Sarah Gonzales yeah as much as I love Eminem & Kanye they cannot sing like at all but they don't really sing that much anyway. Lauryn can sing really well and rap really well. I still don't think no one was ever able to do that that made it big. Drakes the closest but he's average for both rapping and singing. I personality don't think Nicki can sing but everyone has their opinions I guess
It's crazy because I didn't care for the song much when it came out. I was accustomed to most songs having some kind of message (Im from the 80's and 90's). Hearing this 20+ years later hits different. Like damn her message is loud AF here in the future.
@K.B.Williams The message of the song still applies to a lot of people today it's crazy how insightful she was when she wrote this even though she was still so young.
Jesus Christ wants a personal relationship with you through the Holy Spirit, not religion and blind faith. You see, we all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ, fullness of God in flesh, a perfect, sinless sacrifice to pay the penalty for our sins by dying on the cross and resurrecting, so that we may have everlasting life. It is all finished and now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and Bible says that His Blood will cover all of your sins, you will be forgiven, saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit, become born again, know Jesus personally and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read the Bible, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you and change you, obey the Word. Much love and God bless you!
This song taught me self-respect, self-love, worth and value at 5 years old and it hasn’t left. I’m 25 now and when I have a daughter I plan to introduce her to Lauryn’s music in the womb. I love this woman. I want to thank her in person one day. She also was so very unapologetic in her melanin which really spoke to me without me knowing. 🥰
You should 100% introduce ur future baby to ms lauryn hill !! She is a wonder . And u should also ALWAYS unapologetically be u, and ALWAYS unapologetically be proud of ur melanin and who u are . 🤍
I’m not discrediting that this is an awesome video and she rocked it. …but it isn’t hard to dance/stand at 6 months pregnant. Lol I’m sure she was tired though. Videos take forever to finish.
@@lukasblur3500 Sorry but that information is incorrect. Where have you been that made big news that she did not give credit to the proper writers and producers that worked on the album. She didn't do it all by herself. I've had discussions with people in the industry about it.
classic. I remember when this came out in 98 I was 7. This was on radio everyday for weeks and my mother brought the album the same day it came out. r.i.p mommy😍😘😢 I'm here cause of you. man I miss lauryn
Honestly I don’t know which side of the screen to look at more. She’s EQUALLY beautiful on both sides. Lauryn Hill has that kind of timeless beauty that would have stood out in ANY time period.
One of the best songs of all time, both musically and lyrically! "Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem. Baby girl, respect is just a minimum" and "The punk domestic violence men, money taking, heart breaking men, and you wonder why women hate men. How you gonna win when you ain't right within?" Love it because it's all said from a place of wanting both women and men to get right and respect themselves and each other

If aliens were to come and ask who do we have that could represent the physical beauty of humanity. We can show them this video. She is extremely beautiful.
Am I the only one who considers Lauryn Hill as one of the best singers ever? I mean, she can rap, sing gospel, reggae, soul. She can sing like an angel and suddenly use her hoarse voice with that nasty accent: she gives me goosebumps. She's also beautiful but she never used her beauty to hide some default.
I heard her sing when she came to my country with The Fugees back in the day, honestly no one has ever made me feel the way she did when she sang. Her rapping flow, lyrical prowess gets mentioned a lot but her incredible singing is overlooked too often I think. She is flawless in her execution, roaming all over the stage pitch perfect and her tone, her unique sound is just so fucking stunning!
23 years later* It only got put on UA-cam 11 years ago. Crazy, right? That _one line_ holds so much weight even today! This song is a legitimate *CLASSIC!!!*
"Lauryn Hill‘s debut album ‘The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill’ has gone diamond after selling over 10 million copies in the US, making her the first ever female rapper to achieve the feat." What an absolute legend! I can't put into words how much love I have for this album!
Ironic how I was vibing to Lauren today and saw you in the comment section lol, most definently the GOAT femcee and the most beautiful women artist I ever seen my life , she's so pure and I'm not trying to sound like a old head but this type of music won't be reincarnated ever , this one of a kind only one who will come close to this is Tink

