Mr. Intentional - Ms. Lauryn Hill

See, the road to hell is paved with good intentions

Can’t you tell, the way they have to mention

How they helped you out?

You’re such a hopeless victim!

Please don’t do me any favors, Mr. Intentional

All their talk is seasoned to perfection

The road they walk, commanding your affection

They need to be needed, deceived by motivation

An opportunity to further situation

Why they’re so important is without explanation

Please don’t patronize me, Mr. Intentional

We give rise to ego by being insecure

The advice that we go desperately searching for

The subconscious effort to support our paramour

To engage in denial, to admit we’re immature

Validating lies, Mr. Intentional

Open up yours eyes, Mr. Intentional

Stuck in a system that seeks to suck your blood

Held emotionally hostage by what everybody does

Counting all the money that you give them just because

Exploiting ignorance in the name of love

Stop before you drop because that’s just the way it was

Please don’t justify me, Mr. Intentional

Oh one-dimensional, Mr. Intentional

Oh don’t you do me any favors

Wake up, you’ve been sleeping

Take up your bed and walk

Stop blaming other people

Oh it’s nobody else’s fault

Accept the truth about you

You know that life goes on without you

And your expensive misinventions

Disguising your intentions

Don’t worship my hurt feelings, Mr. Intentional

See, I know you can’t help me, Mr. Intentional

The only help I need to live is unprofessional

The only wealth I have to give is not material

And if you need much more than that, I’m not available

Please don’t entertain me, Mr. Intentional

Oh I don’t need your sympathy, Mr. Intentional

Stay away from me, Mr. Intentional

So one-dimensional, Mr. Promotional

Mr. Emotional, Mr. Intentional
