BORN: February 26, 1972 Erykah Badu was born Erica Wright in Dallas, Texas, in 1972. Her mother raised her single handily along with Erykah's brother and sister, since their father had left the family home early on in their lives. In order to provide for her family, the children's grandmother often helped in looking after them while Erykah's mother, Kollen Wright, performed as an actress in various theatrical productions. Having been influenced significantly by her mother, Erica Wright (or Erykah Badu as she would later become known to her legions of fans) had her first taste of showbiz at the tender age of 4, singing and dancing with her mother at the Dallas Theatre Centre. Free-styling at a local radio station By the age of 14, Erykah was free-styl More... (Submit New Erykah Badu Lyrics) (Submit New Erykah Badu Lyrics) Review about Erykah Badu Think about it... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song On and On performed by Erykah Badu Whether she "believes" in God is not the question at hand. The bible says that "even demons tremble at His name." She clearly knows that God exists. I won't go as far as saying that she is the devil himself, but I will say that she is NOT a FOLLOWER of Christ. If she was, then she wouldn't be cussing in her lyrics or giving props to the "god Ja'Bron", whoever that is! For those that are truly living this thing the Christ way, we know that the devil was the angel of music so why wouldn't he use the very thing that he was a pro at to get his message across?? Be not deceived...KNOW that Christ is the one and only way. Whether you choose to live for today or for a true purpose, there is an end. I would much rather prepare for the worse than to be caught up as the worst when it all goes down. Just something to think about those that "don't take this seriously." I did love her music, but I love Christ more. POINT BLANK. If you are a "proclaimed" atheist, then you should really explore other options. You claim yourself as something, which means that you have beliefs or the capacity to believe that there isn't a God. Maybe you should start looking at the facts as to why there IS a God. I pray that you feel His spirit as you are reading this...I love you brother/sister. It's not too late :) Responding to Erykah being Satan | Reviewer: Lady Capricorn ------ About the song On and On performed by Erykah Badu Look everyone. I have been a fan of this woman since she first came out. Her album LIVE explains what she means in her song On and On. 360 represents how the earth turns. Everything is a cycle and 360 is a cycle. If you really hear her music then you would understand. People tend to bad mouth what they don't understand. Why do you think back in the day black people were denied education and their right to vote? Same thing. Somethings not right with you.... :) | Reviewer: Nikki ------ About the song On and On performed by Erykah Badu Chaz-- In the song twinkle, she sings about Hip Hop being the healer of the nation, shes not talking about what hip hop has become today talking about "get on the dance floor and back that booty up" and "move bitch, get out the way!" lol Listen to her music, all her songs are about real life. struggles, pain, love, lust, God, God's people, religion...etc. HER Hip Hop, the way it was when hip hop was first created, is what shes referring to. If you truely knew Hip Hop you would know that it comes from the soul, mind, body and spirit. Artists today have twisted the genre for the sake of making money. thats not what shes referring to. and about her being satanic, you're delusional. Yoga being a satanic ritual..? come on now!! Miss Badu | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song On and On performed by Erykah Badu I only read the first page of responses of people trying to decipher what Miss Badu is talking about in this song. If you are a true Erykah Badu fan you would know that she is considered a 5 Percenter,(type of religion) and if you knew anything about that religion, hell just Wikipedia it, alot of what she is singing about will be explained.