The corn. Ms. Lauryn Hill, God is with you. I personally do not know who you are, but God told me he is with you. Welcome to the dispensation of The Spirit Of Truth.
This video reflects how the same warning and advice that was needed in the 1960s was still needed in the 1990s and is STILL needed now in the 2020s. THIS is the epitome of a timeless classic!
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name. Amen.
Not too many lyricist out there and if they are lyricist, they are being over shadowed by these candy rappers. What happened to telling a story? All you hear about now is sex, how much money they got, and how many chicks or men they pull. When you've heard one, you've heard all.
Please do. These rappers, I mean candy rappers could learn a thing or two from Lauryn, Common, Wu Tang, Nas, Mc Lyte, Queen Latifah, Taliban Kwalie, Royce Da 5'9. I can go on and on. I just named a few.
@@bluepharaoh1766 People like Ms. Hill are very few in numbers... Nowadays ( I am sorry for generalizing or offending anyone) woman artist are fully naked talking about sexual stuff and degrade themselves, you watch those videos it's hard to imagine doing them 60 different way... They think the less I wear the more it will help my status and self esteem and empower me.. No my friend on the contrary you lose respect and it will not do anything with empowering you as matter of fact the older you get the more depressed you become.
I truly believe The Most High inspired Ms Hill to write this album. It saved my then troubled teen aged daughter who was on the verge of living life too fast as a young person. She'd listen to this C.D. night and day back in 1998. Thank you Lauryn.
blackcougar1959 in the first person I ever heard you say that that's the stuff that stuff thumbs up thumbs up the most high know what's going on you know what's going on
Cali Prynce Jesus wasn't white for one.☝. for two. he died for our sins. we are undergrace. he said abolished the law so ALL foods are good. 3rd off do your research and actually read the Bible before you judge Christains or anyone for that matter.
See this is real beauty..they didnt have to get half naked to get views....they promoted independence, inner beauty, black beauty and self confidence..but the media doesnt like to see us in power so what did they do? Replace us with half naked narcissistic Sasha fierces', man-stealing dominatrix Nicki minajs...with lighter bleached skin and blonde hair....smh
I'm a metalhead. I really wish music and music videos like this were still made. You're fucking right I was rocking this in the late 90s in my mom's trailer in the pine tree forests of North West Florida.
This was the sound of many summers for me. My mom always pulled out The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill right around spring-summer. Soo many good memories😢😊
NO DISRESPECT, but how many artists can drop 1 solo album and it alone carries that artists respect, and praise for the rest of their Career, I know LH got Fugee, and other joints but besides for hardcore fans that always want more, everyone just accept her process and low maintenance rockstar game since the late 90s. Legend! Queen! You know
Amy Winehouse. The woman only made two albums, but 'Back to Black' is one of the best-selling albums of all time, with over 16 million copies sold worldwide. Look at the legacy she left and all the artists that became popular in order to fill the gap she left.

