HOOK (Hildegard)
Medieval Era, we feelin it.
See Europe? Black Death is killin it.

But take a trip to Bingen-town
They tried to shut me down
A thousand years is long

But I'm still in this.
Turn this song up loud,
Take a trip to Bingen-town

They tried to shut me down
A thousand years is long
But I'm still in this.


VERSE 1 (Ali Stax)
Back in one-oh-nine-eight there was a noble little group

A family so so rich, that they prolly owned a coupe.
Had a baby that was dedicated to the church (Whoop! Whoop!)
She knew a lot about herbs, and could prolly make a mean soup.

For you. Or for her whole convent that she joined at just eight years old.
Studied under Jutta, who was pretty cool and stuff, and to Hildegard she told
She could read minds.

But then she died.
So our friend Hildegard.
Became known world-wide.

She wrote tons of books about plants
She wrote tons of books about France
Not really, but she did write biographies and a play and a bunch of chants.

She said that God told her to write
What came to her mind later that night
So she did write it down, what became a dark time's guiding light.

But take a trip to Bingen-town
They tried to shut me down

A thousand years is long
But I'm still in this.
Turn this song up loud,

Take a trip to Bingen-town
They tried to shut me down
A thousand years is long

But I'm still in this.





VERSE 2 (LVitty)

Hey! LVitty up in this house of God
You're prolly thinkin, "Man this is odd
(spoken) She's not in this class! She doesn't even go here!"

Hey! Don't kill my vibe!
I know a lot about the Medieval Age
And this highly sought after chick.

Hildegard don't follow no rules
Like me; we're both pretty slick.
At that time, there was no music

For girls like us, so she wrote it
Only for women, for her convent.
This is a girl power rap, don't throw a fit.

(Hildegard)
While I was working my mystic powers
Writing songs about animals and flowers

My bro, St. Basil, wanted secular music to stop, man, he was sour.
Also there were neumes, growing in style
And polyphony, from here to the Nile

Christians were persecuted awhile
By my boy Constantine turned down the dial.
I even invented a secret language

That wasn't part of my plan...
I'm sad I didn't get canonized,
But it's cool; I'm just a "poor little woman"!
