18 Lauryn Hill Quotes to Help You Stay True to Yourself

Lauryn Hill enjoyed success at an early age as an actress but knew international fame after becoming a member of the Fugees, along with Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel.

Hill was only 18 when the band made its debut and after two years she got to the hearts of everyone with the cover of “Killing me Softly”. She soon decided to leave the group as she never got the appreciation she wanted. The public perceived Wyclef as the group’s musical genius, so Hill planned a solo career that would outshine the Fugees’ success.


Said and done, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill received massive critical acclaim and established her as a rapper, world-class singer and producer. But the public persona she created made her feel like she wasn’t Lauryn anymore.

Lauryn didn’t exactly dislike herself, but she simply could no longer cope with the fact that she needed an impeccable look and behavior every time she left the house. Ms. Hill took a break from all the fame and made some impromptu comebacks every now and then.

Here are 18 inspiring Lauryn Hill quotes and lyrics that you should know.

If everyone is a product of this society, who will say the things that need to be said, and do the things that need to be done, without compromise?
Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem!
That strong mother doesn't tell her cub ‘Son, stay weak so the wolves can get you’. She says, ‘Toughen up, this is reality we are living in.’
The only wealth I have to give is not material and if you need much more than that, I’m not available.
