  • oh wow.

  • WE LOVE U VERY MUCH..WALK WITH CHRIST.YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORLD IS ALL ABOUT,AND HOW THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IS NOT OF THE GOD WHO CREATED THIS WORLD AND PUT US HERE TO DO HIS WELL.KEEP PRAYING MAMA,GOD WILL SHOW U THE WAY.WHATS FOR U IS FOR U..AMEN

  • I will always love this song.

  • She's talking about more than drugs. She's talking about the music industry and life. A clever witness. Just as messiah she talks in parables to witness because this indusrty controlled by the mafia is life or death. She remind me of pac more and more.

  • @dayonguinyard you are right. Lauren knows the truth about the industry and she chose to walk away and keep her soul.

  • Wow

    

  • We love you Lauren and we respect whatever you decide to do...

    Curtis is very proud! :)

  • Blessed by the Most High Jah

  • I cry when I hear this song

  • Love this song. I needed to hear this.

  • 1 of the best song of this world thou there is more this is 1 of them! blessup!

  • Who cares that the video doesn't match up to the song and lyrics. It's still Lauryn singing. By far, amongst my top three (In this order)!... Yah --> Family ---> Lauryn Hill

  • By far, amongst my top three favorite!... Yah --> Family ---> Lauryn Hill

  • if you think thi imposter is reall lauren hill.. your a dumb ass.

  • lets distinguish between correction and judgement. Judgement means to sign somebody off and say there isnt any hope, but correction points out flaws and then tells u where to find the answer to ur question. Lord i love u, and keep showing ur face to ur children

  • truth is truth but only when one sees it 4 oneself.in other words truth can never be objectified,4 truth by it's very nature is a subjective thing.it is best to love therefore and not judge one another.after all we are all one.but seeing is beliving or better put,seeing is knowing in the realest sense.peace to all of Gods reflection.

  • We appreciate you Lauryn as you know. More than coming back, please be obedient to whatever and wherever your spirit is leading you. Thanks for sharing.

  • Ela é uma mulher de coragem... admiro-a e espero um dia ser como ela.

  • all of us r chosen..but someone of us hold a special wll 4rm God..like Lauryn..Jah bless

  • ...been "sober" for 13 months IDK if things are any better, but i know Lauryn Hills music has never been better. It must be hard to compete when you have no competition.

  • I'm glad she got out of the matrix. I love and miss her, but glad she got out. God Bless you Lauryn!

  • break it down.nice and slow

  • Lauryn has always spoke the truth and because fantasy is what people want they dismissed her and called her untalented. No one wants to be found out...she exposes us all thats why she was under appreciated But I am glad that there are still those of us that deek and know the truth...

  • Her voice brings peace to my soul. A true gift from the most high. Educate us my sister.

  • BEAUTIFULLY SPOKEN

  • She's right but keep it smokin jajajaja

  • "...And if you shun the complication, they'll just gun your reputation like mob intimidation to enforce participation..." Exactly what they do. Social system, social control, social repression...

  • Listen to these words and live for G-D. Many are called but few are chosen, remember that when those around you tell you to follow along. As Bob said "every time you see the light people tell you that you're wrong , but everything is alright everything is alright" and that is why plastic haters hating on this beautiful human being.

  • shes prophetic..a voice that GOd can use, as HE reveals whats truly what.. we are 2 truly be more than about only our own households,etc..The Spirit of God awaits willing vessels, not too caught up in owns agenda to be that change..we must all strive to be.. & then, the changes, the world will see..

  • Come back Lauren??? SHE NEVER LEFT.

    The INDUSTRY turned they're backs on her and the cameras on someone like Beyonce, because LAUREN HILL SPEAKS THE TRUTH.

    Question is: where did YOU go America?

    STAY INFORMED. STUDY HISTORY and KNOW THE POWER OF YOUR HEARTS.

  • This is why the public paints her as unstable because she speaks the TRUTH.

  • i can listen to this woman voice and her words of truth all fucking day long!!!!

  • Absolute POWER!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I Think she's doing everything she needs to do she's sending her message without compromising herself in the process. She's saying what she wants without selling out allowing the media to coherse her every word we were created by God and he deserves all the glory. Music has alot of effect on the spirit we have to be very careful what we let contaminate our minds and our spirit keep letting God lead you to spread the truth God bless.

