I really like Erykah Badu and this is just me screwing around, thinking up lyrics that tell a story for no other reason than it’s fun.
To Ms. Badu In This Time Of Troubles
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
things seem to be falling apart
but you’re creative as fuck
something we need a lot
so come close as you can
lend me a hand
tell me your secrets or maybe not
we all need to hear your voice
here what you have to say
it won’t make things better
but you’ll maybe make us feel light as a feather
please Ms. Badu
do what you do with charm
please Ms. Badu
make us feel better
with your art
please Ms. Badu
charm us till the end
you’re our only friend
there’s nothing we can say
nothing we can do
that will make things change
but you’re our only hope to feel better
the end feels like its coming it’s true
but what can I say
I can only hope that’s not true
the truth is something greater
something wonderful as can be
something that makes us not want to flee
please Ms. Badu
do what you do with charm
please Ms. Badu
make us feel better
with your art
please Ms. Badu
charm us till the end
you’re our only friend
[bridge]
now what I have to ask
will we all run out of gas
our will we be stronger in the end
when we realize the strength of your whim
now try to listen to me close
we need you to delight
we’re all full of fright
we need your hope as much as possible
things are dark
things are dark
things are dark
