UGK Ft. OutKast – International Player’s Anthem
So I typed a text to a girl I used to see
Sayin’ that I chose this cutie pie with whom I wanna be
And I apologize if this message gets you down
Then I CC’ed every girl that I’d see-see ’round town
So I typed a text to a girl I used to see
Sayin’ that I chose this cutie pie with whom I wanna be
And I apologize if this message gets you down
Then I CC’ed every girl that I’d see-see ’round town
Threw his own youth off the roof after paradise
Leave it to Beaver
I pull up in Bentleys with London, they all want to meet him
Yeah, they all wanna greet him
The only thing on a mind of a shark is: Eat
By any means
And you’re just sardines
Your trunk in the front
Well check this out my top in the trunk
Man I swear my life is perfect, I could merch it
If I die I’ll prolly cry at my own service, igh, igh!
It was a dream, you could not mess with the Beam
This is like this many rings
Y’all know wha’ mean?
This for the kids of the king of all kings
This is the holiest thing
This is the beat that played under the Word
This is the sheep that ain’t like what it heard
This is officially first
This is the third
And I didn’t even try to work a job
Represent the mob
At the same time thirsty on the grind
Chi state of mind
Lost my momma, lost my mind
Life my love, that’s not mine
Sorry for the trouble that I put you and your heart through
God knows that I’d do anything for a part two, or to
Be prayin’ for the day you come back to me, sayin’ that you forgive me
Give me another chance, I’m needin’ it like a kidney
I don’t wanna advance, give me back her hands
Give me back her touch
But if you really cared for her, then you wouldn’t have never hit the airport to follow your dreams
Sometimes I still talk to her, but when I talk to her
It always seems like she talking ’bout me
My life story strictly business never blew my chance
Moms kicked me out the house when I was flipping “I’m The Man”
Put the boys on the street, make them walk this beat
Teach them how to eat, and to seek for peace
Ready or not, here I come, you can’t hide
Gonna find you and take it slowly
Ready or not, here I come, you can’t hide
Gonna find you and make you want me
I get mad frustrated when I rhyme
Thinking of all the kids that try to do this for all the wrong reasons
Season change mad things rearrange
But it all stays the same like the love doctor Strange
Daddy looking down, I know he see me blowin’ up
My grandma would be so proud
Tell me them lies that you want me to hear
I try to forget, but it’s hard to forgive
The way that I met her was on tour at a concert
She had long hair and a short miniskirt
I just got onstage drippin’, pourin’ with sweat
I was walkin’ through the crowd and guess who I met
I whispered in her ear, “Come to the picture booth
So I can ask you some questions to see if you are a hundred proof”
It’s like I remember slap boxing now we clap shots to catch props
From knocking rocks on the block to chop the fat crops and jock
I see the Jakes and motivate cause half my team be holding weight
We march across the Golden Gate Bridge, my mind is in the soldier state
The Mac Dad will make you jump jump
Daddy Mac will make you jump jump
Kris Kross will make you jump jump
She said, Mouse I highly doubt that I’ll ever see you again
Hope everything is well kid
You see I’m just finding’ out I have a brain tumor but I never felt it
The doctor’s giving me three weeks to live
Not three weeks ’til I die, that’s three weeks to give
I just wanna tell you that I love you and I care
I wish you all the best throughout the rest of your career
And then she broke into tears
I pressed seven, took the phone from my ears
Sometimes the simplest of things people need it
But I ain’t call back in fear of being speechless
I woke up early this morning with a new state of mind
A creative way to rhyme without using knives and guns
Keep your nose out the sky, keep your heart to God
And keep your face to the risin’ sun
But if I fall asleep and death takes me away
Don’t be surprised, son, I wasn’t put here to stay
It’s like this and like that and like this and uh
It’s like that and like this and like that and uh
It’s like this and like that and like this and uh
I flow steady like the sands in the hourglass
Droppin mad paragraph after paragraph
In the night time, keep me out of sight, it’s the poltergeist
When I’m ghost, I’mma cut the line, now you outta mind
Money trees is the perfect place for shade and that’s just how I feel
Big bank take a little bank
Everyday spillin’ up drank
She want the whole crew, shawty brave
When the money talks, what is there to say?
Blow away, watch it blow away
When I die can’t take it to the grave
We were beginners in the hood as Five Percenters
But somethin’ must’ve got in us ‘cause all of us turned to sinners
When I get dusted, I like to spread the blood like mustard
Trust it, my hardcore rain leaves you rusted
Look at me
I’m looking’ forward to the memories of right now
Never forgettin’ from where I came
And no matter where I’m headed, I promise to stay the same
I’ll move my family out the country
So you can’t see where I stay
So go and grab the reporters
So I can smash their recorders
See they’ll confuse us with some bullshit
Like the New World Order
And my head keeps spinning
Can’t stop having these visions
I gotta get wit’ it
I must got an angel, ‘cause look how death missed his ass
Unbreakable, what, you thought they’d call me Mr. Glass?
Look back on my life like the Ghost of Christmas Past
Toys “R” Us where I used to spend that Christmas cash
And I still won’t grow up, I’m a grown-ass kid
Swear I should be locked up for stupid shit that I did
But I’m a champion, so I turned tragedy to triumph
Make music that’s fire, spit my soul through the wire
Seems like street lights, glowing, happen to be
Just like moments, passing, in front of me
So I hopped in the cab and I paid my fare
See I know my destination, but I’m just not there
All the street lights, glowing, happen to be
Just like moments, passing, in front of me
So I hopped in the cab and I paid my fare
See I know my destination, but I’m just not there
You can plan a pretty picnic
But you can’t predict the weather
The early bird will get the worm, and drink it with Tequila
