Outkast - 13th Floor Growing Old
Intro: Big Rube
Conceive True Deception Multiplied A Million Fold
Visualize The Yin And Yang In A Battle So Intense
That We Get Em Confused
The Resident Evil Specialize In Misconstruing
We Wanna Be At A Presidential Level -- What Are We Doing?
Foolin Ourself, Clownin Ourself, Playin Ourself
By Not Bein Ourself
We Can't Babble No More Than We Can Bob Our Head Offbeat
Nimrod By The Time We Forty Cause We Can't Get Our Meat
Look At The Picture That's Painted
While We Ask No Reason For The Misplacement Of The Season
Tainted As The Mind Who's Blinded To The Point
Where Sodomites Get All The Rights
We Fall For Fights With Fisticuffs
Get Pissed Enough To Miss The Bus
It Disgusts Me To See My Folks Run Up On
I Say Stand Up On Deception Of Time All Of Revelations
Known As Mankind
And Recognize This Mind On The Reality Of Horror
A Righteous Number Of Righteous Men
Even Judas The Betrayer Came True In The End
Jesus And His Twelve Disciples Make Thirteen
The Devil Say The End Is The Beginning
Invest No Level Of Self Into Their System Of Paganomics
They Teach That We Were The Product Of Incest
Stand With Us And Don't Look Back Upon It
Just Face This Mindstate
Otherwise Babylon...
(my Memories Of Yesterday...)
Cut And Scratched: "ninety-six Gonna Be That Year..."
Verse One: Andre
I Bet You Never Heard Of A Playa With No Game
Told The Truth To Get What I Want But Shot It With No Shame
Take This Music Dead Serious While Others Entertain
I See They Makin They Paper So I Guess I Can't Complain... Or Can I?
Them Hooks Like Sellin Dope To Black Folks
I Feel They Disrespectin The Whole Thang
And I Choke When The Food They Serve Ain't Tastin Right
My Stomach Can't Digest It Even When I Bless It
I'm Confessin One Mo' Lesson From The South We In The House Tonight
Now Hootie Who Wants To Oppose? Suppose
We Rolls Through Headland And Delowe
Where Me And My Niggaz Surpassed The Flow
And Got Down For Ours Like Hind Catchers
My Mind Catches Flashbacks To The Black Past
The Southern Slang, Figure Ways And Mojo Chicken Wangs
While My Close Niggaz Laugh At
I Grew Up On Booty Shake We Did Not Know No Better Thang
So Go 'head And, Diss It, While Real Hop-hippers Listen
Started By Afrikan Bambaata, So You And Your Potnah
Gather Your Thoughts
Musical Interlude: Debra Killings
(something's Gotta Change
Sounds Of Laughter And Happiness Come From Teardrops To Rain
Been Bearing This Burden For Too Many Of My Days
Like Memories Of Yesterday...)
Looks Like Breezes Of Autumn Done Finally Blew My Way
Verse Two: Big Boi
Uhh, Born Antwan Patton But My Potnahs They Call Me Big Boi
It's The Nigga The B-i-g, Be Speakin The Truth Not Talkin That Shit Boi
I'm Thinkin Of Checkin My Traps And Bustin My Raps And Throwin Them Craps
Seven-eleven Is No Convenience, You Pumpin Your Gas, They're Watchin Yo' Back
For The Robbin Crew, Thinkin They Robbin You, You Must Be Cautious
To Stand Up On Yo' Game And Pimpin These Crows You Must Be Flawless
You Catchin The Wrong Vibe, Packin Yo' Shit And Rollin Yo' Eyes Back
Like Mortal Kombat, But Fuckin These Wombats Got You Dizzy
My Nigga You Know Of I Wanna Be Playin But Runnin Up On Me Like You Miss Me
Flexin Up On The Corner Tossin Your Dice And Rollin Your Cadillac
But Man It Seems I'm Reachin Out And Touchin The Wrong Nigga
Don't Expect Me To Be Pimpin Get Your Index Off The Trigger
As We Bust, Us, We Leavin Em In The Dust
So Keep That Clean Up Out Of Your Nose I Said My Piece And Then I Hush
As The Candidate Keeps Flippin... Niggaz Dippin...
Musical Interlude
Verse Three: Andre, Big Boi
Dearly Beloved We Are Gathered,
Like Soap Is To Lather We Come Clean
On Fire Like The Georgia Mass Choir We Keep On Sangin
Some Issues Need To Be Addressed Like Envelopes I Mean
Oh Like Liberty Bells Yes Them Bullets Keep On Rangin
Bringin Our Folks Closer Together
Cause They Severed Us From The Get Green
Light And We Ain't Gon' Stop Until We Hit The Big Screen
Psych Because No One Is Free When Others Are Oppressed
So, We Hit The Stage And Then We Fly Back To Our Nest
Growing Old
Like Some Eagles, People Don't Understand
Just Like Their Parents Don't Be Carin
I'm Speakin About You Playin With That Phony Stuff You Sharin
In Your Raps Mercedes Benz And All Your Riches
Cause You Flaw, In, Fallin Like Leaves Into Driveways
Isn't It Lovely Smokin Good And Sloppy Head On Highways
Thinkin You Got It, But Get It Get It, But You Ain't Pimpin No Bitches
Friday's Are Tight But Saturday Just Makes It Old
Growing Old
When Tonight's Are Hot Warm Enough To Feed Your Soul
("96 Gonna Be That Year...")
Musical Interlude 2x
(like Memories Of Yesterday...)
*voice Of Andre Fades In*
See All Them Leaves Must Fall Down, Growin Old
Fat Titties Turn To Teardrops As Fat Ass Turns To Flab
Sores That Was Open Wounds Eventually Turn To Scab
Trees Bright And Green Turn Yellow Brown
Autumn Caught Em, See All Them Leaves Must Fall Down, Growin Old
(repeat 3x
