My money's gone, I'm all alone
My money's gone, I'm all alone
Yeah Yeah
O.J
Dream Machine
Ah
This is for all my sisters, queens who got used to blisters
Who never smile in pictures, know it's to prove persistence
Struggle to move the distance, hustle but falling short
Like in a court you were judged, ha, thought you were the victim
What you were depicting, was light amidst the darkest days
When you are eclipsing, you start to live in cautious ways
Sure, the cure is fixing, but not in time to let the brain
Make medicine from the pain, I feel your pain, listen
Life is like a prism your light's in a heightened rhythm (ah)
Spread your soul in wisdom in spite of this broken system
Fight till your glow has risen, live in a split reality
It's like your core a schism, angel amidst humanity
Your past revisits here, the trauma breeds mistrust then
Mistrust elicits fear, you're hurt but persevere
Your heart in a dark cloud, it rains so you can see a
Barren land turn to growth your skies envisioned clear
Yes, I know you've seen enough
Know your soul's immaculate yah yah
Know your soul's immaculate yah yah
Know your soul's immaculate yah yah
Know your soul's immaculate, know your soul's immaculate yah yah!
What does destiny know?
Is the best of you kept in the depth of your soul
Where'd the rest of you go?
Is it kept in a section you're less in control of
Just center yourself
Just center yourself
It's sentiment to your soul
Just center yourself
Just center yourself
It's sentiment to your soul
People gon' doubt you, baby don't stop 'cause evil will cloud your thoughts
Speak from your heart when you feel it's too hard to
Just listen to Erykah Badu, Erykah Badu, Erykah Badu yeah
Just listen to Erykah Badu, Erykah Badu, Erykah Badu yeah
Just listen to Erykah Badu
A couple miles in the air as I'm writing this (yagayo)
Heard her tell me that the secret to passion is- (yagayo)
Happiness, what if love is the catalyst? (yagayo)
Would you know all the angels you sat amidst (yagayo)
I know most the world is just lacking this (yagayo)
It's no wonder our Queens grow passionless (heavenly souls)
Nah listen what the prophecy utters (live in accord)
If love is not the purpose then what is (woman a God)
So wonder why does her heart wither?
Her flow is supernatural like the merchant's river
I know she born a wonder see abundance in her
I know she born a wonder see abundance in her
Yah yah, yah yah
Baby don't stop yah yah
Baby don't stop yah yah
Cause' evil will cloud your thoughts yah
Cause' evil will cloud your thoughts yah
Speak from your heart you
Speak from your heart you
Feel it's too hard to just listen to Erykah Badu
