Erykah EARTHGANG

[Intro: Johnny Venus & Erykah Badu]
Yeah (Hey)
First time I heard a Erykah Badu song, I was like, probably like six (Hey, oh)
I was riding around with my uncle on 285 on the west side, like (Oh, oh)
[?] over there by MLK, it was raining, it was pouring
And "On & On" came on the radio
And I was like, man, I ain't, I ain't never heard or felt nothing like this before (Hey)
This is my first introduction to like, what music could do to the body, for the spirit (Hey, oh, oh)
You know what I'm sayin'? (Oh)

[Verse 1: Johnny Venus]
I met a man outside Magic City
He asked me for some spare change I could give him
I said "I left that money in therе"
But the blessings evеrywhere done blessed him with the gift of forgiveness
Huh, and that Black Mamba strength to pivot
Eighty-one point performance to seal it
This that real rap shit, know you gon' feel it
In your Fat Belly Bella, the fire is kicking
I been in the spotlight long enough to know that
The real you is the best you, I suggest you show that
Never mind the shit you in right now, that's where you grow at
Build your houses next to the river where love flows at
Pain and depression is seeping and I can't let it though
Faith in the palm of my hands, hold on tight, don't let it go
Protect my peace and guide my heart to say just let me know
With all the madness I'm seein', shit seems impossible
Try humiliate me on the net, that shit sus
We all fightin' private battles, I suggest you chill, bro
I could never imagine being fifteen years old
Student cellphones capturing somebody attacking me
A healer's what Lufuno dreamt to be
An angel in the sky, now I pray her spirit's free
We can cook a formula for cryptocurrencies
But down here, it's hard to find a recipe for rest in peaces
