| A one-one, two one two
|
| On &on &on &on
|
| Wake the fuck up 'cause it’s been too long
|
| Say wait a minute, Queen
|
| What’s your name
|
| I be that gypsy
|
| Flippin' life game from the right brain
|
| Ascension maintained
|
| Rolling through like a burning flame
|
| Like a super nova star
|
| She be the light
|
| When they in the dark
|
| Morning
|
| The moon pass the sun
|
| Four constellations start forming
|
| Across up in the sky
|
| But everybody wanna ask me why
|
| What good do your words do
|
| If they can’t understand you
|
| Don’t go talkin' that shit Badu, Badu
|
| What good do your words do
|
| If they can’t understand you
|
| Don’t go talkin' that shit Badu, Badu
|
| Said I’m a Pisces
|
| Zika deka del
|
| Well well I’m raising hell
|
| People always tryin' to find the world I’m in
|
| I’m the envy of the women and I rule the men
|
| 2 fish, 1 swimmin' up stream
|
| 1 swimmin' down livin' in a dream
|
| But when she loves she tends to cling
|
| When incense burns, smoke unfurls
|
| Analog girl in a digital world
|
| The rasta style flower child
|
| Zip dip dow, zip dip dow
|
| The gold tooth smile
|
| Split them vowels
|
| Bling bloom bling, melinated
|
| I’m 'bout ta give birth to church
|
| But everybody want to ask this earth
|
| What'
|
| What good do your words do
|
| If they can’t understand you
|
| Don’t go talkin' that shit Badu, Badu
|
| What good do your words do
|
| If they can’t understand you
|
| Don’t go talkin' that shit Badu, Badu
|
| Bridge!
|
| I remember when I went
|
| With Momma to the Washateria
|
| Remember how I felt the day
|
| I first started my period
|
| Remember there in school one day
|
| I learned I was inferior
|
| Water in my cereal
|
| Badu in your stereo
|
| Holla if you hear me though
|
| Remembering is good if you don’t
|
| Let it be the fear in you
|
| Wrap ya head with this material
|
| Cause you did not do your math
|
| My cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone
|
| Mad props to god ja born
|
| Things just ain’t the same for singers
|
| Gotta sing on the beat the bring us
|
| But that’s all I have ain’t got no mo
|
| But still the people really wanna to know
|
| What good do your words do
|
| If they can’t understand you
|
| Don’t go talkin' that shit Badu, Badu
|
| What good do your words do
|
| If they can’t understand you
|
| Don’t go talkin' that shit Badu, Badu |
