Lauryn Hill – When It Hurts So Bad
When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
Why’s it feel so good? (when it hurts so bad)
(when it hurts so bad)
When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
Why’s it feel so good? (when it hurts so bad)
(when it hurts so bad)
I loved real real hard once
But the love wasn’t returned
Found out the man I’d die for
He wasn’t even concerned
I tried, and I tried, and I tried
To keep him in my life (to keep him in my life)
I cried, and I cried, and I cried
But I couldn’t make it right
But I, I loved the young man
And if you ever been in love
Then you’d understand
That what you want might make you cry
What you need might pass you by
If you don’t catch it (if you don’t catch it)
(if you don’t catch it)
And what you need ironically
Will turn out what you want to be
If you just let it (if you just let it)
If you just let it (if you just let it)
See, I thought this feeling
It was all that I had
But how could this be love
And make me feel so bad? (gave up my power)
Gave up my power
I existed for you
But who-ever knew
The voo-doo you’d do
But I, I loved the young man
And if you ever been in love
Then you’d understand
What you want might make you cry
What you need might pass you by
If you don’t catch it (if you don’t, you don’t)
(if you don’t, you don’t)
And what you need ironically
Will turn out what you want to be
If you just let it (if you don’t, you don’t)
If you just let it (if you don’t, you don’t)
See what you want might make you cry
What you need might pass you by
If you don’t catch it (if you don’t, you don’t)
(if you don’t, you don’t)
And what you need ironically
Will turn out what you want to be
If you just let it
If you just let it
When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
Why’s it feel so good? (when it hurts so bad)
(when it hurts so bad)
When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
Why’s it feel so good? (when it hurts so bad)
(when it hurts so bad)
When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
So bad (when it hurts so bad)
(when it hurts so bad)
(when it hurts so bad)
Lauryn Hill – To Zion
[Featuring Carlos Santana]
One day you’ll understand… Zion
Unsure of what the balance held
I touched my belly overwhelmed
By what I had been chosen to perform
But then an angel came one day
Told me to kneel down and pray
For unto me a man child would be born
Woe this crazy circumstance
I knew his life deserved a chance
But everybody told me to be smart
“Look at your career ” they said,
“Lauryn baby use your head.”
But instead I chose to use my heart
Now the joy… of my world…
Is in Zion! (Zion, Zion!)
Now the joy… of my world…
Is in Zion! (Zion, uhh, Zion!)
How beautiful if nothing more
Than to wait at Zion’s door
I’ve never been in love like this before
Now let me pray to keep you from
The perils that will surely come
See life for you my Prince has just begun
And I thank you for choosing me
To come through unto life to be
A beautiful reflection of His grace
See I know that a gift so great
Is only one God could create
And I’m reminded every time I see your face
That the joy… (JOY) of my world… (WORLD)
Is in Zion! (IS IN ZION) I said Zion! (IS IN ZION)
Now the joy… (JOY) of my world… (WORLD)
Is in Zion! (IS IN ZION, IS IN ZION)
Now the joy… Zion! (JOY) of my world… (WORLD)
Is in Zion! (IS IN ZION, IS IN ZION)
Now the joy… Zion! (JOY) of my world… (WORLD)
Is in Zion! (IS IN ZION, IS IN ZION)
Marching (marching) marching (marching)
To Zion (marching) marching (marching) — we gon’ march
Marching (marching) marching (marching)
To Zion (marching), beautiful beautiful Zion!
Marching (marching) marching (marching)
To Zion (marching) marching (marching)
Marching (marching) marching (marching)
To Zion (marching), beautiful beautiful Zion!
Marching (marching) marching (marching) — MY JOY, MY JOY

Marching (marching) marching (marching) — MY JOY, MY JOY

Marching (marching) marching (marching) — MY JOY, MY JOY
To Zion (marching) marching (marching) — MY JOY, MY JOY
Marching (marching) marching (marching) — NOW THE JOY

Marching (marching) marching (marching) — NOW THE JOY
To Zion (marching), beautiful beautiful Zion! — OF MY LIFE
Beautiful beautiful Zion! — IS ZION
Beautiful beautiful Zion! — IS ZION
Beautiful beautiful Zion!
Beautiful beautiful Zion!

