My Petition Lyrics

Cover art for My Petition lyrics by Jill Scott

Actually, this song is about the US Government and how they say they will do one thing and end up doing another.....hence all the references to the Bill of Rights and the "Oh say can you see" lines from the Star Spangled Banner. Jill hits it from a different angle by making it seem like she's talking to a person. She's freaking brilliant, I love Jilly from Philly!
