"Black Box" lyrics

[Erykah Badu:]
Black box
Black box
Black box
Black box

Too much dopamine can make a man mean
Dimethyltryptamine, make a man dream
Ozempic and promethazine, make a man lean
Mars' daddy jet-lagged, make a bitch real mean
Turn it into a meme, make a big scene
Broadcast it on the whole block, live from the black box
Phone call, liberation or entrapment?
Mercury in retrograde, at midnight all was well
But suddenly the box became engulfed with a beam of light
Somebody gettin' some pussy, tonight

Black box
Black box
Black box
Black box

Ayo, yeah
This black box need a black ox
This black box is crack rocks
Coded in COVID sponsored and holstered
Like checkin' the "yes" box on a love letter, they go together
Black box
Like Snoopy and Woodstock, they flew around
Never found black box when the plane went down
Ooh, codified in codeine
Them niggas famous now
Same niggas shamed us now
Black box, it's a dark place with no face
Thief in the night, no trace
Movin' too fast in a slow pace
Back in the past, it was no race
Back up that ass, shake it fast with no haste
'Cause you a fine motherfucker, wasn't you?
Yeah, haha
Black box can be a place of life and death
But outside in the air is where the portal is
Khadija and Harriet, on a golden chariot
Flyin' high nine [?] above the dipper
Awhile you greasin' clippers, pleasin' strippers
But if you need it quicker, weed and liquor
Live on TikTok, blasted on the black box

[Erykah Badu (Erykah Badu & Kamasi Washington):]
Black box (Sign, my baby)
Black box (Thirteen years)
Black box (Inside my head, save me, please)
Black Box (Just set me, set me free)