Beautiful beautiful Zion!
Lauryn Hill – The Sweetest Thing
The sweetest thing I’ve ever known
Was like the kiss on the collarbone
Soft caress of happiness
The way you walk your style of dress
I wish I didn’t get so weak
Ooo baby just to hear you speak
Makes me argue just to see
How much you’re in love with me
See like a queen a queen upon her throne
Chorus
Chorus
It was the sweet sweet sweetest thing I know
It was the sweet sweet sweetest thing I know
I get mad when you walk away (don’t walk away)
So I tell you leave, when I mean stay
Warm as the sun dipped in black
Fingertips on the small of my back
More valuable than all I own
Like your precious, precious, precious, precious dark skin tone
Chorus
It was the…Ah
I tried to explain
Ah…but baby, it’s in vain
Speaking on my mother’s phone
The touching makes me think I’m grown, (you ain’t grown)
Sweet prince of the ghetto
Your kisses taste like armoretto
Intoxicating, oh, so intoxicating
How sad, how sad that all things come to an end
But then again, I’m, I’m not alone
Chorus
Lauryn Hill – Tell Him
*Talking*
Yo heh heh tell him it’s like uhh you know uhh
*Singing*
Sweet sweet sweet tell him
Let me be patient let me be kind
Make me unselfish without being blind
Though I may suffer I’ll envy it not
And endure what comes
Cause he’s all that I got and
Tell him…
Chorus
Tell him I need him [yeah]
Tell him I love him [tell him]
And it’ll be alright
*Background singing* Telll himmm be alright be alright
Tell him tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
It’ll be alright
Now I may have faith to make mountains fall
But if I lack love then I am nothin’ at all
I can give away everything I possess
But left without love then I have no happiness
I know I’m imperfect [I know I'm imperfect]
& not without sin [& not without sin]
But now that I’m older all childish things end
And tell him…
Chorus
Bridge
I’ll never be jealous
And I won’t be too proud
Cause love is not boastful
Oooh and love is not loud
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
Everything’s gonna be alright [w/ adlibs]
Oooh oooh yeah yeah aww yeah
Now I may have wisdom and knowledge on Earth
But if I speak wrong then what is it worth?
See what we now know is nothing compared
To the love that was shown when our lives were spared
And tell him…
Chorus w/ adlibs til fade
Lauryn Hill – Superstar
Yo hip hop started out in the heart
Uh huh yo
Now everybody tryin to chart
Say what? Hip Hop started out in the heart
Yo now everybody tryin to chart
C’mon now baby c’mon now baby c’mon now baby c’mon uhh
C’mon now baby c’mon now baby c’mon now baby c’mon
[singing]
C’mon baby light my fire
Everything you drop is so tired
Music is supposed to inspire
How come we ain’t gettin no higher?
Now tell me your philosophy
On exactly what an artist should be
Should they be someone with prosperity
And no concept of reality?
Now, who you know without any flaws?
That lives above the spiritual laws?
And does anything they feel just because
There’s always someone there who’ll applaud?
C’mon baby light my fire
Everything you drop is so tired
Music is supposed to inspire
How come we ain’t gettin no higher?
I know you think that you’ve got it all
And by making other people feel small
Makes you think you’re unable to fall
But when you do, who you gonna call?
See what you give is just what you get
I know it hasn’t hit you yet!
Now I don’t mean to get you upset
But every cause has an effect! Uh-huh!
C’mon baby light my fire
Everything you drop is so tired
Music is supposed to inspire
So how come we ain’t gettin no higher?
[rapping]
I cross sands in distant lands, made plans with the sheiks
Why you beef with freaks as my album sales peak? Uhh
All I wanted was to sell like five hundred
And be a Ghetto Supastar since my first album _Blunted_
I used to work at Foot Locker, they fired me and fronted
Or I quitted, now I spit it — however do you want it!
Now you get it, writing rhymes, in the Range, with the frames
Lightly tinted, then send it to your blcok to have my full name
Cemented (Lauryn Hill!) And if your lines sound like mine
I’m taking a percentage (ka-ching!) Unprecedented, and still respected
When it’s finished, I’m serious, I’m takin over areas in Aquarius
Runnin red lights with my ten thousand chariots
Just as Christ was a Superstar, you stupid, Star
They hail you then nail you, no matter who you are
They’ll make you now then take you down, and make you face it
If you slit the bag open, put your pinky in it and taste it
C’mon baby light my fire
Everything you drop is so tired
Music is supposed to inspire
So how come we ain’t gettin no higher?
C’mon baby light my fire
