Ex‐Factor Songtext
von Ms. Lauryn Hill

Yo, yo, yo, uh
Yo, yo, yo, uh
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
Yo, yo, yo, uh
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
Yo, yo, yo, uh

It could all be simple, but you′d rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle, we both end up scarred
Tell me who I have to be to get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me and no one ever will, uh
Is this just a silly game that forces you to act this way?
Forces you to scream my name then pretend that you can't stay
Tell me who I have to be to get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me and no one ever will, uh-uh

No matter how I think we grow, you always seem to let me know
It ain′t workin', it ain't workin′, uh
And when I try to walk away, you′d hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy, this is crazy


I keep letting you back in, how can I explain myself?
As crazy as this thing has been, I just can't be with no one else
I know what we got to do, you let go, I′ll let go too
No one's hurt me more than you and no one ever will

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, I′m here now, not just because it's my year now
I′m clear now, only feelin' cats that's sincere now
I the lioness, scientist, street Zionist
Don′t twist it, it′s consistently consistent
If you missed it, this train is bound for glory
End of story, my whole repertoire is Psalm 40
They bomb for me, thinkin' they can mess up your plan
But I′ma play lamb, knowin' that the kingdom′s at hand
And showin' those who want it, you gon′ bring in the land
Descendants of Ham
Not concerned with the platinum status
'Cause every joint I threw out was due for gratis
I'm on a train with my pimps like I′m Lil′ Gladys
Or in the rain throwin' chips to the kids in Addis (Ethiopia)
Ababa, two kids and a baby father
Hot to lava, we done da, da, da, da


No matter how I think we grow, you always seem to let me know
It ain′t workin', it ain′t workin'
And when I try to walk away, you′d hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy, this is crazy

Care for me, care for me, I know you care for me
There for me, there for me, said you'd be there for me
Cry for me, cry for me, you said you'd die for me
Give to me, give to me
Care for me, care for me, you said you′d care for me
There for me, there for me, said you′d be there for me
Cry for me, cry for me, you said you'd die for me
Give to me, give to me
Why won′t you live for me?
Oh, oh, why won't you live for me?
Why won′t you live for me, for me, for me?
Care for me, care for me, I know you care for me
There for me, there for me, said you'd be there for me
Cry for me, cry for me, you said you′d die for me
Give to me, give to me
It could all be simple, but you'd rather make it hard
Loving you, loving you is like a battle
Give to me, care for me
Give to me, care for me
Care for me, care for me
