” thanks for getting up this morning” said the butterfly

Ever since I was a child, I’ve turned it over in my mind. I sang by the piano; tore my yellow dress and cried and cried and cried. And I don’t want to see what I’ve seen; to undo what has been done. Turn off all the lights, let the morning come, come. Now there’s green light in my eyes and my lover on my mind. And I sing from the piano; tear my yellow dress and cry and cry and cry, over the love of you. On this champagne-drunken home, against the current of gold. Everybody see I love him. ‘Cause it’s the feeling that you get when the afternoon is set on the bridge into the city. I don’t want to see what I’ve seen; to undo what has been done. Turn off all the lights, let the morning come. There’s green light in my eyes and my lover on my mind. And I sing from that piano, tear my yellow dress and cry and cry and cry. ‘Cause you’re a hard soul to save with an ocean in the way, but I’ll get around it. ‘Cause you’re a hard soul to save with an ocean in the way, but I’ll get around it. Now there’s green light in my eyes and my lover on my mind. And I sing from that piano, tear my yellow dress and cry and cry and cry, over the love of you. Cry and cry and cry, over the love of you. I can see the green light, I can see it in your eyes.

Erykah Badu Interviews Kendrick Lamar

  • BADU: How do you choose chicks from backstage?
  • LAMAR: How do I choose chicks from backstage?
  • BADU: Yeah, what is the protocol?
  • LAMAR: I try not to. [laughs] I’m too scared. Anybody who knows me knows that I’m probably the most scared person when it comes to that because I’m so caught up in the act of sex, of something going crazy, going out of my control. I’m too paranoid.
  • BADU: [laughs] So you just pass?
  • LAMAR: I’ve got to because I’ve seen a situation where it got totally out of hand, where something seemed so innocent, and now this person has got allegations on them. It spooked me. This was before my career really started, though—before any “Kendrick Lamar.” And that right there? It changed my whole perception about certain things. I’ll always keep that in the back of my head.
  • BADU: So who is your asshole-checker?
  • LAMAR: Who is my what?
  • BADU: Your asshole-checker—the person in your crew or your family who let’s you know if you’re being a asshole.
  • LAMAR: I have two, actually. [both laugh] But the main one is a friend of mine—a lady friend who has known me since high school. She has always been someone, since day one, who has said something whenever I’m an asshole, or also if I’m doin’ something positive—but more so when I’m out of my element.
  • BADU: What’s your favorite cereal?
  • LAMAR: Fruity Pebbles. When people ask for my rider, they think I’m crazy: Fruity Pebbles, baked chicken, bottle of Hennessy, and some Polo socks.
  • BADU: What do you, as a man, envy about what it means to be a woman?
  • LAMAR: There’s just a certain knowledge instilled in a woman. There are these things that women have that men just can’t grasp: the understanding of love; the understanding of being; having a certain type of care in your heart and knowing when to be compassionate; knowing how to be a confidante…
  • BADU: That’s a good perspective. Something I envy that men have is that ability to grow a goatee. I think that’d be really hot on me.
