Lauryn Hill’s speech.
I found this a few days ago, I’ve probably heard it more than 3 times. I just have thoughts lingering. She said it all better than I could. I thought it’d share it with you all.

"So High (Cloud 9 Remix Edit) feat. Lauryn Hill - James Brown Watermark"
Feels like we can kiss the sky, baby, baby when we’re high. Baby we’re so high, yeah.
You’re so conscious and self aware.
I’m next to you, I hold your back and you express pure ecstasy.
It’s more than just the sex to me
Because mentally you take me there
Yo, I pretended to be unaffected
You intended to be respected
I commend your boldness, you don’t fear being rejected.
So you approached me my love and didn’t remain intimidated.
Glad you did ‘cause once you came you got much more than anticipated.
And its true, I’ve got the mind of a genius. And every time we kiss we feel the magnetic field we got between us.
I think its something to witness your vulnerability.
The definition of a real man, he can acknowledge how he feels for me.
And I’m fascinated with your manhood exploration. Your transparent language, how you articulate the situation.
And I can see it in your stare, in the air, I love the texture of your hair, statuesque, black and beautiful like classical architecture.

The Many Voices of Lauryn Hill.
NPR Audio interview with Lauryn Hill and a few others speaking on her as a musician and a few other things.
Why did Lauryn Hill stop making music??
NPR interviews Lauryn Hill and she speaks on the matter that makes everyone thirsty! SO, Why stop?
Someone must have heard us asking for her!
“There were a number of different reasons. But partly, the support system that I needed was not necessarily in place. There were things about myself, personal-growth things, that I had to go through in order to feel like it was worth it. In fact, as musicians and artists, it’s important we have an environment — and I guess when I say environment, I really mean the [music] industry, that really nurtures these gifts. Oftentimes, the machine can overlook the need to take care of the people who produce the sounds that have a lot to do with the health and well-being of society, or at least some aspect of society. And it’s important that people be given the time that they need to go through, to grow, so that the consciousness level of the general public is properly affected. Oftentimes, I think people are forced to make decisions prematurely. And then that sound radiates.”
On People’s Attraction to Her: Believe it or not, I think what people are attracted to about me, if anything, is my passion. People got exposed to my passion through music and song first. I think people might realize, you know, ‘We love the way she sounds, we love the music, but I think we just love how fearless she is. How boundless she is, when it comes to what she wants to do.’ And I think that can be infectious.”
“I’m trying to open up my range and really sing more. With The Fugees initially, and even with Miseducation, it was very hip-hop — always a singing over beats. I don’t think people have really heard me sing out. So if I do record again, perhaps it will have an expanded context. Where people can hear a bit more.”
