The Roots You Got Me (Me Tienes remix)

[Erykah Badu]:
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

[Black Thought]:
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 over seas on tour
And peep this Ethiopian queen from Philly takin� classes abroad
She�s studyin� film and photo, flash, focus, record
Says she�s workin� on a flick and could my click do the score
She says she loved my show at Paris at Elys�e Montmartre
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? You think that Thought went home and forgot?
Time passed, now we�re back in Philly and she up in my spot
Tellin� me the things I�m tellin� her is makin� her hot
Started buildin� with her constantly, �round the clock
Now she in my world like hip-hop
And keep tellin� me�

[Erykah Badu]:
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

[Black Thought]
Yo, I�m the type that�s always catchin� a flight
And sometimes I got to be out at the height of the night
That�s when she flip and get on some

[Eve]:
Another lonely night?
Seems like I�m on the side, you only lovin� your mic
I know you gotta get that paper daddy
Keep that shit tight
But I need some sort of love in my life
You dig me?
While politicin� with my sister from New York City
She say she know this ball player and he think I�m pretty
Sike,
I�m playin� boo
You know its just with you I�m stayin� boo
When cats be poppin� game I don�t hear what they sayin� boo
While you�re 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�re sweatin� on the stage, think of me when you rhyme
And don�t be listenin to your homies, they be leadin you blind

[Black Thought]:
So what you sayin I can trust you?

[Eve]:
Is you crazy, you my king, for real.

[Both]:
But sometimes relationships get ill. No doubt.

[Erykah Badu]:
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

[Black Thought]:
The snake could be that chick
And that rat could be that cool cat
That�s whisperin' �She tryin' to play you for the fool, Black�
If something�s on your chest then let it be known
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 back and fracture what�s intact
And they�ll forever be,
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
Listenin to their squaws and listenin to girlfriends
That�s exactly the point where they whole world ends
Lies come in and that�s where the drama begins
She like�

[Erykah Badu]:
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
