"Echos" lyrics
Erykah Badu & The Alchemist Lyrics
"Echos"
Yeah, everybody
Red, yellow, black, white, or brown
Got a hundred grand on my space here
Got a partner, I got a big joker
Chill, name rocks, stick to the plan
Ah, if we can't agree on a God we pick
Mm, then, my God
Let's at least agree on this snare and kick
(Red, yellow, black, white, or brown)
Ah, if you can't love the one you with
Oh, then you ain't her guy
(Red, yellow, black, white, up brown)
Oh, John Lennon said
Women are the niggas of the world
(Red, yellow, black, white, up brown) yes, he did
So fellas, please watch how you treat your girl
'Cause the future looking odd these days
That's on Tyler, Frank, and Earl
Oh, 'cause after everything we all the same
(Red, yellow, black, white, or brown)
All under the same constitution, same pollution
(Red, yellow, black, white, or brown)
Same confusion, same institution
Same simulation, I don't really know
See, we used to be bound by blood
(Red, yellow, black, white, or brown)
But now we bound by love, yeah
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
Red, yellow, black, red, yellow, black
'Cause they didn't believe that we'd break the chains
That we could be programmed and we all the same
And we know the truth that you tried to separate us
But we are not no robots, so go and create your own soul
They didn't believe that we mighty, mighty
They didn't know we'd rise up from the fire like a phoenix
In the rubble and we found our own solution
There's an awful lot of cough syrup
That so many got real used to it
'Cause we more powerful than they ever figured we'd be
Rose up from dirt and cotton and we came up on our knees
No, reckless monsters, this ours today
I don't even want your money
Feed us medicine and bullshit
We walk around like zombies
But I'm through picking your cocktail
I'm through wiping your face
I'm through making excuses
I'm 'bout to take my place
You could try to erase my realness
You could try to erase my face
But I done told my babies
To rise up in my place
Ah, you can't stop us, Devil
Oh, my train is on schedule
Ah, you can't stop us, Devil
Ah, my train is on schedule
Ah, you can't stop us, Devil
Ooh, my train is on schedule
Ah, Big G of the chapter
My ancestors, thank you (yeah)
And I put that on Odessa
I put that on Rebecca
I put that on Viola
Vera, Dorothy, Marylyn, Sharon
And I put that shit on Tuesday
Put that on Ju-Ju, oh
Sherwood, Gwendolyn, Mary, Lawrence
Stewie, Mimi, 'Bama Lo'
Ah, tellin' you about my people
Ooh, I'm the one that they pray for (we built mounds on this earth)
You can't stop this train, uh (I'm the one that they pray for)
Oh, my train's on schedule (they been saving me, yeah)
Ooh, you can't stop us, Devil (but the roof on the door, so, uh)
My train's on schedule (pray for the world today 'cause)
You (you can't stop this train)
Y'all gon' need more ammo

Maxwell - "Welcome" I guess it never was
The way I thought it was
I say this only just because
You never came to love

Guess that's how the story goes

I will follow you into the sunrise under desert sky

Bilal - "Soul Sista" It's all in her eyes, you and me, words just disguise
All the things that you be
What is deep, it's deeper than sea

Won't go on unnoticed,...

To be so strong
I look into your eyes
