[Intro] (x5)
This is Lauryn Hill wit' J. Period, this is The Best of Lauryn Hill

[Verse 1]
If they only owned love, shown love, grown love like this before
If they only knew love, true love too long like this before
If they only gave love, saved love, grave love like this before
If they only called love "love", love called "love" like this before
If they'd only shown love, they own love, own love like this before
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-love-love-la-la-la-la-love
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-love like this before, yeah

[Outro]
This is Lauren Hill wit' J. Period, this is The Best of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

As one of the founding members of Fugees, Lauryn Hill has spit her truthful lyrics unlike any female rap artist in history. Being as informative as she is inspiring, Lauryn has received monumental success with her solo albums going multi-platinum.

Her classic, critically acclaimed debut album Miseducation of Lauryn Hill went outside of the box for female rappers of her kind, making listeners think about greater causes in their community and how to be a powerful female without selling yourself short. The album also proved to be a huge landmark in rap, as it combined rap, r&b and neo-soul into a unique and beautiful mixture, full of different religious stories and concepts.

Although she retired after the success of her debut, mostly due to her child, Lauryn continued to make appearances at different shows (including at a concert with Drake in 2014). Shortly after announcing her official retirement, Lauryn returned to the scene to release MTV Unplugged 2.0, a live album where she explored with folk, departing from her rap/neo-soul style. Hill is also set to perform tracks from Miseducation in 2018 on its 20th Anniversary.
