Roots - You Got Me lyrics
rate meChorus: Erykah Badu (repeat 2X)<br />
<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 />
(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 Elysee Montmartre<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<br />
<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 />
<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 />
Psych, 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 />
<br />
[Black] Yeah, so what you sayin I can trust you?<br />
[Eve]Is you crazy, you my king for real<br />
[Both]But sometimes relationships get ill<br />
[Eve]No doubt<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
<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: repeat until fade
