The Roots, Erykah Badu, Eve - You Got Me lyrics

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

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 (Uh, huh)
Tellin' me the things I'm tellin'
Her is makin' her hot (Uh, huh)
Started buildin' with her
Constantly round-the-clock
Now she in my world like
Hip-Hop, they keep tellin' me
Tellin' me… yo!

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

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

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

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 that drama begins
And she like… yo!

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