Alisha Robertson she is overrated, her bars are mediocre at best, her rhyme is basic, her lyrics doesn’t even carry a message, and have you checked out her album, it received bad reviews.
Lauryn was that woke chick! Damn! Every lyric she spit was truth goodness! And I love her Tammi Terrell look from the 1960's she's truly a beauty, natural and made up.
Candace Michelle all ISRAELITE sisters are beautful in the natural, its just that most do not believe in themselves enough to go natural, and think that weaves and wearing underwear out in the streets is what makes them beautiful.
Miss Lauren has been telling us for a long time.Just look at all the programming in the back scenes with the 303's.She got out of that s***She's one of the lucky ones.Love you miss lauren❤❤❤
I think people interpret differently but a hard rock is tough, rough, perhaps even ugly (both inside and out) due to the environment it is subjected to. But a gem is often concealed beneath, and can be so much more. A diamond, for example: beautiful, brilliant, precious, and the hardest naturally occurring substance on earth. Be tough AND precious, recognize and own your incredible (self) worth! That's how I take it :)
When female emcees were in the forefront with a positive message....can we say the same for this era??? Is the radio safe and healthy for young girls to listen to anymore???
It isn't healthy for young boys too. Eminen raps about raping his own mother, hitting and raping women etc. Male rappers rap about pussy, and other unimportant things. So yeah I think today's hip-hop even though it may sound nice sometimes, it isn't that healthy for both young girls and boys.
Lauryn Hill is underated the industry never gave her the respect she deserves because she was exposing and telling real truth about the media and the world.
@@Ibrahim-dj5hu he refers to the story, nobody knows her right now and it is not because she is underground, she is unknown because it was not convenient for her to be an icon
"the industry never gave her the respect she deserves" Bro, they gave her 8 grammies. Queen, Hendrix, Joplin, Bob Marley, The Ramones, The Who, Tupac, Snoop, The Doors, Nas, Biggie, Grateful Dead have none.
Underrated in what sense? She was the youngest, first female and BLACK female at that, to win the most grammy’s in one night. She flipped and exposed the industry because they couldn’t keep up with her perspectives. Current or not, she’s still at the top of the list for many.. people will never forget a true artist. She knows she doesn’t have to be currently current but her messages will always find their way
hahah yes, fat ass bitches nicky minaj and iggy azalea are fake whores, and not have talent, only bitches with bad rapping. lauryn is the real queen of rap not the crap artists on today. 👍
+InBrooken yes they not like her 👆but that does not mean tbey whores and that does not mean that thay cant rap lauryn is old and is gone its all good to listern but to call nicki and iggy whoers is too much
takitezy7 she did sell out like many other celebrities,sony gave lauryn hills a second chance to have a comeback with her music career,it was three million record deal but she refused because the elites wiil control her and had to do santanic rituals and many other sick things like having sex with the same sex,beastislity etc .if she wants to become big,thats how the music industry works. You sell your soul to the devel for fame and fortune ,you have to denounce jesus as your savior and salvation and died for man kind from sin.lauryn hill sings song about how the industry oppressed her from fully expressing herself musicaly and how she wants to break out the industry which is such evil,shes been fighting with the elites for years csuss she want follow them and their evil agenda to the masses so she can deceive people through people copying her ,people not studying the scriptures of god and more.the person save her and take her out of this sick and twisted music industry is Jesus Christ.they say becareful what you dream of because it will turn into your worst nightmare.I pray for those who bonded themselves to the devil so they can find salvation snd peace
This song should be re released or used in a movie or TV shows as it's just as relevant now as it was back then. Lauren laying down the truths that things don't change much that applies to ALL young men and women.
My mom used to play this so much, kinda only one of the few thing I remember about her. #ripmoms I LOVE YU MAMA I SWEAR YO BBY BOY GONNA MAKE YOU PROUD
Just my opinion so sit yo ass down. But to me Lauryn Hill was one of the best lyricists out there. I'm talking female and male rappers. She had bars for dayzzz!!! Shes a legend, you cannot compare her to rappers these days. I wish she made more music. Gosh I miss this era of rap and r&b!
This is such a clever, thoughtful, well thought out song that holds a mirror up to our everyday vulnerabilities, for all genders. Rock on Lauryn, you’ve paved the way for so many to be able to think outside the box and to View love from a higher angle. You were a very smart young lady then and an even wiser woman now. Thank u
I understand her perspectives stop acting with your impulses wanted too say behave like animals but animals can be very kind The analogy would not stand subconsciously she chooses the perspective of a female and that is good only a female can really understand Life is real in the moment but funny in hindsight again perspective a bad experience over time can become you a memory you Will laugh at. Hence too soon But I respect Lauren now I give the same amount to my self Sorry for my grammatics Play a victim you be one
Lauren you can still make a comeback and no one would question it. Your gift is recognizable
Fully agree. AMEN
Wow i like dat
oh man that's gonna make me cry 🙏
I saw her live in 2018 for her 20th Anniversary tour. One of the best nights of my life!
What are you talking about? Legends make a comeback whenever she wants and people will come

“How you goin win when you ain't right within."
These lyrics couldn't be more true.
Relationship?
What does she mean by that
Basically someone that is trying to change your outward appearance but not your inner self.
Or basically saying if you want change in your life, you need the change the way you act within
what does it mean though? For non native english speakers this does not make much sense.
oh nvm it was answered alreayd =)
One of the best songs of all time, both musically and lyrically! "Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem. Baby girl, respect is just a minimum" and "The punk domestic violence men, money taking, heart breaking men, and you wonder why women hate men. How you gonna win when you ain't right within?"

