The Roots featuring Erykah Badu - You Got Me
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
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
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 Elise Momarre
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 s@#$ don’t matter when I get home get at her
Through letter, phone, whatever, let’s link, let’s get together
S@#$, you think not, think the Thought went home and forgot
Time passed, we back in Philly now, she up in my spa
Tellin’ me the things I’m tellin’ her is makin’ her hot
Startin’ buildin’ with her constantly ‘round the clock
Now she in my world like hip-hop and keep tellin’ me
If you were worried ‘bout where
I been or who I saw or
What club I went to with my homies
Baby, don’t worry, you know that you got me
If you were worried ‘bout where
I been or who I saw or
What club I went to with my homies
Baby, don’t worry, you know that you got me
Yo’, I’m the type that’s always catchin’ a flight
And sometimes I gotta be out at the height of the night
And that’s when she flip and get on some ‘ol
(Another lonely night)
(Seems like I’m on the side you only loving your mic)
(I know you gotta get that paper, daddy, keep that s@#$ 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)
Psych, 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
Yeah, so what you sayin’ I can trust you
(Is you crazy, you my king for real)
But sometimes relationships get ill
(No doubt)
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
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
That 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
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
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
