The Healer is my favorite song off her newest album, and this is a slightly remixed version, simply adding a verse by Pharoahe Monch. The refrain is amazing, listing the names of God in various languages (note I didn't say religions intentionally, just languages because whatever God or god or the prime-mover is, he or she or it is universal).
Humdililah, Allah, Jehovah, Yahweh, Dios, Ma'at, Jah, Rastafari, Fire, Dance, Sex, Music, Hip Hop. It's bigger than religion, Hip Hop. It's bigger than my n!ggas, Hip Hop. It's bigger than the government.
Here she is explaining the inspiration for the song, produced by Madlib. Damn, she is beautiful.
