[00:06.58][Intro: Big Rube] | |
[00:08.09] | Conceive true deception multiplied a million fold |
[00:12.06] | Visualize the yin and yang in a battle so intense |
[00:14.94] | That we get em confused |
[00:16.45] | The resident evil specialize in misconstruing |
[00:19.46] | We wanna be at a presidential level -- what are we doin' |
[00:22.62] | Fooling ourselves, clowning ourselves, playing ourselves |
[00:26.35] | By not being ourselves |
[00:28.63] | We can't babble no more than we can bob our head offbeat |
[00:31.52] | Nimrod by the time we forty cause we can't get off meat |
[00:35.39] | While we ask no reason for the misplacement of the season |
[00:38.29] | Look at the picture that's painted |
[00:40.17] | Tainted as the mind who's blinded to the point |
[00:42.60] | Where Sodomites get all the rights |
[00:44.27] | We fall for fights with fisticuffs |
[00:46.34] | Get pissed enough to miss the bus |
[00:48.43] | It disgusts me to see my folks run up on |
[00:50.75] | I say stand up on deception of time all of Revelations |
[00:54.25] | And recognize this mind on the reality of horror |
[00:56.65] | Known as mankind |
[00:58.14] | Jesus and his twelve disciples make thirteen |
[01:00.63] | A righteous number of righteous men |
[01:02.85] | Even Judas the Betrayer came true in the end |
[01:05.41] | The Devil say the end is the beginning |
[01:07.99] | They teach that we were the product of incest |
[01:10.29] | Invest no level of self into their system of Paganomics |
[01:13.45] | Stand with us and don't look back upon it |
[01:15.72] | Just face this mindstate |
[01:17.53] | Otherwise Babylon |
[01:19.15] | |
[01:23.19][Hook: Debra Killings] | |
[01:24.06] | Like memories of yesterday... |
[01:30.69] | |
[01:32.70] | "Ninety-six gonna be that year"... |
[01:52.66][Verse 1: Andre 3000] | |
[01:53.03] | I bet you never heard of a playa with no game |
[01:55.69] | Told the truth to get what I want, but shot it with no shame |
[01:58.43] | Take this music dead serious while others entertain |
[02:01.20] | I see they're making their paper so I guess I can't complain |
[02:03.89] | Or can I? I feel they're disrespecting the whole thang |
[02:06.79] | Them hooks like selling dope to black folks |
[02:08.99] | And I choke when the food they serving ain't tasting right |
[02:11.31] | My stomach can't digest it even when I bless it |
[02:13.77] | I'm confessing one more lesson from the South, we in the house tonight |
[02:16.69] | Now hootie who wants to oppose? Suppose |
[02:19.44] | We rolls through Headland and Delowe |
[02:21.16] | Where me and my niggas would pass the flow |
[02:22.47] | And got down for ours like hind catchers |
[02:24.45] | My mind catches flashbacks to the black past |
[02:26.33] | While mind close niggas laugh at |
[02:27.72] | The Southern slang, finger waves and Mojo chicken wangs |
[02:30.43] | I grew up on booty shake we did not know no better thang |
[02:32.92] | So go 'head and, diss it, while real hop-hippers listen |
[02:36.05] | Started by Afrika Bambaata, so you and your partner |
[02:38.90] | Gather your thoughts |
[02:40.00][Hook: Debra Killings] | |
[02:40.41] | Something's gotta change |
[02:42.76] | Sounds of laughter and happiness turn my teardrops to rain |
[02:47.96] | Been bearing this burden for too many of my days |
[02:53.79] | Looks like breezes of Autumn done finally blew my way |
[02:59.56] | Like memories of yesterday |
[03:01.89][Verse 2: Big Boi] | |
[03:02.28] | Uhh, born Antwan Patton but my partners they call me Big Boi |
[03:04.21] | It's the nigga the B-I-G, be speaking the truth not talking that shit boy |
[03:06.88] | I'm thinking of checking my traps and busting my raps |
[03:09.17] | And throwing them craps |
[03:09.91] | 7 Eleven is no convenience, you pumping your gas but watching your back |
[03:12.39] | For the robbing crew; thinking they're robbing you, you must be cautious |
[03:15.34] | To staying up on your game and pimping these crows, you must be flawless |
[03:18.24] | Like Mortal Kombat, but ****ing these wombats got you dizzy |
[03:20.56] | My nigga you know if I wanna be playin |
[03:21.82] | But runnin up on me like you miss me |
[03:23.57] | You catching the wrong vibe, packing your shit and rolling your eyes back |
[03:26.49] | Flexin up on the corner tossin your dice and rollin your Cadillac |
[03:29.31] | But man it seems I'm reaching out and touching the wrong nigga |
[03:31.93] | Don't expect it to be pimping get your index off the trigger |
[03:34.64] | As we bust, us, we leavin em in the dust |
[03:37.44] | So keep that caine up out of your nose |
[03:38.88] | I said my piece and then I hush |
[03:40.39] | As the calendar keeps flippin', niggas dippin' |
[03:45.41][Hook] | |
[03:47.00] | Something's gotta change |
[03:49.45] | Sounds of laughter and happiness turn my teardrops to rain |
[03:54.94] | Been bearing this burden for too many of my days |
[04:00.95] | Looks like breezes of Autumn done finally blew my way |
[04:06.54] | Like memories of yesterday |
[04:09.05][Verse 3: Andre 3000] | |
[04:09.49] | Dearly beloved we are gathered like soap is to lather we come clean |
[04:11.19] | Some issues need to be addressed like envelopes I mean |
[04:14.14] | Oh, like Liberty Bells, yes them bullets keep on ringing |
[04:16.75] | On fire like the Georgia mass choir we keep on sanging |
[04:19.55] | Bringing our folks closer together cause they severed us from the get green |
[04:22.11] | Light and we ain't gon' stop until we hit the big screen |
[04:25.16] | Psych, because no one is free when others are oppressed |
[04:27.78] | So, we hit the stage and then we fly back to our nest |
[04:30.73] | Growing old |
[04:31.12][Verse 4: Big Boi] | |
[04:31.35] | Like some eagles, people don't understand |
[04:32.84] | Just like their parents don't be caring |
[04:34.46] | I'm speaking bout you playing with that phony stuff you sharing |
[04:37.08] | In your raps Mercedes Benz and all your riches |
[04:39.09] | Thinking you got it but get it, get it but you ain't pimping no bitches |
[04:41.96] | Cause you fall in; falling like leaves into driveways |
[04:44.81] | Isn't it lovely smoking good and sloppy head on highways |
[04:47.55] | Fridays are tight but Saturday just makes it old |
[04:50.27] | Winter nights are hot warm enough to feed your soul |
[04:53.04] | Growing old |
[04:53.98][Hook] | |
[04:54.45] | Something's gotta change |
[04:56.59] | Sounds of laughter and happiness turn my teardrops to rain |
[05:02.02] | Been bearing this burden for too many of my days |
[05:07.80] | Looks like breezes of Autumn done finally blew my way |
[05:13.65] | Like memories of yesterday(2x) |
[06:07.04][Outro] | |
[06:08.74] | See all them leaves must fall down, growing old |
[06:12.14] | Fat titties turn to teardrops as fat ass turns to flab |
[06:14.98] | Sores that was open wounds eventually turn to scab |
[06:17.70] | Trees bright and green turn yellow brown |
[06:19.87] | Autumn caught em, see all them leaves must fall down, growin' old(2x) |
