Erykah badu and Andre 3000’s first date was at a Bobby hemmitt lecture. Her line about us being Gods is something Bobby spoke a lot on.

Cypher is also 0 in Supreme Mathematics. This becomes a triple entendre also linking back to the 360 degrees in 3 dollars and 6 dimes. You didn't catch that tho did ya? Also, it's not a mystery that the line "I was born underwater" is referring to pisces, as in her song "... and On" where the lyrics "said i'm a Pisces, Zika deka del, well well I'm raisin' hell" and "Two fish, one swimmin' up stream
One swimmin' down livin' in a dream" appear in the second verse. the 3 and 6 in the line "3 Dollars and 6 dimes" add up to 9 which in supreme mathematics is Born/Birth.

I STILL remember exactly where I was when I first heard this: in the parking lot of St. Luke COGIC in Chicago back in what... 1997?? Me and my gf at the time were FROZEN... just sitting there with our eyes wide like "...OMG... WHO IS - I was like: "this must be an old Billy Holiday song that somebody remixed." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂... no lie... I thought this was some vintage Billy Holiday. Erykah Badu SNAPPED ON THIS

[MichelleFaithLove]

Beautiful song that I play at least weekly. Thank you Badu for your music. 👏🏼👏🏼

[remarkablyweirdmarcus]

This song used to scare me as a kid and it sort of still does

[ronGs]

I thought she was saying it as in she was born under water with 360 degrees of wisdom knowledge and understanding

[Itspatwiththebone]

tell me why last semester my teacher had us reading Socrates. As I’m doing that assignment I’m listening and was like yo that sounds familiar 🤯

[exctasyloot]

Born underwater is a reference to the water in the womb when carrying child actually . Peace God .

[zoeqdts]

Wow this song is deep Imma do my research

[Kara-fliw]

The line I was born under water was preferencing the womb, when she says "$3.60" she means 360 which is a complete circle, meaning that she was born complete. She talked about it before.

[spankytc]

I seen this YouTuber call her and tell her about her phone been leaked the number she was a nice lady to him. Tell him thank you so much. I love you she’s awesome awesome person.

[desraw]

When she was asking did you do your math was she referring to quantum physics? Also when she said she was born under water with 3 dollars and six dime I thought she was saying she was born here as a 9 ether being

[hyeng]

She’s referring to the womb not her star sign

[NathanGiordano]

A cipher is a person place or thing when your talking to your family or your friends that’s cipher a circle when y’all speaking that’s a chyper that’s why when people rap they say let’s get in a chyper come over here and get in this free style with us ya know/ 3 dollars and 6 dimes/ 90/90/90 wisdom / knowledge/ understanding/ I was born under water/ is her saying she was born from the fluid in the womb/ idk who made this but who ever isn’t very knowledgeable on the 5 percent nation the of gods and earth wich she is no longer apart of but if y’all are interested look that up as well as WUTANG slangs the same words in there lyrics rza gza odb everyone is a god /word I entered with peace I leave with peace, peace and if anyone truly know you won’t fight this

[ninjachannel]

Pretty much every single person of age when it came out knows shes singing about Divine Mathematics.

[americanjulamaghan]

Also according to the Egyptian astronomical solar calendar, the present time that we are living in the time of Pisces.

3 dollars 6 dimes

36 in gematria = Adam (mankind- male and female)

If we were made in his image call us by our name. Adam is in the image of the creator. 🙂
