Verse 1 (Big Boi)Ain’t it crazy how your life seems to play out like a movie / I’m truly one of the bad-dest motherf**kers to ever do it / Done did it, gone do it again and can’t nobody stop me / Cause I occupy these streets while these ni**as they rhyme bout shoppin’ / Been a handsome ass ni**a since my momma wiped my bottom / Kept a plethora of pu**y on deck before the money / Or monies, greens, bills, dividends and such / Operation grind and stack cause these rappers are out of touch / Or like a rabbit that just lost one foot to a keychain, out of luck / My tail is never tucked, so f**k ni**as beware when ya buck / Let’s be clear, I’ma keep it straight up player like a gentle-

man / But I won’t go back and forth / East, West, South North, ha

Chorus (Sleepy Brown)When my feet touch the ground, when I peep all around / And I’m feelin’ all loved, ya I’m feelin’ all loved / From the way that you stare, for the joy that I’m there / And I’m

feelin’ all loved, ya I’m feelin’ all loved

Verse 2 (Big Boi)Ya it seems just like yesterday, where did the time go / I’m giving you the best that I got, Anita Baker rhyme flow / It’s time for that new sh*t that ya’ll been dyin’ for / Divine flows, the radio got ya’ll like zombies / Come alive hoes, like a litter full of puppies / Or a baby with a onesie on, your old lady clumsy homes / That means she’s fallin’ for Daddy Fat Saxxx, wanna show me some / Sweeter than some hon-eycombs, she wanna be the queen bee / The numero uno sittin’ on the throne next to me but it ain’t gonna be easy / Why, I got a seat for her, right in my naked lap / Reverse cowgirl, she ride it and make her booty clap / I’m breached birth, feet first, ni**a with each verse / Been ten toes down, to those familiar with the sound / So Shazam me, and then you Google Dungeon Family / And when you do you will understand, I’m beaucoup out of my noodle with this pad and pen / And boy you

penciled in, you’re temporary, substitute and we can’t fit you in / Let’s begin

told / Look in the mirror my dear, and it appears / That the eyes are the window to the soul, oh

knew you but your heart is blind

of storytelling and I’m only tellin’ mine

Chorus (Sarah Barthel)The lines we’ve crossed, the lines we’ve crossed / Have always been why I’ve lost, it changes all the time / Cause

I’ve wondered how, I’ve wondered how / I’m happier when I lose what I’ve needed all my life

Second Verse (Big Boi)Straight outta the belly of East Point, ya that’s my origins / Was born in West Savannah Georgia, then I was born again / Like the baby in the manger, I gave my life to Jesus, because He could protect me from the dangers / Send a circle of angels, just to help me shine my halo / Attended Sunday school but it felt like it was every day though / I didn’t have a suit or no fancy shoes, we went in our play clothes / Received the word and it molded me like Play-Doh / My ni**a we don’t play do, we don’t play do / They say we get lower than an alligators navel / And when I say gator I mean that gator that match that sable fur coat / I wish that PETA would throw some blood off on my fur folk / Boy, a** whooping / They outchea eatin’ flesh but wanna worried ‘bout how I’m lookin’ / I stay simply

fresh to def / Sir Lucious Leftfoot bestfoot forward / You reap what you sow and now it’s showing

day/Eventually it’s gon’ find you

Bridge We be rhymin’ on the beat but the beats so cold/We be rhymin’ on the beat but the beats so cold/We be movin’ on the beat but the beats so cold/We be rhymin’ on the beat but the beats so cold/

Verse 2

If her boyfriend tryin’ to trip talkin’ sh*t/Ima beat his a**/You should let her go it ain’t worth the problems hell no/If she come right now she’d be down but I don’t love her though/Plus she tastes like raspberries man I thought

Chorus

Sometimes I wonder how I get over/The weight of everything is tearin’ up my sober/Sh*t is heavy

like the world on my shoulders/People tellin’ me be strong like a soldier but I suffer tremendous

damage/Just make it fade away/Just let it fade away/Just make it fade away/I suffer tremendous

damage

Verse 1 (Big Boi)

