The Cell Lyrics

Girl came through, the light skin honey
With the cinnamon smell
Girl was so enticing baby
Make a nigga choose hell
Mama hopped up on cocaine
Daddy on spaceships with no brain
Sister gon' numb the pain the same
(Why?) Same DNA cell

Ooh you nasty baby, Ooh you nasty baby
Ooh you nasty baby, Ooh you nasty baby
Ooh you nasty baby, Ooh you nasty baby
Ooh you nasty baby, Ooh you nasty baby

She was turned out with shiny new thangs
(Diamond gold chains, diamond gold rings)
Centerfold spread, she tryin' to do thangs
See she be on that cough syrup in coke cans
20 inch rim man with no land
Pussy gon' numb the pain the same
(Why?) Same DNA strand

Ooh you nasty baby, Ooh you nasty baby
Ooh you nasty baby, Ooh you nasty baby
Ooh you nasty baby, Ooh you nasty baby
Ooh you nasty baby, Ooh you nasty baby

We're not well
We're not well
We can tell

Brenda done died with no name
Nickel bag coke to the brain
Will they ever find the vaccine?
Shitty damn damn baby bang
Rich man got the double barrell
Poor man got his back to the door
Code white stands for trouble
Shots from the po po

Girl came through, the light skin honey
With the cinnamon smell
Girl was so enticing baby
Make a nigga choose hell
Mama hopped up on cocaine
Daddy on spaceships with no brain
Sister gon' numb the pain the same
(Why?) Same DNA cell

Welcome to America
Home of the free

Brenda done died with no name
Nickel bag coke to the brain
Will they ever find the vaccine?
Shitty damn damn baby bang
Rich man got the double barrell
Poor man got his back to the door
Code white stands for trouble
Shots from the po po

i think this is about drugs

she says that drug dealing gets poors into trouble and hate and despair, while there are "rich dudes" gettin their double barrells on that poor ones.

She was turned out with shiny new thangs (Diamond gold chains, diamond gold rings) Centerfold spread, she tryin' to do thangs See she be on that cough syrup in coke cans 20 inch rim man with no land Pussy gon' numb the pain the same (Why?) Same DNA strand

here i quess she's talkin about how people sell themselves in many ways(not only prostitution but here she's talking about it i believe) to get drugs, and they sell their souls and pride away for it

Cover art for The Cell lyrics by Erykah Badu

I think this is about not being true to yourself. And selling out for different things; sex, money, or drugs.
