Ms. Hill Lyrics
Artist(Band):Talib Kweli
Another night, slips away (phone ringing)
in other words, (yo, who's this?) I should say
there are no words, (y'all heard it) you should say
there are no words, (I mean it's life)
every night, slips away (I mean, what can I say? it's best)
in other words, I should say
there are no words, you should say
there are no words
Ms. Hill got skills, that's a gift, it's real
get ill, What you spit got the power to uplift a hill
I wish I could talk to Lauryn
I mean excuse me, Ms. Hill
and let her know how much we love her its real
the industry was beating her up
then those demons started eating her up
she need a savior that'll bleed in a cup, yup
we used to kick it in the salad days
when she look at me like she ain't know me 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
then she went to Rome to sing
and tell the Pope about herself
just after she left the Fugees
started rolling with the Marleys
got back with her crew at Dave Chapelle's Block Party
she made songs about Zion
and trying to be faithful
took Blackstar on tour in Europe
I was so grateful
speaking for myself but I'm sure I could speak for Dante
I got to watch a show with Nina Simone and Harry Belafonte
we used to chill at Nkiru, her moms was a customer
she used to love to buy the books by Octavia Butler
Parable of the Sower, the main character's name was Lauren
what the album did for black girls' self-esteem was so important
I got concerned when she got sick on the road
she ain't heavy, I'm a brother
and I wish that I could pick up the load, but no
another night, slips away
in other words, I should say
there are no words, you should say
there are no words
another night slips away
in other words, I should say
there are no words, you should say
there are no words
Ms. Hill got skills, that's a gift, it's real
get ill, what you spit got the power to uplift a hill
got her assitant on the the phone
"I need to talk to Lauryn"
and I wanna walk through the storm, and I could be the umbrella
when the rain is pouring
please, this no disrespect to whoever your man is though
this relationship is strictly music like D'angelo
I know you hate Babylon, and wanna see it fall
but they won't let you read your poem at the BET awards
you give us hope, you give us faith, you the one
they don't like what you got to say
but still they beg you to come, whoa
now that's powerful sis, it's black power
we get money, keep our eyes on the final hour
and no I ain't saying you Christ, that would be sacriligous right?
but you can blow up the night, sisters the rats is vicious
the raps the sisters recite with their black fist up
the devil's last wish is a queen that rise past bitches
we used to read Francis Crest or anything
by Third World Press will press
but what the power of the word suggest
hatched ideas in our heads like birds in the nest
you gave birth to a new sound like Donda West, yes
should I be saying all of this while the mic is on?
I might as well let it out because one day I might be gone
I write this song and hope you feel how much we love you
and you play it, cause I really ain't got the words to say it
but yo
another night, slips away
in other words, I should say
there are no words, you should say
there are no words
another night slips away
in other words, I should say
there are no words, you should say
there are no words
Ms. Hill got skills, that's a gift, it's real
get ill, what you spit got the power to uplift a hill

Review about Ms. Hill
Talib's a fantastic artist and this song's a classic. | Reviewer: Big De | 10/5/2008laughing at the first "anonymous" idiot to type his ignorance on here - Talib Kweli is THE MOST CREATIVE hiphop mc (emcee) out. period. of course he used a sample..IDIOT...hiphop is sample based music that is extremely creative..when done right. and Talib definitely did this right. dude's lyricism is unmatched in his field.
What's the fuss about? | Reviewer: Eric | 12/31/2007
Okay, he shoulda given cred to Ben Kweller. But being a Kweller fan, I think it's pretty cool that he is being sampled. Kweller and Kweli are both the real deal. They could both be more successful if they sold out but they didn't.
Ben Kweller who? | Reviewer: LA | 10/29/2007
Ben Kweller did the chorus... not the song. the chorus was sung by a girl not Talib. talib is amazing. listen to his other songs he's the of the most creative MCs.
this whole Lauryn thing is so sad. She's truly a Queen.
Ben Kweller Sample | Reviewer: nah? | 10/22/2007
Yeah the chorus was used without permission, but thats not Kweli, thats the producer who made the beat who sampled In Other Words.
Wow, ingnorance is bliss.. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/8/2007
Every time I hear this song I almost cry. I didn't even kno what the lyrics were about until recently when I decided to look them up because I love the song so much. Talib is very sincere about this subject. You realize this when you hear his voice so beautifully expressed with every lyric.Talib is very creative and respectful and thoughtful and this song diserves so much respect. =]
Amazing | Reviewer: Jenn | 9/24/2007
I first was introduced to Lauryn Hill in Sister act, fell in love with her voice. Then went online listened to her interviews and perspecives and then fell in love with her. I respect her and what she has done. This song is amazing and shows how much Mr.Hill is respected not only by the writer but by everyone that listens to the song. We love you Lauryn and Respect you.
Did Anonymous Listen!!! | Reviewer: L | 9/9/2007
Kweli's not creative because he used Ben Kweller's lyrics in the chorus? Buy the damn album and check the credits. By the way while your at it, listen to verses in between the chorus and and you will hear the definition of creativty. 1.
Ripped of Ben Kweller | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/27/2007
The lyrics of the chorus are from Ben Kweller's song In Other Words. He used them without permission. Yeah. He's really creative.
