Ye Yo

Ye Yo means "Mother" in Swahili.
I heard this song for the first time, less than 7 minutes ago. I immediately fell in love with it. Erykah Badu's voice is so powerful and pure. I respect her for who she is.

She begins by saying:
"I'd like to thank the Creator, for giving me this gift, and I'd like to thank you for being the reflection of this gift. 'Cause sometimes, you feel like you are by yourself and hmmm...no matter what anybody ever thinks...no matter what anybody EVER thinks, I still get cold when it's cold, hunger when I'm hungry, miss my mama when I'm away...get tired... I'm a person and I represent you."

Lyrics and the video to this beautiful song:

Ye yo, ye yo, ye yo, ye yo
(Help me)
Ye yo, ye yo, ye yo, ye yo...

Sometimes,
Sometimes I get so lonely, lonely, lonely
I feel all by myself up here
That's when I take a minute
To re-evaluate things
All of the things I think are special
Oooh like
When you wake up in the morning
And you see the morning sun
And you need to know the world is on your side
Who do you run to?
Who can you turn to?
Come on
Then the evening comes to greet you
You need someone to hold you close
And you feel the need to rest your aching mind
Who can you run to?
Who can you turn to?
Well see the sun's in the east and the moon reflects
Like the knowledge and wisdom I manifest
If you wanna go to heaven lay up on my breast
I'm ye yo, your ye yo
I say the sun's in the east and the moon reflects
Like the knowledge and wisdom I manifest
If you wanna go to heaven lay up on my breast
I'm ye yo, your ye yo
Ye yo, ye yo, ye yo.
