it was so cool how the whole neighborhood was like WE GOT YOU GIRL!😂😂😂😂

Only Jill Scott can make a song singing about beating some chick's ass sound so soulful and beautiful. Makes you shed a tear when your realize how far current R&B has fallen.

This song is 20 years old. This song aged like fine wine and it still slaps, the vibe is so mellow

This song is officially 23 years old. She will always be above and beyond current R&B. These kids today need to sit down and take notes.

Queens shouldn't swing if you know what I mean, but I'm bout to take my earrings off and get me some Vaseline. --- now that's lyric...

This is when Music videos actually went with the song............these days music videos don't make sense

”You better back down before you get smacked down, ya better chill!!!” That’s been my line for over 20 years. Thanks Jilly from Philly.

I really miss when this was considered mainstream music, sound, vibe everything god bless both her and Erykah.

I STILL lose it every time at 2:04 when the little boy parks his little yellow plastic chair down like, "Ooooh, this gon' be good, lemme get a good seat!" LOL

beautiful black queen right here.. lord have mercy.. he don't make no mistakes

Even in 2022 the horn section is still amazing on this piece 🎺📯

I can't believe this song is 23 years old and still sounds as fresh as ever. A timeless classic by the amazing Jill Scott.

this was my jam in second grade. had no idea what the song was about at the time but I knew it made my mom happy. so I always sang it for her.

"$5.99 or su'm like dat..." BEST LINE! LOL

They don’t make song like this anymore and maybe we shouldn’t, but boy this song is goooood.

Fully dressed, stunning, perfect teeth, talented, voice of an actual angel... this is what we call BLACK GIRL MAGGGGIC🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This song is 16 years old. Man time flies.

"I see you intensions. You can't handle the truth. He let you go a long time ago, now it's time to turn him loooooooooose." Ayeeeee!

“Ya betta chill “ Jill Scott is such a vibe❤

The baby pulled up a damn chair! Oh my goodness! I love that part. LMAO! 🤣😂🤣😂

Even after Jill pulled her $5.99 weave, the crowd tossed it around and kept playing with it 😂😂😂.Let them no Jill!!!

This song was released on December 8, 2000. So it is officially coming up on 15 years of popularity. Still a timeless classic after [going on] 15 years. Her very first song that she released. I loved it back in December 2000 and I love it today in July 2015.

She's so poetic! We need Neo-soul back T T. Her voice is so silky and smooth the way she glides with the instrumentals.

Wow! 22years ago. How time flies! I remember I was 20 when this came out and the world felt so different. Brings back good memories for sure. I played this record often in my 1st car and apartment...

This is the most elegant ratchet video ever. lol

I miss when Philly streets used to come together like this

That pony tail snatch is iconic

The little boy with his little chair!🤣

Picture this - a 30 year old, middle class, British white male who typically listens to musicians such as Kate Bush, Vanessa Carlton, Beatles and Rolling Stones. Yup, that’s me. Jill Scott is THAT chick. Grew up listening to her, Erykah and many other R&B/Hip Hop/Neo-Soul artists. Love it!

always remembered her snatching the pony tail lol classic song. People dont see how she told her off without cussing and calling her hoes and bitches . the message in this song is POWERFUL

This is the classiest beat yo ass song I ever heard 🤣🤣 I love it

Chorus] You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling [Verse 1] Sister girl, I know you don't understand But you going have to understand he's my man now What you had is gone, our thing is sweet Our thing is stronger than any lie you can tell on me He knows my heart and that's the part Yo roots are dug up so you might as well give up I see your intentions, you can't handle the truth He let you go a long time ago now it's time to turn him loose [Chorus] You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling [Verse 2] Sugar honey girl, fly, fly away I been a lady up to now, don't know how much more I can take Queens shouldn't swing if you know what I mean But I'm bout to take my earrings off get me some Vaseline (You better go on get out my face girl you better chill) Chill and I mean it (You better back down before you get smacked down you better chill) You better relax yourself (You better go on get out my face girl you better chill) He's my man and nobody else's (You better back down before you get smacked down you better chill) You better back down Chorus] You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling [Verse 3] Everything was beautiful between me and him And here come you and your big mouth talking about me Telling him that you seen me up 24th Street With them other cats, but you know that's a lie You keep lying to my man girlfriend I'm go take you out in the middle of the street and whoop your tail For all this worth, 5.99 or something like that [Outro] (You better back down before you get smacked down you better chill)

I was dying laughin with this video when she snatch that woman wig off.

Here after the verzuz battle to refresh my memory how dope this song is yess queen 🙌🏽

I typed in Jill Scott earrings to find this tune again! Mate - this was a deep life lesion for me..still use the comment take my earrings off! 🤣

You better back down, before you get smacked down! You betta chill

Jill Scott is the truth. All of her songs has an honest message of sincerity. She just have such a powerful voice and no one can touch her.

The place in my life where I was when this album came out!!! I spent my last money on that CD! It saved my life! Got my mind right and I finished Nursing School and I’m greater now!

A classic...in artistry and style she'll never go out of style gotta love her....she's extremely gifted and talented.

