Fugees - Some Seek Stardom Lyrics






[Lauryn Hill]
AhhhhhH!
Check the crippled man, sittin in the church
My conscience hurts, flesh like me hits the dirt
She's paralyzed from her feet to her thighs
And the man who pulled the trigger didn't even lose his necktie
Hi/I check Jimmy cuttin hair at the barbershop
He plays the bass guitar, like David plays the harp
His knowledge name is Greek, cause whenever he speaks
He's got the wisdom of King Solomon bags in his eyes from no sleep
Sometimes he thought of the fame in Madison Square Garden
So some seek stardom, but they forget Harlem
But seeking first of all the kingdom of God is what my pops told me
So if I fall, could the choir catch me
I flew away, on a mountain, got tempted by Satan
Got bitten by a cobra, but the Lord took my venom
So who's side am I on? I'm on the righteous
Always check the lyrics, no time to contradict

[Chorus:]
Some seek stardom, then they forget Harlem [3X]
They/brothers/sisters/families/people/we/brothers
keep their pockets full, but their souls run empty

Well aiyyo family I beseech you, in the hopes that I may reach you
My mother taught me one day that this mid-day would come someday
Born to talk that jive, with peaky hair grown wild
And teachers disliked me, cause I knew where my culture be
So now yeah mom I read history, I can't neglect my passion see
Rock it's kind of new to me, cause my true love was poetry
White was good and bad was black but black was just a massa lackey
built for that B. Nimble Jack and I'd like to save you from the wicked
D-Dog clear I wouldn't be wet
The black to mourn, tomorrow's death
The evil things, glad that I, while angels wrote this violence why?
Help me make me comprehend my black bezerk and why cast it
Time to blaze the angels nappy heads are braided that you make me
see what's hard for me that don't make you flee
when I enter your vicinity, you see my God ain't never after me
So yo I be wised up with Greek
To go and be, the last and good and see what's wrong with me
and through your insecurity of me and my ability
So bredren won't you let me be or has thou asked to much from thy
to tell the truth and not to lie? Oh my...

[Chorus 2X]

But as I grew, I knew cause the master told me
from a baby to a woman from a woman to a baby
Life is so short, hardcore becomes hard-corpse
Step in a coffin where the money's no longer the source
[singing]
There we go, there we go, there we go
I got mine now won't you get yours, we never open doors
so we neglect, and don't protect the ones that's not
people never really seem to care
And then they cry out, "My people! Why aren't we treated equal?"
As we flee, we flee our own communities
We leave our family in poverty
And then we blame it on another, so family please recover
Oh c'mon please come now with you can come with me now and blow now
if you want to, we're through...

[Chorus 4X]

    The Classic Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

    C.... ....

    @Domineek Sanford That wasn't really a rap album, it was more of a neo-soul/R&B fusion album with a few bars sprinkled in.

  15. S.... B....

    BEAUTIFUL...........

  16. J.... A....

  21. t.... ....

    Miss Lauryn
    Freakin' the style conscious early 90s for all the new jacks who wish they were there.
    Do dat shit!!!

  22. k.... w....

    I wish female rappers were more like lauryn hill. trying to find a female rapper as good as her is like trying to find a needle in a haystack!! I can't find one similar to her to save my freakin' life!!!:(

    k.... w....

    kiki wilson rah digga

  23. k.... w....

    i love it when lauryn raps! i don't too much care for her singing, no offense.

    its the soul on ice remix, youtube it

  25. 0.... ....

    What track is that? i heard he was dope.

  26. w.... q....

    for sure

  27. s.... ....

    It's the "Moody's Mood for Love" at the end that gets me...that song is hard to do on it's own...let alone performing it with new (harder) lyrics, faster, with that beautiful hip-hop inflected break in her voice...this is just the truth

  28. S.... ....

    no mention of mc lyte?

    S.... ....

    Come on you blow now if you want to weir through

  29. W.... ....

    Queen latifah is pretty good too, but not as creative as lauryn. "i wanna woman with the body of a whore and a personality like lauren" soul on ice, check out ras kass

  30. T.... ....

    Those lyrics have many flaws:
    mid-day= judgement day
    Born to talk that jive with peaky hair grown wild= born a dark, black child with kinky hair grown wild

    There's like 10 more mistakes but I can't comprehend it!

  31. D.... D....

    @RtothaO but only put out 1 rap album

  32. L.... B....

    I think young money need to have a sit down and listen to this album and get some perspective on how to write decent rap songs with a deep meaning & knowledge.

  33. t.... ....

    1994 was when i was born .. i wish i was put to sleep with this then mexican melody's haa !

  34. g.... ....

    Lauryn hill spits nothing but knowledge and tells true stories ..poetry for the people .. I miss the days when I could relate to a rhyme...theres more than the bitches and blunts lyrics...fuck the mainstream hip hop lives fuck the radio

  35. V.... T....

    thats really dope

  36. C.... M....

    Dope track. This was one of the few tracks on this album worth listening to.

  37. B.... B....

    Lauryn is CRAZY in this rap! Brilliant.~

  38. M.... ....

    DAMN!!! LAURYN GO GIRL SHIT!!!

  39. a.... t....

    i miss her.....

  40. i.... ....

    Nah mean slim!

  41. R.... D....

    Lauryn has got everything as an MC and she demonstrates some unique breath control/ flow shit on the second verse of this song... fukin amazing!

  42. R.... D....

    What kind of dumbass puts foxy or lil kim ahead of Ms. Hill, she raps and sings circles around them both!

  43. i.... ....

    Lauryn!!
    She really displays her skills on this song, more than any other I've heard from her. What a pleasure to listen to!

    I can't believe when people talk about the best female emcee they put lil kim & foxy ahead of her. They can rap yeah but they are not in her league.

  44. l.... b....

    love this shit!!!

  45. c.... ....

    nai dobrata pesen :)
