On & On Lyrics By Erykah Badu

    oh my my my i’m feeling high
    my money’s gone i’m all alone
    too much to see
    the world keeps turning
    oh what a day what a day what a day
    peace and blessings manifest with every lesson learned
    if your knowledge were your wealth then it would be wellearned
    if we were made in his image then call us by our names
    most intellects do not believe in god but they fear us just the same

    oh on and on and on and on
    my cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone
    oh on and on and on and on
    all night ’til the break of dawn
    i go on and on and on and on
    my cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone
    oh on and on and on and on
    goddammit i’ma sing my song

    i was born under water
    with three dollars and six dimes
    yeah you might laugh
    ’cause you did not do your math
    like one two three
    damn y’all feel that oh
    like one two three
    the world keeps turning
    oh what a day what a day what a day
    the man that knows something knows that he knows nothing at all
    does it seem colder in your summertime and hotter in your fall
    if we were made in his image then call us by our names
    most intellects do not believe in god but they fear us just the same

    oh on and on and on and on
    my cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone
    on and on and on and on
    all night till the vultures swarm
    i go on and on and on and on
    my cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone
    on and on and on and on
    mad props to the god jaborn

    i am feeling kinda hungry ’cause my high is coming down
    don’t feed me yours ’cause your food does not endure
    i think i need a cup of tea the world keeps burning
    oh what a day what a day what a day
    you rush into destruction ’cause you don’t have nothing left
    the mothership can’t save you so your ass is gon’ get left
    if we were made in his image then call us by our names
    most intellects do not believe in god but they fear us just the same

    oh on and on and on and on
    my cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone
    oh on and on and on on onon on on
    you can’t fuck with me so just leave it alone
    ooh ooh wait on and on and on and on
    my cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone
    oh on and on and on and on
    and on and on
