Plenty
Guru ft. Erykah Badu Lyrics

When she wants plenty, she gets plenty
She is capable of getting all that she wants when she wishes to.

then she gets plenty more, uhh
Moreover, she goes on to receive more than what she already has.

Watchin her drivin by, in her new whip so fly
Observing her driving around in her attractive and notable vehicle.

Wish she could sing me a lullaby, to scoop her I've got to try
Desiring for her to sing him a soothing song, putting in efforts to win her affection.

In her eyes, there's a flame that burns right through my soul
Her eyes display an intense fire that has a profound effect on his inner self.

Can't pretend to be cool, about to lose my control
He cannot keep his composure as he is about to give in to his feelings of attraction.

Yeah I know she's got plenty; admirers, she's got many
He knows that she has a lot of suitors vying for her attention.

Like an exotic fantasy, into a frenzy she sends me
She is like a captivating and striking dream that puts him in a state of excitement.

Hello? Hey babyyy
Answering the phone to the caller with endearment.

I know you called and I didn't answer twice
Acknowledging the missed calls from the person she is speaking to.

But baby that's oh-kay it's nice
Assuring him that it is alright and she appreciates his gesture.

for you to call anyway see, okay, see uhh
She encourages him to continue contacting her.

You know it's okay if you don't call me anymore cause I got a-plenty
Reassuring him that even if he decides to stop calling her, she has plenty of other admirers.

truckload of niggaz like you at my door {*dial tone*}
She has many other men similar to him waiting at her doorstep.

And every day is her day, and every year is her year
She lives each day with confidence and every year is bound to be hers.

Anyone tried to violate, they could straight disappear
Those individuals who try to cross her or disrespect her are dealt with harshly and vanish immediately.

She don't care if you play yourself, tryin to step to her
She does not feel bothered if someone tries to approach her in a foolish way.

The illest of gangsters, I show and respect to her
Even the toughest of men give her proper recognition and admiration.

Truly glamourous, she ain't impressed and it shows
She is genuinely stylish, but not easily awed and it is evident.

She don't like your new clothes, she don't care about your playa pose
She is not bothered by the type of clothes he wears, and not impressed by his show.

Do you suppose I could hook up and spend time with her?
He wonders if he can arrange a meeting with her and spend some quality time.

She's just how I dreamed - I'll bust my nine for her
She is how he imagined and he is willing to go the extra mile for her.

When she gets plenty, she gets plenty
She acquires an abundant amount of things when she is in the mood.

any damn thang she wants, uhh
She can have whatever she wishes for.

Surgeon General - I provide vitamins and minerals
He is like the Surgeon General in the sense that he has the essentials to offer.

The charge that she's got on me, should be federal
The grip she has on him is so strong that it should be regulated by the government.

I was told never put the two before the one son
He learned that making a hierarchy and setting priorities is essential.

but always cultivate your Wisdom, to help you build your kingdom
He has to keep developing wisdom to build his empire.

I want to be the answer to every question she has
He wishes to be the solution to all of her doubts and queries.

So when I wish to enter, she'll be lettin me pass
He wants to be able to enter her life without any resistance.

I know she wants to be with G-O-D eventually, but still
Knowing that she desires to be with God eventually, but for now...

She got everything; yeah the girl's got plenty
She possesses all the things she wants and needs.

Flowers in her bedroom
She has flowers in her bedroom.

Perfume on her neck
She smells nice, with perfume on her neck.

Nectar from a mason jar
Drinking nectar from a mason jar.

Seven dollar dress; she's
Wearing a dress of just seven dollars and looking amazing in it.

Super cute, and plenty bad
She is extremely attractive and confident in her looks.

Thirty twenty-two thirty-six and a half

She got the silky(?) (?)sexy bedroom eyes
Her eyes express intense sexuality, perhaps being smooth and luscious.

Baby baby please don't break yo' neck

She effectively gains an abundance of things when she wishes for them.

and she gets plenty more (plenty more) ahh
Furthermore, she gets even more than what she already had.

and any damn thang I want - right?

In this game of life it takes a lot to win
It takes significant effort to succeed in life.

Plenty more baby's what I got to give
She has a lot more to offer and can fulfill the desires of numerous people.

Yeah yeah baby that's really nice
Expressing appreciation for what he has to offer.

But I'm tryin to read my book and you're in my light
She is busy reading her book and he is blocking the light.

Uhh - a woman like you could help me reach the top
He feels that a strong woman like her can help him succeed in life.

If I get a chance to love you, mm, I won't stop
He does not want to lose the opportunity to love her and will not give up on it.

Damn! Oh huh, what? Huh, whaaat?
Overwhelmingly surprised by sudden emotions and asking for clarification.

I didn't hear you I was thinkin bout some stuff
Acknowledging that he was lost in his thoughts and unable to pay attention earlier.

Baby you so fine I want to smack myself
