@nickelwindow53 I think the song is pretty self explanatory and straightforward. but I believe it is about believing in yourself and not giving up no matter what happens, faith, self love, confidence. All of that :)
I get it! .. at 0:15 she's pretty much saying we all makes mistakes.. and that it's good to be intuned with yourself.. so that when you fall "off your track" your heart can guide you back..
Love You Miss Badu!
That's why she had to break it down.. Love The Whiz" spin.. Such a beautiful artist.. surprised it was free.... those lucky bastards...
@babykreap Lauryn is nothing like Erykah. She's in a class by herself . And so is Laryn. Trying to compare them is like comparing Miles Davis to T.S. Monk.
@babykreap loving lauryn and badu with the same power...but they are different... and doing their shit in the highest, deep way possible. Both are history..
@aurabalaura yep, erykah and lauryn are two completely different types of consciousness......erykah is more rooted around egypt and lauryn is more rooted around israel.....both of them are bright individuals that are commonly misunderstood.
but it would be unwise to say they are two of a kind, they are infact teaching the same knowledge from two different perspectives.
it is a motha-effin wig. no implications... black women can grow hair. dude had to be awake to type his statement (unless he'she got a medical condition). it is 2009. and ms badu is wonderful.
If I could do this all day beside church, I'd do it cause at least I know there isn't competitive mentalities in this. Just expression of your mind and reality.
thank you for this post!!! it brought flash backs of her being in detroit this year at the fox and man she is awesome seen her at chene park last year.. love her soo much thanks a bunch for the post! your the greatest!
I do love Erykah Badu and Jill Scoot however thats not her to the left. If you watch another one of Erykah's performances she uses this back up singer that resembles Jill Scott
That is Miss Keisha Jackson on Erykah's left and Nayrok on backup vocals to the left and back of Erykah,with China Black on the right...brilliant ladies in their own right:)
