"Master Teacher" lyrics - ERYKAH BADU
I have longed to stay awake
(A beautiful world im trying to find)
A beautiful world im trying to find
(A beautiful world, im trying to find)
Ive been in search of myself
(A beautiful world) a beautiful world
Its just too hard for me to find
(Dreams, dreams)
Said its just too hard for me to find
(Dreams, dreams)
I am in the search of something new
(A beautiful world im trying to find)
Searchin' me
Searching inside of you
And thats fo' real
What if it were no niggas
Only master teachers?
I stay woke (dreams dreams)
What if there was no niggas
Only master teachers?
I stay woke (dreams dreams)
What if it was no niggas only master teachers now?
I stay woke (dreams dreams)
(What if there was no niggas only master teachers now?)
I stay woke (dreams dreams)
Even if yo baby ain't got no money
To support ya baby, you
(I stay woke)
Even when the preacher tell you some lies
And cheatin on ya mama, you stay woke
(I stay woke)
Even though you go through struggle and strife
To keep a healthy life, I stay woke
(I stay woke)
Everybody knows a black or a white there's creatures in every shape and size
Everybody
(I stay woke)
Everybody, stay
(I stay woke)
Get everybody
(I stay woke)
Everybody body baby
(A beautiful world, a beautiful world) (dreams, dreams)
(A beautiful world, a beautiful world) (dreams, dreams)
(A beautiful world, a beautiful world) im trying to find
(A beautiful world, a beautiful world) im trying to find
(A beautiful world, a beautiful world) im trying to find
I have lone to stay awake
A beautiful world im trying to find
(A beautiful world im trying to find)
See, I am insearch of myself
(A beautiful world, im trying to find)
Ooh its just too hard for me to find
(A beautiful world, a beautiful world)
Said it just too hard for me to find
(Dreams, dreams, dreams)
'Cuz I'm in the search of something new
(A beautiful world im trying to find)
Search inside me
Searching inside you
And thats the trill
What if there was no niggas
Only master teachers?
(I stay woke)
What if there was no niggas
Only master teacher?
(I stay woke)
What if there was no niggas
Only master teachers now?
(I stay woke)
What if there was no niggas
Only master teacher?
(I stay woke)
Noo, what if there was no niggas
Only master teachers?

Only master teachers now
Teach us, teach us teach us [fade]
What if there was niggas only master teachers now [fade]

Baby sleepy time
To put her down now
Ill be standin' round
Till da sun down

I stay woke
Congregation nod they head
And say amen
The deacon fell alseep again and
I stay woke
But I stay woke
I stay woke
I stay woke
Lovers holding hands
And falling deep in love
And sleeping and
Passing conversation
Ooh, I stay woke
I stay woke
I stay woke
I stay woke
Pretty rings and pretty thieves
With shiny lights and little
Pieces of tomorrow
I stay woke
I stay woke
I stay woke
I stay woke
Oh ah, oh ah
I stay woke
Oh ah, oh ah
I stay woke
Oh ah, oh ah
I stay
Oh ah, oh ah
Ohh I stay
Oh ah, oh ah
Oh ah, oh ah
Baby sleepy time
To put her down and
I'll be standin round
Until sun down, hey
Oh ah, oh ah
Oh ah, oh ah
Oooooh, ooooh, ooooh
