Love is on the way, all I got to say is
It wont let go
You can pray to early May, fast for 30 days
Still it wont let go, oh
Got a good book and got all in it, tried a little yoga for a minute
But it wont let go, oh
Tried to turn the sauna up to hotter, drunk a whole jar of holy water
But it wont let go, oh

DANG...IT WONT LET GO!
Now this , folks, is REAL music. As opposed to the CRAP that passes for music these days. My folks used to listen to REAL music like this back in the day, which is probrably why I can't stop listining to this. We grew up with an appreciation for REAL MUSIC something youngsters know nothing about today. I urge all of you with children to listen to REAL MUSIC around your children, that they may grow up to recognize what REAL MUSIC is.
my jam...

This song it tight! I especially loved it when she performed on The Chapelle Show.
this has always been one of my favorite tracks behind "didn't cha know" but this track was a personal theme song of mine for a while. It's just soooooo amazing!
my fav track by miss EB...timeless music right here...this track just gets meeee, no matter how old this song is...ill always luv itttt
Shes on the vibe. One love!
I LOVE THIS
this song speaks to my heart!
No she saying that she's Genuine, the difference is that she's breaking it down,(sounding it out) GEN-U-INE, Get it!
this song is definitely my life right now...u can try to convince yourself as much as you want that ur not in love anymore...that you're over it...but like Erykah said you can do everything possible to try to get rid of it but it wont let go. my pride is too strong tho. Guess i'll just be wanting and wanting...with this song on repeat
follow me on instagram @1mind1father
One of my many favorite songs by EB!

This is my jam! Ssssserious spiritual jam!!!!💓
Erykah had her babies at home and that's what I'm planning on this November. Putting this song on my playlist for when I go into labour! LOL!
Wow! If only the men could hear this and understand what we go through to KEEP! Leave it ti Erykah to form the words of all women

the entire track is brillant - long time since i've listened to it ... but it now hit me again!!....

World of the "ic's"...
Classic, Epic, Magic, Fantastic, Poetic, Terrific
I just love ic!
My husband told me he loves me to this song when we were dating 😍😍
I can't ebough of this song. lyrics are so simple and speaks of a woman being in love in the worse way! who couldn't relate..we fight the feeling so hard when we just need to let it be!!!
WOW! Absolutely killer.
this extremely talent, God's given talent, always comes through and touches me in every way, just thankful for having her in my life!
i love her,such a soulful woman! keep doing your thing erykah!
@ILuvMusic4real i didnt see her perform that live yet. i could listen to anything she performs and enjoy it. as i got older, i appreciate her music much more.
yes maam
Her performance on Dave Chappelle BLEW MY MIND. I slapped myself for not finding that video sooner, I love Erykah
im a big fan of her music its very soulful in fact i am a soulful/pop/r&b and rap music listner
Thisis almost like outer body experience level shit.
Such a sexy song. I hope my children are conceived to this song one day
i looovvvveeeee this song!
I must agree. I have been trying to find this song after hearing it on Chappelle. Hey, should have released a DVD with all of his musical acts on it. I think that would sell.
LOVE IT
The guitar riff at the end is the best part of the song!!!
FIYAAAAAH!!!!!!!!
this song is the shit!
thanks for putting the lyrics on here too!
i wanna see the performance of this song on chappelle show. great song!
she drank a whole jar of holy water.. to no avail >:)
😂
Damn! Just shows when that love Jones hit Cha...it's over for hate!!!!
بارك الله فيك
Comme elle est magnifique j'adore une vrai artiste comme j'aime
"i want you"...its as simple as that. this the f*ckin jam!!
it's an Ankh, it's an Kemetic (Egypt) symbol for life. It is also called "the key of life"
one of the most creative artist of the millenium. she's not affected to water dwn her music. her band is fuckin bananas. besides a real artist has a band not tracks. thats how u know who real and who's not......(I LOVE U MS.WRIGHT)
This part :
“Because I’m genuine I’m genuiiinee
//I don’t want no trouble
Just a little loving
I don’t want your money
I wanna get to know ya
You ought a get to know me” ;)
Wow ... damn, this is the real music ?!!!
I ove this song, it remember me a lot of good things :)
Am I the only one that would like to see her get back together with André 3000 then actually get married???? And be together until death do they part????
