You Got Me

[Hook x2: 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

[Verse 1: 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 overseas on tour

And peeped this Ethiopian queen from Philly

Taking classes abroad

She studying film and photo, flash, focus, record

Said she working on a flick and

Could my clique do the score

She said she loved my show in Paris

At Elysee Montmartre

And that I stepped off the stage and took a piece of her heart

We knew from the start that

Things fall apart, intentions 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

Think the Thought went home and forgot

Time passed, we back in Philly now she up in my spot

Telling me the things I'm telling her is making her hot

Starting building with her constantly round the clock

Now she in my world like hip-hop

And keep telling me

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Black Thought]

I'm the type that's always catching a flight

And sometimes I gotta be out at the height of the night

And that's when she flip and get on some 'ol

[Eve]

Another lonely night

Seem like I'm on the side you only loving your mic

I know you gotta get that paper Daddy keep that shit tight

But yo I need some sort of love in my life, you dig me

While politicking with my sister from New York City

She said she know this ball player and he think I'm pretty

Psych, I'm playing boo

You know it's just wit you I'm staying boo

And when cats be popping game

I don't hear what they sayin boo

When you 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 sweating on stage think of me when you rhyme

And don't be listening to your homies, they be leaving you blind

[Black]

Yeah, so what you sayin I can trust you?

[Eve]

Is you crazy, you my king for real

[Both]

But sometimes relationships get ill

[Eve]

No doubt

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Black Thought]

That snake could be that chick and that rat could be that cool cat

That's whispering she trying to play you for the fool Black

If something's on your chest then let it be known

See I'm not at you 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've seen people caught in love like whirlwinds

Listening to they squads and listening to girlfriends

That's exactly the point where their whole world ends

Lies come in, that's where that drama begins

And she like

[Hook]
