the cell

Erykah Badu

Girl came through
The light skin honey
With the cinnamon smell
Girl was so enticing
Baby
Make a nigga choose hell
Momma hopped up on cocain
Daddy on space ships
With no brain
Sister gone numb
The pain the same
Why same DNA cell
She was turned out
On shine new things
(Diamond gold chains
diamond gold rings)
Center-fold spread
She trying to do things
See she be on
That cough syrup
In coke cans
20-inch-rim-man
With no land
Her pussy gone numb
The pain the same
Why same DNA strand
We're not well
We're not well
We can't tell
Brenda done
Died with no name
Nickel bag
Coke to the brain
Will they ever
Find the vaccine?
Shitty-damn-damn-baby-bang
Rich man
Got the double barrell
Po' man
Got his back to the door
Code white stands
For trouble
Shots from the po-po
