[strawberries404]

This is my favorite Badu song. I wonder why they don't play it on the radio anymore. They always playing Tyrone and I'll See You Next Lifetime, but not this one.

[KelferMookie]

@strawberries404 You gotta be from Atlanta? cause you are sooo right.. 107.5 plays Tyrone sooooo much to the point it's making me dislike the song...

[Slimpimp321]

[dvharris75]

That Sun and Moon stuff is from the teaching of the 5% Nation of Islam.

People dont even get what she talking about when she says that.

She is talking about the teachings of the 5% Nation.

[fagaret]

@dvharris75 5% Nation?? you meant Nation Of Gods And Earths right?

[puccayoyoo]

[and2108]

I Can Just Smoke A Joint To This And Just Relax.

[The7512]

EXTREME PROMOTIONS

[LP101A]

Yeah, she's on the other side of the game

and many find themselves with a partner who's involved with

a hustle that isn't right or will perhaps land the family in trouble

she needs to find a way out; will he go with her and get out?

They need to decide together and find a way to disappear

and come out the other side in one piece as a family

If he won't go then she has to find a way out on her own

It will help if she has friends somewhere else

that can help her start over where there are more...

[Jecire]

work aint honest but it pays the bills....

[GodsTouch12]

\song is deep as hell to

[GodsTouch12]

wheres my girl lol....love makin music

[leggybird100]

Love the story and the song....but until yesterday did not fully understand "he became the sun and I became the moon"....but now I do Smoggy and I will love you until they come for me with a sharpened implement

[PrincessLolita5000]

@leggybird100 that's beautiful

[MoviesTubeYou0675]

@nbastar40 Well, I'm glad you took the time to read it, even if you thought the story sounds weird as hell.

[SuperPhdiva]

A lot of people don't understand that sex is not intimacy. Intimacy is about a depth of spiritual and emotional connection. This song describes that so beautifully. Music has not lost its depth. You have to be willing to go deep for the music with depth. Its there ladies and gents. Erykah is proof of that.

[RasXcellent1]

'97 klazzic! on the chyll tip, takez me 2 anotha world!

[JFleet326]

how can anyone hit the dislike button on this timeless piece of art ? Baffled....

[MSOESSISTER1]

This is a jam yr & no one can sing it like Erykah...

[th3oceanBlu]

ok this is one of my working around the house jams

[RaineaTrenton]

I used to not know what she was talking bout now that I'm grown lawd this makes sense.....too real.

[princeiion]

this is what IM talkin bout.. = )

[TreyDobe]

this sounds so soothing, makes me feel good just listening to it

[cyblues]

Sublime.

[zayloc23]

why is it evrytime i listen to ha, i wana roll up some tree. She her lyrics are hella deep, and her beats are relaxin

[Damillia]

i know you gotta get yo hustle on so i prayed...

[Blkserpent1]

As for for staying up all night, holding each other, and listening to a CD, I say one thing. She had to be on her period.  };^D

[ShredGal]

@Blkserpent1 Maybe but I doubt it, it's called being intimate WITHOUT being intimate!

[sistir23]

TIMELESS

[omegalavender]

...i'm surprise i still know the lyrics...

[HippieNiecey]

Erykah kicked ass with song. Still sounds as good as it did back then. Love Eyrkah Badu. She can sing it.

[bossofalltime]

''He became the Sun, I became the Moon'' that is a stage of love that everyone should have the fortune of reaching

[mandem3000]

it aint make belief..

[jigarmanjay]

timeless soul! for the soul.

[mizpera]

i first heard this song wen i was three wit my daddy nd i still love it

[Samanthakins]

her words come from the source.. straight fom that place...

[JaCCRippa]

THIS IS SPIRITUAL!!! 

[Beaute1073]

He became the sun.. I became the moon. LOVE IT!!!

[gmholt2008]

Now this is what I call FlAvA!!! Soul music at it's best..

[THEMACK85]

Two people CLEARY cannot see the Otherside of the Game.

[Jauhne]

People need yo really listen to the message she is trying to portray in this song... It's deep! - WORK AINT HONEST BUT IT PAYS THE BILLS!

[tdtufyufuyfyufyufuy]

love this song

[MoviesTubeYou0675]

@lolwhyyoumadtho Haha! Look @ Eryka Badu's "Next Lifetime" @ slients08 on my comment 2 months ago. PEACE!

[jimmyjubejube]

@MoviesTubeYou0675 haha, good story. this music makes you think about other girls that you could have had a long time ago.

