Love Of My Life (An Ode To Hip Hop) Lyrics By Erykah Badu Featuring Common

    right here what we gone do is go back
    way back ooh
    way back yeah

    erykah badu
    i met him when i was a
    a little girl he gave me
    he gave me poetry
    he was my first
    but in my heart i knew i
    wasn’t the only one
    ’cause when the tables turned
    he had to break but

    prehook
    whenever i got lonely
    or needed some advice
    he gave me his shoulder
    his words were very nice
    but that is all behind me
    ’cause now there is no other
    my love is his and his is mine
    a friend became the

    hook
    love of my life
    you are my friend
    love of my life
    i can depend
    love of my life
    without you baby
    it feels like i sampled true love
    but the shit didnt clear

    interlude common
    a freakfreak y’all and ya don’t stop
    a to the beat y’all and ya don’t stop
    a freakfreak

    erykah badu
    or could it be that it was
    all just so simple then
    a teenage love but you said
    he’s just a friend
    he moved around and we kept
    in touch through his friend mike
    the world was young and we knew
    we couldn’t rush but

    prehook
    whenever i got lonely
    or needed some advice
    he gave me his shoulder
    his words were very nice
    but that is all behind me
    ’cause now there is no other
    my love is his and his is mine
    a friend became the

    hook
    love of my life
    you are my friend
    love of my life
    on you i can depend yeah yeah
    love of my life
    without you baby
    it feels like i sampled true love
    but the shit didnt clear

    common
    y’all know how i met her
    we broke up and got back together
    to get her back i had to sweat her
    thought she’d roll with bad boys forever in many ways
    them boys may be better to grow i had to let her
    she needed cheddar and i understood that
    looking for cheese that don’t make her a hoodrat
    in fact she’s a queen to me her light beams on me
    i love it when she sings to me
    it’s like that and a

    hook
    love of my life
    ooh you know you rock my world and
    love of my life
    you bboy and i’m bgirl’n
    love of my life
    it don’t stop until the break of dawn ooh

    love of my life
    ooh you know you rock my world and
    love of my life
    you bboy and i’m bgirl’n
    love of my life
    yeah
