(featuring Erykah Badu) and the infectious tribal and disco influenced "Ghetto Woman" are purely irresistible with their groovy instrumentation and attitude-filled, introspective lyrics ("Hey sister am I good enough for your heaven / Say will your God accept me in my black and white / Will he approve the way I'm made? / Or should I reprogram the programming and get down?" she sings on "Q.U.E.E.N").