[skydoll24]

and i meant musically haha

[skydoll24]

my love for you erykah is strong...im glad there is one person in the world who helps me to keep on&on :)

[beautifulteaba]

ok so that 1 person has mistakingly clicked the wrong button he/she meant to hit the thumbs up button...its ok im sure they went back and thumbs this song up im sure of it lol....

[fellinlove1]

@mrmilmil ohhh that makes sense

[fellinlove1]

i always loved this song and video but I NEVER UNDERSTOOD wat she was talking about?

[Mrmilmil]

@fellinlove1 its about drugs

[arenelomax]

Timeless album.

[QueenyDaFirstLady]

Erykah Badu is so underestimated. This is song is one of the reasons why.

[moonsault2506123]

this song is very thought provoking!.

[mzpenny29]

the truth

[n2i2c2k2y]

Yo loving the track, and my nick name is Brown Sugar too lol

[Brownsugar391]

@n2i2c2k2y lol

[TheTalentScout100]

@n2i2c2k2y no it is not quit fucking lying

[n2i2c2k2y]

@TheTalentScout100 Wow, you really get aggressive over something that has nothing to do with you, and how do you know if its true or not, a partner who i used to have called me that, so dont get all up in my face, you dont know what context im talking about !

[MoviesTubeYou0675]

I first heard this song during my brief 2 week tour in Korea back in late 1997 where I met this young woman who was stationed in Korea. One night she invited me to her dorm room, and she played the entire CD when I was with her. We just held each other and occasionally kissed each other, but that was it. Then I went back to Hawai'i, and although we kept in touch here and there via postcards, we lost track of each other. This song stood out the most for me, and it will always remind me of her.

[Brownsugar391]

@MoviesTubeYou0675 ahh how sweet.... :)

[lolwhyyoumadtho]

@MoviesTubeYou0675 lol you never tapped that.

fail.

[msyannafresh]

@MoviesTubeYou0675 thats so special

[das2190]

@MoviesTubeYou0675 awwww ;)

[sebske]

@MoviesTubeYou0675 But u didnt fuck her?

[MoviesTubeYou0675]

@sebske Oh, man!

[XXAK57XX]

@MoviesTubeYou0675 Smh thats real touchin and all man but...you know you should have hit that right?

[MoviesTubeYou0675]

@XXAK57XX Yeah, well that's how it goes. Sometimes we, as men, have to be a gentleman, too.

[and2108]

@MoviesTubeYou0675 Thats Real Bro!!

[MoviesTubeYou0675]

@and2108 Thanks. People sometimes ask if I done more, but you know, that's not the deal here. I've had my share of one night stands, but this was something different. The mellow-ness of BADUIZM made it more sensual rather than sexual when I was w/ her. It just made me value and appreciate her as a woman.

[and2108]

@MoviesTubeYou0675 Man, Youre Preachin To The Choir Bro!!! Thats How Its Suppose To Be! More Sensual Than Sexual!!

[melani411]

@MoviesTubeYou0675 well, u know with facebook, google, im sure u could find her again, that is if u dont have someone else now...lol

[Carnesha89]

@MoviesTubeYou0675 u should try to find her

[Carnesha89]

@MoviesTubeYou0675 u should try to find her

[thisismusic38]

I'm hoping this song will remain significant 20 years from now.

[Brownsugar391]

@thisismusic38 I think it will, there will always be a person who will think the illegal activities is the way to the good life....

[SuperSexwolf]

I was about seven or eight when I first heard this. I fell in love with this song ever since. Nothing but the good times....

[gurmz820]

like honestly, who is that one person who disliked this???

[Dustinluva07]

@gurmz820 a damn fool with no great taste.

[thisismusic38]

@gurmz820 Obviously one with no soul.

[KaoriDavis]

I just turned eighteen a couple months ago and I love and appreciate music like this. I don't much agree with the music of my time. So belligerent and pointless in my opinion but music does reflect the culture we live in, so maybe that's saying something about our culture. Anyway, I love Badu!

[minikiwi1206]

@KaoriDavis I'm also almost 18.And I agree with everything what you are saying.What we can see in these times is a progressive lack of deepness and meaning in music.And in the lyrics,overall.

[ShayDaGreenQueen]

I unfortunatly know exactly how she feels.

[hardnphirm87]

Sista.... I really feel in touch with you on this one. Ms. Badu, MaD LoVE and ReSpECT

[fattyphat69]

I swear this is my life right now and this song is givin me much needed strengh!

