The following summer she released Experience:Jil Scott 826+ after she released the single "A Long Walk."

Don't be scared
You never saw me like this before huh'

In Jill Scott's song "All I," the lyrics reveal a sexually charged encounter between two people. The song's opening lines, "You like/ Don't be scared/ You never saw me like this before huh'," express the singer's desire to explore new, perhaps more adventurous, sexual territories with the addressee. The singer goes on to say that they have always been "a goody daddy," but they are willing to be "your nasty baby" if that is what the addressee wants.
Throughout the song, the singer emphasizes that there is "no time for games, no rules just play." This sentiment resonates with the desire for freedom and abandon in the sexual encounter. The singer asks if the addressee has been "thinking about the same thing," expressing a hope for mutual sexual yearning.
The chorus, "Every time I close my eyes, all I dream about is making love/ I can't even sleep at night, all I dream about is making love," reinforces the idea that the singer is consumed by their desire for sexual intimacy with the addressee. The breakdown section of the song features explicit sexual language, including the lines: "Do you want it on the back', it's like that/ Do you want it on the floor', lover please/ Tease me please me spank me feed me you/ Know what I need baby."
Overall, "All I" is a sultry, upfront song about sexual desire.
