rate me

Song by The Roots feat. Erykah Badu & Jill Scott<br /><br>

[Chorus] x 2<br>

(Erykah Badu)<br>

If you were worried 'bout where<br>

I been or who I saw or<br>

what club I went to with my homies<br>

baby don't worry you know that you got me<br>

<br>

[Verse 1]<br>

(Black Thought)<br>

Somebody told me that this planet was small<br>

we use to live in the same building on the same floor<br>

and never met before<br>

until I'm overseas on tour <br>

and peep this ethiopian queen from philly <br>

taking classes abroad<br>

she studying film and photo flash focus record<br>

said she workin on a flick and<br>

could my click do the score<br>

she said she loved my show in paris<br>

at elise momarre<br>

and that I stepped off the stage<br>

and took a piece of her heart<br>

we knew from the start that<br>

things fall apart, intentions shatter<br>

she like that shit don't matter <br>

when I get home get at her<br>

through letter, phone, whatever<br>

let's link, let's get together<br>

shit you think not, think the Thought went home and forgot<br>

time passed, we back in philly now she up in my spa<br>

tellin me the things I'm tellin her is makin her hot<br>

startin buildin with her constantly round the clock<br>

now she in my world like hip-hop <br>

and keep tellin me<br>

<br>

[Chorus] x2<br>

<br>

<br>

[Verse 2]<br>

(Black Thought)<br>

Yo, I'm the type that's always catchin a flight<br>

and sometimes I gotta be out at the height of the night<br>

and that's when she flip and get on some 'ol<br>

(Eve)<br>

Another lonely night<br>

seems like I'm on the side you only loving your mic<br>

I know you gotta get that paper daddy keep that shit tight<br>

but yo I need some sort of love in my life, you dig me<br>

while politicin with my sister from new york city<br>

she said she know this ball player and he think I'm pretty<br>

<br>

sike, I'm playin boo, you know it's just wit you I'm stayin boo <br>

and when cats be poppin game I don't hear what they sayin boo<br>

when you out there in the world, I'm still your girl<br>

with all my classes I don't have the time for life's thrills<br>

so when you sweatin on stage think of me when you rhyme<br>

and don't be listenin to your homies they be leavin you blind<br>

(Black Thought)<br>

Yeah, so what you sayin I can trust you?<br>

(Female Voice)<br>

Is you crazy, you my king for real<br>

(Both)<br>

But sometimes relationships get ill<br>

(Female Voice)<br>

No doubt<br>

<br>

[Chorus] x2<br>

<br>

[Verse 3]<br>

(Black Thought)<br>

Thet snake could be that chick <br>

and that rat could be that cool cat<br>

that's whispering "she tryin to play you for the fool Black"<br>

if something's on your chest then let it be known<br>

see I'm not your every five minutes all on the phone<br>

and on the topic of trust, it's just a matter of fact<br>

that people bite back and fracture what's intact<br>

and they'll forever be I ain't on some "oh I'm a celebrity"<br>

I deal with the real so if it's artificial let it be<br>

I've seen people caught in love like whirlwinds<br>

listening to they squads and listening to girlfriends<br>

that's exactly the point where they whole world ends<br>

lies come in, that's where that drama begins, she like<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>
