EarthGang - Erykah lyrics

[Intro: Johnny Venus & Erykah Badu] Yeah (Hey) First time I heard a Erykah Badu song, I was like, probably like six (Hey, oh) I was riding around with my uncle on 285 on the west side, like (Oh, oh) [?] over there by MLK, it was raining, it was pouring And "On & On" came on the radio And I was like, man, I ain't, I ain't never heard or felt nothing like this before (Hey) This is my first introduction to like, what music could do to the body, for the spirit (Hey, oh, oh) You know what I'm sayin'? (Oh) [Verse 1: Johnny Venus] I met a man outside Magic City He asked me for some spare change I could give him I said "I left that money in therе" But the blessings evеrywhere done blessed him with the gift of forgiveness Huh, and that Black Mamba strength to pivot Eighty-one point performance to seal it This that real rap sh*t, know you gon' feel it In your Fat Belly Bella, the fire is kicking I been in the spotlight long enough to know that The real you is the best you, I suggest you show that Never mind the sh*t you in right now, that's where you grow at Build your houses next to the river where love flows at Pain and depression is seeping and I can't let it though Faith in the palm of my hands, hold on tight, don't let it go Protect my peace and guide my heart to say just let me know With all the madness I'm seein', sh*t seems impossible Try humiliate me on the net, that sh*t sus We all fightin' private battles, I suggest you chill, bro I could never imagine being fifteen years old Student cellphones capturing somebody attacking me A healer's what Lufuno dreamt to be An angel in the sky, now I pray her spirit's free We can cook a formula for cryptocurrencies But down here, it's hard to find a recipe for rest in peaces [Chorus: Johnny Venus & Johnny Venus and Erykah Badu] Got me screaming "Come back, come back, baby, come back" Got down on my knees and pray her family gets relief And the words I speak save you from that Huh, yeah I say "Come back, come back, baby, come back" Yeah, hard times birthed the best of me Real ni**as, they come from that, uh [Post-Chorus: Doctur Dot & Erykah Badu] So can I get a window seat? (Hey) Don't want nobody next to me I just want a ticket outta town A look around and a safe touch down Can I get a window seat? (Oh) Don't want nobody, next to me (Yeah, oh, oh) See, I just want a chance to fly (Oh, yeah) A chance to cry and a long bye-bye (Yeah, yeah) [Verse 2: Doctur Dot] Why so serious? Haha Why so serious? Hahaha We all gonna die anyway, hahahaha Yeah, woo, gunshot, that's a snare Body hit the ground, thump, that's the kick-kick Music all around, ooh, that's my sh*t-sh*t Who that is? I'm the dude in the distance Lost two aunties in the same day Got the news at a shoot, taking flick-flicks On the album cover, feeling dizzy, looking sick Every time I hear this beat, I swear my thinking drifts Kill the internet, we get apocalypse If I had the power, I would flip the switch For sh*ts and gigg's, hahahaha Yeah, just to watch and see who live I was never with that love everybody sh*t anyway I hate everyone the same, toxic and nothing changed My b*tch riding shotgun in her bonnet all day I love this ho, might as well throw these condoms away I'm poetic, I get seven sauce from one conversation ni**as mad 'cause I'm sending b*tches flight confirmations Been advanced my whole life, mama called it impatient You steady talking 'bout some opps but yo' partners is agents Make it make sense, x-ray the fake sh*t Wubba lubba dub dub Never been okay with ni**as who would rather follow trends than make a statement And if you think it ain't sh*t else to say then you know what yo' place is [Chorus: Doctur Dot & Erykah Badu] Come back, come back, baby, come back (Hahaha) I want you to need me Come back, come back, baby, come back (Hey, ooh, baby) Come back, come back, baby, come back (Want you to need me) Come back, come back, baby, come back (Need me, ah, ah) [Post-Chorus: Erykah Badu] So can I get a window seat? (Hey) Don't want nobody next to me I just want a ticket outta town A look around and a safe touch down Oh, ah, hey (Next to me) I just want a chance to fly A chance to cry and a long bye-bye
