... & On

(album: Mama's Gun - 2000)

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?
See, I be that gypsy flipping life game from the right brain

Ascension maintained
Rolling through like a burning flame
Like a supernova star
She be the light when they in the dark

Morning
The moon pass the sun
Four constellations start forming
A cross 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 talking that shit Badu, Badu
What good do your words do if they can't understand you?
Don't go talking that shit Badu, Badu

Said I'm a Pisces

Zika deka del

Well, well, I'm raising hell
People always trying to find the world I'm in
I'm the envy of the women and I rule the men
Two fish, one swimming up stream
One swimming down living 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, melanated
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 talking that shit Badu, Badu
What good do your words do if they can't understand you?
Don't go talking 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 (material)

"'Cause you did not do your math"
"My cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone"
"Mad props to the God JaBorn"

Things just ain't the same for singers

Gotta sing on the beats they 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 talking that shit Badu, Badu

What good do your words do if they can't understand you?
Don't go talking that shit Badu, Badu
