On and On Lyrics

Oh my my my I'm feeling high My moneys gone I'm all alone The world is turnin' Oh what a day What a day whay a day Peace and blessings manifest with every lesson learn, If your knowledge were your wealth then it will be well earn If we were made in his image then call us by our names Most intellects do not believe in god but they fear us just the same Oh on and on and on and on Whew on and on and on and on I go on and on and on and on Ohh on and on and on and on I was born under water with 3 dollars and 6 dimes Yeah you might laugh 'cause you did not do your math Na qua 2..3. Damn, yall feel that? Oh... Qua 2..3. The world keeps turning Oh what a day what a day what a day The man that knows something knows that he knows nothing at all Does it seem colder in your summertime and hotter in your fall If we were made in his image then call us by our names Most intellects do not believe in god but they fear us just the same Oh on and on and on and on On and on and on and on I go on and on and on and on On and on and on and on I am feeling kinda hungry 'cause my high is coming down Don't feed me yours 'cause your food does not endure I think i need a cup of tea, the world keeps burnin' Oh what a day, what a day what a day You rush into destruction 'cause you don't have nothin' left The mothership can't save you so your ass is goin' get it If we were made in his image then call us by our names Most intellects do not believe in god but they fear us just the same Oh on and on and on and on On and on and on and on Ooh ooh wee on and on and on and on On and on and on and on

Meaning of On and On

“On and On” is a raw exploration of disillusionment and cyclical struggle, fueled by a potent mix of introspection and frustration. Erykah Badu’s voice conveys a feeling of being adrift – “moneys gone,” “all alone,” and grappling with the relentless turning of the world alongside a diminishing high. The lyrics delve into themes of poverty, societal fear, and spiritual questioning, referencing both material hardship (“born under water”) and intellectual arrogance ("most intellects do not believe in god"). The repeated mantra "on and on" embodies a weary acceptance of an unending cycle of challenges and anxieties, underscored by sharp critiques of those who wield power through ignorance and fear. Ultimately, the song suggests a desperate need for connection and understanding amidst a chaotic world, urging listeners to acknowledge their own vulnerabilities and resist destructive impulses.
