Love this song! Miss you Lauryn...

I love this song
Nd Spiritual Poet, ur DOPE
That was ReDiCuLoUs!!!!! Nd creative

Sister Lauryn

I discovered you when you ran the Fugees to victory
Who is this Queen, who is telling my life’s true story?
I was 10 years old, but too old living in a child’s body
Saw too much death in my hood, dead corpses rotting

But Sister Lauryn saved my mentality implanting seeds
Watering with her sweet voice, fertilizing all my needs
Ready or Not, life came too fast and nearly toppled me
I prayed to God to save me from my family and community

Then the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill held me captive
To have a beautiful voice like yours, anything I’d give
All my hurt and pain diminished when I listened to you
I found a way out of mental slavery, you unstuck my glue

Now they talk about you and dog you out like the pound
Never realizing all the Greatness and God in you I found
Your Unplugged album was Allah (swt) speaking through
Your lyrics come from the Higher Source never Voodoo

Out of this captivity I long to be set free in this lifetime
Away from all the sterotypes from all the evil crime
All of the systems designed to treat us like animals
Labeling us and treating positive folks like criminals

See I understand you Sister Lauryn like I know myself
A reflection of you, I am, I accept the hand God’s dealt
We may not seem normal and they might call us insane
But all along they are the ones insane in the membrane

Never understanding that our true purpose is not vanity
Never understanding that love and unity is the only key
Never understanding that the system is designed for us to fail
Never understanding that we are conditioned to go to jail

Sister Lauryn, I commend you for standing your ground
You are the diamond in the ruff that my soul has found
Because of your music my life changed from inside out
You showed me what my true purpose in life is all about

You are a beautiful mother to all of your 5 little precious souls
They depend on you to be strong, your love won’t grow old
Allah (swt) needs you to keep up the fight for all of humanity
Cheers to you Lauryn Girl for exposing the truth about this insanity

LAURYN HILL LYRICS

"Just Like Water"

[Verse 1]
Moving down the streams of my lifetime
Pulls the fascination in my sleeve
Cooling off the fire of my longing
Boiling off my cold within his heat
Melting down the walls of inhibition
Evaporating all of my fears
Baptizing me into complete submission
Dissolving my condition with his tears

[Chorus]
He's just like the water
I ain't felt this way in years
He's just like the water
I ain't felt this way in years

[Verse 2]
Coursing through my senses, he's prevailing
Floating through the space of my design
Drowning me to find my inside sailing
Drinking in the mainstream of his mind
Filling up the cup of my emotions
Spilling over into all I do
If I only I could get lost in his ocean
Surviving on the thought of loving you

[Chorus]
He's just like the water
I ain't felt this way in years
He's just like the water, the water
I ain't felt this way in years

[Verse 3]
Bathing in the fountain of his essence
He causes my expression to remain
Humbled on a mountain by his presence
Washing my intentions with his name
Sealing off the floodgates of his passions
Saving all his liquid for his own
Moisturizing me to satisfaction
In my imagination? No no!
He's pouring out his soul to me for hours and hours
Drawing out my nature with his hands
Yearning I'm so thirsty for his power
Burning to be worthy of his land

[Chorus]
He's just like the water
I ain't felt this way in years
He's just like the water
I ain't felt this way in years

[Ad Libs Remainder]
Cleaning me
He's purging me
And moving me around
He's bathing me
And he's claiming me
And moving me around
Around and around and around
And around
Watching me, claiming me
Moving me around
He's purging me
He's been cleaning me
And moving me around
And around

i love this song!! this is how i feel
