Arguably one of the best female MC's of all time, Lauryn Hill, is back with new music. Following tax evasion issues, facing possible jail time, and a public meltdown, Hill has signed a new music deal with Sony Music. The former Refugees front woman is back with "Neurotic Society," from her upcoming album The Re-Education.
Lauryn Hill's social awareness and dedication to attacking issues head on, drives "Neurotic Society" to hit home. Her commanding flow and articulation forces fans to appreciate the honesty and lyricism that drips from ever bar Hill spits.
Lauren Hill wrote a note to fans on her Tumlr and SoundCloud account about her new music of her upcoming album The Re-Education:
"Hello All:
Here is a link to a piece that I was 'required' to release immediately, by virtue of the impending legal deadline. I love being able to reach people directly, but in an ideal scenario, I would not have to rush the release of new music... but the message is still there. In light of Wednesday's tragic loss (of former label mate Chris Kelly), I am even more pressed to YELL this to a multitude that may not understand the cost of allowing today's unhealthy paradigms to remain unchecked!
- MLH"
A few days before Hill dropped ""Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix)", her former 'Fugees bandmate Wyclef Jean spoke to MTV's RapFix Live about Lauryn's public tax issues and her new album. While Wyclef and Lauryn have not been in touch since the group dissovled and Lauryn went solo with her 1998 release of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, he told MTV on May 1,"I wish her the best, I think she's going to have a great album."
Listen to Lauryn Hill's new song,"Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix):”
What do you think or Lauryn Hill's new song? Do you agree with Wyclef Jean that she will have a "great" album?
"Neurotic Society" Lyrics:"
“We’re living in a joke time, metaphorical coke time
Commerce and guru men, run the whole world man
Broke world and debauchery, old world brutality
Cold world kills softly
Whole world works savagely
Greedy men and pride fiends program TV screens
Quick-scamming drag queens
Real life blast fiends
Think twice this past dream
[Crime if you ask clean]
Quick, fast: poison had entered the bloodstream
Psychological massacre, consequence is a tragedy
Mythological characters, men and women as parody
Superficial advantage, borderline insanity
Out of order humanity, crime committed so passively
Desperados and causalities, corporations want batteries:
explanations and strategies, domination and mastery
[bank rob people so cold]
Black stores and yellow men, junkies and popularity
Culture oh so independent, vultures scavage reality
[Past evil] decaying social cavity
Preying on human ignorance, popular immorality
[]
Population misled
Self-indulgent, past dead
Absent to the God heads
[Pimps and social harlotry]
Nepotism, no artistry
Despotism and piracy
Desperation, dishonesty
No money, less equality
Inflated global ego imitating reality
[Pseudo psycho and] poisonous frozen arrows
Hypocrites on salary; idle hands: Devil’s agency
Predisposed to complacency
Jealousy and audacity, contagious social gluttony
Stages of mass malignity, effort to make deception
Generation and atrophy, glam life and death, scam life and editors
By-product of neglect children, hiding from predators
Absence of self-respect, phony, scared of competitors
Lifestyle of luxury at someone’s expense
Sensitive children, used up as sacrifice
Blind to the consequence, smoked up in dope pipes
Ecstasy fast life, recklessly past life
Narcotics and cash fights
Neurotic Society
Benefactors turned actors, addictions, triple captors
Experience manufacture
In this neurotic toxic society
It’s like post-war;
they’re looking for the Communists, and who the Marxists is
Ten thousand pictures on Facebook; it’s like the pot calling the kettle “narcissist”
C’mon, really? Saying “The Devil,” but you’re the chief arsonist
Hypocrites can’t even see their own partners
No reflection, vampire paradigm
No introspection
“This star, that star…” “rants, “has a breakdown“
Three months before pure obsession picture can’t take down
Children: it’s a shakedown; they’re just looking for a sacrifice
They’ve been doing this since before Bobby Darin sang “Mack the Knife“
Before James Dean’s car did a jackknife
Perhaps it’s because they lack life, lack guts; never confused the head with the butt
“Opinions are like assholes, but most of them stink,”
I was told by a woman, so rethink; don’t ever let them:
lead you to drink, lead you to doubt, lead you to fall
Get up, stand up: cast Lucifer out
“Shake it up, baby;” watch them twist it and shout
Insecure assholes looking for a ticket, someone to ride like a Pickett
It’s fcukin’ wicked, shame on a n*gga
In this neurotic toxic society
Sick psycho psychology, in desperate need of psychiatry
Exorcism, sobriety, forcing social lobotomy
People stuck in dichotomies, pseudo sicko anxiety
Serial criminals, dressed in Variety
Social transvetism, subliminal dressed up as piety
Transference, projections like partisian images
Robbing innocence, stealing inheritance
Quiet victims with no defense, betrayed over dollars and cents
Maladjusted and ignorant, maladdiction and dissonance
Too much addiction, no consciousness
Don’t you trust it, this cosmology’s busted
Broken and returning to the dust
Corruption, deceit, abuse and repeat
They don’t feel complete unless they’re robbing the sheep
Man is not a product: if you call him that – then stop it
…
In this neurotic godless society“
