erykah badu - on & on (live) lyrics

[verse 1]
oh my, my, my
i’m feelin’ high
my money’s gone
i’m all alone
too much to see, the world keeps turnin’
oh what a day, what a day, what a day
peace and blessings manifest with every lesson learned
if your knowledge were your wealth then it would be well earned
if we were made in his image then call us by our names
most intellects do not believe in god but they fear us just the same

[chorus]
oh, on and on, and on and on
my cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone
oh, on and on, and on and on
all night ’til the break of dawn
i go on and on, and on and on
my cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone
oh lord, on and on, and on and on
gotdammit i’ma sing my song

[verse 2]
i was born underwater with three dollars and six dimes
yeah, you might laugh (why), ’cause you did not do your math
like one, two, three—d-mn, y’all feel that over there?
like one, two, three—y’all feel it over there?
like one, two, three—in the middle, y’all feel that?
like one, two, three—y’all feel that?
like one, two, three, ha, the world keeps turnin’
oh, what a day, what a day, what a day
the man that knows something knows that he knows nothing at all
does it seem colder in your summer time and hotter in your fall?
if we were made in his image then call us by our names
most intellects do not believe in god but they fear us just the same
somebody say…

[chorus]
on and on, and on and on
my cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone
oh lord, on and on, and on and on
all night ’til the vultures swarm
on…on…
my cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone
on…on…
mad props to the god jaborn

[bridge]
i…you’re feelin’ kind of hungry, ’cause my high is comin’ down
don’t feed me yours, ’cause your food does not endure
i think i need a cup of tea, the world keeps burnin’
oh, what a day…

[verse 3]
you rush into destruction ’cause you don’t have nothin’ left
the mothership can’t save you so your -ss is gon’ get left
if we were made in his image then call us by our names
most intellects do not believe in god but they fear us just the same
ah, come on…

[chorus]
on and on, and on and on
my cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone
i go on, on and on, on and on on on, why
’cause you did not do your math
oh lord, on and on, and on and on
my cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone
i go on, ha, on, on (and on and on)

[outro rap]
i think it’s time to take the jam deep into the hype
hardcore, cold hype in the mic
i just so happen to be, tough with a capital ‘t’
can’t no weak -ss trick mc keep up, up with me
hard on the mic, steadily smooth with rhyme
you could read about badu in your hip-hop time
and now i’m good to go since i’m up to par
yeah, i’m dope on a rope, they wanna play tug-of-war
jealousy appears between both your ears
’cause i’ve been doing this sh-t for years, ha
never going out wack, i’m a female mack
so saps get back while my dollars stack
potential fine, not conceited, but still hard to handle
got it up top, don’t watch the blank channel
got soul ’cause i’m funky, take a whiff of the jam
you’re on with the song, just say ‘thank you, ma’am’
