[yaya2ice]

Cant help but think Lauryn Hill is deep man I wish she would get back in the game! Then she can show these fake MC's and singers up!!!

[8yaKub8]

wow

[burkinafaso19]

Why for you to increase, I must decrease?

If I treat you kindly does it mean that I'm weak?

[JahmeneDouglas]

Lyrical Genius .. simple :) 

[EnergyWasted]

I think this song is about Newt Gingrich.

[UneqlyDesigned]

This is a true testament of faith and love when you can ask of him for redemption for this worlds short comings.....NOT 2 B OPPRESSORS BUT 2 B LIGHTS SHINNING IN THE WORLDS DARKNESS. WHERE OTHERS DON'T TRULY KNOW THEIR GIFTS OF HIM ON HIGH..... PBUY

[jimbo420ism]

amen! 

[funkchick65]

The lyrics: So Good, So Now and So Wow !

[Widmark33]

Where is Lauren Hill November 20th 2011?

[19EHF]

Everyday people lie to GOD, SO WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THEY WONT LIE TO YOU? I'd like to see Niki Minaj sing some deep stuff like this

[ActionFiggaOne]

@19EHF nicki has done some really deep stuff before...don't doubt her :)

[music4thoughts]

@ActionFiggaOne when?

[ActionFiggaOne]

@music4thoughts Autobiography. You can tell she was literally crying while recording the song.

[music4thoughts]

@ActionFiggaOne Sorry doesn't compare, two completely different people and artists, but everyone has their own personal opinion I guess ;-)

[19EHF]

FORGIVE MY TRESPASSES AS I FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US........... ALTHOUGH THEM AGAIN I SHALL NEVER NEVER TRUST

[19EHF]

OMG SHE SPEAKS THE TRUTH. BEWARE THE FALSE MOTIVES. KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A REAL FRIEND AND A "PRETENDER". BEWARE THE AMBITIONS OF OTHERS AND YOU WOULD NEVER THINK IT IS THOSE CLOSEST TO YOU.

[19EHF]

FORGIVE US FATHER FOR WE KNOW NOT WHAT WE DO!!!

[IPICKHIM]

please Father forgive us for pretending to know what we are doing. Blind leading blind. Save us from our own cause of self destruction.

[lozzymagoo]

This album is gold!!

[orangejuiceNyQuil1]

This is The Song Of My LIFE I LOVE IT

[JustDancce9000]

The TRUTH!

[thesonyakyleshow]

I AM FEELIN THIS ABOUT THE FOLKS THAT ARE IN MY LIFE..ONE BACKSTAB AFTER ANOTHER...TIME FOR HOUSE CLEANING..LOL

[efonius]

Now that I'm getting older I appreciate good music like this!

[nasaginx]

Thanks to Ms. Hill for not being a sell out!..The truth are within her words...great lyrical genius.

[twiklight]

Lauryn I love you. Hope you and those babies are happy!!!!

[BigOentertainment15]

this song is dead on!!

[azeleapark]

1999...  my orlando days

[octaviadodds42]

luv it

[WideAsleep22]

to the haters...

[DaneBeezy]

It's sad we can't get anymore albums like this anymore. If it's not about sex, swag, clothes, cars, and trifling women it doesn't sell..

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

@DaneBeezy bullshit. adelle sells millions. thts just one. ur obviously not looking tht hard. take it someone told u tht and u just repeated it. such a cliche.

[DaneBeezy]

@JiMMyJaM08061991 what are you talking about kid? first off what I stated was fact and it's proven by what's played on the radio and second if that person "adelle" is so nice why don't I hear about them on the radio constantly like other artists that are main stream? Fuck out of here with your wanna be right opinion. Don't try to hide the truth bitch

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

@DaneBeezy u do ,shes on the radio all the fucking time, her album was number one for weeks and she was one of the big performers at this years vmas. i doubt u even listen to radio, thts just s stock phrase. radio play singles, the play wats big, they play wat record companies sell them, they play what peple wanna hear. u wouldnt have heard this shit on the radio either whn it was out. this son probably ddnt get a single radio spin.

[DaneBeezy]

@JiMMyJaM08061991 two different artists, two different genres. big difference

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

@DaneBeezy no it isnt its exactly the same. radio has always been the same, they never played kick in the door on radio in the 90s but i bet they played hypnotize and mo money mo problems, u think those were songs for hip hop heads.

[DaneBeezy]

@JiMMyJaM08061991 exactly the same? I'm laughing right now! Lauryn Hill & Adele are in two different genres and you can look it up for yourself. Adele is country, blues, and pop. Lauryn Hill is hip hop so how can you compare two different genres. Different styles and different flows and even if they did play "hypnotize" and "mo money mo problem" it was hip hop cause It's telling a story. The first comment I posted on this video was directed towards hip hop!

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

@DaneBeezy because all radio works the same, they play the popular songs and singles sent to them. if a rapper today made mo money mo problems theyd get shat on for selling out cos the beats to poppy, the called nas a sellout for i ruled the world. radio is always the same always has been people just like to bitch, like i said its stock phrases, theyre not even real opinions theyre just things people say, radio in the 90s was exactly the same,its always been the same.

