Story By Erykah Badu

Here I am Miss Badu
Not Big Sean but I Don't f**k With You
It's cause I'm from D the other D
But Detroit had a special place in my heart
Creative Deep Rooted Organic Cosmic
Fantastic Futuristic Ancient Musical
When I think of Detroit I think of these things
There's something in that dirty water
That just gives it its flavor
There is an invisible intelligence
That runs through the streets
Like an underground rooting system
Millions and billions of memories of atoms
Of all of the beautiful music that has been created there
And I have seen it evolve into thangs
Only felt in the heart I know this to he true
Thank You Berry Gordy for that little house
Thank You Stevie Wonder for always calling me
And reminding me that it is there
That thang
I always long to connect with it
When I lose my way musically
Thank You J Dilla for your peculiar- peculiar intelligence
Yeah Detroit just has a magic and I know it to be true
Not Big Sean but I Don't f**k With You
Live from Badu-bootron
To be a phenomenon
Detroit where the nubians grow
