Erykah Badu – Twinkle

[Knocking Sound]
[Unidentified Male Voices]
What are you doing?
Where you hit at?
In my face
Is there still someone out there?

[Verse One - Erykah Badu]
They don’t know their language
They don’t know their God
They take what their given
Even when it feels Odd
They say their grandfathers and grandmothers work hard for nothing
And we still in this ghetto
So they end up in prisons
They end up in blood

[Chorus - Erykah Badu]
They keep us uneducated,
Sick and depressed
(they end up in blood)
Doctor I’m addicted now
I’m under arrest
(they end up in blood)
We makin’ mo’ money than a muthaf**ka
(they end up in blood)
With no choices there’s no hope for us
(they end up in blood)

[Erykah Badu]
Started with a rhyme from old ancient times
Decedents of warlocks,
Witches with ill glitches
Children of the matrix be hittin’ them car switches
Seen some Virgin Virgos hanging out with Venus Bitches

[Erykah Badu]
Started with a rhyme from old ancient times
Decedents of warlocks,
Witches with ill glitches
Children of the matrix be hittin’ them car switches
Seen some Virgin Virgos hanging out with Venus Bitches

[Chorus - Erykah Badu]
Cause
They don’t know their language
They don’t know their God
They take what their given
Even when it feels Odd

[Erykah Badu]
They say their grandfathers and grandmothers work hard for nothing
And we still in this ghetto
So they end up in prisons
They end up in blood

They keep us uneducated, Sick and depressed

????????

[Unidentified Voice - Words]
I don’t have to tell you things aren’t good
Everybody knows things aren’t good
We know the air is unfit to breathe
And our food is unfit to eat
Young punks are running the street
And no one knows just what to do
And there’s no end to it (no end to it)
The dollar by the pennies worth
Is going under
Coppers keeping a gun under the counter
We sit watching our idiot boxes
While some local anchor man tells us that day we had 18 murders and 85 crimes as if that were the way things were suppose to be.
We knows times are bad
Worse than bad
People are crazy
Its like everything everywhere is going utterly mad so we never leave our homes
We sit in our ??? homes while the world is getting smaller
At least leave us alone in our family rooms and let me have my microwave…..
