Lauryn Hill
"Interlude 2"


Can I get some of that tea, some of that tea. I know I sound rhaspy but thats

hey, I used to go on tour ya know, and I'd be a prisoner, I used to be a
prisoner on tour cause I would go on tour and tour your'e supposed to enjoy and

have a good time but I'd be this prisoner in the hotel you know drinkin' tea
and ya know tellin' children ya know mommy has to sleep cause I wanted to
maintain this ya know emmaculate sounding voice, but that's not realistic, ya

know reality is sometimes I stay up late and this is what I sound like when I

wake up the next day, and ya know its a voice ya know and to me the the more I

uh focus less on myself the more I realize I can be used to spread a message,

because when I am I used to be so ya know oh my god if I sound ya know harsh
and rhaspy I can't go out there, that's a lie ya know I just sound like a
singer with a lot of stuff in her throat.

So, I told the people at MTV that they gotta like me better if not then people

are gonna keep on sayin' who's that boy on stage. Who's that little boy. OK,