  • LOVE IT!!! LOVE U LAURYN!!!

  • Lauryn please drop another album. The game needs u babe!

  • For her to make these songs knowing full well of the backlash she may recieve, the feathers she may be ruffling and the honesty she spills knowing that people are always on stand by to clean it up, she is a very brave and wonderful lady.

  • I love it, She is a real lryicist . IT all real talk...

  • ABSOLUTE TRUTH !

  • She is so amazing. What a loss to this generation for not having her voice around anymore. The words to the song are ... whoa.

  • Selah

  • it's time for rebirth and spiritual wealth

  • AMEN!

  • The world needs to hear these words.

  • yes ma'ma

  • @lesbmistique .. Noe what, i'm gonna have to disagree with ur req....I wouldn't want her to come back b/c i'd be afraid the industry would try harder than it did before to claim her and her real talent!!

  • @lesbmistique Beautiful Person, Musician and and Poet. And Not a racist despite what some would say. I really want to make music with her.

  • @lesbmistique lol shes been back. She headlined rock the bells festival last year and is doing so again this year. Shes performing the entire miseducation album

  • @mzgabbylovesmoney

    listen to her new song, its called "Repercussions"

  • She is so goregous,Lauren we all miss you please come back!!

  • Lauryn u are amazing! WOW.

  • i did not know that she could play

  • thats a misinterpretation of scripture...

  • hows its 'supposed' to be interpreted superman?

  • Truth is seldom liked or understood by the masses, one day people will realize the lie they have lived. Wake up! Only 144,000 will be called.

  • Actually when you read revelation 7:4-9 its more than 144,000 . The 144,000 is the governing body of the kingdom thats gonna be on the earth with Christ before we meet The Father.

  • This woman is the TRUTH! I'm always blown by the words that come out of her mouth. Mouth piece of God...

  • yes. i love her too and i am praying for her. she is the best.

  • yeah..k33p prayin 4 r grl..lauryn hil. i cry hearin dis song..this iz wat we damn well call real muzik....damn plz FREE MY CUZIN JIT-BO..this is his story...

  • This is the shit.. Boogie, do you thing, get bigger and bigger, and let people know what's really goin on in this world.

    people do you even know what will happen to us in 5 years..!? Micro chips in our close, Nano products in our food, omg. This world is so Sick! One Love ! Peace, let's help eachother save the planet!

  • what wonderful thoughts she has!!!...bless...sher

  • L-Boogie doin her thing i luv it......

  • Pure expression of the soul. L Boogie = amazing lyricist. Another product of the Bricks!

  • She the personified perfection of Music.

    real or fake- it makes u think and touches you- one way or the other profound

  • I was fortunate enough to see her while in the Fugees and twice as a solo the last being in 2004 Chi-town and if anyone gets the opportunity to see her you must. She will blow you away... Disregard the analyzation by pointy fingered folk ....she is a true artist.

  • 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe...

    thats why we should think twice before treating someone of crazy.

  • To understand, 1 Corinthiens verse 19-21. GOD bless

  • 1 cor what??

  • sorry. In 1 cor 1, verse 19-21 it says:

    19For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate." 20Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

  • I love lauryn hill best singer ever bt cant let my soul sit and listen to her because involved in all this neo soul stuff.

  • I love the artists in Lauryn but I'm not so sure the inner spirit is right. I think she's extremely talented but com on man she's on some other shit. God is not about confusion if he be for you no demon in hell can stand against you. Why aren't we always striving to be real? Damn it's old for me let's just be us and let the rest ride dawg.

  • she is a perfect example of a person striving to be real look at what she evolved into....and it doesnt matter how much u try to connect with the divine u will have inner demons but u will get to a point where u can control them and conquer that shit...like her conquering lion song...it takes skill to be real... hotep my people..get concious

  • i love u lauryn. i have nothing bad to say about u, miss hill..

