Lyrics:
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
This is Wyclef, Refugee Camp (L-Boogie up in here)
Praswell (Praswell up in here, haha)
Lil' Base sittin' up here on the bass (Refugees up in here)
While I'm on this, I got my girl L (ah, ah)
One time (one time), one time (one time)
Ayo, L, you know you got the lyrics
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him, and listen for a while
And there he was, this young boy, stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time, one time)
Singing my life with his words (two times, two times)
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he'd found my letters and read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on
Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time, one time)
Singing my life with his words (two times, two times)
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Yo, L-Boog, take me to the bridge
Whoa
Woah-oah-ah-ah-ah uh, uh
La-la-la, la, la, la
Whoa, la
Whoa, la (ha, ha, ha, ha)
La-ah-ah-ah-ah
Strumming my pain with his fingers (yes, he was singing my life)
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words (whole life, with his words)
Killing me softly with his song
Yo, put your hands together for L-Boogie (strumming my pain)
From the Refugee Camp (yeah, yeah)
(Singing my life) up in here, you know how we do, L-Boogie up in here
Wyclef, Praswell, said L-Boogie up in here
Wyclef up in here
My man Lil' Base (Praswell up in here)
Jerry one time
T Rocks up in here, we got Warren up in here
This is how we (Warren up, up in here, Outsiders up here)
We got Fallon up in here, Mulaney, Mulaney's up in here
(Refugee Camp, Refugee Camp, yeah)
Everybody got a breakin' point kid
And they'll rat on you
The family niggas will rat on you
That's why we gotta be prepared to take whoever out we need to

ONE album was all she needed to become a legend

[@caitlindudar1393]

She is already ❤

when youre so good effortlessly.....the cofidence is charisma

[@jamesrawlins735]

I'm still so sad that Lauren kind of went off the rails for awhile (we'll never know what exactly happened for all of that period).

[@robertpisciotti5930]

Cool as the other side of the pillow

[@mokorangi6380]

@@jamesrawlins735she had kids bruh… she wanted to raise them right.. everyone always saying she went off the rails. SMDH

[@Frinkett]

She is the type of artist to when you are in the crowd, you shut up and take her words in as a blessing. Pure magic.

[@jayillest9981]

I was born in 89 and She is my child hood and still the best soulful singer I’ve ever heard to this day

[@KING_NOLA]

One word to describe perfection: LAURYNHILL.

[@Ohsolovely2]

She has such a stunning face

[@Nan_96]

Likely not allowed since it was being filmed.

[@miggsmiggs904]

She needs to tour cause we miss her. I remember her at my 8th grade graduation and me screaming to her to sing x-factor and she did at LUIS MARIAN MIDDLE SCHOOL IN NEWARK,NJ I will always remember that day.

[@jamesrawlins735]

She did tour in 2023 for the 25th anniversary of The Miseducation of Miss Hill (but cancelled the last part of the tour). She still has her issues (and seems to get angry when fans call her out on being late or not performing well) - but it also seems she has some issues with her voice.

[@reekfarida8208]

This voice... damn! So gifted.. it carries much emotions in there❤

[@timothymercer849]

So beautiful, powerful and naturally gifted.

Pelos de punta!! Admiración abasoluta por una ARTISTA que cantaba a un nivel muy superior!
Da lo mismo el tiempo que pase, que seguira siendo un EXITO, y al ver la interpretación en directo... las emociones que me produce ver el vídeo mientras lo escucho, son de lo mejor!

[@suzysmith9186]

I first saw her on star search when I was a little girl. I loved her from then on. She’s magical. ❤

[@rgbbn7879]

Sometimes remakes try to be too much like the original or too different. This one was perfection. It’s a complement to the original and so different at the same time. You can help but feel this version all the way through you. It might be my very favorite remake and I love Roberta’s version too.

[@israeltaukane4448]

What a wonderful voice! It's always good to hear you, queen.

[@Loreley1975]

Major Randy Crawford vibes… absolutely love this live version ❤
