The song is called Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix)

[mbalnd]

Sounds in line with her recent remixes of Mised tracks at live shows. While her flow is unquestionable, it really does sound rushed (and maybe unfinished) as she pointed out. The beat threw me off at first but I suppose she was not going for a commercial radio friendly sound. Interested to see what else comes out and whether she'll continue with the "protest" music theme

[puma]

Actually the song is nothing like her Mised remixes. The only that's fast is her FLOW. The arrangement has a steady beat. She chose to spit out lyrics like a "tommy gun". This is actually more in the vein of her "Fearless Vampire Killer" where she's free rapping over a beat and not concerned with making sure every hook is in the pocket. She's really heading out in the Erykah Badu headspace where she doesn't care about radio friendly tracks. Interesting.

[puma]

Let's get started on writing down these lyrics. She really is spitting gems out on this one.

My head hurt when I tried earlier puma, LOL! I will try again tomorrow!
My fav line so far: "Man is not a product if you call him that then stop"
Also, I agree with your analysis. I only liked the lyrics until I listened with the volume on high; i like the music as well. I look forward to hearing more!

[puma]

I just tried and it gave me a headache too. The second verse is easier to decipher. If I find time, I'll try to contribute. I feel that we'll enjoy the song better if we understood exactly what she's saying.

1:40_2:10(refrain) AMAZING ...

[sengun]

She's coming in hard! Wanna hear more of what she's working on

[Nutzz]

I love it.....

I've listened to this song a few times, and I just can't get in to it. I'm personally more interested to find out how the album version sounds. The production overpowers what she is saying to the point where you can't actually hear all of what she's saying, and to me that's the most important part.
Her flow, and the message of what she is saying on the song is on another level. And like the rest of you, I'm dying to hear new music, I just hope she doesn't rush it to the point of it not sounding complete. Lauryn is super-talented, but I wonder whether she has hocked up with producers who reflect her musical genius. It was a similar story with the Fugees reunion in that raps she recorded for the songs were amazing, but the production of the songs didn't fully back her up.
However, it's great to hear some conscious rap back in to the domain. And I hope this is the start of her promotional campaign for the new album.

can someone help decipher the lyrics?

"We living in a joke time/ Metaphorical quote time
Commerce and / Run the whole world, men
to debauchery/ Old World mentality
Cold world kills softly/ Whole world runs savagely
Greedy and imprior fiends/ Program TV screens
Quick scamming drag queens/ Real life and blasphemes
Think twice/ It's past dream/ Crime if you as clean
Quickfast, the poison has entered the bloodstream
Psychological, master the consequences of tragedy
Mythological characters, men and women is parody
Superficial advantages, borderline insanity
Out of order humanity, crime committed so passively
Desperados and casualties, corporations want batteries
Explanations and strategies, domination and mastery
Own in the bankrupt/ grown people so corrupt
Vice Lords and yellowmen jockeying for popularity
Culture so independent, vultures scavenge reality
Past feelin' depraved need to change social cavity
Preying on human ignorance, popular immorality
/ population misled
/ happened to the god head
Pimps, pushers and harlotry/ nepotism no artistry
Despotism and piracy/ desperation, dishonesty
Physicists issue policy/ more money, less equality
Inflated global ego/ Imitating reality
Pseudo-psycho neutral/ we're poisoned like bows and arrows
Hypocritics on salary/ Idle hands, devils agency
Predisposed to complacency, jealousy and audacity
Contagious social gluttony/ Stages of mass malignancy
Epidemic deception/ Generation in atrophy
Glam life and dead/ Scam life and editors
Bi-products of neglect children hiding from creditors
Absence of self-respect/ Phony, scared of competitors
Lifestyle of luxury at someone's expense
Sensitive children/ Used up the sacrifice
Blind is the consequence/ Smoked up in dope pipes
Ecstasy, fast life, recklessly, past life
Narcotics and cash fights
Neurotic society
Benefactors turned actors/ Addictions with captors
Experience manufactured, in this neurotic time
In society

It's like post-war/ They lookin for the communists or who the Marxists is
10,000 pictures on Facebook/ It's like the pot callin' the kettle narcissist
Come'on really/ Sayin' the devil, but you're the chief arsonist
hypocrites can't even see they own part in this
No reflection vampire paradigm/ No introspective

This star, that star/ rants'es and breakdown
3 months before, pure obsession/ picture can't take down
children it's a shakedown/ they just lookin' for a sacrifice
they been doin' this since before Bobby Darin sang Mac The Knife
Before James Dean's car did a jackknife
perhaps it's 'cause they lack life or they lack guts
never confuse the head with the butt
opinions are like assholes so most of 'em stink
i was told by a woman so REthink
don't ever let them lead you to drink/ lead you to doubt
lead you to fall
get up stand up/ cast lucifer out
shake it up baby, watch them twist it and shout
insecure assholes, lookin' for a ticket
to ride on somebody like the picket
it's fuckin' wicked/ shame on a niggga
in this neurotic, toxic society

sick cycle psychology/ in desperate need of psychiatry
exorcism sobriety/ forcin' social lobotomy
people stuck in dichotomy/ pseudo-sicko anxieties
serial criminals rest in notoriety
social transvitism
subliminal/ dressed up as piety
transference, projections, like artesian images
revolving innocence, stealing inheritance
quiet victims, with no defense/ betrayed over dollars and cents
maladjusted, ignorant, maladdiction and dissonance
too much addiction/ no consciousness
don't trust it/ this cosmology's busted
rope it and return for the dust
this stinks of corruption/ oppression deceit
abuse and repeat
they don't feel complete unless they rob with a sheet
man is not a product/ if you call him that then stop it
in this neurotic godless society."

Loved what this blogger had to say:

Lauryn Hill and the Universe
Posted on May 5, 2013 | Leave a comment


A few of my ‘music critic’ friends inboxed me this tune on some “what chya’ think?” business. They know I am both hip-hop head and a fan of Lauryn’s heart and lyricism. I didn’t reply to the emails because I think not.

I am in a space where I believe that what I think or what anyone else thinks should not matter. What matters is that L-Boogie is in creation and release mode. The world doesn’t just miss her, but people miss authentic passion, we miss artistic voices that are in alignment with their own hearts and not just their pocketbooks, we miss that fine line that true artists walk when the core of one’s creativity looks like “crazy” to “civilians” (i.e. non-artists) but to those truly in the artistic zone– it’s just processing, it’s re-centering.

When one’s purpose has been so clearly outlined and defined the universe will not allow he or she to stray to far from it. Resistance is futile. True artists either create or they shrivel up and die. Death doesn’t necessarily mean being six feet under. It also includes the soulless and the walking dead. Plenty of the zombies we see during rush hour have “that thing” and gifts that could inspire the world but for some reason are not sharing them in this lifetime.

What do I think? I think that divine order is at work. I think that the universe has left her no option but to create and release. We’ve all been in that space where God put a foot in your ass–when you waited too long to leave a relationship or didn’t move when intuition told you to. It’s amazing how life will create circumstances that force us out of our self-imposed funks. Lauryn’s energy has so little to do with Lauryn right now. My only prayer is that she remembers the big picture and she crosses these sands of fire victoriously. We are all connected and the energy that we put out impacts all those around us. It resonates. Because of her connection to millions of people around the world, I imagine that with even the slightest amount of focus and a willingness to stay on a higher vibration these new Lauryn releases have the potential to impact the stagnation and ‘stank’ that are plaguing hip-hop music and culture.

Just let the music play…
