[Break: OutKast]
You are now entering the fifth dimension✦ of ascension✦
Our only✦ intention✦ is to take you high
High, uh, yeah, yeah, my Lord
[Verse 2: Big Boi]
To make one bob they head would be the track job
Your job's to spit that fire
Some of y'all MC's take this rhymin'✦ for granted, I won't comply✦
With that slackin',✦ poppin',✦ and crackin',✦ Fourth Ward say we snappin'
They want that hardness, that oddness, that gets a nigga✦ to start this
What's happenin'? See, if I do what you won't do today,✦ boy
Will I live tomorrow? Like you can't even✦ live 'cause you strayed
Motivational skills lackin';✦ when I see you, nigga,✦ you packin'✦
Understand that though, you behind a $75,000 car do'
But still stay with Mom though, playing the King like Don doe
You choked✦ up
You was the nigga✦ that supposed to be so locced✦ up
Makin'✦ them think Hip-Hop✦ is dead, exhume✦ the body✦ if you ain't scared✦
And if I see you in the streets, I'd dap you down like you was Greg, yeah
[Chorus: André 3000]
We reign, reign, supreme, preme
Dungeon,✦ Dungeon✦ kings
Do you know what brings rats, mice, snakes✦ up out of they hole?
Chonkyfire,✦ spliced✦ with rock n' roll
Indubitably,✦ piper✦ pied
Now hold on, my brother,✦ no, no, no, no, can't stop the stride
Do you know what brings rats, mice, snakes✦ up out of they hole?
Chonkyfire,✦ spliced✦ with rock n' roll
Indubitably,✦ piper✦ pied
Now, now just hold on, my brother,✦ no, no, no, no, can't stop the stride
Do you know what brings rats, mice, snakes✦ up out of they hole?
Chonkyfire,✦ spliced✦ with rock n' roll
Indubitably,✦ piper✦ pied
Now hold on, my brother,✦ no, no, no, no, can't stop the stride
Do you know what brings rats, mice, snakes✦ up out of they hole?
Chonkyfire,✦ spliced✦ with rock n' roll
Indubitably,✦ piper✦ pied
Now, now just hold on, my brother,✦ no, no, no, no, can't stop the stride
[Outro: Kid (of Kid 'n' Play) at The Source Awards]
And the winner✦ is—ladies, help me out—OutKast!
{*crowd erupts in applause*}
Goodie Mob in the house!
[Big Boi]
Yeah, word, what's up?
Goodie Mob in the house, yanahmsayin'✦
We wanna✦ say what's up to New York, yanahmsayin'✦
'Cause we from Down South, nahmsayin'✦
Is New York up in this, yanahmsayin''?✦
Are y'all in here, yanahmsayin'?✦
This y'all city,✦ yanahmsayin'...✦
We just wanna✦ say—yanamsayin'—✦
Wanna✦ say what's up to all the original MCs out there
People out there that who got their own stuff
So – what's up, Dré?
[André 3000]
Yeah, first of all, yanahmsayin',✦ I wanna✦ thank God
Just—nahmsayin'—dead serious
'Cause if it wasn't for Him, yanahmsayin',✦ we wouldn't be here
But it's like this, though –
I'm tired✦ of folks, yanahmsayin'—them closed-minded folks, yanahmsayin'✦
It's like – we got a demo✦ tape and don't nobody✦ wanna✦ hear it...
But it's like this – the South got somethin' to say!
That's all I got to say
