Lyrics

[Intro]
Ye, yo
Ye, yo
Ye, yo
Ye, yo
[Verse 1]
Well, I came to the show, I was picked to flow (Sometimes)
Now I wanna know if you wanna go
To the studio bust a rhyme or two (Sometimes)
What you wanna do?
What you wanna do?
Bring your sack but I'm cool with that (Sometimes)
I got the fateless tag and a pimped out drag
Got the song and it's on, it's on (Sometimes)
Got the studio rocked down all night long (Well)
Written by: Ahmir Thompson, Erykah Badu, James Poyser, Kenyatta Saunders, Leonard N Hubbard, Mel Lewis
