The fanlisting

A fanlisting? A place to gather all fans of a subject (a song, a movie, a person, pretty much everything).
The person responsible for this one? Me, Lelei. Its being hosted at BigFun Fanlisting Collective. Approved by TFL.
The inspiration? This song is part of the history of my life. It used to be a constant on my radio when I was only dating my hubby. We still listen it from time to time and it is possible to have the same feeling about it, all the cheering of the rhythm and the strong message saying that we have to be careful in our relationships has always won us over. That's why I have decided to build this fanlisting. Maybe lots of people feel the same way out there and would like to express themselves as well. The site was made using images from the song video clip and the cover of the CD Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. I have made all the additional graphics using Photoshop.

The singer + The song

Lauryn Hill was the singer for the hip-hop group The Fugees, whose second album, The Score, was a top-seller in 1996. Her cover of the Roberta Flack song "Killing Me Softly", and her appearance in the movie Sister Act 2 thrust her into the limelight. In 1998 Hill's solo musical effort, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was a critical and popular success, earning 10 Grammy Award nominations.
The song is present on the album Miseducation by Lauryn Hill. More info about it and the way to buy it is though here.

The lyrics

It’s been three weeks since you’ve been looking for your friend
The one you let hit it and never called you again
’member when he told you he was ’bout the benjamins
You act like you ain’t hear him then gave him a little trim
To begin, how you think you really gon’ pretend
Like you wasn’t down then you called him again
Plus when you give it up so easy you ain’t even fooling him
If you did it then, then you probably f*ck again
Talking out your neck sayin’ you’re a christian
A muslim sleeping with the gin
Now that was the sin that did jezebel in
Who you gon’ tell when the repercussions spin
Showing off your as* ’cause you’re thinking it’s a trend
Girlfriend, let me break it down for you again
You know I only say it ’cause I’m truly genuine
Don’t be a hardrock when you’re really a gem
Babygirl, respect is just a minimum
Niggas fucked up and you still defending them
Now lauryn is only human
Don’t think I haven’t been through the same predicament
Let it sit inside your head like a million women in philly, penn.
It’s silly when girls sell their soul because it’s in
Look at where you be in hair weaves like europeans
Fake nails done by koreans
Come again
Come again, come again, come again, come again

Guys you know you better watch out
Some girls, some girls are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing

The second verse is dedicated to the men
More concerned with his rims and his timbs than his women
Him and his men come in the club like hooligans
Don’t care who they offend popping yang like you got yen
Let’s not pretend, they wanna pack pistol by they waist men
Cristal by the case men, still in they mother’s basement
The pretty face, men claiming that they did a bid men
Need to take care of their three and four kids men
They facing a court case when the child’s support late
Money taking, heart breaking now you wonder why women hate men
The sneaky silent men the punk domestic violence men
The quick to shoot the semen stop acting like boys and be men
How you gon’ win when you ain’t right within
How you gon’ win when you ain’t right within
How you gon’ win when you ain’t right within
Come again
Come again, come again, come again, come again

Girls you know you better watch out
Some guys, some guys are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing
