Erykah Badu - Master Teacher lyrics

Dreams, dreams dreams

I have longed to stay awake
A beautiful world I'm trying to find
A beautiful world I'm trying to find
A beautiful world I'm trying to find
I've been in search of myself
A beautiful world, a beautiful world
It's just too hard for me to find
Dreams, dreams
Said it's just too hard for me to find
Dreams, dreams
I am in the search of something new
A beautiful world I'm trying to find
Searchin', and me searching inside you
And that's for real
What if it was no niggas
Only master teachers? (Dreams, dreams)
I stay woke what if there was no niggas
Only master teachers? (Dreams, dreams)
I stay woke what if it was no niggas
Only master teachers now? (Dreams, dreams)
I stay woke what if there was no niggas
Only master teachers now? (Dreams, dreams)
I stay woke

Even if your baby ain't got
No money to support you, baby
I stay woke
Even when the preacher tell you some
Lies and cheatin' on your mama i stay woke
Even though you go through struggle and
Strife to keep a healthy life i stay woke
Everybody knows a black or white
There's creatures in every shape and size
I stay woke

Everybody (I stay woke)
Everybody stay (I stay woke)
Get everybody (I stay woke)
Everybody-body, baby
A beautiful world, a beautiful world
(Dreams, dreams)
A beautiful world, a beautiful world
(Dreams, dreams)
A beautiful world I'm trying to find
(Dreams, dreams)
A beautiful world I'm trying to find
(Dreams, dreams)
A beautiful world I'm trying to find
(Dreams, dreams)

I have longed to stay awake
A beautiful world I'm trying to find
(A beautiful world I'm trying to find)
See, I am in search of myself
(A beautiful world, I'm trying to find)
Oh, it's just too hard for me to find
(A beautiful world, a beautiful world)
Said it just too hard for me to find
(Dreams, dreams, dreams)
'Cause, I'm in the search of something new
(A beautiful world I'm trying to find)
Search inside me, searching inside you
And that's for trill

What if there was no niggas
Only master teachers? I stay woke
What if there was no niggas
Only master teacher? I stay woke
What if there was no niggas
Only master teachers now? I stay woke
What if there was no niggas
Only master teacher? I stay woke
No, what if there was no niggas
Only master teachers? I stay woke
What if there was no niggas
Only master teachers now? I stay woke

Teach us, teach us i stay woke
What if there was no niggas
Only master teachers now? I stay woke
What if there was master teachers
I stay woke what if there was no
Niggas only master teachers? I stay woke
Mm, hey i stay woke
One, two one, two, three, four

Baby's sleepy time to put her down now
I'll be standin' 'round 'Til the sun down

Congregation nod they head and say amen
The deacon fell asleep again and i stay woke
But, I stay woke i stay woke
I stay woke lovers holding hands
And falling deep in love and sleeping
Passing conversation ooh, I stay woke
I stay woke i stay woke
I stay woke i stay woke
Pretty rings and pretty thieves
With shiny lights and little
Pieces of tomorrow i stay woke
I stay woke i stay woke

Ooh ah, ooh ah (I stay woke)
Ooh ah, ooh ah (I stay woke)
Ooh ah, ooh ah (I stay)
Ooh ah, ooh ah (Ohh, I stay) ooh ah, ooh ah

Baby's sleepy time to put her down and
I'll be hangin' 'round
Until the sun down, hey
