  • If you listening to this song..u can figure what she talking about or who shes talking bout..BLACK PEOPLE!..thats how we live, thats how the masses are brain washed..sad ,but we gotta wake up...shyt is too deep to ah mean ass beat!

  • but i.....

    

  • they end up in blood.....

  • Was that first part, with the violence and men talking the U.S. military?

  • Do not let man lead you astray. No man can deliver you to the Creator, the Healer, Protector, the Divine. We already are of the One, essentially and eternally. When you let go of religion, ironically that is when you will achieve the greatest connection.

  • @loversarelunatics true story

  • I Love it!

  • I LOVE THIS WOMAN SHE IS AN INSANE GENIUS !!!!!!

  • fantastic but why is the end part cut off>? that's some powerful stuff

  • Erykah's words have helped me get through some of the roughest times of my life. Truth and light will always shine through when you are awake, despite where you may be.

  • Peace To The Gods!!!! Love Erykah!!!! Peace!!!!

  • In order to understand her you must open your mind and forget everything you were taught! God is TRUTH Religion is the DIVIDER!

  • @Aphropik fucking hippie :P

  • hotep! bring the message to the youth sister erykah continue the work of the master teacher through your new music and sound.

  • She is warning us, not emphasizing it. She speaks of the issue. But very subtlely.

  • @SEEDOFABRAHAM ...thanks for the heads up?

  • @SEEDOFABRAHAM lmbo! You are truly delusional and yourself brainwashed...Of Beyonce and Rhianna and all those witches you chose to assassinate Erykah's character? Are you serious...Shepard? Choose a Shepard? Really? How about you CHOOSE to be a sheep...and what are they for exactly? THE SLAUGHTER YOU DUMB FUCK! I love this sister because she promotes freedom of mind, body, SOUL and SPIRIT! I AM MY GODDESS! I share this universe with co-gods and goddess...we are all gods and goddess...

  • This is anti-Christ at it's worse......two thumbs down.

  • @SEEDOFABRAHAM Anti-Christ perhaps. But this song is probably the most PRO GOD song I've EVER HEARD. You know what cracks me the hell up. When CHRISTIANS say not to follow false idols. Hello Christ was HUMAN. That's as false an idol as any. She's talking about people like you in this song. Listen up.

  • @lecifbaby Christ was not human tho it did come trough human form to enlighten other pyhsical beings. When most christains talk about worshiping false idols they speak of THINGS not spirits. BUT none the less this is a good song. Definite stimulator.

  • @SEEDOFABRAHAM And that is what I'm going to give you to your comment: two thumbs down! I mean come on! Where is the religious tolerance? If somebody is not christian than they follow Satan automatically? Do you want to crucify her or burn her too like they did in the middle ages?

  • the language interested me alot, it did sound familiar. like as if from a long time ago lol. wake up people, its good to have a religion but dont become blinded by it. if anything simply love GOD you dont need religion to love GOD

  • @joshua19taylor, It is Christ who was the light of the world that came to this dark world to suffer and die for the remission of our sins, as He layed down His very life for us so that we could resurrect with Him and live eternally with God, as the Holy and Sacred scriptures declare. Those who reject and refuse this Absolute truth are the ones who are blind. Not religion, but RELATIONSHIP. It was the religious people who said, "Crucify Him!" I was blind and now I can see.

  • @SEEDOFABRAHAM AMEN!!!!!!

  • @joshua19taylor so well put! 

  • ORL is not credited except for in the fine writing on the album ;o

  • the end quote is from the movie 'Network' - it's the mad as hell quote

  • What is the guy saying at the end???? I know it's the language of Kemet, but don't know what he's saying. Help!!

  • The language sounds like Ancient Kamitic (Egyptian). That wasn't hard to figure out since i've been studying the language as written in our alphabet and have been working on practicing pronouncing what I see. I've heard others speak it similarly. some words in the chant, i can readily identify like "ma'at" and "heru" for example

  • BLACK GODFATHER THE MOVIE

  • What is the name of the movie at the beginning?

  • A work of art....definitely have to put in the collection!!!! thanks for real music Erykah

  • Brilliant!

  • AmERYKAH. Cool.

  • i was searching for this song and came upon a funny comment on a christian message board...

    "then a man begins speaking in another language. During his speaking/chanting, my spirit curled up inside of me and begged me to turn it off. There was something inherently strange about the unknown chanting that I didn't believe was edifying to my spirit. this ruined the album for me."

    lol

    THEY DON"T KNOW THEIR LANGUAGE...

    tell em erykah

  • Comment removed

  • @stylemasterrr Why am I not surprised? LMFAO! They are such...interesting...people. Erykah was definitely right. Ironically, when I heard that part, my body and spirit instantly felt familiarity with it. I actually love that part.

