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 cocaine

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

Twenty-inch-rim-man with no land, her pussy gone numb the pain the same

Why same DNA strand

Yesterday

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 barrel

Po' man got his back to the door

Code white stands for trouble

Shots from the po-po (blah blah)
