So with my God-given talents, I’m trying to motivate and inspire excellence.

I believe I was put here to do something excellent in this world. Artist: Erykah Badu Genre: Soul Release Date: Label: Universal Motown Catalog Number: UD-53109 Recording: Live Length: 01:14:32 Format: CD Credits. He continued: “This song is about unifying as a culture.

“United we stand I’m talking Unity divided we fall/ Change the narrative to help the people evolve/To the younger generation show them what’s real/ They’re popping them pills popping in clips looking to kill/ 9 o’clock on the dot a Glock nine was popped / Watch the news in the morning somebody’s son was shot/ Somebody’s mom in shock, it’s an ongoing cycle/ Makes you want to go home and open a bible/ Drop your face in your hands trying to understand/ A young king killed can’t be a part of God’s plan/ Damn, he was just in the club throwing some bands/ Barely 21 he was just becoming a man/ Imagine if the hood unified we can do it we got to start with you and I/ Then it multiply/ Put the nines down put the two fingers up/ Can’t let people self-destruct,” he raps in the first verse. Live solidifies that reputation, delivering soulful, gritty versions of cuts from Baduizm, a few covers, and the spectacular new single, 'Tyrone.' Not only does it illustrate the depths of Badus talents, but Live is as strong and captivating as Baduizm.
