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
