Ari Lennox - Static Lyrics

This song is not about love or a man. Yall need to wake up. She speaking to the soul

I love this album so much. Gives me chills.

Soul personified💖

And yet again, the song with the least views in the album ends up being my favourite...

She has been all day every day lately I fell in love with her Badu sexy twist style music St. Petersburg FL. Flip aka Choppa

"maybe I'm too cheap, maybe I'm too broke" 😩

Best album of the year with "Paint it" from LUCKY DAY

Dam y'all I wanted to hear her album because if the soul train controversy but gosh all these songs sounds like Erykah Badu

..... and the instrumental... Yup... Love. This. Track👏🏾👏🏾

I just loooooovvvvveeee this song.... As aSinger/songwriter I love the play on and delivery of the lyrics... As a listener I'm loving da groove girl!!! Real, cute, sexy... Well done!!! Listened to some of the other tracks on album... Most are great but this is my FAVORITE!
I hardly ever leave comment but the artist and lyricist NEED to know.... "This is a great track!!!" x

Am I the only one who prefers the live version to this? The live version is amazing all around.

me encanta <3

I think she is GREAT!!! WHEN SHE RETURN THE US I WILL CHECK OUT HER SHOW!!!

I just realized that she is not in fact holding a ciggerate like I thought.........im so confused now

In the end of the song I heard white boys lol

Love this song

My favorite song from her

This is 'Look into the Sky' by Ramp :,)

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, hey

You're in control love
Don't let the static drown us
You're in control love
How good you are, I know love

I can't get us ignored
Maybe I'm too cheap
Or maybe I'm too broke
For settling for your
Time eager needs, cliché HD
You're perfect for me

When you're confined like a Sony in '99
Pay your strong fund, get the job done, baby you're the one
When you're confined like a Sony in '99
And your strong fund, get the job done, baby you're the one

You're in control love
Don't let the static drown us
You're in control love
How good you are, I know love, I know love

Baby your issues are foggy
But I don't care, I need you near
I can fill you with distant memory and time
You'll help me sleep, haunting my life
You're perfect for me

When you're confined like a Sony in '99
And your strong fund, get the job done, baby you're the one
When you're confined like a Sony in '99
And your strong fund, get the job done, baby you're the one

You're in control love
Don't let the static drown us
You're in control love
How good you are, I know love, I know love

Hey you're white noise, white noise
Give it all to me
White noise, white noise
I hear ya callin'
White noise, white noise
Give it all to me
White noise, white noise
I hear ya callin'
White noise, white noise
Give it all to me
White noise, white noise
I hear ya callin'
White noise, white noise
I hear ya callin'
White noise, white noise

As long as it's you
As long as it's you, you, you
Hey, as long as it's you
As long as it's yours

I needed this on repeat for a minute

Her talent is to make anything sound amazing. What you think she gon do with some good lyrics?

This song reminds me of a boy he’s really handsome named Nathaniel makhi barnhill

"STAY IN 'C-O-N-T-R-O-L' QUEEN!!!!"

I wonder what inspired the beat of this track. Its so african, Kinda reminds me of a beat I'd hear on a seTshwana song while they dance. Love Love it

Yass🇲🇿

Whole album dope🔥🔥🔥💞

I need a instrumental

Ari's whole Shea Butter Baby album needs to be in Insecure or I'll be fighting

For everybody who thinks it’s about a guy, it’s not 😂 I went to her show a few days ago & she said it’s actually about her & her issues with anxiety & how she’s basically telling herself she’s in control & she accepts herself as is & don’t let the static drown you gaddamit 😂💯 I love it even more now

Wow that’s dope

Also parallel to TVs and clear signals

And this makes the track even more brilliant... Great play on words 😊

Dinero Nelson hell yea makes it more amazing and meaningful

This song is absolutely one of my favorites! The beat gives me a Dave Matthews Band vibe!! You go Ari!

Been waiting on this song since she played it on her Instagram live. It's so good!🥰

This album gets better as I replay it...Ari vs SZA

@MrGreyjeep its a question if preference not competition...before you get on youtube and start readin stuff from months ago you should do your research. You may actually discover that competitions in music makes music more popular...common music sense 101

@MrGreyjeep lol you a goofy dude man...my first comment is exactly what i was doing clearly, comprehensive skills seem to be sub par

Ari is way better

child this song can staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay on repeat!

all I want is to find love, play this on top of the hill and star gaze with my soul mate, is that too much to ask

Me too... 😔😔

Great album. Can't wait to see her at The Roots Picnic.

Legend tell it when u listen with your ears you might hear quite static

SHE WHITE HOT !!! BUT I BEEN PLAYING HER MUSIC SINCE THE BEGGINING!! AINT NO DOUBT IN MY SPIRIT THAT SHE WILL BE. AROUND FOR A VERY VERY LONG TIME, THAMK YOU , THANK YOU THANK YOU.. ARI FOR SHARING YOUR WONDERFUL , PRECIOUS, AND OH SOOOO AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL GIFT WITH US......💖

"you're perfect for me".... that line just gets me!!!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

♥️♥️♥️plz perform this in Orlando ♥️♥️♥️

Is it Masego on the sax here too?

This is lowkey the best song on the album once you digest how amazing it actually is.

@Aisha Reid Facts, _BMO_ was definitely made for radio play.

ON ME!!!! THIS SONG IS A CLASSIC

OZZING SOUL

Agree 💯

🔥 tune something to play often mabey back to back the way I do.

Get her up there on the charts man. We hardly have any female singers to listen to. No for Skinny bone Grande 😂

I feel this here <3

Make a music video with this song ari🎷✨😍

How’s a song so beautiful?such a vibe.

Aretha 2.0

Everytime I hear this song...I love it more & more

I really wonder what space she was in when she created this masterpiece 🔥

She said she wrote it about her anxiety issues

Yer 💚

I love your voice, this album though🔥

This is facts ! And I am so appreciative of her for bringing this sound back! 👌👌

Stop doing this shit. Let people be.

@Do Work Hill sorry but erykah badu is far from legendary, she made one good album, the rest was okay besides a couple of singles here and there

Her voice is nostalgic damn🚀💕🔮

On repeat🙌🏾🎧
