[Verse 1: André 3000]
Now, sittin' in the bathtub, listenin' to the Isley
Brothers and others outside my door, want to despise me
Reminds me, that everyone ain't cool, the world is jealous
Never could understand, when my mama use to tell us
"Don't take your food outside around your friends, unless you got enough to feed the neighborhood"
The play has just began, follow me, now (Follow me, now)
Act 1 Scene 2, the date 1/1/96 the time, I don't know
Mood disturbed, Dre goes on, to say, they tryin' to get over
Like them n***as with the blinker on, I got my thinker on
So, I'm like 'Word, however you want to act, is fine', that is real as fishing rods
I might be kissin' God but I'm still in the battle
So if you got cattle, you best be fasting
For 7 days and 7 nights, we everlasting
20 years young, on a quest, to get my class ring
Just for them fhite wolks, I will, if it's the last thing
I do

[Interlude: Big Boi]
Yeah, slick, knowhatI'msayin', I'm gonna tell you like this
Just 'cause I live the apartment don't mean you can keep puttin' these notes under my windshield, I'm tellin' you
Shorty gon' bust your ass about that shit

[Verse 2: Big Boi]
Check it, hey y'all, hey y'all, hey y'all, hoes
Back up in this bitch rippin' tracks like I'm supposed
Tommy and Ralph Lauren don't like n***as to wear they clothes
Where your proof at? Who's that? Talking shit like those
Keepin' the rumors up, I wish I lived in a fuckin' cave
I ride the streets in Lexus, all these crows they wanna be saved
Go to college, get a job 'cause all you want to do is shake
I use to hit Club Nikki's but I gave that shit a break
Just like Maaco, Waco, burn it to the ground
I bet you eatin' that pork when your partners ain't around
Backdraft, scenes of Shaft splackin' these hoes just like he's supposed to
Quote you: "Big Boi is the pimp ass n***a that formed you"
Like pottery, sloppily, playin' hoes like lotteries
OutKast did the dirt and now you swear your shit is poppin' see
You bit (beats), we makin' hits, so give me your flag back
I'm living in the SWATS so you may call me Daddy Fat Sax
Yeah, you know what I'm sayin'? Like this

[Verse 3]
[Big Boi]
One in a million men passing the J off in the culture
Don't y'all smoke a couple of pounds and get tore up y'all
And tear the devil headquarters down to the grizzound
Is how we hit the house and puff a couple of good pounds
Of good weed, PeeWee, my n***a Little Beewee
We need a 50 box of Phillies and some bouncin' titties
From the Magic, the Flame
Nikki's too, and share in Sequel's
Never payin' for no pussy
You can shake it, you can keep it to yourself, hoe

[André 3000]
You left your morals at the door, when you stepped in, crept in
Naked as babies at the beach, so
Now you wonder why your n***a done bust you in the fore
Head, ain't no respect there, so now you just assed out like breech
Delivery, slivery got you swung on
These types of things go on from here to Bowen Home to London
England, Wall Street to y'all street
Sometimes I get bewildered and it throws a n***a like me off beat
But I'm back on it
Because we lasting 'ever, sound good, don't it?
Rattling your trunks like FAMU and the component
Said that's it—man, fuck that shit
On and on and on and I'm out
