[Chorus by Erykah Badu x2]
|
If you were worried about where /
|
Ią„ve been or who I saw or /
|
what club I went to with my homies
|
baby doną„t worry you know that you got me
|
|
[Black Thought]
|
Somebody told me that this planet was small /
|
we use to live in the same building on same floor /
|
and never met before until Ią„m overseas on tour /
|
and peep this Ethiopian queen from Philly taking classes abroad /
|
she studying film and photo flash focus record /
|
said she workin on a flick and could my click do the score /
|
she said she loved my show in Paris at Elysee Montmartre /
|
and that I stepped off the stage and took a piece of her heart /
|
we knew from the start that things fall apart /
|
intentions shatter she like / that shit doną„t matter when I get home /
|
get at her through letter, phone / whatever letą„s link, letą„s get together
|
shit you think not / think the thought went home and forgot
|
time passed, we back in philly now she up in my spa /
|
tellin me the things Ią„m tellin her is makin her hot /
|
startiną„ buildiną„ with her constantly round the clock /
|
now she in my world like hip-hop and keep telliną„ me
|
|
[Chorus by Erykah Badu x2]
|
|
[Black Thought]
|
Yo, Ią„m the type thatą„s always catchiną„ a flight /
|
and sometimes I gotta be out / at the height of the night /
|
and thatą„s when she flip and get on some ą„ol
|
|
[Eve]
|
Another lonely night /
|
seems like Ią„m on the side you only loving your mic /
|
I know you gotta get that paper daddy keep that shit side
|
but yo I need some sort of love in my life, you dig me /
|
while politiciną„ with my sister from new york city /
|
she said she know this ball player and he think Ią„m pretty sigh~ /
|
Ią„m playin boo, you know itą„s just with you Ią„m stayin boo
|
and when cats be poppin game I doną„t hear what they sayiną„ boo /
|
when you out there in the world, Ią„m still your girl /
|
with all my classes I doną„t have the time for lifeą„s thrills /
|
so when you sweatin on stage think of me when you rhyme
|
and doną„t be listenin to your homies they be leaviną„ you blind
|
|
[Black] Yeah, so what you sayin I can trust you
|
[Eve] Is you crazy, you my king for real
|
[Both] But sometimes relationships get illed
|
[Eve] No doubt
|
|
[Chorus by Erykah Badu x 2]
|
|
[Black Thought]
|
Thet snake could be that chick and that rat / could be that cool cat /
|
thatą„s whispering when she tryiną„ to play you for the fool Black /
|
if somethingą„s on your chest then let it be known /
|
see Ią„m not your every five minutes all on the phone /
|
and on the topic of trust / itą„s just a matter of fact /
|
that people bite back / and fracture whatą„s intact /
|
and theyą„ll forever be / I ainą„t on some "oh-Im-a-celebrity"
|
I deal with the real / so if itą„s artificial let it be /
|
Ią„ve seen people caught in love like whirlwinds /
|
listening to they squads and listening to girlfriends /
|
thatą„s exactly the point where they whole world ends /
|
lies come in, thatą„s where that drama begins, she like
|
