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,