No matter what it is, Lauryn Hill will forever go down in history with one of the best albums ever in music. The '90s were truly a great time.
Kevin Yeoh the 90’s where quite inspirational except the rapist we had in the White House at that time.
+Young Rio she doesn't compare to Lauryn at all though
Young Rio charts don't define how good music is
dawee59 wellll, it does show that song had more sales. typically, popular songs sell. cardi's music resonates with the masses
Yep
She is like the mother of rap ❤️❤️❤️
Queen Latifah, missy, lil Kim, foxy brown, da brat.....come on now, that’s just 5 off the top of my head. Credit where it’s due, please.
Andrew Henry I’m not denying other very talented Rappers? However she influenced hip hop greatly!
ola
They were 3,eve,missy and lauryn
Alivera Namuganza Missy was amazing as well! I just feel L really helped the youth with her biblical approach to rap
Classic Lauren Hill joint 🦾😎😎😎🦾🦾🦾
"don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem" Preach Lauryn.
Hoping that's not the only thing you was paying attention to 🤔
@@kio9906 Lol you're funny.
We all can agree that UA-cam didn't recommend this for yall,you searched for it😊...good music indeed,timeless classic
So true lol
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name. Amen.
Lol it’s my ringtone and when my phone rings ppl around me start singing it🤷🏽♀️so definitely still a hit
I got recommended this and clicked on it cuz I knew what it was
True blood
Lauryn Hill is a lyricist. There is a big difference between a rapper and lyricist. Anybody can be a rapper. Not everyone can be a lyricist.
That's what I been saying!
Not too many lyricist out there and if they are lyricist, they are being over shadowed by these candy rappers. What happened to telling a story? All you hear about now is sex, how much money they got, and how many chicks or men they pull. When you've heard one, you've heard all.
Aleathia Hudson I swear you speaking my language. I can go on and on about lyricism!
Please do. These rappers, I mean candy rappers could learn a thing or two from Lauryn, Common, Wu Tang, Nas, Mc Lyte, Queen Latifah, Taliban Kwalie, Royce Da 5'9. I can go on and on. I just named a few.
Aleathia Hudson damn right sister.
Celestial beauty, my good God, this woman couldn't be more perfect.
"How you gon win when you ain't right within?" Still revelant in 2019
WINSPIRATION 4 ALL
we need singer same her ❤️❤️🇧🇭❤️❤️
It will forever be relevant. And today’s artists need to be spreading that message... instead of... let me stop.
This Lady was and is a gift sent to us all....
Mil grau 🙌👏
@@bluepharaoh1766 People like Ms. Hill are very few in numbers... Nowadays ( I am sorry for generalizing or offending anyone) woman artist are fully naked talking about sexual stuff and degrade themselves, you watch those videos it's hard to imagine doing them 60 different way... They think the less I wear the more it will help my status and self esteem and empower me.. No my friend on the contrary you lose respect and it will not do anything with empowering you as matter of fact the older you get the more depressed you become.
I truly believe The Most High inspired Ms Hill to write this album. It saved my then troubled teen aged daughter who was on the verge of living life too fast as a young person. She'd listen to this C.D. night and day back in 1998. Thank you Lauryn.
blackcougar1959 black cougar aaarrghhh . wsup baby
blackcougar1959 definitely the most high especially her song zion
blackcougar1959 in the first person I ever heard you say that that's the stuff that stuff thumbs up thumbs up the most high know what's going on you know what's going on

faiisca 94 excellent comment
faiisca 94 i agree
faiisca 94 I wish female rappers today are like laruan hill and doo wop real passion for music
See this is real beauty..they didnt have to get half naked to get views....they promoted independence, inner beauty, black beauty and self confidence..but the media doesnt like to see us in power so what did they do? Replace us with half naked narcissistic Sasha fierces', man-stealing dominatrix Nicki minajs...with lighter bleached skin and blonde hair....smh

