    Myintrotoletyouknow - Outkast


    "Myintrotoletuknow"

    [Big Boi]
    Time and time again see I be thinking about that future
    Back in the day when we slaves up everyone's a cool ass n*gga
    But now we vultures, slam my n*gga back out
    To make his ass black out, or even pull your f*cking head
    To make his whole crew believers, you're harder than a bitch full of d*cks
    But that don't be sounding like he's sh*t to me
    See now in the ghetto or should I say Lakewood
    You better be strapped cuz them n*ggaz over there just ain't good
    Just being a hustla, serving on all your customers
    Rent was due on the 1st of the month so I'm hustling
    I buy you 50 box of Phillies at the Citgo
    And n*ggaz be wanting drinks and shit from the f*cking sto', yo
    But that's aight, tho', cuz I be getting paid
    And every trip I take, there's a dollar to be made
    I'm digging through my pockets for my earnings got you five
    Deep, there it is, now it's time to smoke that jive

    [Chorus:]
    If you smoke a dime, then I'll smoke a dime [2x]

    Hey 'Dre, Let 'em know what's up

    [Andre]
    I've been slipping, slowly but surely
    N*ggaz I used to hang wit wants to act like they don't know me
    Come and listen to my story, I gots alot of sh*t up on my mind
    I wipe the boo-boo from my brain then I finish your behind
    Take a number, I caught you in a slumber
    I hit you for a lick, I'm in the slammer for the summer
    But now it's the fall, I'm having a ball, making my nickels act strong
    To my n*ggaz got to servin when they beep and when they call
    I got the Peter Bong and plus that Mary Jane
    I'm rolling reefer out of a Regal, how could I refrain
    From being rough, from being tough, from being dangerous
    I'm hangin wit the P.A. N*ggaz, ain't no gankin us
    See you can try, if you try, if you don't, you don't
    If you wanna battle, it's either that you will or you won't
    See that rap sh*t is really just like selling smoke
    If you got some fly sh*t, yo, n*ggaz gonna how we tote
    Dope, is not what I be slanging on this track
    N*ggaz don't comprehend that it be deeper that Cadillacs
    You know that, right, you bite, you f*cked up
    You won't be getting away this time, I'm real as hell, so what's up
    I rip sh*t wit pimp sh*t, I'm flinging it from the south
    Talk bad about the A town, I'll bust you in your f*cking mouth

    [Chorus]

