Which she is still receiving money from THE SCORE's record sales ·residuals·.). The following lyrics are from "Superstar" written by Lauryn Hill.
" I know you think you've got it all What she is saying is that don't forget where you came from. When you are successful do not mistreat others just because they don't have what you've been blessed with. If you mistreat others, there will not be anyone around to help you back up when you fall down. What goes around, comes around - Karma.
