Outkast
"Babylon"


I came into this world high as a bird 
From second hand cocain powder 
i know it sounds absurd 
I never tooted but its in my veins 
While the rest of the country bungies off bridges 
Without no snap back 
and bitches they say they need that 
To shake they fannies in the ass clubs 
they go the other route 
turn each other out 
burn each other out 
where a bonified nigga like me 
can't even get no back rub these days 
ain't that bleak on they part 
but let me hold it down 
cause they shut you down 
when you speak from your heart 
now that's hard 
while we rantin and ravin bout gats 
nigga they made them gats 
they got some shit that'll blow out our backs 
from where they stay at 

Chorus: 

Ooooh, I fear the battle's just begun 
Ooooh, though we're here someday we will be gone 
so i'm hopin, wishin, prayin 
to keep my faith in you, in you 

(yo, yo, yo in background) 

I'm fascinated by the way yo 
nipples peak at me through yo blouse 
freaky me, freaky you 
can't help but be aroused 
'scuse me lord less for thinkin 
but that's the way we was brought up 
sneakin to watch playboy at night 
we all must be caught up in worldly ways 
Chemistry between boys and girls 
is alot like when we went to the woods 
and laid with the squirrels 
durin P.E., we'd be 
exploring each others privates 
hunchin with all our clothes on 
until we felt excited then, aaaah 
oh now its on from here on out 
put yo hands in the atmosphere 
if you know what i'm talkin bout 
now if two hearts done walk on out 
and i see you on the next song 
they call it horny 
Because its devilish 
now see we dead wrong 

Chorus 

People don't know the stress i'm dealing with day to day 
Speakin about the feeling i'm possessing for Rene 
Mopin around and wondering where she stay 
saw her last that she lay 
give it another day i say 
but the lord he taketh away 
now give it back lawd 
cause that's like backboards without the rims 
me and my auntie was tight like southwest 
before the pinks moved in 
like the niggas that owned the ligour store 
crack cocaine, pimps and whores 
livin up on this earth 
before a nigga like daddy was born 
but they makin a scene 
that my music and crime are a team 
but i'm speakin the truth not dreams 
so what in the fuck they mean 
my lyrics ain't clean