    Liberation - Outkast

    "Liberation"
    (feat. Erykah Badu, Big Rube, Cee-Lo)
    And there's a, and there's a
    And there's a, and there's a, finnne.. linnne
    Too late to pray that I'm on it..
    Ya, yeah, yeahhhh
    [OutKast]
    Y'all, uh-huh, y'all
    [Andre Benjamin]
    And there's a fine line between love and hate you see
    Came way too late, but baby I'm on it..
    And there's a fine line between love and hate you see
    Came way too late, but baby I'm on it..
    Can't worry bout, what a n*gga think now see
    That's Liberation and baby I want it..
    Can't worry bout, what anotha n*gga think
    Now that's Liberation and baby I want it..
    [Big Boi]
    (Let me hear it, let me hear it, let me hear those, let me hear those)
    How many times I, sit back and contemplate
    I'm fresh off the dank, but I'm tellin my story..
    My relationship, with my folks is give and take
    And I done took so much, not givin my glory
    Now have a choice to be who you wants to be
    It's left uppa to me, and my momma n'em told me (yes she did)
    I said I have a choice to be who you wants to be
    It's left uppa to me, and my momma n'em told me
    [Cee-Lo]
    No, nooo, noooooooo
    I'm so tired, it's been so long - struggling, hopelessly
    Seven and forty days.. heyyy
    Ohhhh, I sacrifice every breath I breathe
    To make you believe, I'd give my life awayyyy
    Oh lord, I'm so tired, I'm so tired
    My feet feel like I walked most of the road on my owwwwn
    All on my owwwwn, weeeeeee..
    We alive or we ain't livin, that's why I'm givin until it's gone
    Cause I don't wanna be alone (I don't wanna be alone)
    I don't wanna be alone.. yeahhhheeeeee
    If there's anything I can say, to help you find your way
    Touch your soul, make it whole, the same for you and I..
    There's not a minute that goes by that I don't believe
    that you die.. but I can feel it in the wind
    The beginning or the end
    But people keep your head to the skyyyyy
    [singers in background over interlude]
    Shake that load off, shake that load off [16X]
    [Erykah Badu]
    Folk in your face, you're a superstar
    N*ggaz hang around cause of who you are
    You get a lot of love cause of what you got
    Say they happy for you but they really not
    Sell a lot of records and you rollin in
    Swoll up in the spot, now you losin friends
    All you wanna do is give the world your heart
    but the label tried to make you compromise your art
    You make a million dollars, make a million mo'
    First class probably treat you like a n*gga po'
    You wanna say "Wait!" but you're scared to ask
    as your world starts spinning and it's moving fast
    Try to stay sane, it's the price of fame
    Spending your life trying to numb the pain
    You shake that load off and sing a song
    Liberate the minds, then you go on home..
    [Big Rube]
    I must admit, they planted a lot of things
    in the brains and the veins of my strain
    Makes it hard to refrain, from the host of cocaine
    From them whores, from the flame
    From a post in the game
    Makes it hard to maintain focus
    They're from the glock rounds, and lockdowns, and berries
    The seeds that sow, get devoured by the same locusts
    Cause it's a hard row to hoe
    if your ass don't move, and the rain don't fall
    And the ground just dry
    But the roots are strong, so some survive
    So you're surprised, now I'm bustin cries
    You got more juice than Zeus
    Slangin lightnin tryin to frighten
    Plains dwellers, of the Serengeti
    But get beheaded when you falsely dreaded
    Melanin silicon and collagen injected
    Dissectin my pride, fool I don't wanna get it started
    We be the lionhearted, without a fantasy
    It's like that red sprite, you can't imagine it
    unless you lookin at the canvas of life
    and not through the peephole of mortality
    Single minded mentality
    Gettin over on loopholes
    Gettin paid two-fold on technicalities
    Clickin your heels, scared to bust how you feel
    Pack the steel
    Pickin cotton from the killing fields with no toe
    I don't we in Kansas no mo' though
    Midwest or Dirty South
    Clean dressed or dirty mouth
    Whether robbin preachers or killin Poor Righteous Teachers
    You a scared demon
    Shouldn't be allowed to spread semen
    And your cowardly lies never defyin the jackals who babble
    Runnin with they pack, tail between your legs
    Though the man on your head say the story
    As you downplay your glory
    Cacklin, helpin the shacklin of your brethern happen
    Just by rappin..
    LIBERTAD..

    Extraterrestrial - Outkast

    "Extraterrestrial"

    [Big Boi:]

    Peep what I say
    Everyday--the sun sets just like clockwork
    Put the glock to work
    And puttin the body to standstills
    Man it kills me
    Taking that life is like taking a shit
    Hit or miss--n*ggas are playing God
    Trying to rob and steal
    That's why ya gotta guard ya grill
    Like a barbecue--cause them harming you
    Are just like honeybees swarming you
    Vocally arming you was my responsibility
    It's killing me--thinking that all these n*ggas
    See they fly sh*t--thinking they steven segall an
    Balling--falling to the wayside when ya try to call
    I've fallen--when we was little nappy headed n*ggas in the projects
    But now they carjacks, wait on income tax and unsafe sex
    They get the tecs to flex--like solo for tha lo-lo
    Smoke same thing no-no--not this time
    N*ggas around my way can rhyme
    So f*ck that country sh*t--we done a bunch of sh*t
    And yes ya heard of this--out of this world like E.T.
    Coming across ya T.V.
    Extraterrestrial--straight from ATL.