[jarbon5]

Love this song so much, but the bridge is something else! Love the background vocals featured there:)

[situationofchaos]

Erykah Badu or Janaelle Monae?

[lia36ph]

@situationofchaos erykah of course

[Brownsugar391]

@situationofchaos Erykah of course....

[ssaleem92]

@Brownsugar391 why not both? both are extraordinarily talented! i do love erykah more but Monae has so much potential, really dig her voice.

[PhillyRoja]

@situationofchaos Both, two totally different but similar artist!!!

[KelferMookie]

@situationofchaos what kind of fucking question is that? 

[unique9007]

@situationofchaos erykah hands down

[adragonx1]

@situationofchaos both

[Ampheromine]

@situationofchaos Lol. Wow.

[doncakes27]

A hustler is a person that has an unorthodox way of supporting them-self.

[lilmacky1979]

@doncakes27 nobody asked you to fuck up the meaning of the song....

[lia36ph]

on her live cd it sounds b etter to me

[hhsgrad1988]

I felt this song go through me!

[britbby456]

this my spit lol

[Kimmyisblessed1]

I'm living on the other side of the game now! All I can say is, God is going to see us through this! I can't wait to you come home baby!

[fattyphat69]

@Kimmyisblessed1 Im So With You Kimmy! Im In The Same Situation!

[signhere18]

she makes me feel like iam in heaven an at peace with my self love u girl

[TheLeopardprintdiva]

This is the BEST song...SO DEEP!

[fal2grace]

love it. thanks

[gmholt2008]

spoken words at its best! (work aint honest but it pays the bills)! ohhweee

[Aco3187]

Boy did wear this song out!

[clynchbuck91]

The ladies put out some hard albums in the 90's Mary j. blige- my life, faith evans-faith, lil' kim- hard core, etc

[omotayomarlena]

beautiful

[jazminfrear]

this is my FAVORITE song by her! I listen to it at least once a day! She is unstoppable and I am definitely getting her new cd!!! i love you erykah :)

[4jiggaman]

Earth at its finest right there. Other side of the game goes deeper than just the name of this track.

[fsumpter]

Listening to this now just puts me back to '96 or '97 when it 1st came out. This cd use to be in heavy rotation in my family.

[stillwaters722]

@fsumpter me too, I played the s.h.i.t. outta this, for real--still is the s.h.i.t. too

[fsumpter]

@stillwaters722, I agree.

[br0nxchick91]

Favorite song by her.. This woman deserves to be recognizes 4 real... I dont understand how these horrible singers(beyonce, ashanti, alicia keys etc..) are winning grammys like crazy. I luv erykah and we need to hear more from her....

[Spectra134]

I know, seems like mainstream singers rush they songs to radio/ mass market.

EB is a unique singer, her songs only are enjoyed by few that understand her style.

Her songs are great, can no body take that away from her.

[br0nxchick91]

Yes i agree. I thought i was the only one who realize that. It is gettin me so angry how she has these incredible songs and isnt notice for it.... I hate how these stupid female that makes dumb song and winning like 762535 grammys. I am not a hater but is just tellin the truth.

[tigga2425]

@br0nxchick91 agreed. My momma brought me up on good music (this, jill scott ect.) this is from tha soul and music doesnt really have it anymore.

[dhopxo]

shes amazing but beyonce ashanti and alicia are not horrible by any means.. dumbass

[AT6r20]

Any fan of real music can recognize this woman as an instant diva her musics rhythm and the issues she chooses to express and more importantly the way she expresses them makes her somethin REAL wat happened to the good shit nation

[DumemiruMetallic]

Her music just gets you in the mood.

[purplebugswhat]

Real talk.

[taelue]

Damn I adore this track so much. Was always my favorite on the album. 4:36 till the end is just amazing The Horn interlude that bassline with her voice and damn..Ethereal.

[DPJenn]

a never-ending classic!...go erykah*

[krysrieon]

I love!!! this song it is my favorite one!!

[mylast1stkiss]

her, jill scott, and india aire always has a way with words....deep

[DarkChild89]

i completely agree with you...all 3 are incredible women.

[mylast1stkiss]

yea i know. them sistas make you feel some kinna way

[oreoprincess39]

@mylast1stkiss don't forget lauryn hill and floetry

[hardnphirm87]

@oreoprincess39 what you said and how you said it. ALL OF WHO you and she listed Plus D'Angelo, Common and a few others Handles the BUSINESS....

[portnoy2045]

what is a hustler?
