The Fugees

Alternative Hip Hop · rap · R&B · reggae

The Fugees were a critically-acclaimed New Jersey hip hop group that rose to fame in the mid-1990s, whose repertoire included elements of soul and Caribbean music, particularly reggae. The members of the group are rapper/singer/producer Wyclef Jean, rapper/singer Lauryn Hill, and rapper Pras Michel. Deriving their name from the term "refugee", Jean and Michel are Haitian Americans, while Hill is African American. The group recorded two albums — one of which, The Score (1996), was a multi-platinum and Grammy-winning success — before disbanding in 1997. Hill and Jean each went on to successful solo recording careers; Michel focused on soundtrack recordings and acting, though he found commercial success with his song "Ghetto Supastar". Wikipedia

Strumming my pain with his fingers,

singing my life with his words

Killing me softly with his song,

Killing me softly with his song,

telling my whole life, with his words

Killing me softly with his song.

Strumming my pain with his fingers,

Singing my life with his words,

Killing me softly with his song,

killing me softly with his song,

Telling my whole life with his words,

Killing me softly with his song.

(LAURYN)

I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style,

And so I came to see him and listen for a while.

And there he was this young bwoy, stranger to my eyes,

Strumming my pain with his fingers,

Singing my life with his words,

Killing me softly with his song,

killing me softly with his song,

Telling my whole life with his words,

Killing me softly with this song.

I felt all flushed with fever,

Embarrassed by the crowd,

I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.

I prayed that he would finish,

But he just kept right on

strumming my pain with his fingers,

Singing my life with his words,

Killing me softly with his song,

Killing me softly with his song,

Telling my whole life with his words,

Killing me softly with his song

(CLEF)

Yo L-Boogie, take it to the bridge

(LAURYN)

(Bust it)

Strumming my pain with his fingers,

Singing my life with his words,

killing me softly with his song,

Killing me softly with his song,

Telling my whole life with his words,

Killing me softly with his song.

Strumming my pain with his finger, yeah he was . . .
