Girl came through, the light skin honey with the cinnamon smell,
Girlwas so enticing, baby, make a nigga choose hell
Momma hopped up on cocain
Daddy on space ships with no brain
Sister gone numb the pain the same
Why same DNA cell
She was turned out on shine new things (diamond gold chains diamond gold rings)
Center-fold spread, she trying to do things
See she be on that cough syrup in coke cans
20-inch-rim-man with no land, her pussy gone numb the pain the same
Why same DNA strand
We're not well
We're not well
We can't tell...
Brenda done died with no name
Nickel bag coke to the brain
Will they ever find the vaccine?
Shitty-damn-damn-baby-bang
Rich man got the double barrell,
Po' man got his back to the door
Code white stands for trouble
Shots from the po-po

Erykah Badu, all'anagrafe Erica Abi Wright, è una cantante, compositrice e attrice statunitense nata a Dallas, Texas, nel 1971. Considerata una delle figure più influenti della musica neo soul degli anni '90, Badu ha conquistato il pubblico con la sua voce calda e melodiosa, le sue performance teatrali e i testi introspettivi che esplorano temi come l'amore, la spiritualità e la società. Il suo album di debutto, *Baduizm* (1997), è stato un successo immediato, raggiungendo il disco di platino e vincendo un Grammy Award per il miglior album R and B contemporaneo. Tra i suoi brani più celebri figurano "On and On", "Next Lifetime" e "Appletree". Badu ha collaborato con artisti come Common, D'Angelo e The Roots, contribuendo a definire l'estetica e la sonorità del neo soul. La sua influenza si estende anche al mondo della moda, dove è nota per il suo stile unico e audace.
