Story By Erykah Badu |
| Here I am, Miss Badu |
| Not Big Sean, but I don’t fuck with you |
| It’s 'cause I’m from the D, the other D |
| But Detroit has a special place in my heart |
| Creative, deep, rooted, organic, cosmic |
| Fantastic, futuristic, ancient, musical |
| When I think of Detroit, I think of these things |
| There’s something in that dirty water that gives it its flavor |
| There’s an invisible intelligence that runs through the streets |
| Like an underground rooting system |
| Millions and billions of memory of atoms of all of the beautiful music that has |
| been created there |
| And I’ve seen it volve into things only felt in the hart |
| I know this to be true |
| Thank you, Berry Gordy, for that little house |
| Thank you, Stevie Wonder, for always calling me and reminding me that it is |
| there |
| That thing |
| I always long to reconnect with it when I lose my way musically |
| Thank you, J Dilla, for your peculiar, peculiar intelligence |
| Yeah, Detroit just has a magic, and I know it to be true |
| Not Big Sean, but I don’t fuck with you |
| Live from Badubotron, Nubian phenomenon |
| Detroit, where the Nubians grow |
