I'm an adult.

Lauryn Hill, "Everything is Everything"
On: The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (1998)
What the song is about:The official credo of Hill...I kind of always thought of this song as kind of the"Don't Worry, Be Happy" for the hip-hop generation...Maybe? No?
Why I'm listening to it: I like her rap verse, especially...
Best lyric: "You can't match this rapper slash actress/ More powerful that two Cleopatras? Bomb graffiti on the tomb of Nefertiti/MCs ain't ready to take it to the Serengeti/ My rhymes is heavy like the mind of sister Betty." F*ck yeah, L-Boogie!



Evan Dando, "All My Life"
On: Baby I'm Bored (2003)
What the song is about: A grown man (not Dando, this one was actually written by Ben Lee) has an moment of clarity and checks his values system. He's dead inside an searching for a new (or any) feeling.
Why I'm listening to it: I'm still on that Lemonheads kick.
Best lyric: "To be filled with hatred/ For the time I’ve wasted/ And I’m so impatient/ For a new sensation"
