It’s been a while since we heard about Erykah Badu and now she’s certainly back and this time, with a bang. Just today, I read in the news that her controversial new video, “Seat Window”. Part of the news is below…
NEW YORK (CBS) It’s unclear exactly what statement Erykah Badu intended to make with her “Window Seat” video, but she certainly succeeded in getting people to talk about her…and her lady parts.
On her twitter page she said that her intent was to spark a discussion of “groupthink” – whatever that is – but some say it was all a publicity stunt, and a distasteful one at that.
Either way, Badu has now been slapped with a $500 fine, and six months probation.
Others defend the ends, if not the means, saying that freedom of speech should be protected no matter what that speech is. Read the rest of the story here
If you are also intrigued on what’s the fuss behind this news then check Erykah Badu’s newest video, “Seat Window” and you decide if what she did is a crime or just an expression of the message of her song.
Sing with Erykah with the Seat Window lyrics
So, presently i’m standing
Here right now
You’re so demanding
Tell me what u want from me
Concluding
Concentrating on my music , lover , and my babies
Makes me wanna ask the lady for a ticket outta town…
So can I get a window seat
Don’t want nobody next to me
I just want a ticket outta town
A look around
And a safe touch down
Window seat
Don’t want nobody next to me
I just want a chance to fly
A chance to cry
And a long bye bye..
But I need u to want me
Need you to miss me
I need your attention
I need you next me
I need someone to clap for me
I need your direction
Somebody say come back
Come back baby come back
I want u to need me
Come back come back baby come back
Come back come back baby come back
Come back come back baby come back
So, in my mind i’m tusslin’
Back and forth ‘tween here and hustlin’
I don’t wanna time travel no mo
I wanna be here
I’m thinking

On this porch i’m rockin’
Back and forth light lightning hopkins
If anybody speak to scotty
Tell him beam me up..
So can I get a window seat
Don’t want nobody next to me
I just want a ticket outta town
A look around
And a safe touch down
Window seat
Don’t want nobody next to me
I just want a chance to fly
A chance to cry
And a long bye bye..
But I need you to miss me
Need somebody come get me
Need your attention
Need your energy yes I do
Need someone to clap for me
Need your affection
Somebody say come back
Come back baby come back
I want u to need me
Come back come back baby come back
Come back come back baby come back
Come back come back baby come back
But can I get a window seat
Don’t want nobody next to me
I just want a ticket outta town
A look around
And a safe touch down…
I just need a chance to fly
A chance to cry
And a long
Bye bye..