As a metalhead, I love that you loved this
I think everybody needs a little Lauryn Hill. This song is especially relevant to my current situation, calling me out 😅
@@LuxuriousLenay Just remember, the message of this song is empowerment. You're in charge, no matter what them aint shit dudes say.
Damn she hotter n fire
OP Can i use your face for a reddit face meme?
Lauryn Hll always be one of the greatest female rapper.
If i mention Missy, would you go on an uneducated debate with me?
always!
The greatest IMO
Top ten for me male or female.
This was the sound of many summers for me.
My mom always pulled out The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill right around spring-summer.
Soo many good memories😢😊
"don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem!" Classic!
"How you gonna win when you ain't right within" - absolute perfection!
Please stop comparing Cardi b and nicki Minaj to this beautiful and outstanding LEGEND!!!! THANKS❤❤❤
Who ever is has been smoking that crizak
@@JamesBond-qr5kr lol right
nicki minaj is literally the queen of rap but ok
That has nun to do with this video😂
Who tried to compare them🤨
Ain't no comparison😂😂
easily the best female singer of all time
Hjerez17 you right
Hjerez17 she's also a Mc rapper
true don't forget mc lyte
yep.
No not the best SINGER. But one of the best emcees. Male or female.
NO DISRESPECT, but how many artists can drop 1 solo album and it alone carries that artists respect, and praise for the rest of their Career, I know LH got Fugee, and other joints but besides for hardcore fans that always want more, everyone just accept her process and low maintenance rockstar game since the late 90s. Legend! Queen! You know
Amy Winehouse. The woman only made two albums, but 'Back to Black' is one of the best-selling albums of all time, with over 16 million copies sold worldwide. Look at the legacy she left and all the artists that became popular in order to fill the gap she left.
Wow , just wow this music speaks volumes from the 90s till today , now this is a queen
Joseph Archibong she needs to do a 1990s vs 2010s that would be interesting.
Lechiffresix six hell yeah it would so we can see how far we've fallen
So true

dang, you went back in time for this classic
For real I remember being in my 30s jamming to this song, now I'm dead but I still revisit this song every now and then
Thats true
Jesus Christ wants a personal relationship with you through the Holy Spirit, not religion and blind faith. You see, we all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ, fullness of God in flesh, a perfect, sinless sacrifice to pay the penalty for our sins by dying on the cross and resurrecting, so that we may have everlasting life. It is all finished and now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and Bible says that His Blood will cover all of your sins, you will be forgiven, saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit, become born again, know Jesus personally and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read the Bible, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you and change you, obey the Word. Much love and God bless you!
It's 3:20 am and I laugehd way too hard at this 😂
This whole Album was Fiyah! Lauryn was untouchable in her day and really today. I've not heard a female rapper at her level
Gladys Dark uhmmm... Cardi B. 1st solo female rapper since lauryn to top the billboard chart. Also cardi broke Beyonce records
Alisha Robertson she is overrated, her bars are mediocre at best, her rhyme is basic, her lyrics doesn’t even carry a message, and have you checked out her album, it received bad reviews.
I agree and I love her on sister act 2: back in the habit
Gladys Dark her and cardi b
you should check out Noname and Rapsody
Lauren Hill - What a wonderful Person ❤❤❤❤
Lauryn was that woke chick! Damn! Every lyric she spit was truth goodness! And I love her Tammi Terrell look from the 1960's she's truly a beauty, natural and made up.
Candace Michelle all ISRAELITE sisters are beautful in the natural, its just that most do not believe in themselves enough to go natural, and think that weaves and wearing underwear out in the streets is what makes them beautiful.
Candace Michelle Say it again. Woke for sure.
She was pregnant at the time
Woke to broke.

its crazy i have heard this song several times but the lyrics hit me heavier now! wow "Dont be a hard rock when you really are gem"
lovelychi I was just thinking the same thing she snapped in that first verse!!
Exactly
explain it a little, i have an idea but dont know
I think people interpret differently but a hard rock is tough, rough, perhaps even ugly (both inside and out) due to the environment it is subjected to. But a gem is often concealed beneath, and can be so much more. A diamond, for example: beautiful, brilliant, precious, and the hardest naturally occurring substance on earth. Be tough AND precious, recognize and own your incredible (self) worth! That's how I take it :)

