Shantel Stiletto - HerselfTISHA JACKSON VEVO PREMIERE OF "HALLELUJAH" FT. SHANTEL STILETTO  The video begins with Maya (played by Tisha Jackson). Maya has just turned twenty-two and has just graduated from New York University with a degree in Business and Finance. Maya is now looking for a job and has booked an interview with “Goldberg & Samuels”, a prestigious law firm in search of an accountant. Hoping for the best, and to land her first job after graduating, Maya applies for the job at “Goldberg & Samuels Law Firm”.
Maya, exits the C train at 59th Street Columbus Circle in Manhattan, New York. She crosses the street and walks into the lobby of the building where “Goldberg & Samuels” is located. Maya see’s all the busy business men and women entering and exiting the building, she imagines herself doing the same thing soon. She then enters the elevator in the building and heads up to the “Goldberg & Samuels” office.
Maya enters the office and see’s a young African-American woman (the secretary) at the front desk. She walks up to the lady and says, “Hello, I am here to see Rush Goldberg, I am his 11 o’clock interview”. The secretary says, “Yes, he has been expecting you, please follow me”. Maya follows the secretary to Mr.Goldbergs office. The secretary opens the door and knocks at the same time and says, “Mr.Goldberg, you’re 11 o’clock has arrived. Mr.Goldberg (a Caucasian male in his mid thirties) looking a busy as ever filing out papers looks up and says, “Yes, please bring her in.” The secretary fully opens the door for Maya as Maya enters.
Maya walks up to the front desk and says, “It’s a pleasure to meet you” and holds her hand out waiting for him to shake her hand. Mr. Goldberg fixes his glasses on his face and looks at Maya from top to bottom undressing her with his eyes. He quickly glances at her breast and then realizes her hand is out. He then says, “Oh, yes, yes,” and shakes her hand. He follows with, “Nice to meet you too”, and slowly moans gently after saying so. “Please sit”, Mr.Goldberg says.
Maya sits in the seat across from him as he tries to peak at her behind. Mr.Goldberg says, “ We examined you’re resume, and we were impressed by all you did at NYU, but we are looking for someone with a bit more experience. However, I still want to ask you a couple of questions because you may be JUST THE RIGHT WOMAN, for this job. He stands up in front of the desk and Maya after saying that, and gently and swiftly pats his penis. Maya see’s his gesture, and looks at his in confusingly. He then ask her, “What do you think you can bring to this company?”
Maya, “Well, I do think I can bring great leadership with my skills in business, and some much needed diversity if you don’t mind me adding.”
Mr.Goldberg, “Yes, our office does need some more color, and more females. We only have one female accountant here and she’s white. And the rest of the women who work here are Blacks and Hispanics, but they are all secretaries.
Maya looks down; inside she is deeply saddened by the lack of diversity at the office and says. “That is extremely unfortunate. Hopefully we can change that.”
Mr.Goldberg walks from the other side of the table to Maya and walks around her. He grunts, “Mmmm, maybe we can, maybe we can.” He says, as much as I would like to hire you on principle, I can’t because we are looking for someone with more experience, However if you were willing to help me out (Mr.Goldberg puts his hands on Maya’s shoulders and whispers in her ear), I will be willing to help you out and assure you a position at our firm as soon as today). Maya turns around at him in disgust and quickly removes his hands off her shoulders and says, “I don’t sleep with a man to make my money or get a high postion.”
Mr.Goldberg looks frustrated and walks up to Maya slowly and says, “It’s the only way I can hire you, so do this for yourself and for me”. He kisses her on the lips (with a soft peck). Maya pushes him off of her, says , “You bastard!”. Maya then slaps the shit out of Mr.Goldberg with her right hand. She slaps him so hard his faces jerks completely to the other side. As Maya walks out of the door angry, “He grabs her by the waist (his cheek red as cyan peppers) and says, “You need me”. Maya then yells, “Get off me!”. The secretary hears the commotion going on in the office but continues reading her news paper because that’s exactly how she got her job at the office. Maya then kicks Mr.Goldberg in his scrotum. He kneels to the floor in pain. That’s when Maya goes to his desk and takes his metal plate name tag and throws it at his head. Maya walks out and says, “Prick”.
