Jill Scott: I Am the Kind of Woman who Sins for Entertainment

A poem from feature film Love Beats Rhymes featuring the likes of Common and Azealia Banks in 2016 available on Netflix. Read below:

Jill Scott

I am the kind of woman who loses things

The kind of woman who makes room for a child she lost.

I am the kind of woman who keeps the porch light on,

The kitchen light on,

The bathroom light on.

I am the kind of woman who keeps the light on during sex

During nap time after dark,

It is safe that way.

I am the kind of woman who needs to feel safe.

The kind of woman who has needs that no one can satisfy.

I am never satisfied with things God allows.

I am the kind of woman who sins for entertainment. I am the kind of woman who says ugly things,

About ugly people,

Who says uglier things about prettier people,

Who have been ugly to me.

I am the kind of woman who is ugly for fun.

And god knows I could be so much prettier.

I am the kind of woman who uses her vagina as a missile

Who will beg your pardon if you ask for it

Who will bust your head if you ask for it

Who will help you bust your nut if you ask for it.

I am the kind of woman who says things like; Don't ask me for shit,

But I will give up anything if you need it,

But be cautious because I do lose things,

like children.
