[subtletiger]

Ah, the censored version without the N-word. GOOD...I'm adding this to mah playlist. chuch.

[DDazed11]

This is such a deep song... Never understood it when I was younger

[bballano31]

I remember my English teacher playing this song for us when I was in 8th grade when we were going over metaphors. Despite me knowing the entire song forward and backward, the metaphor didn't click until like 2 or 3 years later when I started to get into music that actually had meaning and really took the time to listened to the song again.

[tavern2468]

like such a simple beat and its looped like 500 times but still great and good lyrics

[pjl101003]

I got rid of them bags two weeks ago --- maaaaaaan my back has never felt better!

[queenmother123]

I finally understand what this song means. I have to let go of all my past emotions so I won't be so heavy all the time. I got to pack light.. lots of work to do

[brooklynbajan415]

@queenmother123 and give up the ass to ya man too...

[Swagnificent69Trill]

@broccolihart1 U ANT BULLSHITTIN'!!!!!

[indispensablesoul]

mmmm.. I'm not liking this version..

[Byrd21320]

All that baggage...

[sunkissashley]

xxplosive dr dre similar beat love both songs thou

[Swagnificent69Trill]

@sunkissashley ITS THE SAME EXACT BEAT

[bry3921]

she's been working this one chord and one swing for a long time. Todd Rundgren sings the song for the Bag Lady. I f you don't know, now you know.

[obatron1]

To all the ladies...Badu was trying t send y'all a message. Us guys aren't going to carry your bags or your bullshit...for real. Sometimes you gotta let all that bullshit in your life go so you can move on and live a happy life.

[ebonisunset]

@obatron1 that is not always easy, to you know, to let go of memories of hurt. its a wound that has to heal with time and everyone is diffrent so the time length may vary. also i dont think any woman want you to carry their bags i think they just want a little understanding a lot of love and then the bags she had before will not need to be carried anymore

[xlickmuhcupcke]

I luv all hurr music tew be honestt <3

she is a tru artistt ;D

[Chumba131]

the base on this song is amazing

[Jamil131millz]

4 ladies miss their bus because they had too much stuff so they took the song the wrong way.

[DDBrezzy]

Im 14 years old and all my friends are listening to that taylor gang ishh & what not but im still gonna listen to my real music ..

[TiaDalmasdaughter84]

@DDBrezzy Who's taylor gang

[cwilma1]

I love this song.

[TiaDalmasdaughter84]

@brandonmurrell1 Mama's gun I think

[jessmrow]

I love this song because not enough people tell girls "all you have to hold on is you."

[quanthornton]

she has pretty eyes

[robinvalentine109]

loving this song? try this

Solange- Stillness is the Move

It's a sample

[mamis0sm00th]

i remember when this came out when i was a young child i thought she was actually talking about a lady carrying bags. lmao

[AneekramLuvGaga]

Every Time I Don't Understand The Message In a Song I ask My Mom (She Always has The Answer To Everything) And This Song Was One Of Those Songs.. I Love My Mommy : )

[joyceb34]

This is one of my favorite songs.

[Mrsigurdson]

Save your money

We went to see Erykah at the Ottawa Bluesfest, she was scheduled to play from 8pm to 9:30 pm. By 8:30 the crowd was booing, by 8:35 half the audience had given up and started to go find seats at other shows. It was after 8:45 when she finally deigned to make an appearance,. She scowled at the audience when she took the stage. We left too. Talk about pathetic. I lost all respect for the woman. Talk about an overstuffed ego.

[TiaDalmasdaughter84]

@Mrsigurdson are u gonna post this on every erykah badu video? so wat she had a bad night get over it she's still an amazing artist

[musichippie13]

bag lady you gonna miss your bus,you cant hurry up,cuz got to much stuff!!!!!!! lol

[MrsJazzyWalls]

OMg i remember when this song came out, my dad and me dedicated this song to my mom, she always had alot of bags..



[FiftySevenMusic]

I Still Listen To This Song In 2011, So Soulful!

[aishareyna]

This song when your high.

[BallerMorgan13]

xxxplosive

[rachelsnape]

Song is about meeeee :(

[Elona41294]

@PrinceMontrey actually this song is about a woman trying to begin anew in a relationship, but who has too much emotional "baggage" and can't get close to people. The message of the song is to "pack light" and have hope for the future.