Please Stop | Reviewer: annonymous ------ About the song On and On performed by Erykah Badu Look music is an expression of what inside you! Not everything that you hears is going click with everyone that's the beauty of music it's one form of art that can be ass opinionated as the individual likes. Now if you belive in what they talk about or not that's your personal issue but none of us Christian, Athiest, Muslim, or other wise have a right to debate someones beleif let he without sin cast the first stone! There is Something Not right.... | Reviewer: Chaz ------ About the song On and On performed by Erykah Badu Yo listen guys, i was always a Erykah Badu fan myself, but the women is dodgey, i went into more research of this women an she is a satanic women believe it or not. From time she does evil rituals and yoga before her songs blatently shows that the women is not a women of God, as a Christain, however being brought up on music n loving this women , i had to find out for myself, n this women is evil. In other songs, like the one on her new album , i think Twinkle, and she talks about how Hip Hops the healer of the nation, now if u watch the truth of Hip Hop , you would know its the complete opposite to what she says , not the healer, the deceiver of the nation, n the thing is, if u dnt believe me, look it up for yourself, find out for youyrself , DNT LISTEN TO SUMTHING THAT UR UNSURE OF N B AT RISK TO B DECIEVED... trust . great writing | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Love Of My Life performed by Erykah Badu I love how it all sounds like a great love story about relationships when she is really talking about her love of hip hop music. Talking about the tables turning (turntables) and keeping in touch through his friend "Mike" (microphone). Whenever I get lonely or need some advice, I know music has always been there for me. This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Love you erykah! PLEASe, nigga!!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song On and On performed by Erykah Badu just listen to the track "reprise" on Live album and u'll get it clear, and also go on youtube and find badu mtv unplugged on&on she's making explanations of this track here so u wont need to read all these bullshit comments about her bein a satan People are nuts | Reviewer: kam ------ About the song On and On performed by Erykah Badu You people are all nuts. im an atheist, i know to much about religion and its roots to believe in that superstition. but i enjoy this song nonetheless. i for one second didnt think she doesnt believe in god. in fact im pretty sure she does. but its still a good song. you people need to get over yourselves. its music. and you dont have to agree with her opinion to like it. thats what i like about music, people write about what is true to THEM. and you cant fault them for that whether you believe what they believe or not. Shes Crazy | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song On and On performed by Erykah Badu if you listen to the actual song, @ the end she says i was born underwater with 3 dollars 6 dimes, you laugh cuhz you didnt do the math. that = 3.60 take out the deciaml its 360 with =man, she is saying God is Man. Response to First Page | Reviewer: The Guy ------ About the song On and On performed by Erykah Badu Problem is, you guys aren't listening to the song...(just read the first page) she's actually saying "The Fear Of is Just the Same" Much like saying "Of is" fast, a syllable was lost in transcription and misinterpreted. Most Intellects do not believe in god, but the Fear Of (god) is just the same. Interesting | Reviewer: MBR ------ About the song On and On performed by Erykah Badu I find it very interesting that any these posts claim to explain exactly what this song is trying to say at all. As a writer, I think it would be rather presumptuous for any of us to claim to KNOW what is being said here. Like any art, the lyrics of a song mean different things to different people as well they should. Whether you feel they are satanic are not is all a matter of your particular perspective. I can make the argument that the line "Most intellects do not believe in God but they fear us just the same" is saying that most intellects fear those who actually beleive in a higher power because they know that there is strength in belief whether founded or not. Simply believing in a thing can make it as real to a person as any tangible thing. A God is something out there that intellects can not explain. That is after all any intellect's worst fear, not being able to know a thing for certain. My point is that no one but the writer(s) actually knows for sure what these lyrics truly mean and we should humble ourselves and allow them to mean to us whatever our minds/hearts/intellects want them to mean. If we don't like the meaning, we can always choose to listen to something else and leave others to enjoy this song, or not. she is not satanic your view is just myopic | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song On and On performed by Erykah Badu uh no she is not saying she is god she is referring to Gods people..the God inside of us and those who acknowledge it. Intellectuals are those who rationalize with education and may beleive in a "higher power" but not god. People fear what the dont understand i.e you call her satanic because you dont understand her lyrics, dont take things so literally sheesh and before you go around calling people satanic examine yourself first... WOW!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song On and On performed by Erykah Badu I Have read some seriously accusing tones from people here!! From a christian perspective I can understand that music is not just music it's a form of ministration. BUT!! I would like the REAL interpretation of these lyrics and not just what Christians think it means!!! What if the deeper meaning was supposed to minister to someone!!!! People should not just be shooting it down and writing it of as satanic!!! Lyric confusion!