Jag har laddat ner ett album som jag lyssnar på i omgångar och har gjort sen det släpptes 2001.
Ju mer jag lyssnar ju mer förstår jag vad hon försöker säga och lite mer om livet samtidigt.
Det är Lauryn Hills MTV Unplugged-album jag pratar om givetvis. En av mina absoluta favoritskivor genom tiderna.
Tänkte citera lite från ett interlude därifrån:
"I'm sayin let's give them reality from the door because you're going to attract love, and the one that really loves you. And then you don't have to pretend and falcify, and you know, keep that posture.
I'll never forget when I first met him I said to him, it was like, he saw me eating in front of him, and he told me, he was like, You eat like a man, you must not like me. You know, because, women, usually they keep that posture. And I said, Nah.
I said it's not even that, you know. It's but, this is reality.
This is, you know, and that's it, man, I mean, I'm just telling you, it's so wonderful to finally find
And trust me, it's a work in progress, it's not something that happens overnight. We all have to be introduced to each other.
[…]
Listen, y'all never knew me. I want to introduce you to me. I'm just getting to know me. And you know what, anything that's not growin is dead, so we better be changing. You know, people would say to me, they would hold me hostage. And they, seriously, emotionally hostage, and they'd say, Uh, she's changing. The money's changing her. And I'd say Listen, the money's not changing me, God's changing me. I'm changing, because that's a natural part of life. We're all supposed to change. Who wakes up and is the same way tomorrow and the day after that? Nobody is. Let the experience teach you and be real, man. And, um..there's gonna be warfare involved. Because there's some people who prefer deceptions, see.
They say, uh, I don't like this new expression, and I say, what, you want two-thirds of me to stay outside? I'm a whole person. You can't say, you know, two-thirds of Lauryn, come in here. Only two-thirds is acceptable. I'm a whole person. You know. And that's everybody. You always talk about spiritual warfare and we didn't realize that it was in relationships."
