The Roots - You got me

[Chorus: Erykah Badu]

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

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


[Verse 1: Black Thought]

Somebody told me that this planet was small

We used to live in the same building on the same floor and never met before

Until I'm overseas on tour and peeped this Ethiopian queen from Philly takin' classes abroad

She studyin' film and photo, flash, focus, record

Said she workin' on a flick and could my clique do the score?

She said she loved my show in Paris at Élysée Montmartre

And that I stepped off the stage and took a piece of her heart

We knew from the start that things fall apart and tend to 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 spot

Tellin' me the things I'm tellin' her is makin' her hot

Started buildin' with her constantly, 'round the clock

Now she in my world like hip-hop, they keep tellin' me, tellin' me, yo


[Chorus: Erykah Badu]

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

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


[Verse 2: Black Thought, Eve, Black Thought & Eve]

Yo, I'm the type that's always catchin' a flight (Uh-huh)

And sometimes I got to be out at the height of the night

And that's when she flip and get on some old "Another lonely night?"

Seem like I'm on the side, you only lovin' 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 politickin' 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 with 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 leadin' 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


[Chorus: Erykah Badu]

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

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


[Verse 3: Black Thought]

That snake could be that chick and that rat could be that cool cat

That's whisperin', "She tryna play you for the fool, Black"

If something's on your chest, then let it be known (Right)

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 backs and fracture what's intact

And there'll forever be (Right), I ain't on some, "Oh, I'm a celebrity"

I deal with the real, so if it's artificial, let it be

I seen people caught in love like whirlwinds (Caught in love like whirlwinds)

Listenin' to they squads and listenin' to girlfriends (Right, they're listenin' to girlfriends)

That's exactly the point where they whole world ends

Lies come in, that's where the drama begins, and she like, yo


[Chorus: Erykah Badu]

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

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

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

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

If you were worried 'bout where

I been or who I saw or

What club I went to with my homies
