Black Is the Color of My True Love’s HairLauryn Hill

Songwriter: Emile Latimer

[Verse 1]
Black is the color of my true love's hair
His face so soft and wondrous fair
The purest eyes and the strongest hands
I love the ground on where he stands
I love the ground on where he stands

[Chorus]
Black is the color of my true love's hair

[Verse 2]
I love my lover and well he knows
Yes I love the ground on where he goes
Yes I love the ground on where he goes
And still I hope that the time will come
When he and I will be as one
When he and I will be as one

[Chorus]
So black is the color of my true love's hair

[Verse 3]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh I love my lover and well he knows
Yes I love the ground on where he goes
Oh yes I love the ground on where he goes
And still I hope that the time will come
When he and I will be as one
When he and I will be as one

[Chorus]
So black is the color of my true love's hair

[Bridge]
Black is the color of my true love's hair
It's the color of my true love's hair
It's the color of my true love's hair
It's the color of my true love
Black is the color of my true love's hair
It's the color of my true love's hair
It's the color of my true love's hair
It's the color of my true love
Black is the color of my true love's hair
It's the color of my true love's hair
It's the color of my true love's hair
It's the color of my true love
Black is the color of my true love's hair
It's the color of my true love's hair
It's the color of my true love's hair
It's the color of my true love
Black is the color of my true love's hair
It's the color of my true love's hair
It's the color of my true love's hair
It's the color of my true love
It's the color of my true love
It's the color of my true love
It's the color of my true love
It's the color of my true love
It's the color of my true love
It's the color of my true love
It's the color of my true love
It's the color of my true love
It's the color of my true love
It's the color of my true love's hair
It's the color of my true love's hair
It's the color of my true love's
It's the color of my true love

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.