  • We are our own worst enemy it's funny how we think we all that and a bag of chips because we let other sick people help us tend to the ego that's inside us all. I think this women had a lot of mental problems other than what she sings about I mean she really went off into the deep end after lieing about writing the Mis EEd of Lauryn. That shit was killing her inside mantaining a lie. The Bible say our sickness comes from the inside of us not the outside. Is she every happy anymore

  • i feel what your saying,but COME ON, if u know lauryn,u know she wrote the misED,maybe it might of been problems with the beat makers or sum otha shit that we dont know and probably never will,but I KNO lauryns style and all the way bak to the fugee days,and she wrote that shit..sum of it she even freestyled like that superstar verse and songs like ex factor and i used to love him were her actual poems made into songs,lauryn doesnt need ghost writers she too fuckin talented

  • You must not know the real Lauryn Hill.......she writes all her music. You should do reliable research (National Inquirer doesn't count) before speaking of such fooliness.

  • I absolutely love her!!!

  • She is my inspiration . Cause i know im not crazy for thinking the way i do. They is other people who think like me . make me know that im still sane, just have my third eye open, out he box, Jah bless her.

  • No u're not alone! Me too, I think just like Lauryn, she gives me hope through dis song letting me know dat there is still a conscious in this world. God bless y'all !!

  • Nah you're not insane, you're aware

  • it's a harsh crazy reality...

  • A very peace and soothing song, even if we don't understand what she says it makes us Think ! A very inspiring song ! L.Boogie is great, a really true artist ! PEACE

  • She'll come back if she hasn't lost her voice. She's going through a stage of growth as she tends to her loved ones and as she spews up at the negativity of her society. But she'll figure out that there's another mission for her, and that's to give people hope through music, instead of just trying to make them realize all the shiz that goes on around us - cause it's always been that way, but there's always been beauty and hope and love etc. despite it all. when she turns the current page...

  • Unfortunately, I don't think that she has the same vocal prowess that she once possessed. However, I don't think that it will matter because her songs come STRAIGHT from the heart and sound just as they should , perfect , honest, and emotional.

  • you are ignorant if you dont get the message

  • esta mulher é a melhor de todas;..

  • We need more people like them. These babies of this generation are being led astray by these so called entertainers. The only thing or the only concept in which they entertain is the lowest of form of mind control. Lets all unplug!!!

  • SHE'S AMAZING

    i'm missing words here...if only people would pay more attention to such artists

  • The current set up of this system is anti-nature. One has to be high off of "social drugs" in order to cope. Lauryn has unplugged and with that she is helping others do the same. Jah Bless

  • Wotever she is, WE still love HER anyways. It aint ur bizness wot she does wit her private parts,but HERS! so stop hating, DJKCEL

  • I love her soooooo much! I don't care what ppl say about her.

  • -PerFeiitoOo....eLa e D+............-

  • Beautiful

  • Yeeya... Lauryn is goodness wrapped in ONE yo!!!

    shux, lyk for realzz... who comes up with this?

    str8 God given talent ryt thurr!!! Keep rockin your music Miss Hill... One love !!

  • this watermark will be removed after registered

  • Okay ...so ..I love!!

  • Beautiful

  • i was thinking the same thing yesterday

  • la amo

  • SHE IS SAYING SOMETHING I am lost though whats she saying?

  • its best to learn through self realization.

  • Point is that most people use social drugs (literally and figurative drugs)as a crutch. Real pleasure can only be found when we are sober. Be who you are, and be that well.

  • So why don't we talk about why there are not enough artists taking this stance. Are they afraid of something? Our current popular entertainment is destroying the psyche of the youth, both black and white. Many espouse that entertainment has no real effect on people but the truth is it controls the masses at some level. I for one am sick to death of thugs,hos ,and gunplay.

  • I agree with you until the very end...I could very easliy say im tired of snootie,selfish,richie poo's but I have no needto go there....But fake thugs on the t.v screen yes I too am tired of ;-)

  • Danm agree with you !

    And i just want to add that this song is really brilliant. I want to thank Lauryn Hill for sharing her toughts with us.

