WordPorn, Lauryn Hill & The Matrix AKA “Dammmn, Lauryn!” (3/9/18)

(Video is long gone)

Found this during my daily plunge into my personal click hole. And, it was like the only thing during my time away that I felt like I needed to share. What really did it for me was the Agent part (0:48 - 1:03). There's this saying that I rediscovered lol (it's pretty well known) while watching this cool show "Everything Sucks!" on Netflix. "Everybody is the hero of their own story." You def heard that before, its up there with "With great power comes great responsibility". But in the show, the main character is watching old tapes his dad recorded and his dad is like "what if you're the villain in somebody else's story? You may be that." He said something like that at least. That circles right back to Lauryn saying we can be the Agent Smith to somebody's Neo. To ourselves. I'm under no illusion that I am not an Agent/Villain to people out here. I have been and would not be surprised if I still am. What I definitely know is that I am one to myself, no debate about perception there. So she concludes that point with saying the first enemy is internal and that must be done first before anything else. That was what I got from this. So, I figured this was worth sharing.

How you gonna win when you ain't right within?

How you gonna win when you ain't right within?"

Come again."
