUTH BEING PUT IN THEIR FACES! "THIS IS OUR SONG"
It sure was not meant for us, and the 3rd verse of the national anthem says it all. They are Carring out that promise Keys wrote in that third verse. Look it up.
I haven't stood for the so-called National Anthem for years. It's a lie and they mad at her for singing about it. She have sung Bill Holiday's song, Strange Fruit afterwards. Both show America 's true intentions toward us: Murderous hatred !
"Gurrrl I am feeling the truth chills flowing throughout my body!" "Each word you sing tells our ancestors and many races and generations in today's Injustice!" "United We Stand For The People Where There's Equality And Liberty In Everybody's Lifetime!" Glory Hallajuah Fight💜💯💪👉
O say can you see the cities we help destroy. What so proudly we make bail at the highlights of our complaining. Who's brought crime and gang wars from our purposeful might. O'er the drugs that we sell are so profitable and meaning. 🎵.
Guest what I feel the ex lately the same as much wrong been done to us I haven’t sing that slave type song for over thirty years we build this country and get no respect even as our four fathers .
JILL SCOTTS ANTHEM OH SAY CAN YOU SEE BY THE BLOOD 🩸 IN THE STREETS THAT THIS PLACE DOESN’T SMILE 😊 ON YOU COLORED CHILD 👧🏽 WHOSE BLOOD 🩸 BUILT THIS LAND WITH SWEAT AND THEIR BARE HANDS? BUT YOU’LL DIE IN THIS PLACE AND YOUR MEMORY ERASED OH SAY DOES THIS TRUTH HOLD ANY WEIGHT? THIS IS NOT THE LAND OF THE FREE BUT THE HOME OF THE S.L.A.V.E ✊🏾
“Oh say can you see by the blood in the streets / That this place doesn't smile on you colored child / Whose blood built this land with sweat and their hands / But we'll die in this place and your memory erased / Oh say, does this truth hold any weight / This is not the land of the free, but the home of the slaves!”
Hey Jill , have you been giving any of your money to your poor black brothers and sisters who are out in the streets, homeless here in Los Angeles???? They are your people right?....🧐
“Oh say can you see by the blood in the streets / That this place doesn't smile on you colored child / Whose blood built this land with sweat and their hands / But we'll die in this place and your memory erased / Oh say, does this truth hold any weight / This is not the land of the free, but the home of the slaves!”
land of the mental slaves, she was spot on indeed . many people in the USA , especialy in the black community need to break free from the mental shakles that will make them complain even after they become millionaires . i'm black african ( not american) meaning i live without mental shakles, despite what happens everyday in my continent at the ends of its leader and european leaders they make deals with . Always be free in your head or you'll never be happy , just like Jill Scott.
She was born in Philadelphia to a single mother. She went to high school here. Worked two jobs, dropped out of college, started doing spoken word poetry and from they're on was able to build a career in music after meeting influential artists. She did all that in the United States. If she wasn't born here, then she wouldn't have had access to the same level of opportunities. She's not from another country. She's a US citizen. And I'll tell you right now if she did that in Russia, she would be in prison or worse. She's a hypocrite. She built herself up from nothing thanks to living in the USA. She isn't a slave. She's not shackled. She's not oppressed and if she was, she wouldn't be who she is at this moment. She proved the United States is a place where you can overcome your situation and become whatever you choose to be. She took our country's NATIONAL ANTHEM...and bastardized it with hateful rhetoric and outrageous claims that no longer exist today. Everyone experiences some sort of racism or hate or anger due to their ethnicity or culture. That is life in a nutshell. However, using it as a crutch and to keep pushing the idea that you're a slave and a victim is just absurd. Nobody in this country is any of that. I've experienced racism but that doesn't make me think the entire country is nothing but the land of slaves. That's just ignorant and stupid. It's an over exaggeration of a time in history that we are no longer in. Don't tell me you're oppressed. There's plenty of poor white people who have even more difficult lives than she grew up with. She wrote this when she was 12 or 19 or whatever and look at her now... worth $12 million and free to say whatever she wants on stage thanks to the freedoms of this country. That certainly doesn't mean that she can't face the consequences for doing so. This is no longer the land of the slave. It's the land of opportunity and she's living proof of that. Otherwise she would still be nothing. She is ungrateful. She's a liar. She is a hypocrite.
🤔 Hypocrite huh! Just like you anti-Black Caucasians on this stolen land...nothing but "Hypocrites", so miss us with your pseudo-intellectual jargon bullshyt. At any rate, you Caucasians should never ever utter the word "Hypocrite" bc y'all ain't no earthly good!! 😏
“Oh say can you see by the blood in the streets / That this place doesn't smile on you colored child / Whose blood built this land with sweat and their hands / But we'll die in this place and your memory erased / Oh say, does this truth hold any weight / This is not the land of the free, but the home of the slaves!”
Congratulations, Jill, people with no soul not going to get it.
I LOVE JILL ...... EVEN MORE NOW!
Me too, OUR NATIONAL 19th Anthem
A deep call to the Ancestors 🖤
I'll stand for this.
Lotta victim hood people in the comments
She’s a victim worth 12 million dollars
I felt that DEEP in my SOUL❤
So deep!!! Soul Deep!!!💔💔💔
Truth
That's sad for you. Let go of the hate and your life will be better. And your soul won't hurt.
You can always move to Haiti
@@rustyshakelford1279 was she lying ? Is some of what she’s saying still going on just in a different camouflaged way ? Yes it is bro . Served this country and not much had changed at all and moving to Hati isn’t the answer .
This is not the land of the free , but the home of the slaves! I LOVE JILL SCOTT!!! ❤
Slave lmao then move around homeboy. Go to Afghanistan and you'll see real oppression
The context delivered after the presentation IS THE COMPREHENSION needed by every 'hearer '
This is powerful… black Native Americans STAND UP. this is our land.
I like that phrase Black Native Americans. It’s definitely more true!
@@Revealthereal_ And please remember the rest of the truth: Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Utah, belonged to Mexico. The history of the United States, people don't want to know the truth.
Sorry it's the Indians land.
I agree. Time to go back to segregation.
I suppose that Nationwide isn't on her side any more. However, those who truly understand what the sister was saying and doing will be. Why are black people so upset about the truth and about something that has nothing to do with them. SMH!!!!
❤❤❤We people of color should sing this in every event and in Church. So Very True, heartfelt and hits the Soul. This is the PRESENT AMERICA
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU
I agree
totally DISagree 👎🏻
Please!

