TLC is an American musical trio whose repertoire spanned R&B, hip-hop, soul, funk, and new jack swing. Originally consisting of singer Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, rapper Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes and singer Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, they found success in the 1990s while also enduring a series of spats with the law, each other, and the group's record label.
Initially, TLC achieved commercial success following the release of their debut album Ooooooohhh... On the TLC Tip, which sold four million copies worldwide. The group's second studio album, CrazySexyCool, went on to be certified diamond by the RIAA, and eventually sold 22 million copies worldwide. TLC released four multiplatinum studio albums before going on hiatus due to the death of Lopes in Honduras in 2002.
Billboard magazine ranked the group as one of the greatest musical trios. Between 1992 and 2003 the band accumulated ten top ten singles, four number one singles, four multiplatinum albums, and four Grammy Awards. At the end of 1999, the band was ranked as the seventh most successful act of the 1990s by Billboard. In 2008, the group was inducted into the All Time Hot 100 Artist Hall of Fame by the same magazine, at 56th place. That year it was also listed as the #25 R&B/hip-hop artist of the preceding 25 years. TLC is the best-selling American girl group of all time.
Yea sleepy brown
What's here...
What's here...
Check it out (unh)
If I were u and u were me
Would u like what you see (ha, yea)
And tell me why u spread them lies
About my sexuality lil' old me
Just because u in my face
Doesn't mean u have to erase
What's inside of me oh can't u see
I don't pay it no mind
I'm just puttin' in my time
Until he sets me free (sets me free)
And then u'll see (you think you'll see)
Chorus:
Ain't nothin' but changes
Ain't nothin' but changes
Ain't nothin' but changes
Ain't nothin' but changes
And now it seems from everything
Someone has put a hold on me (umph, damn)
But I just try to keep my pride
Even though sometimes I cry (oh I cry)
But it seems u do me wrong
You never miss your well until your water is gone (it's all gone)
But I don't pay it no mind
I'm just puttin' in my time
Until he sets me free and then u'll see
Chorus
Yeah, sleepy brown, society of soul
Kickin' it with tlc
On that funk
That real
Y'all don't know nothin' about that
Y'all don't know nothin' about that (yeah, umph)