  • @BreezyGraffiti yeah when i first heard that chant about a two yrs ago, i felt the same way tht christain did. although i was searchin for truth at the time, i wasnt IN TRUTH. so i wasnt ready to hear the chant. however now, i kinda feel how you do, its not like i necessarily understand it, but i know the message under the chant. its a cry to the poeple. i love tht prt too

  • and did you know it was collaborated by Omar R from the Mars Volta????? fck yeah, Even erykah Knows was up with this amazing band... I love it, and I have that much greater respect for her musical inclinations... she is it!

  • MA'AT!!!!!!!

  • anybody kno where i can get this instrumental!!! HELP.. PLEASE CHECKOUT MY MUSIC THANKS.

  • I agree E is an amazing artist and She inspires All of Us to reach beyond the infinite skies. Now is the time we pass on the torch of ACTUAL music. I'm not gonna let my kids (still to come) listen to this bubblegumcrapmusic, cause We'll raise the bar. We pretend to be evolved, but truth is we haven't been born yet. We act as if the music industry is the boogieman, but instead let us look under the bed & closet to show our kids that ones we put on the Light in Us truth prevails ~ Love2All ~

  • dope...DOPE...FUK ALL THESE BULLSHYT ARTIST WHO PUTTING OUT THIS BULLSHYT...call it what you want damn near hardly no artist can come close to Erykah Badu. in a class of her own...these other cats need to at least step they game up...she's setting the standard almost too high for anyone to reach. it's just sad that our children might not get a chance to realize this like we "8o's babies" did listening old albums.

  • @lanigirod So, I guess you're gonna tell me that Erykah isn't Neo-Soul either huh? Even though she calls herself NEO-SOUL her damn self!! Hahahahaha!! Yeah, Badu is sick.....and ahead of her time! 

  • I'm virgo hangin out wit them venus bitches but my virginitys been gone now

  • i love this it's muh shit

  • Listen to the song "Trumpets and Violins, Violins" by Axiom Funk. The part in the end will make sense.

  • is it "decedents"? or "descendants"? i think it's "descendants", and "decedents" is a typo. i see it all over the net. i think the typo was in the actual album cover.

  • @HammerkopLady I think it's descendants, but a decedent is a deceased person. A descendant is a blood relative in the direct line of descent with the decedent person.

  • some real shit! i loveeee this...

  • Creepy-ass song

  • whose speech was in the outro

    he's great

  • @antsorter it is an extract from the movie "Network".

  • @antsorter It's from a film titled "Network" a film made in 1976. I'm sure it's on youtube if you search it!

  • @maszlagma well now i have another movie i need to watch

    thanks man (:

  • can someone please explain the meaning to this song, I understand the first verse and thats it

  • @queenray1 look up,kemetnu6240!

  • @queenray1 I can help you a little...look up "children of the matrix"

  • @queenray1

    Besides the answers that have been presented, I think the lyrics can be interpreted as a critque of modern society, especially the conduct and values of the working class, that continue to let themselves be decieved, enslaved etc through what they percieve as their own choices. Choices, values etc put forth by a ruling elite. Wether this elite is alien, human or not is not very important. The message is to look at whats going on and free your mind. Learn critical theory.

    

  • @Usernamn10 I appreciate your view however after to listening to this song again and again, she says "they end up in prisons, they end up in blood" this could hardly be the working class, she also uses the work undeducated and depressed, "they say thier grandmothers and grandfathers work for nothing cuz they still in this ghetto", therefore the conclusion would end up as those who stay in ignorance and allow their enviroment to determine who they will be

  • @Usernamn10 Very Well Said!

  • I can't wait to see her and jill so excited for their tour coming up

  • @nikknikk19 What!! I didn't know they were touring together. I heard about Erykah Badu. OMG that would be AWESOME as hell if I could see Erykah and Jill in one show.....WOOOOW!!!

  • fuckin trippy yo!

  • "Started with a rhyme from old ancient times

    decedents of warlocks, witches with ill glitches

    children of the matrix be hittin' them car switches

    seen some virgin virgos hanging out with venus bitches"

  • wow she never seems to amaze me

  • @EmpressDinah12 i do not know what this part means can you please tell me ?!!!!

  • @BUandWonderful to tell you the honest truth idk Erykah will be the best person to tell you the message she was trying to express in her song. I can make assumptions but at the end of the day my assumptions and opinions won't matter because i didn't write the song.

  • @EmpressDinah12 I think you can get a clear view of what she is saying. Erykah has a kind of style that is too complex for some people. She is a whole new level of mystic, but all of her songs have messeges that you will only understand if you truly pay attention. I love Erykah!

  • this my fav track off the album, the beat is soo unusual

  • "The arrivals" series on youtube watch it its great. You will know what Erykah is talking about.

  • I agree with guitaoist, Omar did a very nice job with this track. It meshed well with his musical style. These 2 should definitely do another collaboration.

  • is it a new cd from Misses BADU ????????

  • yup

  • 0:15 fits in so well with the song. what is this! LOL

  • After the song ends at 4.19 with the woman speaking in some sort of ancient tongue, what language is that?

