I wish I could talk to Lauryn, I mean, excuse me, Ms. Hill
12
And let her know how much we love her, it's real

The industry was beatin' her up
14
Then them demons started eatin' her up
15
She need a savior that'll bleed in a cup, yup
16
We used to kick it in the salad days
17
When she look at me like she don't know me
18
When she see me nowadays

I nod, she nod back, that's how it stay

Her songs still better than anything out that hot or power play

Remember how they accused her of saying

She did her album without help

Just after she left the Fugees, started rolling with the Marleys

Got back with her crew at Dave Chapelle's Block Party

Took Blackstar on tour to Europe, I was so grateful

Parable of the Sower, the main character's name was Lauren

What the album did for black girls' self-esteem was so important

Got her assistant on the the phone, I need to talk to Lauryn
48
And I wanna walk through the storm
49
And I could be the umbrella when the rain is pouring
50
Please, this no disrespect to whoever your man is though
51
This relationship is strictly music like D'Angelo
52
I know you hate Babylon and wanna see it fall
53
But they won't let you read your poem at the BET awards
54
You give us hope, you give us faith, you the one
55
They don't like what you got to say but still they beg you to come
56
Whoa, now that's powerful sis, it's black power
57
We get money, keep our eyes on the final hour
58
And no, I ain't saying you Christ, that would be sacrilegious right?
59
[Incomprehensible]
60
Them raps the sisters recite with their black fist up
61
The devil's last wish is a queen who rise past bitches
62
We used to read Francis Crest or anything
63
By third world press will press
64
But what the power of the word suggest
65
Hatched ideas in our heads like birds in the nest
66
You gave birth to a new sound like Donda West, yes
67
Should I be saying all of this while the mic is on?
68
I might as well let it out because one day I might be gone
69
I write this song and hope you feel how much we love you
70
And you play it 'cause I really ain't got the words to say it, but yo