  • just to sit here and read all this back and forth, with the exception of one comment there is no uplifting each other just people trying to prove what they know and shine a light on what others dont take a minute to listen to the song again then challenge yourself to comment with pure positivity

  • this song took my breathe away...i have to take a closer look at my self and figure out why i chose social drugs

  • THE BIBLE SAYS A FOOL SAYS GOD DOES NOT EXIST AND HE THAT DOES NOT KNOW THE LORD THY GOD IS ALREADY CONDEMNED.TAKE HEED!!! GOD IS REAL!!! YOU ARE ALL LOST!!!,but THE LOST, BY GODS GRACE WILL BE FOUND. I FOUND YOU NOW FIND HIM. SEEK KNOWLEDGE AND THE TRUTH WHICH IS IN THE BIBLE AND GRAB FAST HOLD TO IT IT. IS THE "MILK & HONEY".REPENT AND ACCEPT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR SO THAT YOU MAY BE SAVED AND BE ACCEPTED IN THE HEAVENLY KINGDOM.DENY AND YOU WILL SURELY BE DENIED AND SENT TO HELL

  • your just another zombie my brother...awake

  • yeah what y'all said

  • What year was this??

  • Idk the yr of this video but this song was out around 2003ish

  • oh wait..if you look at the credits of the video it says 2003.

  • I really dig the stuff she writes about these days. It makes you think. Know what I mean?

  • yea it does make u think ..makes me think of the reality before our eyes, which is completly crazy at times...

  • people need to opn there mind, lauren style of music is a higher thought, she is a great muscian. ONE LOVE. TEK IT EASY

  • she could if she wanted to

    easily

    she hasn't made another album because she doesn't want to

  • i firmly believe that she is trapped in contractual slavery. She made the industry millions and is still bringing in money today, she only gets a portion of this, ergo she cant afford her own worth to the record label to buy herself out. not to mention the fact that her campaign to get herself dropped isnt working out, she is stuck in a horrible situation(from my understanding, and i still may be wrong, since Ms hill hasnt called me and revealed any great details.) i just pray for her liberation

  • I agree. I often say if Columbia ever drops her we will get an album in the next few months.

  • one of my fave besides Adam lives in theory

  • everything she is saying in this song is true social drugs is killing people mental and physically

  • It's something about her voice and lyrics, i wish she had a cd or something with all of her new songs

  • Is this song in any downloadable format to get for my ipod?

  • I dont agree with dootiehole lauryn doesnt owe us more work we owe her something else to express her talent by than everyday scenarios'the music industry is in worse shape than ever she got out of bs.even tho her work is missed just put what you like on repeat.so f who agrees with the part of the statement by dootiehole made about her owing us.use your hands count to three drop tha first two thats for you.j/k yeah and no mostly no

  • I see where you're coming from, but am not so quick to agree with 'booing' anyone Down for the Cause (however they may phrase it to our dis-agreement.). Everyone is at their own stage and at their own place. I'm confident that in due time, Dootihole will see that Ms. Hill doesn't owe us, but that WE OWE THE CAUSE SHE REPRESENTS (to represent, of course)!

  • I liked the whole, "use your hands count to three drop the first two and thats for you" lol. (Prays) LOrd PLease Forgive Me!

  • Lauryn needs to make a new CD dammit! She owes it to us! We have nothing to listen to that makes sense. God has given her a tremendous talent and a message to go with it! We neeeed her back!!

  • Wake up. The longer we sit asleep in Babylons system the harder it will be for our children. Please realize Freedom is when you and your neighbor, eat until the next harvest, drink until the next rain.Gold has NO VALUE.

    It is based on abstract concepts based on scarcity.

    We no longer live in scarcity.So its simple For the children wake up. Lauren thanks from the bottom of my heart.Take control we can do it and live in abundance and prosper, but we must stand up!

    The elite will become obsolete.

  • "they need to keep us fiends to their lies and schemes, and if you find another means they'll say you're being extreme..."

    there's three things you can't hide: the sun, the moon, and the truth... this song is the latter of those three

  • Lauryn speaks the truth the real truth in all her songs and that truth is that Jesus Christ is real and we should live our lives everyday as though we are aware of that and live in that truth in our everyday lives. She is a true inspiration and an amazing women. Keep up the good fight girl your not alone in this war and one day we will see a brighter day. ya dig...

  • Jesus is real? WTF does that have to do with her? Go talk about Jesus elsewhere

  • Jesus has everything to do with Mrs. Lauren! If you knew anything about her then you would know that.

  • Ok, whatever! There is no jesus!

  • are u serious !?!?!?!

    there is a God and Jesus is the son/

    lamb of God..he comming back to heed to the word it's time.........

  • Who told you there was a jesus?

    I'd just like to know.

