"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.
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.

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 ❤❤
done feeling dead scrolls and seashells while she smells of love as i tube through the mood and sooth those coos sweet lady think i could ease off those shoes maybe and caress your soul as i fade and she fades are shade remains everlasting casting off this half mask done masquerading as someone else when the truth is we make such beautiful music all thats left is to tune in to this union
Now this beat is pure beauty anybody that don't like this beat got issues this beat still holds weight till this day and it always will nothing but Heat 🔥🔥🔥
Love me my EB ❤️. It’s my dream to work with her someday. I’ve learned so much from her journey,, stuck to her guns , brought back Soul , and all while chose She, in the end. Just brilliant. Love it 💕
I used to be in love And yes it was amazing This girl I'm thinking of.. So live in syndication Beyond my pedigree 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
Many times I you walking up and down brain But I love you I really do Cant understand just how you make it But one thing I knw I count you This wholly world is one divine
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
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
Jeremy Meracle this comment was literally before anyones time, people were still sleep on kendrick. congrats for being there so long to support an amazing artists.

Fox Fine I love your comment.
Thank you :)
Say that. Medicine I do NOT mind taking.
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

Pass the blunt
Whatcha 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 you strong, but
What 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
God I can't stand life withoutcha
Now, me and baby got this situation
See brotha 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
Cause 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 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
Whatcha 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
Don't you worry I know there's confusion
God's gonna see us through
Peace out to revolution
But we paid though
Don't you worry, I know there's confusion
The work ain't honest but it pays the bills
Don't you worry
Gave me the life that I came to live
Don't you worry
The work ain't honest but it pays the bills
Don't you worry

I LOVE IT, SMOOTH JAZZY R&B SOUND"!! 🎶🎵🎼🎹🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧
Thank you Soulquarians
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
I swear 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Esse instrumental não é verde mas me faz esquecer os b.o 🎵 PESADO !!!
I am loving this
Individual CONTRIBUTER. I would love to compSheose music with her. is BRILLIANT.
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
shouts out to The Roots and james Poyser for this
True Love from my side!
This is late night Hollywood then Malibu crusin’ vibes!
Nah, this is so much better with the lyrics.
if you speed it upto 1.75x it sounds like a track that would be on grand tourismo

Work ain't honest, but it pays the bills...
Yeah!! Love ❤️ This!!!
OMG, play this song and listen to Bilal's for you at the same time!!!!!!

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? :)
Kendrick Lamar
Jeremy Meracle this comment was literally before anyones time, people were still sleep on kendrick. congrats for being there so long to support an amazing artists.
Nah dude
Jeremy. I'm impressed that you gave notice to kendrick since was still pretty new to the game. Hindsight for real hip hop. Peace out to revolution.
Comment: 7 years ago. The Kendrick track he's referencing "Kendrick Lamar": 2011 (9 years ago) Dope track. Very pre-GKMC. Peep bro.
somethin bout the city just keeps callin my name. yesss, callin my name i can write a song to this
Badu🖤
I'm thinking this was currency original beat but it's the queens , vibes all the way
still pretty great with it
This the typa switch up Kendrick needs after having a high bpm start, kinda like The Blacker The Berry
Still listening
❤😊 Smooth
Dope
Not a big fan of Badu but have always liked her band.!!!!!!! (No offense just my preference)
I feel like Chance The Rapper would be good on this beat. Big K.R.I.T killed this though.
Maybe I’ll see her next lifetime
My jam at work when me and my co worker do call lines
reminds me of roy ayers sunshine
I need a five string bass to learn this jam! It doesn't sound quite right on a four sting to me.
