Window Seat by Erykah Badu

 

They play it safe, are quick to assassinate what they do not understand. They move in packs ingesting more and more fear with every act of hate on one another. They feel most comfortable in groups, less guilt to swallow. They are us. This is what we have become. Afraid to respect the individual. A single person within a circumstance can move one to change. To love herself. To evolve

- Erykah Badu

Fell in love

So, presently I'm standing

Here right now, you're so demanding

Tell me what you want from me

Concluding, concentrating on my music, lover, and my babies

Make me wanna ask a lady for a ticket outta town

So can I get a window seat?

Don't want nobody next to me

I just want a ticket outta town

A look around and a safe touch down

Can I get a window seat? 

Don't want nobody next to me

I just want a chance to fly

A chance to cry, and a long bye-bye

But I, I need you to want me

I need you to miss me

I, I need yo' attention, yes

I need you next to me

Oh I, I need someone to clap for me 

I need your direction

Somebody say come back

Come back, baby, come back

I want you to need me

So, out my mind I'm tusslin'

Back and forth 'tween here and hustlin'

I don't wanna time travel no mo'

I wanna be here, my thinkin'

Say, on this porch I'm rockin'

Back and forth like Lightnin' Hopkins

So if anybody speak to Scotty

Tell him, "Beam me up!"
