Badu Lyrics by Novocation

Suburbia

2019

[Verse 1: Samson]
I see you looking at me different, cos I’m standing on the precipice
Not staring down at past decisions, or what you other bitches said of us
But I’ve been down on myself lately, and I’d rather that you didn’t get involved
You just broke me like you made me, how the hell we meant to get along
Listening to Erykah Badu, somehow end up thinking about you, about you, about you
Saw you out last night you were fronting, acting like you want me for one thing we touch I feel nothing

[Chorus: Samson]
You make me crazy
That just pains me
The words evade me
I can’t explain it

[Verse 2: Keato]
I though I knew who I was just a year ago
Same reflection when I’m looking in that mirror tho
I got advice, I’d never sit and listen so
I’m getting quiet, alone what’s the dealio
Reboot that system say something I’ll listen
I’m keeping my distance from poisonous victims
Sometimes that’s myself, I’m taking shit for granted like the cards I was dealt
Born into health, security, family - that’s like king queen suited on the button without an ante
At the final table shit get’s twice as fatal and I now I can’t wait for my appraisal
This is knock and run with demons, don’t lock it up release it
Start screaming hold tight to the shit you believe in this evening
And hold it with pride, and hope it lasts for the rest of the night yeah

[Chorus: Samson]
You make me crazy
That just pains me
The words evade me
I can’t explain it
You make me crazy
That just pains me
The words evade me
I can’t explain it