When female emcees were in the forefront with a positive message....can we say the same for this era??? Is the radio safe and healthy for young girls to listen to anymore???
I don't think the mainstream radio is good for anyone.
No we can't say the same about this era! Radio is horrible! (Even Sirius/XM sometimes and I PAY for that!)
The whole music industry is Dangerous!!!! It was just better hidden from us back then.
It isn't healthy for young boys too. Eminen raps about raping his own mother, hitting and raping women etc. Male rappers rap about pussy, and other unimportant things. So yeah I think today's hip-hop even though it may sound nice sometimes, it isn't that healthy for both young girls and boys.
who cares ????
You can tell when some people cant stop their greatness even if they tried LAURYN HILL is one of those ppl
Lauryn Hill is underated the industry never gave her the respect she deserves because she was exposing and telling real truth about the media and the world.
bro she was the first rap artist to win a album of the year grammy she aint underrated at all
@@Ibrahim-dj5hu
he refers to the story, nobody knows her right now and it is not because she is underground, she is unknown because it was not convenient for her to be an icon
"the industry never gave her the respect she deserves" Bro, they gave her 8 grammies. Queen, Hendrix, Joplin, Bob Marley, The Ramones, The Who, Tupac, Snoop, The Doors, Nas, Biggie, Grateful Dead have none.
@Conquest da faq they tried lock n herr up n she shud b bigger than Adelo boy once combined. Yah that 🪨
Underrated in what sense? She was the youngest, first female and BLACK female at that, to win the most grammy’s in one night.
She flipped and exposed the industry because they couldn’t keep up with her perspectives. Current or not, she’s still at the top of the list for many.. people will never forget a true artist. She knows she doesn’t have to be currently current but her messages will always find their way
Lauryn HIll was really trying to look after the block with this one. Both men and women. What a masterpiece
She is so organic real black woman stood up to the industry legendary Lauren hill
Best female Mc ever and it ain't close
hahah yes, fat ass bitches nicky minaj and iggy azalea are fake whores, and not have talent, only bitches with bad rapping. lauryn is the real queen of rap not the crap artists on today. 👍

I'm 44 and still listening to Lauren Hill. Il be in my 80s and showing my Great Grandchildren Lauren Hill.
Respect for not selling out to Satan! Much love!
takitezy7 she did sell out like many other celebrities,sony gave lauryn hills a second chance to have a comeback with her music career,it was three million record deal but she refused because the elites wiil control her and had to do santanic rituals and many other sick things like having sex with the same sex,beastislity etc .if she wants to become big,thats how the music industry works.
You sell your soul to the devel for fame and fortune ,you have to denounce jesus as your savior and salvation and died for man kind from sin.lauryn hill sings song about how the industry oppressed her from fully expressing herself musicaly and how she wants to break out the industry which is such evil,shes been fighting with the elites for years csuss she want follow them and their evil agenda to the masses so she can deceive people through people copying her ,people not studying the scriptures of god and more.the person save her and take her out of this sick and twisted music industry is Jesus Christ.they say becareful what you dream of because it will turn into your worst nightmare.I pray for those who bonded themselves to the devil so they can find salvation snd peace

do you go around posting this comment on every song?
Just my opinion so sit yo ass down. But to me Lauryn Hill was one of the best lyricists out there. I'm talking female and male rappers. She had bars for dayzzz!!! Shes a legend, you cannot compare her to rappers these days. I wish she made more music. Gosh I miss this era of rap and r&b!

This is such a clever, thoughtful, well thought out song that holds a mirror up to our everyday vulnerabilities, for all genders. Rock on Lauryn, you’ve paved the way for so many to be able to think outside the box and to View love from a higher angle. You were a very smart young lady then and an even wiser woman now. Thank u
I understand her perspectives stop acting with your impulses wanted too say behave like animals
but animals can be very kind
The analogy would not stand subconsciously she chooses the perspective of a female and that is good only a female can really understand
Life is real in the moment but funny in hindsight again perspective a bad experience over time can become you a memory you Will laugh at.
Hence too soon
But I respect Lauren now I give the same amount to my self
Sorry for my grammatics
Play a victim you be one
Definately!