Everything you drop is so tired
Music is supposed to inspire
So how come we ain’t gettin no higher?
C’mon baby light my fire
Everything you drop is so tired
Music is supposed to inspire
So how come we ain’t gettin no higher?
Lauryn Hill – Nothing Even Matters
[Featuring D'Angelo]
[Lauryn]
Now the skies could fall
Not even if my boss should call
The world it seems so very small
Cause nothing even matters at all
See nothing even matters
See nothing even matters at all
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters at all
[D'Angelo]
See I don’t need no alcohol
Your love makes me feel ten feet tall
Without it I’d go through withdrawal
Cause nothing even matters, at all
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters at all
Nothing even matters
No-thing matters at all
[Lauryn]
These buildings could drift out to sea
Some natural catastrophe
Still there’s no place I’d rather be
Cause nothing even matters to me
See nothing even matters
See nothing even matters to meee
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters to me
[D'Angelo]
You’re part of my identity
I sometimes have a tendency
To look at you religiously
Cause nothing even matters, to me
Nothing even matters
Nothing even mat-ters
Said it don’t matter, baby baby
Don’t matter
[Lauryn]
Now you won’t find me at no store
I have no time for manicures
With you it’s never either or
Cause nothing even matters, no more
See nothing it don’t matter
See nothing even mahhh-ahhhters no more
Nothing even mahh-ters
Nothing even matters no more
[D'Angelo]
Now my team could score
And make it to the Final Four
Just repossessed my four by four
Cause nothing even matters, no more
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters no more
Nothing even matters
No no more
[Lauryn]
To me, to me, to me, to me
To me, to me, to me, to me to me to me
(freestyle singing to end)
Lauryn Hill – Lost Ones
It’s funny how money change the situation
Miscommunication leads to complication
My emancipation don’t fit your equation
I was on the humble You on every station
Some wanna play Lauryn Like she dumb
But remember not to gain new under the sun
Everything you did has already been done
I know all the tricks from Bricks to Kingston
My thing done made you king Don Juan run
Now understand L Boogie Non-violent
But if a thing test me run to my gun
Can’t take a threat to my new-born son
L been this way since creation
A groupie car you’ll far from temptation
Now you wanna lie off of seperation
Tarnish my image in the conversation
Who you gonna scrimmage, like you the champion?
You might win some, but you just lost one
Hook-You might win some, but you just lost one 4X
Now, now how come your talk turned cold
Gain the whole world for the price of your soul
Trying to grab hold of what you can’t control
Now you gonna floss what a sight to behold
Wisdom is better than silver and gold
I was hopless now I’m all hopeful
Every man wanna act like he’s exempt
Need to get down on his knees and repent
Can’t slip talk on the day of judgement
The move man similar to a serpent
Tried to play straight, how you whole style bent
Consequence is no coincidence
Hypocrites always want to play in a sense
Always wanna take it the full out extent
Always wanna make it seem like good intent
Never wanna face it, when it time for punishment
I know you don’t wanna hear my opinion
There come many paths and you must choose one
And if you don’t changem then the rain soon comes
So you might win some, but you just lost one
Hook
You might win some, but you really lost one
You just lost one, it’s so silly how come??
When it’s all done, did you really gain from (gain from)?
What you done, done it’s so silly how come?
Now don’t you understand man universal law
What you throw out, come back till you soar
Never underestimate those who you scar
Cause karma karma karma comes back to you hard
You cant hold God’s people back that long
The chain of Satan wasn’t made that strong
Tryin’ to pretend like your word is your bond
But, until you do right or you fo or go wrong
Bow some might mistake this for just a simple song
And some don’t know what they have till it’s gone
Even when you gone you can still be reborn
And from the night can arrive the sweet dawn
Now some might listen and some might shun
And some think that they’ve reached perfection
If you look closely, you’ll see what you become
Cause you might win some, but you just lost one
Hook
You might win some, but you really lost one
You just lost one, it’s so silly how come?
When it’s all done, did you really gain from?
What you done, done it’s so silly how come?
2x
You just lost one (8X)
What’s a bum, bum??