A sultry voice, talent and beauty. A great package put together. This album is one of her best. Definitely a classic!

Queens shouldn't swing if you know what I mean 👑👑👑

Watching this video as a teen, in the early 2000s I had never traveled the country. But having been exposed to PHILADELPHIA up close. Jill Scott and this video is 100% Philly. Anybody and everybody who from Philly are about that action, on sight.

One of the best Jazz videos I've ever seen that addresses a touchy subject in a classy way. Jill Scott is an outstanding vocalist and this video is a perfect example of it.🎙️🎵🎼🎶🎹🥁

She done SNATCHED HER WEAVE. I heard this forever ago but never did I get these implications until now.

how we used to solve problems lol

i always feel so good watching this video. It was filmed in my old neighborhood.

It’s crazy this song is 20 years old.

Love the calm jazzy beat, yet the serious and sassy lyrics. Great confidence track!

Love the little kid in the little chair. Makes me smile every time I see this video. Been following Jill ever since I saw this video. It's a pity I haven't had the opportunity to see her live.

Why is her man still in communication with his ex though

Happy 51st Birthday Jill Heather Scott!(Born April 4, 1972)😃🥳🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾🥂🎀🌷🌹💐👍🏾👏🏾🙌🏾

The wig wasn't being tossed, it was flying by itself.

That wig got thrown around like a beach ball lol

Straight North Philly...ain't nothing else to say

I used to watch this video as a child just to see the part where she snatched home girl wig

''Sistah gurl...''!! I hear you!!! Remember when I first heard this summer 2000'!! Miss those days!!

I love her music.. So bass heavy yet mellow !

Wow I just noticed Vivian Green is one of the "before you smacked down" chicks behind Jill

I have always loved this song and still do. I don't care how old this song gets, it still makes a point today. 😉

love this song . she slayedd !💜💜💜💜

I remember following someone to a fight like that in the neighborhood back in the day, the worst thing that could happen you get your but kicked. I loved it when Jill snatched her wig off! Classic! I really enjoyed this video.

Lil boy grab him a chair and got him a front row seat and the old men getting on an ass whooping. This video will be forever timeless!

Mane back in kindergarten this was my shit, my momma had this blasting on 101.3 The Big DM back in '08. I still love this kinda discography

"Sista, honey, girl...you don't understand he's my man now!" ...."Drag you in the middle of the street and whip your tail.." Alright Miss Jill don't hurt her now Ha! This song will never get old.

THIS is how you solve your problems.. without ending up on Worldstar! lol

This song is amazing it’s really catchy too.

Lol the little boy with the chair 😂😂😂

"But I'm bout to take my earrings off get me some Vaseliiine" LOL!

Legendary 😮‍💨🔥

I love how the horns come in on the second part of the chorus 🎶🎶🎶🎼🎼🎼🙌🙌🙌

Love the little girl at the end! She like “you go girl” 😄😄😄

I wonder how old is the little boy on the yellow chair...this was my favorite song back then... I am older niw n I understand it better now

Was on the live and needed to hear this one song so I came here 🧚🏾💕💫... Jill you are LOVED 🥰

The way she snatched her wig off without even swinging 😂😂😂😂😂just show how much class a queen should have. The girls today will never understand how to handle stuff like this. God bless Jill Scott 🙏🏽

My youngest son was born the very next year this came out. Thank God for my baby and Jill Scott💞

LOL!!! Jill!!! Oh my goodness the whole neighborhood backing her up. oohhwee!!! Love the part where the little boy put his chair out to watch the show!!!

Still listening in 2020, ‘97 baby here. My mother would play this all the time. The whole album is an absolute gem. Nothing can compare. 🖤 And this video!!! When everything like music and videos had meaning. Jill Scott is a gem 🖤🖤🖤

This was the song in 2000! I saw this video and that was it for me... been rocking with her ever since!!!!! #jillscott #gettingintheway

This is one of the funniest videos ever!! I called when my mom and sister when this first came out, like y'all need to look at this!!

I still can't believe she married now. I'm so happy for her.

😯😯😯 I've looked for this song for 19 years and I was 7 when I heard it ♥️♥️

Legend has it that the wig is still being tossed around 🤣

2020 ANYBODY??🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥 #QueenJILL 👑

Notice how nobody had they phone's out ready to record back then lol

Who else was hoping Jill sung this during her phenomenal performance at the Soul Train music awards?

When I was a kid my mom would play this every morning when she was getting ready for work and I was getting ready for summer camp. It's crazy how one song can trigger an ocean of memories!

The baby and the chair🤣I'm getting older!! 2020 vibe😍

still hits me the way that girl in the pink opened the door

This scene is philly the whole block come out and fight! Love Jilly from philly!

I keep rewinding the part when Jill snatched that woman's ponytail off, that part was funny. 😂😂😂

*At first I thought them dudes on the corner was checking her out and was creeping on her. Nah, they was like "aye. Let's go help our sister"*

1:52 “You betta Relax yo-self” flawless ad libs. Here after 2020 Verzuz Battle💕
