Badu creates, which some may see as a bad thing as she doesn't push herself as an artist to expand her music into new directions or reach new audiences, however, I would argue that even though this song is very reminiscent of many other songs by Ms. The laid-back, 'chilled', minimalistic vibe of this song can be seen in nearly every song that Ms. Badu is out to live her life and not care about what others think of her.įor me this song shows exactly who Erykah Badu is as a musician and an artist.
On the other hand the repetition, of the pre-chorus and chorus, really drills the message of the song into the reader's mind, that Ms. Badu's part, as we know she is very capable of writing intelligent and fitting lyrics that could've offered more to the song but she gets away with this laziness because her sultry vocal styling make whatever she's singing pleasant to listen to regardless of the lyrics actually are. Some individuals may see this as laziness on Ms. However, despite being very cleverly written in some places there is also a great deal of repetition of lyrics, for example the last four sections of the song are just repetitions of what has already been said. I think overall the lyrics are very cleverly written with intelligent references to the Tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden and that her knowledge is like the apple that Eve picked from the tree and that knowledge is like food that has to be planted and grown before being passed on to other people.
