[Verse 2: Big Boi]
My Cadillac got that boom, boom in it, listen✦ to it drop
Like cereal in your breakfast bowl just jumpin'✦ off the top
A nigga✦ don't stop for squares or octagons prepare
I'm not the one you scared,✦ the Piccolo Pimp done set up shop
Nigga✦ you pop lock, for pop rocks, but I'm only✦ poppin✦ tweeters
And woofers and pussies be blowing purple wit' my feet up
I'mma✦ eat up anybody who tests this, I'm blessed wit'
Super✦ human powers, poke your chest in, the next of kin
Gone be the first one like some Mexicans to buck
Nigga✦ you stuck like a truck in red dirt, you's in church
And I'm the deacon✦ speakin'✦ while ya tweakin'✦
The preacher preachin',✦ reachin',✦ teachin'✦ speakin',✦ being, breathin'
You're not, your clock stop, and now you're laying in a pretty✦ box
And now the pastor✦ is only✦ talking 'bout the pretty✦ parts of your life
Your brother fuckin'✦ your damn wife
You look for the pearly✦ white gates,✦ but you realize your fate
It's too late, cause you hate, you hate
It's too late, cause you hate
Punk pussy✦ ass bitch, game over,✦ (What you wanna✦ do?) who want some?!
[Chorus: Big Boi]
Don't you be looking✦ at me crazy✦ like ya want to
The game is over✦ k.b. baby✦ won't you
Just quit the contemplating✦ 'cause
I'll box you in your muthafuckin'✦ mouth
Don't you be looking✦ at me crazy✦ like ya want to
The game is over✦ k.b. baby✦ won't you
Just quit the contemplating✦ 'cause
I'll box you in your muthafuckin'✦ mouth
[Verse 3: Killer Mike + Big Boi]
Roll my blunts thick, like I like my bitch
Lick my blunts and spit, like she do my dick
Attempted murder✦ dick, for ways I choke chicks
Spit it in her eye make it hard to focus✦
Killer✦ Mike gonna✦ calm down, things gonna✦ get a little crazy✦
Ol' girl might yell rape G, you might as well give her a throat baby✦
Goop goobler, goop gravy,✦ no dicking her down to the ground
Now you doing the Dirty✦ South, know what I'm talkin'✦ about✦
Big Boi, my mentor,✦ hear what you hollering about✦
But fuck that, I'm looking✦ for love all in her mouth
Need her to gobble up jism, like school lunches✦
Need her to take cat beatings and throat punches✦
Like a swarm of locusts, no hocus-pocus
You wanna✦ approach us, buzzards and vultures
We two of the dopest✦ mic controllers✦
Stack big bank, honey✦ folders
Even✦ wit' rollers,✦ I'm trying to told ya
Even✦ loving,✦ lavish, ladies,✦ leaving, landmarks of Lemon-lime, lip gloss on your lavender lape
Ls leaping lizards, keep me slizzard, my mind's expanding
Readily rappin'✦ and snappin',✦ snappin'✦ and trappin'✦
That's just what's happening
[Chorus: Big Boi]
Don't you be looking✦ at me crazy✦ like ya want to
The game is over✦ k.b. baby✦ won't you
Just quit the contemplating✦ 'cause
I'll box you in your muthafuckin'✦ mouth
Don't you be looking✦ at me crazy✦ like ya want to
The game is over✦ k.b. baby✦ won't you
Just quit the contemplating✦ 'cause
I'll box you in your muthafuckin'✦ mouth
