Has the vocal intro sample in J Dilla's "On And On" ever been identified?
I'm trying to identify the overlapping male/female voices at the beginning of J Dilla's "On And On Instrumental" (0:00–0:25).

I've spent some time isolating the intro and trying to make out the words. To my ears it sounds something like:
>"You said that ... to make you smile ... on and on ... you said that you were giving up ..."
The voices are layered and filtered enough that I don't trust that transcription, so I'm hoping someone might recognize the source instead.
I also found another version of the beat that seems to contain more of the same vocal before it gets chopped, but I still haven't been able to identify where it's from:

I think the main musical sample is Lenny Breau – "That's All" (1969)
Sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSNmORs5Eds

It appears to be the same source used in Dilla's "Secrets of the Sand"
However, the intro voices don't seem to come from that recording, so I'm specifically looking for the vocal sample at the start—not the main musical sample.
I've seen people mention Erykah Badu, Teena Marie, Tina Glover and Dwele, but I haven't found a specific track that matches the intro.
Have the vocal lyrics ever been identified? If anyone remembers an old forum discussion, sample breakdown, has a lead on the source, or any thoughts I'd really appreciate.
