What good do your words do? If they can't understand you
I'm 'bout ta give birth to church
She be the light when they in the dark
Remembering it is good if you don't
But when she loves she tends to cling
One swimmin' down livin' in a dream
The gold tooth smile, split them vowels
I remember when I went with momma to the Washateria
Say wait a minute, Queen, what's your name
Four constellations start forming
Rolling through like a burning flame
Bling bloom, bling, melinated
Badu in your stereo, holla if you hear me though
Like a super nova star
Don't go talkin' that shit Badu, Badu
Remember there in school one day
When incense burns, smoke unfurls
What good do your words do? If they can't understand you
What good do your words do? If they can't understand you
From the right brain ascension maintained
’Cause you did not do your math
What good do your words do? If they can't understand you
Across up in the sky
Well, well, I'm raising hell
Morning, the moon pass the sun
Analog girl in a digital world
My cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone
I be that gypsy flippin' life game
Don't go talkin' that shit Badu, Badu
Wake the fuck up 'cause it's been too long
Don't go talkin' that shit Badu, Badu
I learned I was inferior, water in my cereal
Two fish, one swimmin' up stream
The rasta style flower child
Said, I'm a Pisces zika deka del
Bridge
But everybody wanna ask me, why?
On and on, and on, and on
What good do your words do? If they can't understand you
But that's all I have ain't got no more
Remember how I felt the day, I first started my period
Things just ain't the same for singers
But everybody want to ask this earth, what?
What good do your words do? If they can't understand you
And I'm the envy of the women, and I rule the men
Gotta sing on the beat the bring us
Zip dip dow, zip dip dow
But still the people really wanna to know
Let it be the fear in you
Mad props to God Ja Born
Don't go talkin' that shit Badu, Badu
Don't go talkin' that shit Badu, Badu
People always tryin' to find the world I'm in
Wrap ya head with this material
