[Intro: Rick Ross & (Erykah Badu)]
You know I love this one
(Hey) Yeah
(Hey) Yeah
(Oh) Yeah (Oh) Let me explain (Oh)
[Verse 1: Rick Ross]
Shit kinda foul while I'm sitting in the aisle
People taking pictures of me like I'm going out of style
MacBook, Dre Beats, Southernplayalistic
Half a joint that I clipped smelled like the whole zipper
Anyhow, I begin to yawn, the human bong
Kick my clogs off and recline just like a don
Hat low, eyes closed, got my hoodie on
As we take off, I think back that all my niggas gone
From my window seat, the view, I gotta think I see tomorrow
Always been an owner of the watch you wanna borrow
Always with a woman that you followin' on Twitter
First class sold out, but I'm still a nigga
[Verse 2: Erykah Badu]
Presently I'm standing here right now
You're so demanding
Tell me what you want from me, concluding
Concentrating on my music, lover and my babies
Make me wanna ask the lady for a ticket outta town
[Chorus: Erykah Badu]
So can I get a window seat?
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a ticket outta town
To look around and a safe touch down
Can I get a window seat?
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a chance to fly
A chance to cry and a long bye-bye
[Bridge: Erykah Badu]
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh
But I need you to want me
And I need you to miss me
I, I need your attention, yes
I need you next me
Oh, I, I need someone to clap for me
I need your direction
Somebody say, come back
Come back, baby, come back
I want you to need me
Come back, come back, baby, come back
Need me
Come back, come back, baby, come back
Come back, come back, baby, come back
[Verse 2: Erykah Badu]
So, out my mind I'm tusslin'
Back and forth 'tween here and hustlin'
I don't wanna time travel no more
I wanna be here, I'm thinking
On this porch I'm rockin'
Back and forth like Lightnin' Hopkins
If anybody speak to Scotty, tell him, "beam me up"
[Chorus: Erykah Badu]
So can I get a window seat?
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a ticket outta town
To look around and a safe touch down
Can I get a window seat?
Don't want nobody next to me
See, I just want a chance to fly
A chance to cry and a long bye-bye
[Bridge: Erykah Badu]
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh
But I, I need you to miss me
And I need somebody come get me
Ooh, I, see, I need your attention, yes
And, I need your energy, yes, I do
Oh, I need, I need someone to clap for me
And, I need your direction
Somebody say, come back
Come back, baby, come back
I want you to need me
Come back, come back, baby, come back
Come back, come back, baby, come back
Come look for me
Come back, come back, baby, come back
[Chorus: Erykah Badu]
So can I get a window seat?
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a ticket outta town
To look around and a safe touch down
Whoa, oh, hey
I want a chance to fly
A chance to cry and a long bye-bye
You know I love this one
(Hey) Yeah
(Hey) Yeah
(Oh) Yeah (Oh) Let me explain (Oh)
