Interlude 2

Lauryn Hill · Mtv Unplugged [2009]

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,



we're just finishing tune up, OK...
