Songtekst / Lyric
Like bandy bandy
wave ya body
like bandy bandy yeah
Ooh
Like bandy bandy
wave ya body
like bandy bandy yeah

When the day gets too long
when its so right now feel so wrong
Listen to what i say
See if you dont agree
Theres something i learned long ago
Down where the blu waters flow
Something people do to et their spirits free



In the morning time
in the afternoon
in the cool evening breeze


Like bandy bandy
wave ya body
like bandy bandy yeah
ooh
like bandy bandy
wave ya body
like bandy bandy yeah
ooh

Any time of the day
wave
Any place
wave
if u feelin down
wave-move ya body
like a bendy snake

if u feel the day
wave
anyplace that u happen to be
wave
if u feelin low
wave
just do what u need


int he morning time
in the afternoon
in the cool evening breeze

(2x)like bandy bandy
wave ya body
like bandy bandy yeah
ooh

(2x)Take the time
fill the day
fill the light
fill the day
fill the night take a breath
fill yourself full of light

until u feel your soul away

You got me - The Roots (feat. Erykah Badu)

Songtekst / Lyric
If you were worried 'bout where
I been or who I saw or
what club I went to with my homies
baby don't worry you know that you got me

Somebody told me that this planet was small
we use to live in the same building on the same floor
and never met before
until I'm overseas on tour
and peep this ethiopian queen from philly
taking classes abroad
she studying film and photo flash focus record
said she workin on a flick and
could my click do the score
she said she loved my show in paris
at Elysee Montmartre
and that I stepped off the stage
and took a piece of her heart
we knew from the start that
things fall apart, intentions shatter
she like that shit don't matter
when I get home get at her
through letter, phone, whatever
let's link, let's get together
shit you think not, think the Thought went home and forgot
time passed, we back in philly now she up in my spa
tellin me the things I'm tellin her is makin her hot
startin buildin with her constantly round the clock
now she in my world like hip-hop
and keep tellin me

If you were worried 'bout where
I been or who I saw or
what club I went to with my homies
baby don't worry you know that you got me

Yo, I'm the type that's always catchin a flight
and sometimes I gotta be out at the height of the night
and that's when she flip and get on some 'ol


Another lonely night
seems like I'm on the side you only loving your mic
I know you gotta get that paper daddy keep that shit tight
but yo I need some sort of love in my life, you dig me
while politicin with my sister from new york city
she said she know this ball player and he think I'm pretty
Psych, I'm playin boo, you know it's just wit you I'm stayin boo
and when cats be poppin game I don't hear what they sayin boo
when you out there in the world, I'm still your girl
with all my classes I don't have the time for life's thrills
so when you sweatin on stage think of me when you rhyme
and don't be listenin to your homies they be leavin you blind

Yeah, so what you sayin I can trust you?
Is you crazy, you my king for real
But sometimes relationships get ill
No doubt

If you were worried 'bout where
I been or who I saw or
what club I went to with my homies
baby don't worry you know that you got me

Thet snake could be that chick
and that rat could be that cool cat
that's whispering "she tryin to play you for the fool Black"
if something's on your chest then let it be known
see I'm not your every five minutes all on the phone
and on the topic of trust, it's just a matter of fact
that people bite back and fracture what's intact
and they'll forever be I ain't on some "oh I'm a celebrity"
I deal with the real so if it's artificial let it be
I've seen people caught in love like whirlwinds
listening to they squads and listening to girlfriends
that's exactly the point where they whole world ends
lies come in, that's where that drama begins, she like

Erykah Badu - Ye Yo (sometimes)

Songtekst / Lyric
Ye yo, ye yo, ye yo, ye yo
(Help me)
Ye yo, ye yo, ye yo, ye yo...


Sometimes
Sometimes I get so lonely, lonely, lonely
I feel all by myself up here
Thats when, I take a minute
To reavalue things
All of the things I think are special yeah-hah

Ooo like
When you wake up in the morning
And you see the morning sun
And then you need to know the world is on your side
Who do you run to?
Who can you turn to?

Then the evening comes to greet you
You need, you need someone to hold you close
And then you feel the need to rest your ache in mine
Who can you run to?
Who can you turn to?

Well see the suns in the east and the moon reflects
Like the knowledge and wisdom I manifest
If you wanna go to heaven lay upon my breast
I'm Ye Ye
Your Ye Ye

I said the suns in the east and the moon reflects
Like the knowledge and wisdom I manifest
if you wanna go to heaven lay upon my breast
I'm Ye Ye
Your Ye Ye (ye ye-eee)

Ye Yo, Ye Yo
Help me
Ye Yo, Ye Yo
Come on yall
Ye Yo, Ye Yo

Sometimes...
I don't love you anymore
I'm in love with you
I think that I'm going mad
I do
well

Meanwhile...
You been runnin' through my dome
Won't leave me alone
Ooh chile...
Why it got to be this way
gone on!

Can you tell me where, oh where
Oh where, oh where?
WHERE DID THE LOVE GO

Sometimes...
I think that you're draining me
I want you at home
I feel like forgiving you
I don't

Meanwhile...
I cannot blame you, my love
I'm sitting here alone
Ooh chile...
This love affair ain't what it was
gone on
Can you tell me where, oh where
Oh where, where?
WHERE DID THE LOVE GO
