Buttons lyrics

by

Erykah Badu


[Intro]
Yeah

[Chorus]
Yeah, there's no answer and you called twice
Nobody be at my house
I was at the studio all night
Last night I slept on the couch
I might wake up and do it all again
There's a world goin' crazy outside
But let's pretend that it's alright
We keep pretendin' that it's alright

[Verse 1]
Yeah, alright
Days get mixed up (Uh-huh), schedules get switched up (Uh-huh)
Can't be two places at once (Yep)
So, I take a hit of the spliff that I lit up (Lit up)
And forget I had to be anywhere at all
Goddamn, how the mighty will fall (Fall)
They wanna see me gone, but I'm here in spite of it all (All)
I never play along
You can keep the fear and self-pity (Fear)
I'd rather tell you who I am really, yeah
This is not the wake-up call
I am the hotel operator, I don't owe nobody favors
I don't know how the f*ck I've been around so long
Busy as a escalator in a crowded mall (Uh-huh)
It's like, every year I realize my house too small
Get paid, upgrade, two cribs, new maids, more flights, few planes
Live out my suitcase (Suitcase), lose days like loose change (Loose change)
I swear my life is on Blu-ray, welcome to doomsday
The world needs a hero and I am your Bruce Wayne
Kind of like Luke Cage, well (Well, well, well, well)
You keep on runnin', we keep on pushin' your buttons
[Chorus]
Yeah, there's no answer and you called twice
Nobody be at my house
I was at the studio all night
Last night I slept on the couch
I might wake up and do it all again
There's a world goin' crazy outside
But let's pretend that it's alright
We keep pretendin' that it's alright

[Verse 2]
I run around with open scissors (Yeah), they takin' pictures
I could lose my head, it grow instead, gets only bigger
I put one foot in front of the other, I never settle
Waste yo' time with water and wine, I'm turnin' liquid to metal
Still the (Still the) same dude that used to never be sure (Yeah)
When I was way more insecure, did not feel better before, no
Umbrellas never could weather the storm
No sympathy for the devil, too busy buildin' a temple
I am lookin' beyond (Beyond), leavin' 'em lookin'
Hot as the grill I'm puttin' 'em on when I be cookin', sh*t
(Cooking, cooking, cooking)
I keep on runnin' if I have to
Medusa never turned me to a statue, no
I keep it movin' (Movin', movin'), but keep it low (Low, low, low, low)
You can do your thing, sh*t, to each their own (Yep, yep, yep)
But you better do somethin'
We keep on pushin' your buttons (Buttons)
[Chorus]
Yeah, there's no answer and you called twice
Nobody be at my house
I was at the studio all night
Last night I slept on the couch
I might wake up and do it all again
There's a world goin' crazy outside
But let's pretend that it's alright
We keep pretendin' that it's alright
