“Hip-Hop isn’t just music, it is also a spiritual movement of the blacks! You can’t just call Hip-Hop a trend!”
“We can’t plan life. All we can do is be available for it.”
“We call ourselves creators and we just copy.”
“This life is a process of learning.”
“I’m a mess but God is dealing with me every day. That’s what all these songs are about: problem, cause and solution.”
“The only wealth I have to give, is not material - and if you need much more than that, I’m not available.”
“Nobody’s going to force me to do something against my will. What do I owe anybody that I should submit my will to them?”
“I had to learn the hard way some really important life lessons. There was really no one there to say, don’t do this or don’t do that.”
Happy 37th Birthday to singer-songwriter, rapper and actress Lauryn Noelle Hill (b. May 25, 1975)
one of my favs
Lauryn Hill / Social Drugs (by mulkiber)
Lyrics:
These social drugs x 4
Afraid to address
The reality before me
Too proud to confess
That im addicted to a lie.
So I seek temporary feeling
To replace reality
Though the truth is telling me I have to died,
But I’ve been taught to numb it
sedate it, don’t confront it
I hate when I find out
That I can’t get what I wanted
This emotional tantrum
Has become sort of an anthem playing every time I need to take a little trip
To hide this condemnation
I’ll find a combination
Of a man made stimulation
to deny my situation
Now this unreality
is distorting what I see
Reporting back to me
A sense of false security
So in my imagination
I must find a recreation
Desperately in search of ways
To alter my sensation
there’s no equilibrium
inebriated till im numb
intoxicated till im dumb
to avoid confrontation
these social drugs
messing with my mind
these social drugs
telling me I’m fine
now this chemical analogy
is our emotional reality
these political
traditional
and ethnical stimulants
and the social etiquette
won’t let us be too upset
with the way things really are
your taught to camoflage regret
and our religious structures
tell us GOD want us to suffer
to support a situation
we all know is obligation
and if you shun the complication
they’ll just gun your repuation
like mob intimidation
to enforce participation
see they need to keep us fiends
to their lies and broken schemes
and if you find another means
your told your being to extreme
and if you wanted to get clean
they’ll just pull those social strings
holding up their social nose
defying noble things
now were all stuck in tradition
unable to state opposition
to afraid to contradict
the expectations of the system
oh and the harsh reality
is they’ve made graves for you and me
instead of saving you and me
theyre just enslaving you and me!!!
these social drugs x 4
know what i mean? x 2
these social drugs x until fade out…
Happy Belated Lauryn.