[lashondraable]

@JiMMyJaM08061991 it aint about who playing where what and when i believe what everyone is trying to say is this song is inspiring to all who have a hunger for the truth..and u come off like vomit..smmfh!!!!

[ThePiushigh]

hot

[MonisMind]

PREACH!

[Nieles1989]

love the hiphop & reggea influence so much

[Daisylovesris1234]

Lauryn hill > nicki minaj HA HA HA enough said. Best female rapper.

[Jazzedboltz]

the only sad thing is that sometimes they do know what they do

[MrMarlonski]

Beware the false motives of others, be carefull 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 ambition they do.. ooh.

Forgive them Father for they know not what they do.

[MsTripl3threat]

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

#DEEP

[kemeticshogun1]

I love this song, but I believe they DO KNOW what they do, I am no longer naive. they would do anything to materialize their every wish. Let us burn down BABYLON. RASpect and Idance.

[rrjones91]

everyday peoples will lie to god. so what makes you think they wouldnt lie to u...TRUE

[Topet3a]

but she was able pass on the message .... nice job Lauryn Hil

[koolj1994]

...Every day people, they lie to God too,

So what make you THINk that they won't lie to you?

[MsAfricanIndian]

not one dislike on this song.

[BeautyHealthZoneBlog]

I have this album....It IS the TRUTH!

[lilddonovandark]

i remember this one

[serapaku]

now this is how you do a song about judas lady gaga ...

[WideAsleep22]

@serapaku Lady Gaga's Judas is not about the litteral Judas. In general, it's about being in love with the person who keeps bullshitting you while your knight in shining armour is always there and loves you unconditionally.

[33sera]

Like Cain and Abel, Caesar and Brutus, Jesus and Judas,

Backstabbers do this

[earlhill1]

i swere she not lyin.

[fuhcyubytch]

beware the false motives of others

[MrSaul2011]

"Everyday people, they lie to God too, so what makes you think that they won't lie to you"

I had to learn that the hard way like most people, I trusted someone as my best friend and he betrayed me when I needed him the most" many people have called themselves my friends but very few actually stood the test of time.

[lacurvadevillena]

@MrSaul2011 word!!!!

[ch0wac1]

Shes good:)

[sickofitall915]

best female rapper

[1977Jara]

i miss this sound and voice... :(

[exoduseternal28]

@FLARGC2010, once you understand what she was talking about on songs like "Oh Jerusalem", and Mystery of Iniquity, she was even DEEPER than this album, only difference is she was singing rapping and playing the guitar all in one! She went hard on the scriptures and her true heritage on that unplugged album. Check it out again. Talk about TRUTH!! I like All her stuff however, she is just plain deep!

[387babycakes]

Preach Lauren!

[EmpressNikki712]

This song speaks truth on so many levels!

Lauryn come back & bless us w/ another positive album!

[KeyshaC88]

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 ambition, they do

[joohsay]

@KeyshaC88..sing it keysh.lol

[IAMCh0sen]

SHe's on TOUR Everyone.. google HER.. LETS SUPPORT THIS GREAT PROPHET of GOD.. SHES SO ON POINT.. in 99.. wow!!

[FLARGC2010]

she definitely needs to come back!!! the music world NEEDS her!!!

[joohsay]

@FLARGC2010.. she needs to come back hard hitting like this album, none of that craziness from that live/uncut album.Sorry,lol but its the truth.

[exoduseternal28]

@joohsay, once you understand what she was talking about on songs like "Oh Jerusalem", and Mystery of Iniquity, she was even DEEPER than this album, only difference is she was singing rapping and playing the guitar all in one! She went hard on the scriptures and her true heritage on that unplugged album. Check it out again. Talk about TRUTH!! I like All her stuff however, she is just plain deep!

[seivorsichtig]

who is it at 3:55 ?

please tell me

thank you a lot

[wankerishwanker]

@seivorsichtig It's Shelley Thunder

[robram915]

if u lookin for the answers u gotta ask the questions...Lauren Hill is soo deep everything she says makes u think!!!

[lubnita07]

L.H: "... be careful from those who pretend to be brothers... "

Still: ".... forgive them father....."

[lubnita07]

L.H: "....it took me a little while to discover...." and "......they lie to themselves to themselves.... so what makes you think that they won´t lie to you....? " "... forgive them father.... "

I agree, so forgive them father, cause they don´t know what they do ....

[WHOBYFIRE333]

She is the truth :)

[3212NaZyia]

Why for you to increase I must decrease?

[makesijoseph]

@3212NaZyia THAT IS THE LAW OF THE ANIMAL KINGDOM

[TheNamesFl0]

@3212NaZyia i believe the song is based off the scripture Luke 23:34 "Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do....." so in accord with the "scriptural base she uses John 3:30 "He must increase, but I [must] decrease." again she quotes scripture Mathew 15:14 "...: they be blind leaders of the blind.....both shall fall into the ditch" she also says "like cain and able, Ceasar and Brutus, Jesus and Judus"

[teamitch33]

she is the truth

[Oakcliffsweety]

@teamitch33 Absolutely !!!

[babygurrl121]
