I am the best I can
Joyful woman
But life ain't always sweet
I gotta keep acknowledging myself
Check in on how I'm doing
I gotta keep loving on me
And you
Got the nerve to be loving me too
This for me and you, baby!
I smile but I get discouraged sometimes
In the back back corner of my aching mind
Even when I use all my loving might
Some things, they just
They won't, they don't go right
And I feel too tired to fight
Trouble seems too dark to light
No summer breeze under my kite
And I just wanna take a Jett plane far far away
But you just sit me down and encourage me
You're like an aloe to my cut
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
You say tomorrow ain't today
Thank you for reminding me
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Thank you for your kindness
Show me the way, c'mon
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
You remind me that I'm free
Ain't nothing hindering me, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
You're like an aloe for my cut
Keep liftin' me up
I do smile
But I get discouraged sometimes
In the back back corner of my aching mind
Even when I use all my loving might
Sometimes they don't go right
And I feel too tired to fight
Trouble seems too dark to light
No summer breeze under my kitty kite
And I just wanna take a flight far, far away
But you just sit me down and you encourage me
You're like an aloe to my cut
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
You say tomorrow ain't today
Thank you for reminding me, baby
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Thank you for your kindness
Show me the way
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
You remind me that I'm free, yeah
Ain't nothing hindering me, no, no, no
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
You're like an aloe to my cut
Keep liftin' me up
Me up
I like that
Won't you do that there? Come on
Me up
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
I like that
Me up, yeah, yeah
That good good energy
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
That good good energy, oh yeah
Hey, hey in the sky, yeah
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
And it shows the way, come on
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
You're like an aloe to my cut
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up, hey hey

Jill Scott è una cantautrice, poetessa e attrice statunitense nata a Philadelphia nel 1972. Considerata una delle voci più influenti della musica soul contemporanea, Scott ha conquistato il pubblico con la sua voce potente e rassicurante, le sue liriche introspettive e la sua presenza scenica magnetica. Dopo aver iniziato la sua carriera come poetessa open mic, Scott è stata scoperta da un produttore musicale che l'ha incoraggiata a registrare musica. Il suo album di debutto, *Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. 1*, pubblicato nel 2000, ha riscosso un enorme successo, vendendo milioni di copie in tutto il mondo e ottenendo la certificazione di platino. Scott è nota per brani come "A Long Walk", "Golden", "He Loves Me (Lykke Li Remix)" e "Shame" che hanno contribuito a definire il sound neo-soul degli anni 2000. Oltre alla musica, Scott ha recitato in film e serie TV, dimostrando un talento versatile che la rende una figura di spicco nell'industria dello spettacolo.
