Outro - Ms. Lauryn Hill

Its like

If you

Tired of that

You give yourself up…

Listen, nobody can blackmail you with anything

I’ll never forget…

You know when I first…

Started to really understand what this was all about

I just went to my parents and I just started confessing about the stuff I did

like in the second grade…

Seriously…

But we don’t know how all that stuff from the time we’re kids man…

All that repression…

All that stuff just holding you

You know all that

Talking about boys feeling my booty in the second grade

I mean I’m telling you, and I’m ashamed of that

You know?

Like no, like

What other girl in this audience played run catch and kiss or those silly games?

You know?

But just from a child, you know, growing up with all of that guilt

You know?

And we think that that’s God

We think that’s God…

Telling us feel guilty!

God is saying get free

Confess man

Understand that

Look

Everybody’s going through that same stuff

Same issues its just a bunch of repression

And I’m saying man, life is too precious

Its too valuable

For us to just sit here in this boxes all repressed

You know?

Afraid to admit what we’re really going through

You know?

I’m saying, I’m tired of that

I’ll tell people, listen its so funny it’s like

You know, when I tried to…

I’ll never forget

When I was pregnant with my first son and I was trying to keep it a secret it

was all of over the place

You know?

And when I said hey, I’m having another baby

I didn’t hear about it at all

And I said man, y’all just want to deal in stuff that people don’t want out

So I just gave myself out

Yeah, I’m having another child

What else would you want to know?

Yeah I’m crazy and deranged
