- Ms. Lauryn Hill
- You all doin alright? You ok?
Im not screamin at ya, Im just askin you a question
Yall givin me a clap
A yes is fine ok?
I love that song
Thank you praise God
I tell you, I know everybodys in the same mess, Im telling you, we all are
I know that, you know, and Im just, you know
Ill be the first to tell you, you know, Im a mess and God is dealing with me everyday
And everyday Im trying, you know, how I can be less of a mess
Cause you know, he showed me
Look Lauryn , you know, Youre the problem, ok
Im going to show you how youre causing the problem
And now I want you to be the solution
And thats what all of these songs are about
Just , problem, cause and solution
Free your mind
Its like, we all think that the gospel is join and church building, and thats deception, you know
The real gospel is repent, which means let go of all that crap, thats killin ya
Life was supposed to be a pleasurable experience, not this torment, you know
And when I realized that I was tormenting myself, it was about my lust
It wasnt about things that I needed it was just, you know, all these security blankets
I mean, the more I acquired I became more of a prisoner
I mean, you know, forty people on staff, and you cant do nothing, and now creativity is impossible
Because all you can think about is all these folks that you know
Youre supporting and carryin and you knowits not good
You know, everybody a friend of mine says that every tub has to stand on its own bottom, you know
And in that respect, we all get to do what our passion is
See thats what praisin God is all about, is doing your passion
You know, its not useless, worthless ritual, you know, monotonous ritual
Where we just show up and cant wait to see the game, you know
Its doing your passion and fulfilling your passion, you know
Thats how were thankful
Thats how we say we appreciate the opportunity to be alive
And Im just glad that I, you know, I dont have to slave anymore
You know, cause I, music was my love
And because of everything I thought had to accompany my music it became my burden
It just got stolen from me, I said, What is this?
How did this thing that I love so much so easily and so quickly turn to something I loath and hate?
And so now, you know, I understand that it was because I was measuring myself
Or trying to compare myself to a standard that wasnt reality
It wasnt the standard at all, you know
Theres a scripture in the Bible that we, what does it say
It says We compare ourselves amongst ourselves you know
Thats not the standard, you already are the standard
What are you trying to fit into a standard for?
We were each created to be individual standards, you know
And were tryna fit into a standard? It doesnt make any sense, you know
So now Im just, you know, afterall that, Im just ready to be me
And its a lot to work through, you know
Because all of us have hidden in these little boxes purposely
Because of parts of ourselves that we were unhappy about
And its because we didnt understand, you know
Because theres all this social doctrine that says, you know
That the infinite God, with all this expression, who created every single one of us
Absolutely different , on purpose, wants everybody to fit into the same suit
But like, you know, thats deception, thats deception
Ok, let me just, I think this is the wrong one
I dont think this is the right one
We took, we were in, um, Florida this weekend
And we took the kids to Disneyworld, and um
You know we were going, they gave us a tour
So they escorted us through the back
And when they escorted us through the back
We got to see how, you know, there all these people workin all hard
And it was like, real dirty back there, and of course, in the front it was all immaculately clean
And I said, I said, you know
People need to see the reality, they need to see, you know, how these people slave to maintain this illusion
And it felt like my life, I said, If people only knew what it was. Its like, you know
A bunch of musicians, listen, bustin their mm workin all hard to make it look easy
Whats the point? You know, Oh, uh, I just threw this together, uh
You know, its like, you know what Im sayin? I mean, you know
Slaving, slaving to act like, you know, I wake up like this
And none of us do, you know, none of us do, none of us do
And reality is good cause that means everybody could just exhale
Let your belly out, you know, and chill, you know
But people get mad at me when I say, Look, lets stop frontin
And Im saying, you know, thats the blessing
Now we can go around and look at each other and say, Oh, you got one too?!
And be free
And we want to defend the curse, Ill tell ya, that was not fun
Did it for a long time, too long
You didnt find it? Its another white one
But you see in my purse or the, the other bag?
Or the green one? Ghetto, you know, its reality, ok?
