[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 shit, 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 shit 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', shit seems impossible
Try humiliate me on the net, that shit 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 n***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 shit-shit
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 shits and gigg's, hahahaha
Yeah, just to watch and see who live
I was never with that love everybody shit anyway
I hate everyone the same, toxic and nothing changed
My bitch 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
N***as mad 'cause I'm sending bitches 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 shit
Wubba lubba dub dub
Never been okay with n***as who would rather follow trends than make a statement
And if you think it ain't shit 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
