Erykah Badu
Erykah’s Remedy
[Intro]
And I preach what I mean y'know
It's like, a different type of shit
Every- every other day and like
I don't know what to do
Whyte Cloud motherfucker
Man i'm tired, fuck
[Verse 1]
Inspired by my childhood, directions I was pushed in
Always thought the world could see what I would see in music
I learnt back in 2021, November I was different with my vision
That Chromesthesia diagnostic would have me tripping
But wishing, felt like a new edition
A new addition to what i'd think when I took a listen
Since I understood, all the things in my palms
Gather new materials they took from me before the start
(That's hard)
As I play my little MIDI file i'm rapping like i'm scared to fall
They got a brand new melody, a remedy, a felony
Convictions placed to put on trial
All day, i'd say we won't get along
And you this know tape about me
The essence that I grow
I've been on a journey in the fields of southern Rome
Educate my greed 'coz i'm no longer coming for the throne
That's right, all i'm saying, truthful tones
[Chorus]
School took the piss of my feelings and flaws
Ain't a right, or a wrong that they would try to pause
All they saw of me, a target, arrows in the walls
But fuck that, I never even got that involved
Get involved, yeah
I got involved, yeah, yeah yeah
[Verse 2]
I'd repeat the process
Just to cement in your tiny brain
Motherfuckers don't know shit
Their bars and beats are all the same (the same)
But I mean, I don't really care
Like be yourself, I won't deny
I feel like my music won't be working all the time
I got the proof (proof, proof)
Try to trap McKnight, 'coz I got shit to lose
In a single moment, I knew school would be the death of us
Swung a fist to battle up and try to prove they're tough
[Hook]
And I've been trying a little too much
Ain't nothing better than feeling the rush
Remedy of a new relation
Light it up for the celebration
And I've been trying a little too much
Ain't nothing better than feeling the rush
Remedy of a new relation
Light it up for the celebration
And I've been trying a little too much
Ain't nothing better than feeling the rush
Remedy of a new relation
Light it up for the celebration
[Chorus]
School took the piss of my feelings and flaws
Ain't a right, or a wrong that they would try to pause
All they saw of me, a target, arrows in the walls
But fuck that, I never even got that involved
Get involved, yeah
[Outro: Erykah Badu & Samarchy]
Sorry I disturbed you (I got involved, yeah)
Yeah, alright people I just wanna, say one thing to you
Of-c- Curtis King of course, Dallas Texas
Look, I wanna say one thing to you
Women and men, boys and girls
Anything that is for you, you shall have it
It ain't gon' miss you
Keep working