    (Know what I'm saying--Like that--Yeah)

    [Chorus:]

    Out of this world
    Are you alien?
    [repeat 3x]

    Out of this world.......

    [Andre:]

    Right now I'm smiling
    Taking advantage of this moment
    Cause there might not be another soon
    Holding on to memories like roller coaster handle bars
    tightly cause I'm slightly off my rocker--But to you
    I may appear to be your average joe
    But little do you know
    that even joe got problems that he gots to joust with
    Floating in this game of life
    Despite how out of place you may feel
    In this race oh you just can't quit
    Ain't that a bitch--that being heat
    I'm on the beat like cops
    Only cultivate the stable dirt when I skeet my drops
    No concentrating knocking other n*ggas out the box
    Why?--Cause in a sense
    See we all be kind of fly
    Just can't be scared to spread your wings
    Head to better things
    Maybe the mockingbird and nightingale
    they want to sing--keeping this thing alive
    To the table's what we bring
    We like hailstorms and blizzards in the middle of the spring
    Extraterrestrial

    (Out of this world--Things like that--Yo)

    [Chorus]

    B.O.B - Outkast

    [Dre]
    1, 2.. 1, 2, 3; yeah!
    Inter-national, underground
    Thunder pounds when I stomp the ground (Woo!)
    Like a million elephants with silver back orangutans
    You can't stop a train
    Who want some? Don't come un-pre-pared
    I'll be there, but when I leave there
    Better be a household name
    Weather man tellin' us it ain't gon' rain
    So now we sittin' in a drop-top, soaken' wet
    In a silk suit, tryin' not to sweat
    Hits somersaults without the net
    But this'll be the year that we won't forget
    One-Nine-Nine-Nine, and brutha anything goes, be whatchu wanna be
    Long as you know consequences, to give and for livin' defenses
    Too hot, I'm jumpin' jail
    Too low to dig, I might just touch hell
    HOT! Get a life, now they gon' sell
    Then I might catch you a spell, look at what came in the mail
    A scale and some Arm and Hammer, so grow grid and some baby mama
    Black Cadillac and a pack of pampers, stack of question with no answers
    Cure for cancer, cure for AIDS
    Make a n*gga wanna stay onto it for days
    Get back home, things are wrong
    We're not really able to spend all alone
    before he left, (?), to a ball of power
    Thousands of thousands miles per hour
    Hello, ghetto, let your brain breath,
    believe there's always more
    Ahhhhh!
    Chorus: 2X
    [Dre] Don't pull the thang out, unless you plan to bang
    {Choir} Bombs over Baghdad!
    [Dre] Yeah! Ha ha yeah!
    Don't even bang unless you plan to hit something
    {Choir} Bombs over Baghdad!
    {Dre} Yeah! Uhh-huh
    [Big Boi]
    Uno, dos, tres, it's on
    Did you ever think a pimp rock a microphone?
    Like that there boy and will still stay street
    Big things happen every time we meet
    Like a track team, crack fiend, dyin to geek
    Outkast bumpin' up and down the street
    Slam back, Cadillac, 'bout five n*gga deep
    Seventy-five emcee's freestylin' to the beat
    Cause we get krunk, stay drunk, at the club
    Should have bought an ounce, but you caught the dub
    Should have held back, but you throwed the punch
    'Spose to meet your girl but you packed a lunch
    No D to-the U to-the G for you
    Got a son on the way by the name of Bamboo
    Got a little baby girl four year, Jordan
    Never turn my back on my kids for them
    Should have hit it (hit it) quit it (quit it) rag (rag) top (top)
    Before you read up, get a laptop
    Make a business for yourself, boy, set some goals
    Make a fair dime out of dusty coal
    Record number four, but we on a roll
    Hold up, slow up, stop, control
    Like Janet, planets, Stankonia is only
    A movin' like floor commin' straight to Florida
    Lock all your windows then block the quarters
    Pullin' off on bell 'cause a whippins in order
    Like a three piece fist, 'fore I cut your daughter
    Yo quiero Taco Bell, then I hit the border
    Penny pap rappers tryin' to get the five
    I'm a microphone fiend tryin' to stay alive
    When you come to A-town well you better not hide
    cause the Dungeon Family gonna ride
    Hah!
    Chorus: 2X
    [Dre] Don't pull the thang out, unless you plan to bang
    {Choir} Bombs over Baghdad!
    [Dre] Yeah! Ha ha yeah!
    Don't even bang unless you plan to hit something
    {Choir} Bombs over Baghdad!
    {Dre} Yeah! Uhh-huh

