A one-one, two one two

On & on & on & on

Wake the f*** 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 ish Badu, Badu



What good do your words do

If they can't understand you

Don't go talkin' that ish 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 ish Badu, Badu



What good do your words do

If they can't understand you

Don't go talkin' that ish 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 ish Badu, Badu



What good do your words do

If they can't understand you

Don't go talkin' that ish Badu, Badu
