paroles de chanson Interlude 3 - Lauryn Hill

I tell you, there are no big shots in reality, y′all
We're all in the same boat, dealing with the same issues
Same problems, same stuff
Don′t even buy it
All the perpetration you know
All this, you know uh "We don't have problems"
That's a lie, that′s a lie, you know
I know that the enemy is doing the same thing to me that he′s doing to everybody else
And I, I just know now that the only way to get out is through confrontation
We always thought it was retreat, you know, run away
And I'm telling you, you got to confront it
Ermm, let′s see
How are we doing now as far as the tuning
Okay
This, this is a strange song because this song
This is when everything sort of
When this song was written
This is when everything sort of stopped erm
It was written a long time ago
But it was right before like God just snatched me out of everything
And because I didn't understand
Initially it was written about
I′d written it about the whole Amadou Diallo situation
When it, when it first happened
And I went to the studio, and I laid it down
And it was like, strong, for the first day
And then it just regressed everyday after that
And I said, 'What′s going on'
'What′s happening′
And at the end of it there was a song that I used
I mean a word that I used, "rebel"
And I guess was afraid that erm
It was such a hot time in the city at that point
I was afraid that if I put the record out
People would misunderstand what I meant by "rebel"
And they'd just take it to the streets, you know
So I was very intimidated and afraid
And before I knew it a whole host of things happened
I just kind of, I just, everything stopped after that
And the creativity stopped and I just, everything stopped
That′s when I realized, that when I realized that I had to understand what I was talking about
Before I could tell somebody else what I was talking about
And I had to be, you know, a-a a living example, you know
I'm like, I′m like
It's real crazy because I don′t know what the press is saying
Because I don't listen to the press too much
But I know the view is that I'm emotionally unstable, which is reality
Like, like you aren′t? You know
But it′s like you know, but I'm
I′m laughing because what I've realized
I′ve become is one of those mad scientists
Who does the tests on themselves first
You see, to make sure that they work
And that's when you know, okay look
I got something that works, you know what I′m saying?
I'm not gonna give you something that I haven't tested for myself
And you and you know you go through
And you′re learning by way of experience
And you′re making mistakes, and you're getting up
But that′s the thing, it's like, you know
A friend of mine once said to me, he said
Look, if we weren′t supposed to turn around
Why does a car have a steering wheel?
Are we just supposed to crash into the wall?
No, we're supposed to say
Listen, I was going the wrong way urrrk
Reverse
In this particular song, now I realize that this song is about freedom
You see, we could look at one human being
But it′s about the spirit of freedom being taken out
And how it's taken out in all of us, you know
And this, this song is called "I Find It Hard to Say"
Ermm, bear with me a little bit
