Badu - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Samson]

I see you looking at me different, cos I’m standing on the precipice

Not staring down at past decisions, or what you other bitches said of us

But I’ve been down on myself lately, and I’d rather that you didn’t get involved

You just broke me like you made me, how the hell we meant to get along

Listening to Erykah Badu, somehow end up thinking about you, about you, about you

Saw you out last night you were fronting, acting like you want me for one thing we touch I feel nothing

You make me crazy

That just pains me

The words evade me

I can’t explain it

I though I knew who I was just a year ago

Same reflection when I’m looking in that mirror tho

I got advice, I’d never sit and listen so

I’m getting quiet, alone what’s the dealio

Reboot that system say something I’ll listen

I’m keeping my distance from poisonous victims

Sometimes that’s myself, I’m taking shit for granted like the cards I was dealt

Born into health, security, family - that’s like king queen suited on the button without an ante

At the final table shit get’s twice as fatal and I now I can’t wait for my appraisal

This is knock and run with demons, don’t lock it up release it

Start screaming hold tight to the shit you believe in this evening

And hold it with pride, and hope it lasts for the rest of the night yeah

You make me crazy

That just pains me

The words evade me

I can’t explain it

You make me crazy

That just pains me

The words evade me

I can’t explain it