[SwaggerOfTheYear1]

@Elona41294 Thank You!

[ggee5566]

@Elona41294 Say Genius, how did you ever figure that out??? I hate a patronizing DUMBASS like you. Guess what...2+2=4. OOOOH!!! I so SMART!

[darealestn09]

@ggee5566 ummm...well the person they were talking to thought this song was about WEED...so I mean...maybe they weren't being as obnoxious or unnecessary as you assumed?...

[devilledevil98]

@Elona41294 EXACTLY! Thank you! I can't believe how many people don't get it. -__-

[PrinceMontrey]

Does anyone else notice that these bags refer to weed?

[dragonfly62ful]

I love erykah`s music she is one of the best artist`s of all time!!!

[doppelgangerish1]

baggs

[akaishaaa]

Life's story of letting go & moving on. Easier said than done, but she's absolutely right ... you'll miss out on your future harboring on your past!

[th3azscorpio]

one of erykahs best jams!

[thecalistallion]

Erykah Badu's Albums kill any of these new young artists...

Beyonce? No.

Hudson? Tasia? Cole?

Ya'll don't come close.

[broccolihart1]

Still bangin' after all of these years !!!

[macDaddyJazz]

I remember me & my aunt used to love this lady & we still do lol! We would always bump to her while making our way somewhere lol!

[MrsPussykins]

love her x

[anthony34347]

shes the shit mad chill



[CandyClawss]

I'm in another zone right now...

[tljones9]

I've always loved this remix......felt cheated when this version was not on her album, and found out I should've gotten the import, because the remix was included!

[QueTeeLocc]

Grocery Bag Lady'ss..!

[TheBlueBeatle3]

The music video is different and so unique! This beat is amazing!!! And the lyrics are.. man so damn good for words. i love this song! (:

[greenmatrix151023387]

classic amazing song by erykah badu

[AngelRocksxX]

iMiss This Song <3

[sweetlanta]

can someone tell me what this song is about? i love it !

[THISISMYFONTNOTYOURS]

@sweetlanta Someone who carries too much emotional baggage and or somone who is obsessed with material things :)

[sweetlanta]

@THISISMYFONTNOTYOURS thanks ; )

[THISISMYFONTNOTYOURS]

@sweetlanta YW :}

[dayday90sbabi]

@sweetlanta this song is about a women who carry alot of extra baggage in their lives that is holding them back in life so their problems push people away that's why she says in the song "when they see u coming niggas take off running, from u it's true" yea so basically its about people who carry alot of issues and can't seem to get rid of them thats why she says in the song "let it go"

[MrDetta1234]

Erykah Badu ♥ ♥ ♥ !

[MzJazzy123100]

I love Erykah! this song is awesome

[rayrobs24]

[Devereuxx]

[elmozwif3y]

love this kind of music...just makes me feel good and so relaxed.....and i love erykah badu because she speaks the truth in her lyrics and most artists these days don't do that in their lyrics so i appreciate erykah badu sharing her realness through her music..love it

[ecrump10]

This song is for ever good! But what 2 people in their right mind would "dislike" this?

[lolknifefight]

incredible instrumental

[nissan300zxkid]

EXPLOSIVE!!!

[IamKesyerSoze]

Girl, I know sometimes its hard and we can't let go

Oh, someone hurt you oh so bad inside

You can't deny it, You can't stop crying

Ain't that the truth! It's painful, but sometimes you have to learn to let things go. Just breath and take it one day at a time.

[afrikan08]

this concept of this song is kind of meaningless. you can tell it only opens up to ladies. i guess us guys should stick to xxplosive :).

[CharismaMonroe]

@afrikan08 How is it meaningless? She's not talking about an actual purse/ bag, you know that right?

[afrikan08]

@CharismaMonroe what is she talking about then? either way it opens up mostly to the ladies. correct me if I'm not wrong.

[CharismaMonroe]

@afrikan08 She's talking about freeing ourselves & (emotional) BAGGAGE that people carry around. Which both men and women have or eventually obtain as they go through life's obstacles.

[afrikan08]

@CharismaMonroe ok thx you completely changed my perspective thought of this song. i guess i should of been more open minded. thx and peace

[JayejayeMaye1]

very true this song has deep meaning

love it all yay :)

[mentalitee]

real artist

[PHEOLA1]