    Vibrate - Outkast

    [Hook]
    Every boy and girl, woman and man
    Muthafuck the wagon, come join the band
    When you feel you've done about the best you can
    Vibrate, vibrate, vibrate, higher!
    [Repeat]
    Sometimes when it's late at night
    And you have no one to talk to
    [Verse 1]
    Here's what you don', you go through that
    The Love Below start talkin' to ya
    Raggedy cell phone 'bout two or three times
    Tracy ain't home, Tina ain't home
    [Hook]
    [Verse 2]
    Desensitizing the very thing or thang that brought
    You into this motherfucker in the first place
    The circumcision has already begun
    Because Mother Earth is dying and we continue to fuck her to death
    And when I say "motherfucker" I do mean "motherfucker"
    And yes, God is watching you, but no need to be embarrassed
    Play with your own score sheet, become the master of your own..
    For the future is in your hands, no the future is in your hand
    [Hook]Play with your own score sheet

    True Dat - Outkast

    Operatin under the crooked american system too long
    Outkast, pronounced out cast
    Adjective meaning homeless, or unaccepted in society
    But let’s look deeper than that
    Are you an outkast?
    If you understand and feel the basic principles and
    Fundamental truths contained within this muzik, you probably are
    If you think it’s all about pimpin hoes and slammin cadillac do’s
    You probably a cracker, or a nigga that think he a cracker
    Or maybe just don’t understand
    An outkast is someone who is not considered to be part of the normal world
    He is looked at differently
    He is not accepted because of his clothes, his hair
    His occupation, his beliefs or his skin color
    Now look at yourself, are you an outkast? I know I am
    As a matter of fact, fuck being anything else
    It’s only so much time left in this crazy world
    Wake up niggaz and realize what’s goin on around you
    Poisonin of the food and water
    Tamperin of cigarettes
    Disease engineering control over your life
    Take back your existence or die like a punk
    This is big rube, sayin right on to the real, and death to the fakers
    Peace out

    All or None - Pearl Jam

    Its a hopeless... situation
    And Im starting to believe
    That this hopeless... situation
    Is what Im trying to achieve
    But I try
    To run on
    Towards
    All or none,... all or none
    Heres the selfless confession
    Leading me back to war
    Can we help that,.. our destinations
    Are the ones weve been before
    I still try
    To run on
    Towards all
    Or none,... all or none
    To myself i... surrender
    To the one Ill never please
    I still try,.. to run on
    But I still try,.. to run on
    But its
    All or none,... all or none.

    No Way - Pearl Jam

    Here's a token of my openness
    Of my need to not disappear
    How I'm feeling, so revealing to me
    I found my mind too clear
    I just need someone to be there for.. me
    I just want someone to be there for.. me

    All the static in my attic-a
    Shoots down my sciatic nerve
    To the ocean of my platitudes
    Longitudes, latitudes, it's so absurd
    I just need someone to be there for..
    I just want someone to be there for..
    Someone to be there for..

    'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
    I'm not trying to make a difference
    I'll stop trying to make a difference
    No way (2X)

    Ooh, let's call in an angel (3X)

    'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
    I'm not trying to make a difference
    I'll stop trying to make a difference
    No way
    'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
    I’m not trying to make a difference
    I’m not trying to make a difference
    No way
    No way, no way
    Let's call in an angel
    Who's calling an angel?
