Surprise! R&B singer and neo-soul originator Erykah Badu came out with a cover of Drake’s “Hotline Bling” on October 1, 2015.
After releasing a free mixtape in July 2015 consisting of “carefully and lovingly selected high frequency tones for the soul.”, Erykah released the Zach Witness-produced...
[Chorus]
You used to call me on my cellular device at night
You used to call me on my cellular device at night
And I know when that hotline bling, that could only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling, that could only mean one thing
[Verse 1]
Ever since I left the city you
Got a reputation for yourself now
Everybody knows and I feel left out
Boy, you got me down, and got me stressed out
Cause ever since I left the city, you
Started gettin' dressed and goin' out more
Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor
Hangin' with some dudes I've never seen before
[Chorus]
You used to call me on my cellular device at night
You used to call me on my cellular device at night
And I know when that hotline bling, that could only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling, that could only mean one thing
(Two one four, witness!)
[Verse 2]
Some people just said let it go
And on and on and such and such
But they don't ride around with us
No, no, no
Ain't that too bad we love to hang
And for a while, it stays the same
But now you tryna change the game
No, no, no
[Chorus]
You used to call me on my cellular device at night
You used to call me on my cellular device at night
And I know when that hotline bling, that could only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling, that could only mean one thing
[Bridge]
Late night when you need my love
Late night when you need my love
Late night when you need my love
Late night when you need my love
[Interlude]
