Good Night
Worried in a flurry about the clout and kids capping you
Only thirteen another dream seems unreachable
Reality's a salary morality's unreachable
Look at his environment what stimulates learning
A look in a book or real cash money earning
Yearning for a fast break papes and all that
Hard work is for jerks what kind of life do you call that?
He takes a look around the neighborhood is good and run down
Last night a kid got gunned down 'cause there's money after sundown
Wants to get his share so h
Keep It Tight
[Lauryn Hill]
Y yo.. {echoes} y yo.. uhh

Uh uh..

It could all be simple but you'd rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle we both end up scarred
Tell me who I have to be to get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me and no one ever will
Is this just a silly game that forces you to act this way
Forces you to scream my name, then pretend, that you can't stay
Tell me who I have to be to get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me and no one ever will
{*Lauryn harmonizes*}
Chorus: Lauryn
No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't workin, it ain't workin, uhh
And when I try to walk away
You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy, this is crazy..
[Lauryn Hill]
I keep letting you back in, how can I explain myself?
As crazy as this thing has been, I just can't be with no one else
I know what we've got to do, you let go I'll let go too
No one's hurt me more than you and no one ever will
[Lauryn - rapping]
Yo, y-yo, yo yo
I'm here now, not just because it's my year now
I'm clear now, only feelin cats that's sincere now
Heart of lioness, scientist, street Zionist
Don't twist it, it's consistantly consistent
If you missed it, this train is bound for glory
End of story, my whole repoitory is ? 40
They bomb for me
Thinkin they can mess with your plan, but I'ma play lamb
Knowin that the Kingdom's at hand, and showin those who want it
you gon' bring em the land, descendants of Ham
Not concerned with the platinum status
Cause every joint I threw, I would do for gratis
I'm on the train with my Pips like I'm lil Gladys
or in the Range throwin chips to the kids in Addis (Ethiopia)
Abbaba, two kids and and a baby father
Hot to lava, we Don Dadda, Don Dadda
Chorus: Lauryn
No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't workin, it ain't workin
And when I try to walk away
You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy, this is crazy..
[Lauryn Hill]
Care for me, care for me, I know you care for me

Cry for me, cry for me, you said you'd die for me!
Give to me, give to me..
Care for me, care for me, you said you'd care for me