  • the word says it(bible)..there's God,jesus(lord)the son and the holy ghost..tey are all one

  • Ok, i think it's time you did some research into that religion and how it stole most of it's stories from Kemet. Just research the bible and kemet and see what you get!

  • umm i have already did all of that... i have research christianity back to the birth of it ..all of the info is true and yes the events have tken place in africa..i still dont see how u dont believe in jesus..explain please

  • His name is Yahoshua not jesus, jesus or zesus,is a roman deity. A white man belief in their religion.The true messiyah was a black hebrew check the record.

  • Are you serious. Please explain why more people have died in the name of God...and milions are oppressed in the name of God. People are still war in the name of God. Please ask him what the hell is going on and why he allows such dispacable things in his name! Why doesn't he "talk" to them and tell them this behavior is not acceptable! And Let's not even go into the oppression of women in the name of God. Not enough room on this post!

  • umm..who died?..wut woman? wut dispacable things in his name?..please tell me..

  • Sweety I was referring to the brutality chronicled in the history of religion as a whole. Have you not heard of the crusades, the spanish inquisition just to name a few... Maybe you didn't get those history lessons! The conflict in the middle east is largely due to religous fighting! So I am asking are you serious to actually put that much into your "belie

  • of course i heard of the heroic crusades to regain the holy land.the 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th ..and yea inquisition too..and the only reason why it was religous fighting is because everybody was religous at the time..just because christianity was corrupted back them dont mean it's still is.....oh u say how can i put so much in to my "belief"..it's called faith!!!!..do u have it??

  • I have faith in humanity not god! I was indoctrinated by my parents but through maturity I see the farce in religion and choose not practice. u think the crusades were heroic. "Christians" are ok with torture and violence as long as it is in their benefit.I guess to you guntanamo (SP?) is probably heroic too. You know we gots to beat the Arabs! since you have so much Faith you had better not curse, get the hook up, think negatively EVER, listen to secular music, wear pants,and the list goes on.

  • look i'm not going to keep argueing with you.

    as i said before and i'll say it again christianity was corrupted back then<<key word

    no one every said it's ok with torture and violence as long as it is in our benefit.you cant judge me or my faith on wut some crazy christinas did years ago.I'm not them.

    and we all are human who fall short every now and then..and as for having faith in humanity thats just the craziest thing i heard,u should have faith in God not in humans they cant save ur soul

  • I also overstand religions, but I do believe in a higher power. The ancient Egyptians believed in a God; Amen-Ra the Sun God is mentioned the most. Which of course is why Christians say Amen, little do they know they're praising the Sun God.

  • actually when we say "amen" we're saying we agree with what ever was said...

  • Ha Ha Ha, The word Amen is a declaration of affirmation found in the Hebrew Bible and New Testament. Its use in Judaism dates back to its earliest texts. It has been generally adopted in Christian worship as a concluding word for prayers and hymns.

    If you don't open your mouth to speak, nobody will know how truly ignorant you are.

  • Are u talking to me??..

    hello I kno that(if u were)...carzy..when i said "with what ever was said" i mean in the prayer

  • Ignorant?...NEVER! That meaning of Amen, is what you have been told! When you unplug from the Matrix and realize the true origins of religion (the Egyptian pyramids) then you'll see that you're apple pie isn't so fresh anymore.

    I recommend that you read "They Came Before Columbus" by Ivan Van Sertima. That book will provide some insite.

  • maybe u should step off god on a lauryn hill song, she's a very firm believer and since your being an ass, to be quite frank, do it on a slip knot or 3 6 mafia page. religious rules and practice and God can be seperated from a true mature soul. ur generalizing and being completly arogant. u have faith in humanity? are chrestians not human? god's not a chrestian, gods not jewish and gods not buddist, hes the faith u have for all humans, u believe in God in a different form then religious devoutes

  • you called me an ASS for what such a good christian! Look I don't believe in God. If we all try to further the HUMAN RACE regardless of race or creed it would be a lot better here on earth. I am of no religion at all but I give more time and money to the community than most christians I know. As I listen to Lauryn Hill when she references GOD I think of NATURE it is the thing holding us here. Life is to be revered not something I can't see. And look how you all get in defense. go smoke one!

  • Dont worry I got you, Mrs. Hill & Jesus back, lol

  • Ms. Lauryn Hlll at her finest!
