With all this talk of Lauryn Hill making a come back I decided it was time to repost the ode I wrote to her a few years ago. Everyone has wanted her to make a come back for some years now, saying how much hip hop needs her, but I honestly don't think she needs to make a come back. She doesn't owe us anything and she gave us a timeless classic. The Ms. Education of Lauryn Hill is still relevant and probably always will be. So Lauryn, this one's for you!
The Plight of Super Woman
Everybody talkin' bout you done gone crazy
Everybody talkin' bout how much they miss you, lady
But they don't understand
The Plight of Wonder Woman
No they don't understand
The Plight of being Hip Hop's Super Woman
So much things to say
So much things to do
I'm a mother, singer, rapper, writer too
So I relate to you
They expect you to be strong
They don't realize they're expectations are wrong
Too much pressure on you
They beg of you to do
what they want you to do (make more music, be in the public eye)
regardless of what you going through
But who's there for you when you need someone too
That's why I wrote this song for you
Cuz they don't understand
The Plight of Wonder Woman
No, no, no! They don't understand
The Plight of Hip Hop's Super Woman
