[Intro: Erykah Badu]

Okay (Real, uh, uh)

Ah (Real)

2007 A.D. (Real), Erykah Badu, Tumbling Dice


[Chorus: Erykah Badu]

I do my real thang, real thang, real thang

Real thang, real thang, trill thang (Trill, trill)


[Verse 1: Erykah Badu]

You don't, uh-don't, uh-don't know me (Real)

So don't discuss with your homies (Real)

Poker face for you phonies (Real)

Start the show now (Real, real)

No bacon soda, cake soldier (Real)

Don't plan to dine on these over (She real)

Kick your door down (Uh, real)

Gon' bust it, thump down (Real, chill)


[Chorus: Erykah Badu]

Real thang, real thang, real thang (Ayy, real)

Real thang, real thang, trill thang (Trill, real)

[Verse 2: Ab-Liva & Erykah Badu]

The re-up gang know the deal, Badu is so rеal

Classic is the feel, retro, the flow is ill

Pеrfect with the timin', I'm a hustler, most def'

What do we have in common? Perfection with the rhymin' (Okay)


[Verse 3: Pusha T]

Yeah, let me chime in, Pusha flow, diamond (Uh)

The chain just blindin', the watch is co-signin' (Uh)

Peel the top back and let the sun shine in (Uh)

You know the real thing as soon as you climb in (Uh, yeah, canon)


[Verse 4: Sandman]

I climb down one of them thangs, the G4

Life in the fakes, carryin' cake, I'm Igor

Can keep more, the pure snow white, never stopped upon

Get out of line, I might transform into Megatron (Plah)


[Verse 5: No Malice]

Plus, we got bird flu like avian

Watch bricks wash ashore like Elian

In Miami, pushin' the nose candy

I'm feelin' like Michael the way I'm baggin' the GRAMMYs


[Chorus: Erykah Badu]

Real thang, real thang, trill thang (Ah-ah, ah, real)

Uh (Thang), real (It's what, doin' it real, real)

Real thang, real thang, trill thang (Wow-oh)

(Ayy), real (Ooh, real, ooh)

Real, trill, real (Ah-ooh)

Real (Oh-oh), real


[Bridge: Erykah Badu]

Ladies and gentleman (Real), it's about to get metaphysical (Oh, oh)

Uh, uh


[Verse 6: Erykah Badu]

Through sympathetic vibration (Real)

You 'bout to feel the sensation (Real)

Pendulum in rotation (Real)

Polarizing (Real)

Toolie parks on my dresser (Real)

Shatter glasses like Ella (Real)

Touch a point and add pressure (Real)

Crystalizin' (Real)

‘Bout to balance your chakra (Real)

Raise your octave to opera (Real)

Electrical shock ya (Real)

Magnetizin' (Real)

Amethysts on your temple (Real)

Augmenting your dimple (Real)

Your double helix gon’ triple (Real)

Visualizin', come on


[Chorus: Erykah Badu]

Real thang, real thang, real thang (Ooh)

Real thang, real thang, trill thang (Trill, trill)

Real thang, real thang, real thang (Real, baby, trill)

Real thang, real thang, trill thang (Tried to do, do, do, do, do)


[Outro: Erykah Badu]

Fall back (Fall, fall), tried to give it all to your soldiers

Fall back (Hey, uh), oh (Hey)

Fall back (Oh, oh), down, down

Oh-oh
