[Verse]
The conquering lion
Shall break every chain
The conquering lion
Shall break every chain
Give him the victory
Again and again and again and again
Give him the victory
Ohh

The conquering lion
Shall break every chain
The conquering lion
Shall break every chain
Give him victory
Again and again and again and again and again and again
Give us some victory
Ohh, yeah
Ohh, conquering lion

Shall break every chain, every chain, every chain
The conquering lion, yeah ohh
Shall break every chain
Give us some victory
We need some victory
We need some victory
Again and again and again and again
Give, give, give, us some victory
Ohh, ohh, ohh

The conquering lion
He'll break every chain
Every one of your chains, every one of your chains
The conquering lion
Hey, he's gonna break all of those chains if you just let him
Give him, give him the victory, give him the victory
Again and again and again and again
Give him the victory
Ohh, ohh, ohh

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.
