About Me

"You Got Me" is a song by the hip hop band The Roots, featuring vocals by Erykah Badu (who sings the chorus) and Eve, then known as Eve of Destruction, who raps the second verse but does not appear in the music video. The track was released as a single from the band's fourth studio album, Things Fall Apart (1999). "You Got Me" was co-written by musician Jill Scott, who recorded vocals for the song's chorus and bridge. Her part was subsequently re-recorded by Badu at the insistence of MCA Records, who wanted a higher-profile collaboration for the album's official lead single (at the time, Scott was relatively unknown outside Philadelphia). When the group later went on tour, Scott joined them during performances of the song. The original version was later released on the 2005 compilation Home Grown! The Beginners Guide to Understanding the Roots, Volume One. The song garnered The Roots and Badu a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 2000. more »

Everything around you see
The Ankhs, the wraps, the plus degrees
And yes even the mysteries
It's all me
Sometimes it hard to move you see
When you growing publicly
But if I have to chose between
I chose me

Had two babies different dudes
And for them both my love was true
This is my last interview, oh
Hey there's me, ooh
This year I turned thirty six
Damn it seems it came so quick
My ass and legs have gotten thick yea
It's all me
I use to pray to God above
But now I'm filled with so much love
But even if the world can't see
It's still me
Will I escape this vanity?
Or will I keep on smoking trees?
But I'll just let it go and be, be, be Me

Ah, leave it alone babe
Well well well
Ah oh, leave it alone babe
Just being me
Ah, leave it alone babe
Well well well
Ah oh, leave it alone babe
Just being me

Sometimes I don't know what to say
So many leaders to obey
But I was born on saviors day, yes
So I chose me
And in this world of greed and hate
They may try to erase my face
But millions spring up in my place
Ooh, believe in me
As sure is all and all is one
We all should grow before it's done
So I salute you Farrakan, yes
'Cause you are me
Before I end this crazy dream
Before I take one for the team
Yo ass done matched the gasoline, yes
That's Colleen
