118 - Lauryn Hill

Pain suppressed, will lead to cardiac arrest
Diamonds deserve diamonds, but he convinced me I was worth less.
When my people would protest,
I told them mind their business, cause my shit was complex,
More than just sex.
I was blessed, but couldn't feel it like when I was caressed
I'd spend nights clutching my breasts overwhelmed by God's test
I was God's best contemplating death with a Gillette
But no man is ever worth the paradise manifest

Artist: Fugees
Song: Manifest
Album: The Score
Year: 1996