She then runs out of the building looking like she saw a ghost. Maya is crying. Her outfit is wrinkled after the scuffle she had with Mr.Goldberg. The secretary looks alarm and saddened that Mr.Goldberg did it to another woman. But she looks to Maya as an inspiration, because she’s had enough pride and dignity to know that she is worth way more, than to sleep with a man for a job like she did. Maya flees the building. Mr.Goldberg fixes himself up and calls the secretary in the room, “Amanda, get in here, come help me out” (referring to sex). Amanda looks ashamed but she knows if she denies him, she will be fired so she walks into his office and allows herself to become his slave.
Maya exits the building and is back onto the street of Columbus Circle and is still crying. The camera does a split screen, with Maya (Tisha) on one side of the screen, and Amanda on the other side of the screen.
*That’s when the beat and the music play for “Hallelujah”, and the song begins to play*
The screen still split see’s Maya walking the streets of NYC crying and distraught, and Amanda lying on Mr.Goldberg’s desk sick of herself for getting in such a situation, her body is unresponsive to his hard pounding. Both women (Maya and Amanda) begin to sing…
[1st Verse]
History sworn into secrecy from
To create an undefined identity
So I will feel I have no belonging
You think you’ve created a vision
For me to live and stand by
But now I have brand new eyes
You’ve violated my place in our humanity
You tried to rip my spirit to shreds
You tried to burglarize my soul
You can’t make me afraid
Respect me for who I am now
[Chorus]
Hallelujah
Look at we’ve been through
Our time has come to change the game
A brand new motto is due
Hallelujah
The mountains we have climbed
Our time has come to change the game
We must realize the truth
A brand new motto is due
[2nd Verse]
No, No, because I am a female
I’ve heard the word no too many times
No, No, because of my ethnicity
I’ve heard the word no too many times
But with those no’s, I use them as stepping stones
To grow stronger and be wiser
African-American and Hispanic Woman
Like the Statue of Liberty, I stand tall with pride
She has to be this, she has to be that
I am fine with the way God has made me
Yes, I am satisfied
I’m standing up more confinement
You can’t tell me nothing now
It’s out of your hands
There’s nothing you can do now
Accept me for who I am now
Maya still singing walks into a Church Chapel and sits down with a group of women having a church service. As Maya walks in the chapel she is still crying, she sees an all women’s choir singing (they are singing the chorus to “Hallelujah”). She sees all women sitting down in the Chapel singing along with the choir. Then she sees a woman at the alter talking to the women on a microphone (Shantel Stiletto). Maya sits down next to the women still crying.
That’s when Shantel YELLS on the microphone…
Shantel Stiletto Verse/ 3rd Verse]
Uh Uh…
We on a mission to get it
Ya'll others better get with it
Could careless bout' critiques
I feel like Romney, I'm winnin'
Keep rappin to my last breath
Flowin, blowin, runnin, and goin
To feed my women, minorities, aint forgetin em'
And they let me straight out my cage
So women, we demandin our respect
If a man actin crazy, you better hit em wit the clap
I roll with the urrrbans, I'm bangin wit ma team
F-E-M oh we risin' slowlie....
Who the hell is he?
Baby IM the "MAN"
Plus I got my girls maken noise like a crazy band
We driven to the money, but the money chase me
Oh who's better now?
Remember Now?
I hope I made it clearer
Ain't nobody better then us
Ain't no competitors
Better pump the prey
Because we the NUMBER ONE PREDATORS
Oh we paint a picture vivid, to see our imagine
But Yall say we just so worthless
Just haten on purpose
So look at what We've been through
A real motto is due…
When Shantel finishes her verse she walks down to Maya, noticing her crying and gives her the warmest embrace. The two women hug each other tightly and that’s when all the women embrace each other. They all hug in the church UNITED, as a group of DIVERSE women, a congregation coming from all different types of races and creeds WORLDWIDE.
* Two Months Later *
Maya is in her own office working as an accountant at a law firm called, “Adams and Associates”. Her boss, and African-American woman named, Bethany Adams. She reads her newspaper and sees on the front page of The Daily New, “GOLDBERG CHARGED WITH LAW FIRM SEX RING”. That’s when Maya yells, “Yes!” and sings the chorus…
[Chorus]
Hallelujah
Look at we’ve been through
Our time has come to change the game
A brand new motto is due
Hallelujah
The mountains we have climbed
Our time has come to change the game
We must realize the truth
A brand new motto is due
*The screen fades to black and you’re left with a quote*
“The greatest achievement for any human being is to reach your goals on your terms and conditions. If we always follow someone’s command and do unjustly things to get to where we want to get to in the world quicker, we won’t have a place in the world to get to.”