  • @gmonee it's the Medu Neter

  • Thanks. gonna look it up

  • i love 5:22 of the song .. i sumtime jus repeat tht part over and over . reson it the truth !! even tho this vid didnt play it all

  • She use 2 be an 5%er.. Now she is into Right Knowledge.. The Science of Nuwaubu she never mention that she is a 5%er in New Amerykah.. Look up Nuwaubian 2 get a better overstanding of what she is into.. She is not into faith and belief which is Religion.. She is going back 2 our Ancient Khemetic Mysteries.. All about Facts and Truth... Hotep

  • at the end is that frm the book of dead?

  • at the very end?

    from 'the network'

  • @3lank what is the network?

  • The Network is a movie

    its about the deception involved in media, centered around a news network

    pretty hard to find, but its a great film

  • agreed

    IM MAD AS HELL AND IM NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMOOOE!!!

  • @tefnutthegoddess ok thnxs

  • It's superficial and simplistic to think that a person who might be deceived is intentionally evil. I don't think that the 5%ers have evil intent, just wrong philosophy. In our zeal to begin the healing process from our holocaust in this country we embrace lots ideologies that in the long run could be detrimental. example: some may embrace voo doo(D'anjelo) as just an alternative religion because it's connected to our heritage, but it will lead to spiritual bondage and ultimately destruction.

  • she's a 5%er, she said it in essence magazine. you can't argue w/ that.

  • Hey good sista,- one of the misperceptions about Christianity is that it's the white man's religion. Ultimately race doesn't matter but for the record Jesus or Yeshua was a man of african descent.- All of the early depictions and descriptions of Yeshua was of a man from a tribe that would be called either Ethiopian or of Somalian descent. Paul in scripture is described as an egyptian. Mystic/occult beliefs sound deep and romantic but the ultimate price is one's sanity. Go with Jesus be free!!!

  • I thought the egyptians gave the europeans and greek religion. So, wouldn't that kind of make it black people's religion? All they did was change the symbols, names, and so forth to fit their view of jesus, right? So, it isn't really the white man's religion. I'm a firm believer in god (christianity) however; I do know the truth, so I'm wondering if i'm being hypocritical?

  • No she is a Nuwaubian. Right knowledge, Right overstanding str8 up Facts and Truth.. Not faith and belief..

  • she into right knowledge but i wouldnt call her nuwaubian. who CARES what she is!? why people try to box her, she is a beautiful spiritual being. period.

  • This is my favourite bestest song ever.....

  • lol, da beat is ridiculouuuuus, I wouldnt know where to start a song on this ;*

    Check out my site PURPLEPILLBABIES

    for SubTlE EcLeCtiC, UrBaN RoCkStAr WeAr ;*

  • omar rodriguez really helped out with this track

    glad the sound of the mars volta can blend with alot of types of music

  • " I am the infinite blackness, the infinite brightness, the all Awareness, forever establishing the field of truth and reeds, through unifying the two worlds...."

  • luv the muzik! but someone PLEASE explain the ending! what is he saying? what is he speaking? why is it on here? it really freaked me out the 1st time i heard it!

  • "We the brightest light born from the deepest black children of the Divine Mother Father, true right and exact. Opening the way. Shining ones open the way, listen to these Divine words I say". "I am the infinite blackness, the infini...te brightness the all awareness forever establishing the field of truth and reeds through unifyng the two worlds"

  • Yeah, I found the translation soon after i posted this... loving it even more! She's 1 of my fav's, No one does it like her!

  • @Jb0r0 Check out Georgia Anne Muldrow!! She's like this to the 100th power.

  • I didn't understand at first eirther. i just found out though and i'll share it with you.

    " we the brightest light, born from the deepest black, children of the divine mother father, true right and exact, opening the way shining ones, open the way, listen to these divine words i say"

  • she's a 5% if you don't understand that, then basically you have no understandin in her music..she references 5% er in all her music..and they are in no way affliated w/ any santantic cult, symbols, or anything like that..alot of ppl don't understand her, cause they don't know her beliefs

  • A belief system does not have to be overtly satanic to be influenced by satanic forces. I'm aware of many instances of people being involved in yoga and trance channeling and various forms of meditation that have had all kinds of emotional psychological(psychic) and spiritually depressed issues etc... Like it or not,  evil does exist and is deceptive by nature.

  • ok, I get what your saying, but 5%er's aren't based or influenced by santanic forces.lol. they're based on love, and nation of gods of and earth.

  • they dont know there language they dont yhere god ....... peace (i love this song

  • <3 Omar Rodriguez-Lopez <3

  • Hot Track of "09"

  • you mean "08"

  • Erykah...strong, sexy and yummy! Love ya girl! Saw you in Houston!!  I CAN"T BELIEVE YOU CUT OFF THE END JUST AS I WAS GETTIN INTO IT!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
