Lyrics:
M to the A to the S to the K
Put the mask upon the face just to make the next day
Feds be hawking me, jokers be stalking me
I walk the streets and camouflage my identity
My posse in the Brooklyn wear the mask
My crew in the Jersey wear the mask
Stick up kids doing boogie woogie wear the mask
Yeah everybody wear the mask but how long will it last

[@emilyqualkinbush9772]

How'd this song not blow up again in 2020?!

[@chainedriderlmt3796]

Because it's too DEEP... even though it talks about all the major issues that have been in the publics psyche in recent years and more people will just focus on the word 'Mask' in a literal sense haha... it ain't just a novelty for the pandemic.

That good that they putting this on you tube so these young head know about 90s music i love the fugees 💯

[@chainedriderlmt3796]

yeah true! but all these Impatient millennials can only extract the line about the 'Mask'.. but if you think about it, this song talks about alot of deep shit.. but it bumps, jazzy, funky and some dope flows and lyrics are on it. Real shit.

[@lorenzbeaumacc1175]

Let the youth enjoy their era. U probably grew up in the 90's but what did you know about the 80's or the 70's? We are all ignorant to a knowledge that was before our own time. If the youth pays hommage cool if they don't it's also cool. Life goes on.

First song I heard from Fugees at 13 thanks to my ex Esmeralda. Lmao. Completely captivated me when she spit L'Hills verse word for word. Nothing more attractive than a female who loves hip hop. If ever you read this I wish you the best on all future endeavors. You was most definitely dope asf. God Bless Esme!

Put the mask on the face just to make it next day

[@Glassandcandy]

This song is largely based on a concept/poem by premier black poet Paul Lawrence Dunbar: "We wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,- This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, And mouth with myriad subtleties. Why should the world be over-wise, In counting all our tears and sighs? Nay, let them only see us, while We wear the mask. We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries To thee from tortured souls arise. We sing, but oh the clay is vile Beneath our feet, and long the mile; But let the world dream otherwise, We wear the mask!" - Paul Lawrence Dunbar, "We Wear the Mask" (1895)

[@jayxtacee5695]

Greatest album ever!! Can't believe I remember most of the lyrics and I last heard some of these songs back in early 1997. L-Boogie 🐐

[@jewelm.9953]

If I spent my hard earned money on music that I could hear for free, it meant I was in love with it. This is my second favorite song of the 90's, and favorite vocal from Lauren. Sheer genius.

[@tman4life01]

What’s your favourite song?

[@michaelgraham9774]

Pras' verse doesn't get enough love. It's honestly one of my favorites on the whole album

[@alexbank4879]

One bad thing about Lauryn being so cold is Clef and pra get their shit overlooked a lot 😭😭

[@Dr.JudeAEMasonMD]

Having married and divorced a narcissist since I was a little girl listening to this up in my room, this hits waaaay different now. Now I’ve seen and survived too many of these frontin’ n#### and you’re right #LaurynHill they give me hee-bee jee-beez. I’m so glad I woke up. John 3:25🙌🏽 💡 🕊 🔥 #CPTSD #fugees #themask #whenthemaskslips

[@ricklightbourn978]

Straight facts i always love this joint back in the days but since my awakening last year this song hits way different now. Theres a way deeper message behind this song. Its literally telling you what narcissism is, especially wyclefs verse. There is also a another song called manifest by the fugees where lauryn hills verse goes even deeper into narcissism. Check it out when u get a chance

[@blnk___space]

Lol this song hits differently because of COVID

[@FromThe3021]

Top value correlation, lost in the context of parroting. I can believe every track on KZbin “hit someone different” but I can’t believe not only did it hit them different, they all managed to comment about it too? I’d guess it’s more the latter based on the ‘buzz term’. The only thing that got me through hearing it all the time is being able to reach out and hit one when they quote different. I can imagine our grandchildren transponder to the museum in cloud & as they all gathered around a KZbin music video, (probably one of mine) & the tour guide _Siri,_ shows the crowd through the comments as she explains, this is the *ONLY* Music Video *EVER* discovered by man that hasn’t “hit different”.
