Erykah Badu

Master Teacher

(dreams, dreams, dreams)

I am known to stay awake

(a beautiful world im trying to find)

A beautiful world im trying to find

(a beautiful world, im trying to find)

Ive been in search of myself

(a beautiful world) a beautiful world

Its just too hard for me to find

(dreams, dreams)

Said its just too hard for me to find

(dreams, dreams)

I am in the search of something new

(a beautiful world im trying to find)

Searchin' me,

Searching inside of you

And thats fo' real

What if it were no niccas

Only master teachers?

I stay woke (dreams dreams)

What if there was no niccas

Only master teachers?

I stay woke (dreams dreams)

What if it was no niccas only master teachers now?

I stay woke (dreams dreams)

(what if there was no niccas only master teachers now?)

I stay woke (dreams dreams)

Even if yo baby aint got no money

To support ya baby, you

(I stay woke)

Even when the preacher tell you some lies

And cheatin on ya mama, you stay woke

(I stay woke)

Even though you go through struggle and strife

To keep a healthy life, I stay woke

(I stay woke)

Everybody knows a black or white, there's

Creatures in every shape and size

(I stay woke)

Everybody, stay

(I stay woke)

Get everybody

Everybody body baby

(a beautiful world, a beautiful world) (dreams, dreams)

I have lone to stay awake

A beautiful world im trying to find

Ooh its just too hard for me to find
