This may be old news, but a little while ago Lauryn Hill publically announced on MTV that she has been saved by Christ and has retired her old ways. The following are a few excerpts from a few songs that she has written since then. In listening to a few of her songs that my sister shared with me, I have noticed that she asks a lot of questions to society. She is definately writting deep thoughts that require standards at a greater level than society is willing to give. Bravo Lauryn... welcome to the family, sister.
"... We give rise to ego, by being insecure
The advice that we go, desperatly searching for
The subconscious effort, to support our paramour
To engage in denial, to admit we're immature
Validating lies, Mr. Intentional
Open up yours eyes, Mr. Intentional..."
~ Mr. Intentional ~
"... Stop walking in pride, let the thief be crucified
Un-learn everything you know, and let Him teach you
Line upon line, every step upon pre-step, say goodbye,
To this decaying social system
He wants to know, how far we're willing to go
If we love Him like we say we do,
He will try us
Just don't regress,
Or slip into hopelessness
Once He's satisfied His love,
He won't deny us,
And then He'll tell us,
What, what we gonna do now
Where we gonna go now, what we gonna say now..."
