Lauryn Hill Is ‘Guarding The Gates’ On ‘Queen & Slim’ Soundtrack

Lauryn Hill Guarding The Gates: Ms. Lauryn Hill has lended her sonorous vocals to the soundtrack of upcoming motion picture, Queen and Slim. This song is titled ‘Guarding The Gates‘ and it is perfect comeback for Ms. Hill, being that we don’t hear a lot from her, when it comes to music, these days.

Fans were excited to hear her “Coming Home” collaboration with Pusha T that was released this year, and the former Fugees rapper now shares her Queen & Slim: The Soundtrack inclusion titled “Guarding the Gates.” This is reportedly the first solo track the singer has released in five years.

For those of you who have been wanting a new Lauryn Hill vibe that’s reminiscent of her classic Miseducation hits, “Guarding the Gates” will satisfy your thirsts. She may make headlines for problematic behavior as it pertains to getting to her live shows on time, but when Ms. Hill steps in the booth, she knows how to belt out a record. Let us know your thoughts.

Lyrical Excerpts

[Chorus] Everybody, everybody wants to know
Where you’re goin’ to, what you’re runnin’ from
What you’re goin’ through, where you’re comin’ from
What you’re goin’ through, where you’re comin’ from
Everybody, everybody wants to know
What you’re gonna do, where you’re goin’ to
‘Cause they wanna come, where I’m showin’ you
Yes, they wanna come, where I’m showin’ you

[Post-Chorus] All that you can be is a spectacle
Following after every single miracle
Watch them marvel at all the joy you have
But they’re too important to have all the joy you have
What a tragedy, you can laugh at me (You can laugh at me)
You can laugh at me (You can laugh at me)
But I’m in love
