Nothing can be done against the truth No matter how we remain in denial, yeah Wasting time, replacing time with each empty excuse But that'll only work a little while Coping with despair, knowing you're not there Ashamed to just admit I've been a fool So I blame it on the son, run away from everyone Hoping to escape this ridicule Trapped in misery, wrapped so miserably And this deception, I wear it like a skin Dying to maintain, oh I keep trying to explain A heart that never loved me to begin Oh I'm such a mess, I have no choice but to confess That I've been desperately trying to belong Lieing to myself and everybody else Refusing to admit my right was wrong, and then he came Selah, oh and it means Praise and meditation, and then he came Selah, oh and it means Did you think about that? And then he came Selah, oh and it means Praise and meditation, and then he came Selah, oh and it means That it is seen How beautiful is fruit still in denial of its roots My guilty heart behaves so foolishly This treason from within that reasons with my sin Won't be happy 'til it sees the death of me Selfishly addicted to a life that I depicted Conflicted 'cause it's not reality Oh what's left of me, I beg you desperately Cause me to agree with what I know is best for me Please save me from myself, I need you, save me from myself Please save me from myself so I can heal The choices that I've made, oh have been nothing but mistakes What a wasted use of space, should I die before I wake? In all of my religion, I've fortified this prison Obligated to obey the demands of bad decision Please save me from myself I need you to save me from myself Please save me from myself so I can heal And then he came Selah, oh and it means Praise and meditation, and then he came Selah, oh and it means Did you think about that? And he came Selah, oh and it means Meditation, and then he came Selah, oh and it means That it is seen And then he came And then he came, then he came, then he came And then he And then he came
She didn’t lose her career, she gained Spiritual Awareness and enlightenment….. May JAH Bless You - Your Children loved Ones! We will Always love you Ms.Hill aka L - Boogie !
Selah oh and it's means praise and meditation and then he came 🙏 she is talking about Jesus our lord not your ex or present lover or you rewind it and put God in there and you will see 🙏
I loved the song when I first heard her sing it live on MTV. It has remained just as powerful, lyrically dense, and beautiful through the years. It's such an underrated song.
What an AMAZING spectacular artist Lauryn is!! This is one of my favorite Curtis Mayfield songs and Lauryn KILLED it! Check out Gladys Knight's FANTASTIC version as well!!!
I don't know who's version is better-: none - Lauren, Gladys And Curtis are all amazing in their own right, and all of their versions are superlative!!; Maybe because they are all Geminis?