Are they ready? Oh lets see
One time, it came to me, you know, I was just told very concretely
You know, it was like that voice, the right one, said to me
He said, Lauryn, you know the real you is more interesting than the fake somebody else
I just want you to know that
Because we always thought we could get, you know
We could get reality by just putting on the clothes and wearin the face and you know
Lookin hard in the video, but, you know
Reality is its like Ive always told to my husband, its like, look, you know
We look at Bob Marley, you know, and we say
Ok, lets just grow locks and wear the clothes and have the band
And we have no many idea how many years of struggle and pain and suffering that made that content
You see what Im saying? You cant get it from the outside in
Truth is from the inside out, you know
And the way weve been trying to heal and be healed is with these topical, surface, superficial, temporary solution
And Im telling you, true healing is from the inside out
You know, weve been told to protect our outer man while our inner man is dying
Oh, this is the one, ok
Boy Ill tell ya, God made him for me
Im something to put up with
And to endure that is amazing
Ill be the first to tell you, trust me
Yall could clap cause thats some real work
I was in there in the room, you know, before we came out here
And he said to me, I said, Ro should I change?
And he said, yeah
So I looked at him, I said
Why did you tell me to change I was comfortable, man
But I asked him the question
So I went in the room and I tried on all these clothes and I was like, I feel like an idiot
So I pulled out all these clothes and Im sayin, ok Ro, you know
Pack the bag neatly, you know, Could you put the clothes back in?
And hes like, alright
So hes trying to do this but then Im like
No! now take this out! now put that back and take that out!
Put that back, hold that, take, that, put
The orange shoe! the orange shoe ! so Im like
And then after awhile I just said, Ro baby, could you leave?
Please get out the room, and I just put back on the clothes I came in
Ok, I was like Im just not there anymore
Nah, Im telling you. Its like, uh
Hey you know hes learned
Because before we used to just beef and now hes like, Okay
Im out, oh man its real
God gave us a brand new relationship, man
I mean, one in truth, you know. Its like, we date people
Like lets say, you know, were interested in somebody and we put on the perfume and dress up
And then we do things that we will never ever ever do again!
You understand what Im sayin? Its like.
And thats why so many marriages end up in divorce
Its because people wake up next to a stranger
They say, Who the hell are you?
What are you doing in this bed?
Wheres that man that used to do du, dua, and du
And Im sayin lets give them reality from the door because
Youre gonna to attract love, and the one that really loves you
And then you dont have to pretend and falcify, and you know, keep that posture
You know, you know, I cant, Im just like
Ill never forget when I first met him I said to him, it was like
He saw me eating in front of him, and he told me, he was like
You eat like a man, you must not like me
You know, because, women, usually they keep that posture
And I said, nah, I said its not even that, you know
Its but, this is reality, this is, you know
And thats it, man, I mean, Im just telling you
Its so wonderful to finally find
And trust me, its a work in progress, its not something that happens overnight
We all have to be introduced to each other
Im telling you, I know that Im up here and you see, Lauryn Hill, you came to see Lauryn Hill
But this is the first time yall meet me
You see what Im saying ?
Dont think you met me before, ok
And as I grow, youre going to meet me a little bit more
Youre gonna be exposed to the real me a little bit more
I can tell you I had to reintroduce myself to everybody I know
My mother my father, listen, yall never knew me
I want to introduce you to me, Im just getting to know me
And you know what, anything thats not growin is dead, so we better be changing
You know, people would say to me, they would hold me hostage
And they, seriously, emotionally hostage, and theyd say, Uh, shes changing
The moneys changing her and Id say listen, the moneys not changing me, Gods changing me
Im changing, because thats a natural part of life
Were all supposed to change
Who wakes up and is the same way tomorrow and the day after that?
Nobody is, let the experience teach you and be real, man
And, um theres gonna be warfare involved
Because theres some people who prefer deceptions, see
They say, uh, I dont like this new expression, and I say
What, you want two-thirds of me to stay outside?
Im a whole person
You cant say, you know, two-thirds of Lauryn, come in here
Only two-thirds is acceptable, Im a whole person
You know, and thats everybody, you always talkabout spiritual warfare and we did
Didnt realize that it was in relationships
Its emotional warfare, being able to tell the people we love the most the truth about ourselves
And when they say, Hey that doesnt fit into our box for you
We say, Well, I aint in no box
Dont try to put me in one
Im going to play a little bit of guitar with this one, but I might
I might stop its cause I really want you to listen to the words
So if I stop, you understand why, I want you to really hear the words