Slavery comes in different forms
Blood in the streets..... Like chicongo? 😂😂
This holds ssoooooo much truth
A singer/songwriter and actress who has a net worth of $12 million feels oppressed? Interesting
Of course the oppressors would think that. You know when one sheds light on the the truth it's a problem.
Geez…your ignorance is mind blowing. This is not about her specifically - although she has a nickel in this dime. It’s for people as a whole.

They could do without that "Watching me" shyt. It's quite annoying.
Whole dam thing a trash boat
😂😂😂😂 right
And Jill Is So Right About Her Stance On America And Us As A People (Black,Brown And Beige)
Black 🇺🇸 not else.
Hahahahah ok 😂
EVERY black person (God) that transitions (dies), Must be honored...
Now that's deep
This was 🔥🔥🔥
We honor YHWH and his Son. We must always hold on to all of our ancestors!
Brought tears to my eyes
This sister is in a class by her self. My favorite singer of all times. Jill from Philly

“fart”...🥴
AWESOME RENDITION!!! NEED TO BE CHANGED TO THIS
Is she singing about all of the black on black crime, and drive-bys, baby daddy, not taking care of their babies and so on and so on?
Why sing about it? Black men know who are Supposed to be!!!!
Always projecting 👿
This should be the only ANTHEM blacks should sing from this point forward ❤💯🙏🏾✔️
Yes indeed!
nope 👎🏻
How resentful. That always helps.
I stand with Jill. The national anthem is for white people, NOT us. It is a PREJUDICE song.
It sure was not meant for us, and the 3rd verse of the national anthem says it all. They are Carring out that promise Keys wrote in that third verse. Look it up.
This is the only Anthem I will stand for from here on out
Feel free to leave this "oppressed" land.
Yes GOD!
I haven't stood for the so-called National Anthem for years. It's a lie and they mad at her for singing about it. She have sung Bill Holiday's song, Strange Fruit afterwards. Both show America 's true intentions toward us: Murderous hatred !

Sang Jill vocals and lyrics 🔥 🔥
Truth in a powerful voice. ♥️🤎🖤 I hope she adds this to an album. We all need to hear this truth.
She's a millionaire who doesn't give a shit about you
just adding flames to the fire not needed lol the past is the past whats the point we cant change history.
That was fire... I felt that‼️
Blood in the streets that sounds like the Windy city or Watts or Compton or Detroit every inner city has street blood
I wish Jill agreed to sing the anthem and then song her version instead! THAT WOULDVE STOPPED THE WORLD
No other country is as diverse. No other country have blacks risen to the presidency. Stop crying and start acting like citizens.
Every real descendent of Ghabaraym/Hebrews knows exactly what’s she’s talking about.
Shalom Mashpakhathay ❤️🕎
That truth was sung with so much power. Hallelujah 🔥💯
CHILLS! STOP PLAYING ❤
Tell it!!! Go ahead and tell the truth
O say can you see the cities we help destroy. What so proudly we make bail at the highlights of our complaining. Who's brought crime and gang wars from our purposeful might. O'er the drugs that we sell are so profitable and meaning. 🎵.
