Oh, yeah, I see the world differently now. Actually, when I first had the baby, I was breast-feeding him for two years straight.

I have advice for people - period - who are in unhealthy relationships: Follow your heart. It will get you to where you need to be. Sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's easy, the places that your heart takes you. But continue to follow it. Where the train leads you - you'll get there. Erykah Badu advicecontinueeasy share on social

I don't sing melodically. Rhyme pattern is how I sing. I also write like a lyricist or an MC because that's what I was before I was a singer. I just took those elements and put them into music. Erykah Badu elementlyricistmelodically Change image and share on social
