Erykah Badu — On & On Live

[Verse 1] Oh my, my, my I'm feelin' high My money's gone I'm all alone Too much to see, the world keeps turnin' Oh what a day, what a day, what a day Peace and blessings manifest with every lesson learned If your knowledge were your wealth then it would be well earned If we were made in his image then call us by our names Most intellects do not believe in God but they fear us just the same [Chorus] Oh, on and on, and on and on My cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone Oh, on and on, and on and on All night 'til the break of dawn I go on and on, and on and on My cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone Oh Lord, on and on, and on and on Gotdammit I'ma sing my song [Verse 2] I was born underwater with three dollars and six dimes Yeah, you might laugh (why), 'cause you did not do your math Like one, two, three—damn, y'all feel that over there? Like one, two, three—y'all feel it over there? Like one, two, three—in the middle, y'all feel that? Like one, two, three—y'all feel that? Like one, two, three, ha, the world keeps turnin' Oh, what a day, what a day, what a day The man that knows something knows that he knows nothing at all Does it seem colder in your summer time and hotter in your fall? If we were made in his image then call us by our names Most intellects do not believe in God but they fear us just the same Somebody say... [Chorus] On and on, and on and on My cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone Oh Lord, on and on, and on and on All night 'til the vultures swarm On...on... My cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone On...on... Mad props to the god JaBorn [Bridge] I...you're feelin' kind of hungry, 'cause my high is comin' down Don't feed me yours, 'cause your food does not endure I think I need a cup of tea, the world keeps burnin' Oh, what a day... [Verse 3] You rush into destruction 'cause you don't have nothin' left The mothership can't save you so your ass is gon' get left If we were made in his image then call us by our names Most intellects do not believe in God but they fear us just the same Ah, come on... [Chorus] On and on, and on and on My cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone I go on, on and on, on and on on on, why 'Cause you did not do your math Oh Lord, on and on, and on and on My cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone I go on, ha, on, on (And on and on) [Outro Rap] I think it's time to take the jam deep into the hype Hardcore, cold hype in the mic I just so happen to be, tough with a capital 'T' Can't no weak ass trick MC keep up, up with me Hard on the mic, steadily smooth with rhyme You could read about Badu in your hip-hop time And now I'm good to go since I'm up to par Yeah, I'm dope on a rope, they wanna play tug-of-war Jealousy appears between both your ears 'Cause I've been doing this shit for years, ha Never going out wack, I'm a female mack So saps get back while my dollars stack Potential fine, not conceited, but still hard to handle Got it up top, don't watch the blank channel Got soul 'cause I'm funky, take a whiff of the jam You're on with the song, just say 'Thank you, ma'am'
