Week 28 is here, and I’m excited to share my cover of “Killing Me Softly with His Song,” inspired by The Fugees’ rendition. This song is about the unexpected power of music—how a single voice, a simple melody, can feel so personal that it exposes your deepest emotions. It tells the story of someone who comes to listen out of curiosity but is completely undone by the raw honesty of the performer, as if he’s singing her very own pain and memories.
A huge thank you to the judges and the Vibes Web3 platform for awarding me 3rd place in Week 27! I truly appreciate the love and support.
Hope this rendition resonates with you. Let me know what you think!

"Killing Me Softly"
[Lauryn:]
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
[Fugees:]
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style,
And so I came to see him and listened for a while.
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes,
Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time),
Singing my life with his words (two times),
Killing me softly with this song,
Killing me softly with this song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on...
Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time),
Singing my life with his words (two times),
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song
[Clef:]
Yo L-Boy, take it to the bridge
Come on
[Lauryn:]
Strumming my pain with his fingers (yes, he was singing),
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
[Fading:]
Strumming my pain
Put your hands. Put your hands for L-Boogie from the Refugee Camp
Refugees up in here
Singing my life with his words,
You know how we're doing
L-Boogie up in here...
Wyclef
Prazrel
Said, L-Boogie up in here...
Wyclef up in here
My man Lil' Base
Prazrel up in here
Jerry one time
We got Warren up in here
Killing me softly with his song,
Outside is up in here
Killing me softly with his song,
Refugee Camp
Refugee Camp
Refugee Camp
My ladies, my ladies up in here
We got ... up in here