I didn’t mean to turn you on (I didn’t mean to turn you on!)
Like Sherell! ( Uh Huh)
Kids move they body like they’re tripping off of acid, Anthony
Not even fantasy can surpass it (Unh, unh!)
Once you blast it one starts to feel kinky
I think thee, goes by the name of Young Slinky
And just when you thought it was safe to relax (Safe to relax!)
L-Boogie spits with perfect syntax! ( Perfect syntax!)
Then, DJ Skribble make you dribble on the wax (What?)…

Keep It Tight! (Keep It Tight)

Lauryn Hill – I Used To Love Him
As I look at what I’ve done
The type of life that I’ve lived
How many things I pray the father will forgive
One situation involved a young man
He was the ocean and I was the sand
He stole my heart like a thief in the night
Dulled my senses blurred my sight
I used to love him but now I don’t
I used to love him but now I don’t
I chose a road of passion and pain
Sacrificed too much and waited in vain
Gave up my power ceased being queen
Addicted to love like the drug of a fiend
Torn and confused wasted and used
Reached the crossroad which path would I choose
Stuck and frustrated I waited, debated
For something to happen that just wasn’t fated
Thought what I wanted was something I needed
When momma said no I just should have heeded
Misled I bled till the poison was gone
And out of the darkness arrived the sweet dawn
I used to love him but now I don’t
I used to love him but now I don’t
Father you saved me and showed me that life
Was much more than being some foolish man’s wife
Showed me that love was respect and devotion
Greater than planets deeper than oceans
My soul was weary but now it’s replenished
Content because that part of my life is finished
I see him sometimes and the look in his eye
Is one of a man who’s lost treasures untold
But my heart is gold I took back my soul
And totally let my creator control
The life which was his to begin with
I used to love him but now I don’t
[Repeat to end]
Lauryn Hill – Forgive Them Father
[Featuring Shelly Thunder]
[Shelly Thunder]
Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us
Although them again we will never never never trust
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!
Them not know what them do
Big out to yi while I’m stickin like glue
Fling skin grin while them plotting for you true!
[singing]
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
(Me nah tellin them no more)
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
(Be real, them not a clue!)
Beware the false motives of others
Be careful of those who pretend to be brothers
And you never suppose it’s those who are closest to you
To you
They say all the right things, to gain their position
Then use your kindness as their ammunition
To shoot you down in the name of amibition, they do
Ohhh
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
[rapping]
Why every Indian wanna be the chief?
Feed a man ’til he full and he still want beef
Give me grief, try to tief off my piece
Why for you to increase, I must decrease?
If I treat you kindly, does it mean that I’m weak?
You hear me speak and think I won’t take it to the streets
I know enough cats that don’t turn the other cheek
But I try to keep it civilized like Menelik
And other African czars, observing stars with war scars
Get yours in this capitalistic system
So many caught or got bought you can’t list them
How you gonna idolize the missing?
To survive is to stay alive in the face of opposition
Even when they comin, gunnin I stand position
L’s known the mission since conception
Let’s free the people from deception
If you looking for the answers then you gotta ask the questions
And when I let go, my voice echoes through the ghetto
Sick of men trying to pull strings like Geppetto
Why black people always be the ones to settle?
March through these streets like Soweto, uhh
[singing]
Like Cain and Abel, Caesar and Brutus
Jesus and Judus, backstabbers do this
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
It took me a little while to discover
Wolves in sheep coats who pretend to be lovers
Men who lack conscience will even lie to themselves, to themselves
A friend once said, and I found to be true
That everyday people, they lie to God too
So what makes you think, that they won’t lie to you?
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
(Forgive dem, forgive dem)
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
(Forgive dem, forgive dem)
[Shelly Thunder]
Gwan like dem love while dem rip you to shreds
Trample pon yuh heart and lef yuh fi dead
Dem a-yuh friend who yuh depen pon from way back when
But if you, gi dem yuh back dem yuh mus meet yuh end
Dem not know what dem do do
Dem not know what dem do do
Dem not know, dem not know, dem not know, dem not know
Dem not know what dem do do
(Forgive them father, forgive them father…)