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song On and On performed by Erykah Badu "Those intellects do not believe in God but they fear us just the same". This appears to say that those who believe in God fear her ("us"). And that even though the intellects don't believe in God but they fear her ("us")all the same (aswell). If those who believe in God are supposed to fear her then its assumed that she is working against God, (i.e. Satanic)!! I'm not sure but this seems to be the case. Bottom Line is however Christians shouldn't listen to secular anyway especially if it means they are gonna have to sit down to decipher whether it's of God or not. STICK TO GOSPEL THAT'S MUSIC ABOUT GOD!!! It's stupid to listen to Erykah (who never claimed to sing for God or about Christianity) and judge her on whether she's Satanic or not. it's a waste of time!!! Live& Let Live. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song On and On performed by Erykah Badu I, personally, think this is an extraordinary song. It's cool that everyone finds something to talk about...intellectual conversations, if you must, but why can't we just take things for what they are? There are, indeed, gray areas, &many shades at that. Case by case scenarios, decide on things based on the situation, which is why there are judges: to decide, looking at the bigger picture, if the person was or was not justified in her/his actions. For example, should someone be charged for assault if it was merely self defense? Regardless the circumstances, whatever you may think, people have their own opinions, beliefs, judgements. So what? Why would you let it bother you? I live among homosexuals, heterosexuals, Muslims, Christians, Jews...I'm not going to force my beliefs upon any of them, tell them they are wrong for worshipping the wrong god. By all means, worship your god. Having something to believe in means having hope, &who am I to attempt to crush everything you built your values upon? Just take the song for what it is, &if you don't want to, THEN DON'T LISTEN TO IT. God gave us free will, SO USE IT. Coexist. Live& let live. "Imma sing my song... YOU CAN'T FUCK WITH ME, SO JUST LEAVE IT ALONE." READ THE BOOK | Reviewer: myfatherisrich ------ About the song On and On performed by Erykah Badu I am so bothered that non Christians and "Christians" alike are so uninformed. First and foremost Christianity is an offspring of Judaism, but it did not begin officially until the death of Jesus hence Christianity...that basic high school history World History to be exact. This comment about judge not, so many people has taken this comment out of context. A judge is someone that sentences a criminal, by merely saying a person religion is not the true religion does not mean that person is "judging" anyone it just mean that they are inspecting fruit...if it is not right (ripe) you do not bother it. I use to be an Erykah Badu fan not to mention Jill Scott, Musiq, and the one that sung the Christmas song with Stevie Wonder but know I now better because of the tape The Truth behind hip hop. How about you buy it, watch it and become an educated people. A MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE. Stop justifying things to fit you..wrong is wrong and right is right..no more shades of gray people. You must deecide whom you will serve and where you decide to spend eternity. Read the book...the BIBLE. The truth | Reviewer: J Bigg ------ About the song On and On performed by Erykah Badu Amen DA EARTH. The song was very creative, I respect the 5% movement,I don't agree with everything they believe but I do beleive that the majority of the world is mislead and that we all have god in us but are brainwashed to believe we weren't worthy. I WAS what you would call a christian up until 3 months ago until my eyes were opened. Although I've never questioned the church with my mouth, my heart always questioned certain things and everyone knows your heart can't lie. Like the concept of an all-loving god sending his children to hell?? Rightt. Most christians don't even know that there were many religions here before them and that they all had the same theme. They also don't know that most religions before them had a messiah.. or someone that died for them. The story of Horus in the Egyptian teachings ( wayyyy before the bible) is the same story as Jesus. The story of the Flood was in the Epic of Gilgamesh. Am I doubting Jesus was real? No. I just doubt he died for us to go to heaven. As if I was never worthy enough to have a relationship with my father until Jesus died. Jesus was a man that walked this earth to show people how to live by God's word and he was persecuted because the way he walked with god went against tradition and how they percived your walk with god should be. THINK ABOUT IT, most people believe Jesus died on the cross but still choose to stay in sin but they feel his blood saves them, as if it doesn't matter if they live right or not because of his blood. The old testament taught that loving your neighbors like you love yourself is what kept you in god's grace (which pretty much sums up the commandments, oh which by the way the Hindus, Buddhist and most other religions out there teach), but they PErverted new testament teaches that now you need to acknowledge a savior. In the bible when Jesus was asked how to see the kingdom of heaven he referred back to the scriptres (old testament), he did not say you had to believe he was going to die for you.. HUMAN SACRIFICE IS A PAGAN RITUAL, THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH WHICH TAKES CREDIT FOR THE ENGLISH VERSION OF THE NEW TESTAMENT THAT WE READ TODAY WORSHIPPED PAGANISM AND STILL DO, THEy BLENDED THEIR BELIEFS WITH HOW CHRISTIANITY WAS MEANT TO BE AND THIS IS WHY WE HAVE WHAT WE HAVE TODAY, A PERVERSION OF THE TRUTH. Do you mean to tell me that I can love my neighbors like I love myself and because I don't believe in a pale white dude hanging on a cross, I'm going to burn in hell??? Pleaseee. We need to quit letting religions enslave us and to make us believe we are less that than what we were meant to be. We were made in his image so why do we need mediators? It was all about living right. Some Christians even know that there were books taken out of the bibile but are too scared to go look at them because the church tells them the books that were taken out were heretical and the church still teaches that the bible should be your only source for knowledge of god ( minus the bokks they took among themselves to take out). They would rather stay ignorant from whats missing. I've read the lost books and they don't go against the bible at all, it goes against the lies that are being taught in the church. I am off my soapbox. If i offended anyone I just wanted you to know that ....... I meant every word I said and yes I was talking to you.
