Verse 1 (Big Boi)
Ain’t it crazy how your life seems to play out like a movie / I’m truly one of the bad-
dest motherf**kers to ever do it / Done did it, gone do it again and can’t nobody
stop me / Cause I occupy these streets while these ni**as they rhyme bout shoppin’
/ Been a handsome ass ni**a since my momma wiped my bottom / Kept a plethora
of pu**y on deck before the money / Or monies, greens, bills, dividends and such /
Operation grind and stack cause these rappers are out of touch / Or like a rabbit that
just lost one foot to a keychain, out of luck / My tail is never tucked, so f**k ni**as
beware when ya buck / Let’s be clear, I’ma keep it straight up player like a gentle-
man / But I won’t go back and forth / East, West, South North, ha
Chorus (Sleepy Brown)
When my feet touch the ground, when I peep all around / And I’m feelin’ all loved, ya
I’m feelin’ all loved / From the way that you stare, for the joy that I’m there / And I’m
feelin’ all loved, ya I’m feelin’ all loved
Verse 2 (Big Boi)
Ya it seems just like yesterday, where did the time go / I’m giving you the best that
I got, Anita Baker rhyme flow / It’s time for that new sh*t that ya’ll been dyin’ for /
Divine flows, the radio got ya’ll like zombies / Come alive hoes, like a litter full of
puppies / Or a baby with a onesie on, your old lady clumsy homes / That means
she’s fallin’ for Daddy Fat Saxxx, wanna show me some / Sweeter than some hon-
eycombs, she wanna be the queen bee / The numero uno sittin’ on the throne next
to me but it ain’t gonna be easy / Why, I got a seat for her, right in my naked lap /
Reverse cowgirl, she ride it and make her booty clap / I’m breached birth, feet first,
ni**a with each verse / Been ten toes down, to those familiar with the sound / So
Shazam me, and then you Google Dungeon Family / And when you do you will
understand, I’m beaucoup out of my noodle with this pad and pen / And boy you
penciled in, you’re temporary, substitute and we can’t fit you in / Let’s begin
Chorus

Gimme one reason why, gimme one reason why, why y y / You’re the apple of my eye /
Gimme one reason why, gimme one reason why, why y y / You’re the apple of my eye
Verse 1 (Big Boi)
In the beginning they say Eve bit it / They’re still sinning cuz they letting every Tom Dick and Steve hit it / Therefore
I’m quick to not believe in it, like the weed with the seeds in it / Now proceed like a G pimpin / And some of the
things you’ve probably seen in your life / Made you think a certain kinda way about finding your wife / Or your
better half, it’s better to love and to hold / Than to never have it at all and ball on these hoes / Make your stock
go up, my Apple stock split / Took a gamble caught it at forty and now it’s over six / I’m rich trick / And that’s in
hundos, so overseas you might catch us eatin’ Nando’s
Chorus / Verse 2 (Big Boi)
Some say the preacher’s daughters are some of the freakiest ones / They been deprived of fun and now they just
wanna cut loose / Like everybody else they wildin’ try to find theyself / And by the time they do they barely have
nobody left…over / Feelin’ empty and alone, cuz the youth is gone / The thrill has been killed so let the truth be
told / Look in the mirror my dear, and it appears / That the eyes are the window to the soul, oh
Chorus / Bridge (Jake)
I, I need a big bite baby, a big bite baby / Of your sweet red delicious love / I, I need a big bite baby, a big bite baby / Of
your sweet red delicious love
Chorus
Ending (Jake)
You’re the apple of my eye

Verse 1 (Big Boi)
I used to be in lust, I wouldn’t call it love / Or give my heart away, that’s somethin’ that I never does / See I’ma
leave it to the scrubs and the cake boss / Let that broad go, uncuff her, take your cape off/When she with me,
she feel free, like her days off / Balls in her hand, but that bi*ch don’t ever say cough / Unless we playin’ doctor,
with no stethoscope, just heels and four poppers yeah / I’m mister wrong but these hoes know not to / Get fly at
the mouth, or step outta pocket / Never violence, I give ‘em silence / Then rub this stick on your bi*ch like a violin
Chorus (Sarah Barthel)
It’s all you want these days, cause you feel nothing inside/
You know there’s nothing wrong, but you’ve been wondering why
Verse 2 (Big Boi)
I’m Daddy Fat Saxxx, S.A. triple X/My music sounds so good it’s almost like you’re having sex/Whether you like it
or not I’m next, and I got the time after that, and the time after that/Because see time and time again I gotta turn
back around and tell ‘em/My cerebellum, get way more deeper than these other fellas/Not only about cheddar/
But what about the seasons never change and the weather stays the same/We could come together but that
might be lame, could learn something/Peep game, nah ni**a burn somethin’
Chorus
Bridge (Big Boi)
I ask for a slice of her pie/sweet potato with the cool whip, oh my/She gave me a hug and on her thigh she felt my
buddy/From touching I’m excited/Am I invited/Let let me in/You puddled up/Gon’ me swim
Chorus
It’s all you want these days, cause you feel nothing inside/You know there’s nothing wrong, but you’ve been
wondering why/I read the horoscope, and it’s been telling me lies/I thought I knew you but your heart is almost
blind/I thought I knew you but your heart is blind/I thought I knew you but your heart is almost blind/I thought I
knew you but your heart is blind

