Chorus: Erykah Badu (repeat 2X)
|
|
If you were worried 'bout where
|
I been or who I saw or
|
what club I went to with my homies
|
baby don'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 the same floor
|
and never met before
|
until I'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 don't matter
|
when I get home get at her
|
through letter, phone, whatever
|
let's link, let'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 I'm tellin her is makin her hot
|
startin buildin with her constantly round the clock
|
now she in my world like hip-hop
|
and keep tellin me
|
|
Chorus
|
|
[Black Thought]
|
Yo, I'm the type that's always catchin a flight
|
and sometimes I gotta be out at the height of the night
|
and that's when she flip and get on some 'ol
|
|
[Eve]
|
Another lonely night
|
seems like I'm on the side you only loving your mic
|
I know you gotta get that paper daddy keep that shit tight
|
but yo I need some sort of love in my life, you dig me
|
while politicin with my sister from new york city
|
she said she know this ball player and he think I'm pretty
|
Psych, I'm playin boo, you know it's just wit you I'm stayin boo
|
and when cats be poppin game I don't hear what they sayin boo
|
when you out there in the world, I'm still your girl
|
with all my classes I don't have the time for life's thrills
|
so when you sweatin on stage think of me when you rhyme
|
and don't be listenin to your homies they be leavin 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 ill
|
[Eve] No doubt
|
|
Chorus
|
|
[Black Thought]
|
Thet snake could be that chick
|
and that rat could be that cool cat
|
that's whispering "she tryin to play you for the fool Black"
|
if something's on your chest then let it be known
|
see I'm not your every five minutes all on the phone
|
and on the topic of trust, it's just a matter of fact
|
that people bite back and fracture what's intact
|
and they'll forever be I ain't on some "oh I'm a celebrity"
|
I deal with the real so if it's artificial let it be
|
I've seen people caught in love like whirlwinds
|
listening to they squads and listening to girlfriends
|
that's exactly the point where they whole world ends
|
lies come in, that's where that drama begins, she like
|
|
Chorus: repeat until fade
