[Verse 1 - K. Jayz]
I'm tryna raise the bar for n***as who don't rap right
If I'm not meant to carry on then I'll die tonight
I've always been so isolated and alienated from n***as who hated
But I know one day I'll say I made it
I know I was different, I never had a best friend
Cause everybody who said it never really meant it
But it's okay, it's alright, I don't give a f**
Cause now I'm putting pursuit in doing something I love
Rapping about how I feel and what I think about
These other motherf**ers gon' have to pursue another route
I'ma spit some catastrophic devastation if you follow me
I'ma f** up the game so hard with no apologies
Alienated for way too long
I just wait for the day where everybody singing my song
I see lyricism resurrecting from the grave
Put all the ignorant music and stupid rappers to shame
[Hook x2 - André 3000]
Now throw your hands in the air
And wave 'em like you just don't care
And if you like fish and grits and all that pimp sh**
Everybody let me hear you say, "O-Yea-yer"
[Verse 2 - Big Boi]
Everyday I sit while my n***a be in school
Thinking about the second album at the Dungeon shooting pool
Like E-S to the P-N, cause we adjust to the beat in the zone (zone)
Honey I'm home but I'm not married
Carried a lot of problems around being frustrated
And now I'm sitting at the end of the month I just made it
Like you made the B team, and like your daddy's wife you making that coffee
You heard the A-T-L-iens, so back the hell up off me
[Verse 3 - André 3000]
Shh, shh
Softly as if I played piano in the dark
Found a way to channel my anger now to embark
The world's a stage and everybody's got to play their part
God works in mysterious ways so when he starts
The job of speaking through us we be so sincere with this here
No d** or alcohol so I can get the signal clear as day
Put my Glock away I got a stronger weapon
That never runs out of ammunition so I'm ready for war okay
[Hook]
[Verse 4 - K. Jayz]
Sometimes I feel like I'm against the American movement
Sometimes people will look at me like I'm not even human
Like I'm an alien, and maybe I am
Sometimes I feel like I'm away from the world like Mary Ann Summers
Trapped on Gilligan's Island
But if I was ever lost, nobody would try to find me
But I'm good, so don't worry about me
Go ahead and find some opportunities without me
I'ma do the same and open opened doors, cause they ain't opened right
They only opened a little bit, welcome to my life
But I never complain, I accept it
Everybody turning corrupt, but I'm never infected
I'ma never turn my back on my family
Even though I know nowadays they turn they back on me
It's the way of life, I guess
So I guess I'm just gon' have to learn from life, I guess
