More From Lauryn Hill

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?

I'm rightly tired of the pain i hear and feel, boss. i'm tired of bein on the road, lonely as a robin in the rain. not never havin no buddy to go on with or tell me where we's comin from or goin to or why. i'm tired of people bein ugly to each other. it feels like pieces of glass in my head. i'm tired of all the times i've wanted to help and couldn't. i'm tired of bein in the dark. mostly it's the pain. there's too much. if i could end it, i would. but i can't.

We was just young guys who wanted to change. we got tired of doin' this same everyday bullshit that we was doin', and we all felt like we had dreams o' bein' a big star. you know, as far as with myself, i never really took it that serious as bein' a star. i only took it that serious as bein' a emcee, which is two different things. you know what i mean?

Gittin' talked about is one o' th' penalties for bein' purty, while bein' above suspicion is about th' only compensation fer bein' homely.

So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.

When you think of a chef you think of somebody that could cook - you don't think of chef that says, 'yo, i make only steaks'. no. a chef knows how to bake, he knows how to fry, he knows how to sautee, he knows how to do everything that's pertaining to food, and that's how i felt about my lyrical position. it's like i would say, 'today i'm gonna make a hot salmon. tomorrow i make you spaghetti. the next day i make you baked fish'. this is how my lyrical content in my head was already bein' reciprocated to the world, bein' given to y'all like that.

I think sometimes the fashion world isn't even about clothes anymore; it's about this 'in' crowd, and i'm not into that.

When you think that most of us are doomed by divine grace to roast in hell, to say nothing of mortgages and hail and bad crops and extravagant womenfolks, 'tain't any laughing matter!
