Jamila Woods - GIOVANNI Lyrics
You might wanna hold my comb
When you find out what I'm made of
You might wanna follow me
And copy all of my mistakes
I'm so nice, so nice
And I cry, I cry
It's just the rain so I can grow
Any minute now you'll get the message
Eenie meenie miney pick a apt description
I'm impressive, you can check my chart for reference
Moon and sunkissed reverend blessed it
Come and listen to a quick confession
Water is to oil me to your aggression
I'm protected
None can take that energy away from me
I been up in here since grandmama was a baby, praise me
I be on my Giovanni, tea and honey
Tell it like I see it
Speak it so I be it
My ancestors watch me
Fairy tale walking
Black Goldilocks, yeah
My naps just right
You got questions, I know that's right
There must be a reason why
There must be a reason
There must be a reason why
There must be a reason
Little bitty, you wanna call me
A hundred muthafuckas can't tell me
How I'm 'posed to look when I'm angry
How I'm 'posed to shrink when you're around me
Permission denied to rearrange me
I am the Kingdom, I am not your Queen
Hotep better step from up around me
I am not your rib, I am not your Eve
Any minute now you'll get the message
Eenie meenie miney pick a apt description
I'm impressive, you can check my chart for reference
Moon and sunkissed reverend blessed it
Come and listen to a quick confession
Water is to oil me to your aggression
I'm protected
Joycetta prayed on me, momma burned sage for me
None can take that energy away from me
I been up in here since grandmama was a baby, praise me
I be on my Giovanni, tea and honey
Tell it like I see it
Speak it so I be it
My ancestors watch me
Fairy tale walking
Black Goldilocks, yeah
My naps just right
You got questions, I know that's right
There must be a reason why
There must be a reason
There must be a reason why
There must be a reason
There must be a reason why
There must be a reason
There must be a reason why
There must be a reason

Give thanks, Sis! Needed this expression>>>Sight U soon...NYC! 🔥

Yo those words about finesse tho!!!!!!
Could you possibly subtitle your videos? Maybe in a separate playlist? Or maybe there's anybody here who could do this? It would be great no to miss anything . Although I majored in English, still it's difficult to understand every word. I'd love to share your music and ideas with others around me and mostly they don't know English so well as to understand lyrics by ear. Greetings from Russia :)
Thank you for the video. Its amazing!!
so much contagious power, from you to me! ❤️

Nice Song
This song heals my heart and makes me cry everytime. So spot on to everything I'm feeling. Especially with the limitations of a body.
The beginning of the video has me bawling my eyes out. I got that same speech from my grandmother almost word for word. The next morning she passed away. 😭😢
Love this. Omg so powerful. This song instantly made me feel even better about my beautiful melanin and being a woman. ✊🏾💜💫
That intro was beautiful
Amazing stuff
I love this! There must be a reason why.

Need more of this please
Love love love!
you are the true finesse.
So many of the comments are related to an intrinsic human need -- to be validated and valued. It's an important reminder how much of a struggle so many of us face to get that basic need addressed.
The beginning, omg I almost cried
This was healing to watch 💖
Genius 🙆
I'm so ecstatic for this video! I heard it on her Tiny Desk Concert back in February, and wrote the most inspiring lines in my journal. I am blown away how she took 3 lives and extended it to tell these stories of BLACK GIRL MAGIC! 👑👗💞💝🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾💃🏾🛀🏾💁🏾♀️👸🏾
She's baaaaaack!!!!!!!
