“Yo, y’all lucky I make it on this stage every night”

On Saturday, November 4, during her tour’s first night stop in Los Angeles, CA, Hill addressed her reputation for being tardy.
“Yo, y’all lucky I make it on this blood ras stage every night,” Hill told the crowd. “I don’t do it because they let me do it. I do it because I stand here in the name of God and I do it. God is the one who allows me to do it, who surrounded me with family and community when there was no support.”
She continued, “When the album sold so many records, and no one showed up and said, ‘Hey, would you like to make another one?’ So I went around the world, and I played the same album over and over and over and over again. Because we are survivors, and we’re not just survivors, we’re thrivers.”
Hill is currently touring to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her debut album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.
ONTD, are you punctual?