So many things that I didn’t know/But still I seen my dreams come true/And now the little kids

are watchin’ my videos/And tellin me I wanna be you/See I’m just a man so ain’t scared to fall

down/No matter what ever I go through/I told the man in the mirror keep pushin’ on/But I can’t say

the same about you nah nah nah/I done made it this far/And ain’t no way I’m gonna turn back/I

started out with no car/And graduated to a Cadillac/But all that money don’t mean a god damn

thing to me/Cause we don’t worship that/But like the Wright Brothers/You gotta crash and burn

before ya take flight I know ya heard that

Chorus / Verse 2 (Big Boi)

February 28th the day my daddy died/Well not really his energy passed to the other side/And ever

since that day I’ve seen him fade away with my own eyes/I never doubted god/The Marine corps

they say semper fi/My daddy fought in Vietnam/This is a fun fact from the bloodline of Antwan An-

dre just like this song say I’ve suffered tremendous damage/Got me tougher than a muthaf**ka/

And since the days of players ball y’all thought it was about all these broads and slammin Cadillac

Doors naw your American idols just a fraud/Ya kiss him and he still gonna be a frog/Ribit/A bitter

old negro not at all/See I look twenty six and still hit ya broad/Still pitch a ball/Hike, pass, shoot,

kick and all/Practice make perfect/At first it was Bamboo and now it’s Cross

Chorus / Bridge

Ridin through the city with my windows down low/Blastin the system as my wheels spin slow (x 4)

Hook (Tre Luce)

Let me see your ti**ies/ Let me see your ti**ies/ She said ok/ Ok/ Now let me see your pu**y/ Let me see your

pu**y/ she said ok/ Ok/ We at the freak nic affair/ throw your money in the air/ Let it/ rain/ rain/ let it rain down/

She wants to skip the winter just to shake it in the summer/ If I didn’t show up to your party homie that’s a bummer/

Strippers on the pole and they goin up and down/ I sip on my cup/ cup/ to make me calm down/ I’m a fly Brooklyn

bi*ch/ but when I’m in Atlanta / I be stickin’ ones in the thongs/ Hit em with bandanas/ I’ma play that cat like it was

played by Santana/ Bi*ch I hit you up manana/ for a recap/ my hanger / my hanger/ I’m a freak girl/ watch me take

a peak girl/ touchin on your ni**les mighty long take a seat girl/ wanna introduce you to my mighty long/ he dance

the song/ said he’ll take you all night long/ but you hidin’ in that dress/ curiosity is killin’ me/ when you hit the stage

tell them mob ni**as you feelin’ me/

Hook / Verse (Big Boi)

Yeah/ Monday night/ Atlanta, Georgia and they say all the hoes at magic c know/ I’m no David Copperfield/ But I’m

sure I can pull a rabbit/ See I’m adamant when I see something I want I reach out and grab it/ Like this cannabis that

I am blowing/ bust the package boy its cherry kush/ Uh/ stanky smelly much/ but this is the only hairy bush that I

would like to put my lips on/ I like that pu**y brazilian waxed with the nips showing/ tip toe in in her high heels of her

bare feet/ and she down for some major d*ck blowing/ How many licks does it take to get to the bottom of a tootsie

roll/ what / Pop goes the weasel when I explode in her mouth/ boy that’s cold/ er / then Shaquille O’Neal from the

free throw line and I’m a peaceful person so she wanted to give me piece of mind/ Now it appears that I am brain

dead/ my legs feel like Joe from family guy/ because she got insane head/ call me crazy but nowadays it seems like

nothing is sacred/ o well / I already got me some body to play with.

Hook

I just wanna give you all my time/ Give you all my time/ Baby let me blow your mind / your mind/ Blow your mind/

Girl I want you to climb on top of me/ Climb on top of me baby/ Could you please let me see/ Let me see/
