Kinda wish I had voted for “…And On” now. Love how simultaneously pretty and sarcastic the overlaid vocals are.

Post controversial opinion: I prefer Badu's shorter tracks.

Impossible to chose but I would have thrown a vote at “…& On” for this section:
I remember when I wentWith Momma to the WashateriaRemember how I felt the dayI first started my periodRemember there in school one dayI learned I was inferiorWater in my cerealBadu in your stereoHolla if you hear me thoughRemembering is good if you don'tI remember when I wentWith Momma to the WashateriaRemember how I felt the dayI first started my periodRemember there in school one dayI learned I was inferiorWater in my cerealBadu in your stereoHolla if you hear me thoughRemembering is good if you don'tLet it be the fear in youWrap ya head with this material
which moves so gracefully between the quotidian and the profound
