[Chorus] x 2
(Erykah Badu)
If you were worried `bout where
I been or who I saw or
what club I went to with my homies
baby don`t worry you know that you got me
[Verse 1]
(Black Thought)
Somebody told me that this planet was small
we use to live in the same building on the same floor
and never met before
until I`m overseas on tour
and peep this ethiopian queen from philly
taking classes abroad
she studying film and photo flash focus record
said she workin on a flick and
could my click do the score
she said she loved my show in paris
at Elysee Montmartre
and that I stepped off the stage
and took a piece of her heart
we knew from the start that
things fall apart, intentions shatter
she like that shit don`t matter
when I get home get at her
through letter, phone, whatever
let`s link, let`s get together
shit you think not, think the Thought went home and forgot
time passed, we back in philly now she up in my spot
tellin me the things I`m tellin her is makin her hot
startin buildin with her constantly round the clock
now she in my world like hip-hop
and keep tellin me
[Chorus] x2
[Verse 2]
(Black Thought)
Yo, I`m the type that`s always catchin a flight
and sometimes I gotta be out at the height of the night
and that`s when she flip and get on some `ol
(Eve)
Another lonely night
seems like I`m on the side you only loving your mic
I know you gotta get that paper daddy keep that shit tight
but yo I need some sort of love in my life, you dig me
while politicin with my sister from new york city
she said she know this ball player and he think I`m pretty
sike, I`m playin boo, you know it`s just wit you I`m stayin boo
and when cats be poppin game I don`t hear what they sayin boo
when you out there in the world, I`m still your girl
with all my classes I don`t have the time for life`s thrills
so when you sweatin on stage think of me when you rhyme
and don`t be listenin to your homies they be leavin you blind
(Black Thought)
Yeah, so what you sayin I can trust you?
(Eve)
Is you crazy? you my king for real
(Both)
But sometimes relationships get ill
(Eve)
No doubt
[Chorus] x2
[Verse 3]
(Black Thought)
Thet snake could be that chick
and that rat could be that cool cat
that`s whispering she tryin to play you for the fool Black
if something`s on your chest then let it be known
see I`m not your every five minutes all on the phone
and on the topic of trust, it`s just a matter of fact
that people bite back and fracture what`s intact
and they`ll forever be I ain`t on some oh I`m a celebrity
I deal with the real so if it`s artificial let it be
I`ve seen people caught in love like whirlwinds
listening to they squads and listening to girlfriends
that`s exactly the point where they whole world ends
lies come in, that`s where that drama begins, she like
[Chorus] until fade
