Everlasting (Repeat 4X)
[Verse 1: André 3000]
Now sittin' in the bathtub listening to the Isley
Brothers and others outside my door want to despise me
Reminds me that everyone ain't cool, the world is jealous
Never could understand when my mama use to tell us
"Don't take your food outside around your friends
Unless you got enough to feed the neighborhood"
The play has just began, follow me now
Act 1 Scene 2 the date 1/1/96 the time I don't know
Mood disturbed, Dre goes on to say they trying to get over
Like them n***as with the blinker on, I got my thinker on
So I'm like 'Word, however you want to act is fine'
That is real as fishing rods
I might be kissing God but I'm still in the battle
So if you got cattle you best be fasting
For 7 days and 7 nights we everlasting
20 years young on a quest to get my cla** ring
Just for them fhite wolks, I will if it's the last thing
I do

Everlasting (Repeat 5X)
[Interlude: Big Boi]
Yeah, slick, knowhatI'msayin', I'm gonna tell you like this
Just 'cause I live the apartment don't mean you can keep puttin' these notes under my windshield, I'm tellin' you
Shorty gon' bust your a** about that sh**
[Verse 2: Big Boi]
Check it, hey y'all, hey y'all, hey y'all, hoes
Back up in this b**h rippin' tracks like I'm supposed
Tommy and Ralph Lauren don't like n***as to wear they clothes
Where your proof at? Who's that? Talking sh** like those
Keepin' the rumors up, I wish I lived in a f**in' cave
I ride the streets in Lexus, all these hoes wanna be saved
Go to college, get a job because all you want to do is shake
I use to hit Club Nikki's but I gave that sh** a break
Just like Maaco, Waco, burn it to the ground
I bet you eatin' that pork when your partners ain't around
Backdraft, scenes of Shaft splackin' these hoes just like he's supposed to
Quote you: "Big Boi is the pimp a** n***a that formed you"
Like pottery, sloppily, playin' hoes like lotteries
OutKast did the dirt and now you swear your sh** is poppin' see
You bit (beats), we makin' hits, so give me your flag back
I'm living in the SWATS so you may call me Daddy Fatsacks
Yeah, you know what I'm sayin'? Like this
Everlasting

Everlasting (Repeat 8X)
[Verse 3]
[Big Boi]
One in a million men pa**ing the J off in the culture
Don't y'all smoke a couple of pounds and get tore up y'all
And tear the devil headquarters down to the grizzound
Is how we hit the house and puff a couple of good pounds
Of good weed, PeeWee, my n***a Little Beewee
We need a 50 box of Phillies and some bouncin' titties
From the Magic, the Flame
Nikki's too, and share in Sequel's
Never payin' for no p**y
You can shake it, you can keep it to yourself, hoe
[André 3000]
You left your morals at the door, when you steeped in, crept in
Naked as babies at the beach, so
Now you wonder why your n***a done bust you in the fore
Head, ain't no respect there, so now you just a**ed out like breech
Delivery, slivery got you swung on
These types of things go on from here to Bowen Home
To London, England, Wall Street to y'all street
Sometime I get bewildered and it throws a n***a like me off beat
But I'm back on it
Because we lasting 'ever, sound good, don't it?
Rattling your trunks like FAMU and the component
Said that's it, man, f** that sh**
On and on and on and I'm out
[Hook]
Everlasting (Repeat until fade)
