More Everything
[Spoken: Erykah Badu + Roy Ayers]
Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen
Across space
Step right up and step off the train
The land before time
Welcome to Amerykah
All the freaks are here
All you have to do is make a promise
30 thousand millwatts of power baby
Radiating your souls
Sign right here, on the dotted line
C'mon getcha some free
Ladies and Gentlemen, before exiting the train
Please leave your valuables, diamonds, rubies and pearls
In the cabinet adjacent to the left
Um, the pussycats and the jackals you can leave them with me
I won't steal your gold
[Verse: Erykah Badu + Roy Ayers]
Promise to you baby, I'll love you tooth for tooth and eye for eye
Cause we take your history
And make it modern mystery
You see what I'm saying?
Welcome all
Promise to you baby, I'll love you tru and good till the day I die
Oh we love you (just sign right here)
We love to love you (Is it on hurt?)
Promise Promise Amerykhan promise
We love to suck you dry (Oh no, freedom's here)
Promise Promise Amerykhan promise
All the while, including your high(i just want some new lips, new hips C'mon)
Promise to you (money) baby, (sex) anything you want you know I'll buy
(it's the amerykahn dream, everyone has one, get one)
Promise to you baby, you will never have ask to me why
Excuse, Excuse me young lady, Excuse me
You're causing quite a distubance over here
I want everyone to see this
Promise Promise Amerykhan promise
(does this mean we'll never see Mu again?)
I think we're gonna have to make an example outta her
Rid me of her sight

Might be good for later, i might need that

Promise I'll love you good and give you the sky

I'll give you my eyes
I'll give you my ears
I'll give you my hands
I'll give you my lips
I'll give you my tongue
I'll give you my thighs
Damn near anything you want
Do you see how easy it is
You see what we can do with a little bit of work
And effort people?

I'll love you tooth for tooth and eye for eye
OH, you think i can get a new uh...(i promise) heart?
