Lauryn Hill - Interlude 2 lyrics
[Lauryn Hill - Interlude 2 lyrics]
Can I get some of that tea? Some of that tea
I know I sound raspy, but that's, hey I
Used to go on tour, you know, and I'd
Be a prisoner i used to be a prisoner
On tour, cause I would go on tour
And tour you're supposed to enjoy
And have a good time
But I'd be this prisoner in
A hotel, you know, drinking
Tea and, you know, telling
The children, you know
"Mommy has to sleep" cause I
Wanted to maintain this, you
Know, immaculate sounding voice
But that's not realistic
You know, reality is, sometimes
I stay up late, and this is what I
Sound like when I wake up the
Next day, and you know, it's a voice
You know, and to me, the more I, uh
I focus less on myself the more I realize I
Can be used to spread a messageCause when
I'm, I used to be so, oh my God
If I sound harsh and
Raspy I can't go out there and
That's a lie, you know
I just sound like a singer with a
Lot of stuff in her throat
So
I told the people at MTV that they
Got to light me better if
Not people are going to keep saying
"who's that boy on stage
Who's that little boy?"
Okay, we just finishing tuning
Okay, let's see what's up
I know I sound raspy, but that's, hey I
Used to go on tour, you know, and I'd
Be a prisoner i used to be a prisoner
On tour, cause I would go on tour
And tour you're supposed to enjoy
And have a good time
But I'd be this prisoner in
A hotel, you know, drinking
Tea and, you know, telling
The children, you know
"Mommy has to sleep" cause I
Wanted to maintain this, you
Know, immaculate sounding voice
But that's not realistic
You know, reality is, sometimes
I stay up late, and this is what I
Sound like when I wake up the
Next day, and you know, it's a voice
You know, and to me, the more I, uh
I focus less on myself the more I realize I
Can be used to spread a messageCause when
I'm, I used to be so, oh my God
