This track makes you just want to cruise through the neighborhood or just kick back on the front lawn on a Saturday during sunset with a nice cool glass of sweet ice tea...chillin...no trouble, just chillin with the homies and the fam.
"man i don't care what type of music you usually listen to, rap, heavy metal, pop, if you dont fucks with badu then i cant fucks wit you" Gotta second that. Ms. Badu all day long. She's either A) An Ancient that has found the fountain of Youth, B) A Martian, or (more logically) C) Just a really good human being that can relate to everyone, everywhere. She doesn't just make music- she makes medicine.
@@BeastNationXIV Truth bro. Just get more instrumentals like this gem and a good spliff along with that bubble bath, the rest of the world won't even matter.
After a very long stressful day at work i drive home and blast this song. This helps soo much i forget work so fast.. Badu is a legend the music is absolutely classic ❤❤

THERES JUST SOMETHING ABOUT THIS INSTRUMENTAL I HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT EVERYDAY
JUST MAKES ME FEEL SO GOOD
❤
This is my bubble bath music. And Don't Judge Me. LOL!
Ain't nobody gonna judge you when you have such good taste. This is too mellow for anyone to judge anyone.
@@BeastNationXIV Truth bro. Just get more instrumentals like this gem and a good spliff along with that bubble bath, the rest of the world won't even matter.
With soothing scented candles around you
@@CHICAGOWIND1981 Yes exactly
No judgement bro. This my smoke and brainstorm music! Ms Badu always came with the SMOOTH & SOULFUL
Still cruisin' to this in 2020, that bass line is 🔥...love this more than with the lyrics!!💕🎶

After a very long stressful day at work i drive home and blast this song. This helps soo much i forget work so fast.. Badu is a legend the music is absolutely classic ❤❤
I love me some Badu, and then to have the instrumentals is an A+, I love instrumentals, this is good riding around music !!
absolutely LOVE this track. I stayed listening to this song when I was pregnant with my daughter 4 years ago
Me too! Only it was almost 24 years ago when it came out for me. But it was good “nesting” music.
Oh wow! I also listened to this a lot while pregnant with my first child ❤️ . My son is 23 now 💪🏿
Hiii
❤️❤️
This piece right here, is just BEAUTIFULLY done. So pleasing to the ear.
My fave Badu record. This beat is therapeutic. I'm listening to it for self-care from now on 🍷🍾🥂
Badu always has the smoothest jazz instrumentals
this song man. this instrumental. everything.
This will always be a vibe 🤎
The Roots hooked this track up.
YESSIR!
Omg didn’t know they did this
@@witkneemenyon5612 under the direction of James Poyser AKA Uncle Jimmy

I fell in love with instrumental cuts the very first time I heard one. I still love them today
💗🔥🔥💗
Whatcha you gonna do when they come for you
Work ain't honest but it pays the bills
What we gonna do when they come for you
Gave me the life that I came to live
Do I really want my baby?
Brother tell me what to do?
I know you got to get your hustle on, so I pray
I understand the game sometimes
And I love him strong but
Whatcha you gonna do when they come for you
Work ain't honest but it pays the bills, yes it does
What we gonna do when they come for you
God I can't stand life withoutcha
Now, me and baby got this situation
See brother got this complex occupation
And it ain't that he don't have education
'Cause I was right there at his graduation
Now, I ain't sayin' that this life don't work
But it's me and baby that he hurts
Because I tell him right, he thinks I'm wrong
But I love him strong
He gave me the life that I came to live
Gave me the song that I came to give
Pressure on me but the seed is grown
I can't make it on my own
Summer came around and the flowers bloomed
He became the sun I became the moon
Precious gifts that we both received
Or could this be make believe
Whatcha you gonna do when they come for you
Work ain't honest but it pays the bills
What we gonna do when they come for you
Gave me the life that I came to live, yes you did
Don't worry baby
I know there's confusion
God's gonna see us through, yeah
Peace out to revolution, but we paid though
Don't you worry, keep your balance
(What you gonna do, What you gonna do)
The work ain't honest but it pays the bills
(Yes it does)
Don't you worry keep your balance
(Don't have to worry baby)
Gave me the life that I came to live
(Yes you did)
Don't you worry keep your balance
The work ain't honest but it pays the bills
Don't you worry keep your balance
You gave me the life that I came to live
Gave me the song that I came to give
Pressure on me
But the seed had grown
I can't make it on my own
Summer came around and the flowers bloomed
He became the sun I became the moon
Precious gifts that we both received
Or could this be make believe
Oh yeah
Badu is with you baby
We gon' make it, yeah
Me, you and the baby
You gonna do
Whatcha you gonna do
Go, yeah, baby, baby
Oh go on
See I ain't tryin' to bind your life
But I want you to do what's right
I'm your wife
Peace out to revolution
I know there's confusion
You gonna what you gotta do now
This is Perfect for background music!! Can really walk and think to this! Man, this piece really Walks well.

A better me I rather say
On rainy days she hold me close
And wipe the tears away
Oh how I miss her so
I wonder do she know...
AyeYay
The Roots and James Poyser came together in this one
"Red n blue might turn ya lights out. Good cop, bad cop."
Currensy
❤😊 Smooth
Individual CONTRIBUTER. I would love to compSheose music with her. is BRILLIANT.
still pretty great with it
This the typa switch up Kendrick needs after having a high bpm start, kinda like The Blacker The Berry
This is where the group moonchild got their inspiration from and Stevie Wonder.
That makes perfect sense because I definitely thought the lead singer sounded like Erykah Badu on certain songs...Moonchild is slept on, hopefully they stay that way too, music like that feels better when its not mainstream
Facts
Badu🖤
Dope
I would sure like to have all of your Erykah Badu Instrumentals on CD, so I could play it in my Car! These are nice! Is it at all possible? :)
Please can you create an instrumental for Hiatus Kaiyote's "Nakamarra", this is BRILLIANT!
this is the ACTUAL instrumental of the song...the poster did not create this lol. If the Nakamarra instro is out there then it may be on youtube somewhere
Petty killed this...GUMMY SOUL!!!
erykah badu is from dallas, tx
grande marshall thuggin shidd pt 2
feel it-
Still listening
if you speed it upto 1.75x it sounds like a track that would be on grand tourismo
the best part 4:40 .. is that a saxo or trompet ?
mastalive thought I was one of the few who loves that part.
Trumpet
This is late night Hollywood then Malibu crusin’ vibes!
shouts out to The Roots and james Poyser for this
Nah, this is so much better with the lyrics.
Please please can you make an instrumental for Green Eyes???
I'm thinking this was currency original beat but it's the queens , vibes all the way
I need a five string bass to learn this jam! It doesn't sound quite right on a four sting to me.
somethin bout the city just keeps callin my name. yesss, callin my name i can write a song to this
Work ain't honest, but it pays the bills...
OMG, play this song and listen to Bilal's for you at the same time!!!!!!
🌞
Not a big fan of Badu but have always liked her band.!!!!!!! (No offense just my preference)
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
