...& On

One-one-one-one, one-two, one-two

On and on and on and 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 tryna 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

Zi-dip dip dow, zip dip dow

The gold-tooth smile split them vowels

Bling bloom bling, melanated

'Bout to give birth to church

But everybody wanna 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 Mama

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 your head with this 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 more

But still the people really wanna 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