Intro / Verse 1 (Big Boi)
She said she love me when I’m home/She hate it when I’m gone/I’m always at the studio/That makes her alone/
Recently she even seem to hate on all my songs/Deleted my pictures/Took my face up out her phone/Where
did we go wrong/I’m sitting here thinking/She said the weed is too strong/ It keeps my breath stinking/Dizzy
how I ride away in my Lincoln/Close my eyes and fly away with no blinking/ I’m just dreaming/She ain’t really
screaming/It goes both ways and I was trying to get even/Lost my whole evening/Mostly for no reasoning/Just
my broken reasoning/Now I’m trying to ease it in/Came home, I’m late/I just put the key in/It would probably
be straight if she was European/She’s not/She’s hot/As mad as she can be/If you can hate on anybody girl I’m
glad that it was me
Chorus (Kid Cudi)
She hates me/She hates me/But I’mma make her love me/I’mma I’mma make her love me/
But I’mma make her love me again/Repeat Chorus
Verse 2 (Big Boi)
I mean it started with a rose pedal, ended with a stem/Bought a card while I’m thinking, “damn, here we go
again”/We used to hold hands and have such a deep convo/Make a few plans like, “you wanna go where
I’mma go?”/Well let’s leave pronto/And that’s what we did/Then we yelled out, “Geronimo!”/And jumped off
that bridge/Had a couple kids/You can move where I live/I know old a** ni**as that’s scared to do what I did/
The shoe still fits but I’m wearing out the sole/Sometimes I really feel as if I’m burning out my soul/I should have
a live band preparing for my show/But instead everybody keep d**king riding my flow/Now I know I ain’t quite
rich, but bi*ch I ain’t broke/If she’s acting like a bi*ch I guess we’re around white folks/Forgive me fif I raise my
voice, I won’t raise a hand/But one thing I will do baby is raise my lil’ man/Gon’ hate me
Chorus / Outro (Kid Cudi)
I know, I know I did wrong/But baby let me fix it baby let me fix it/Yep/Repeat

this life is but a dream then reality syncs in/The fantasy begins and it never ends/We like to role play/Throw on
some Coldplay/Go get some drugs and alcohol, f**k our whole day/Now we’re trapped in the matrix/While Big
Brother out here making moves ni**a don’t say sh*t
Chorus / Verse 2
The information age (age)/The age of information but we’re still a slave/So let me behave like a coon/Bring the
goons go out and sell dope/That’s what they shoving down our throat/So I choke/And regurgitate truest lyrics
I ever wrote folk/My crew’s loc’d out without the bandanas/Yet we keep it cracking like a egg yolk, ni**a this is
Atlanta/By way of West Savannah
Chorus / Bridge (Big Boi)
As I scroll through the centerfolds/Wishing that the screen was 3 dimensional/I know it doesn’t seem too con-
ventional/
But it’ll do until I get you in the physical/Repeat
Chorus / Bridge (Sarah)
The flash memory that I’ll hold, is all I know of time/What was waiting all along is all I have to realize/
I’ve got the dial tone/The glowing screen it means we’re not alone

Intro
Now that’s what the f**k I’m talkin’ bout
DF to A$AP Mob
First Verse (A$AP Rocky)
Uh, Lines, tell em read between it / Trippin’ while I’m slippin’, busy fightin’ off these demons / Listen while I’m
spittin’ boy, you prolly won’t believe it / But, life is so terrific tell em pinch me if I’m dreamin’ / Revenue is what I
get get, your bi*ch is what I did hit / Came about my bizness, them pesos what I did get / Made a hit, had they fix
/ They sayin’ you’s the shiznit / Tell em get off my diznick, you bucket headed bi*ches / Crossin’ all the lines, time
is only racin’ time / Equivalent to the bars, so I’m only raising mine / Depending on the grind is the only way to
shine / So I’m feelin’ like the odds is the only state of mind / And it’s finna give me peace, life up in these streets /
Equipped with a piece, case you niglets wanted beef / Cuz man gave us laws, and God gave us time / It’s the art
of storytelling and I’m only tellin’ mine
Chorus (Sarah Barthel)
The lines we’ve crossed, the lines we’ve crossed / Have always been why I’ve lost, it changes all the time / Cause
I’ve wondered how, I’ve wondered how / I’m happier when I lose what I’ve needed all my life
Second Verse (Big Boi)
Straight outta the belly of East Point, ya that’s my origins / Was born in West Savannah Georgia, then I was born
again / Like the baby in the manger, I gave my life to Jesus, because He could protect me from the dangers / Send
a circle of angels, just to help me shine my halo / Attended Sunday school but it felt like it was every day though /
I didn’t have a suit or no fancy shoes, we went in our play clothes / Received the word and it molded me like Play-
Doh / My ni**a we don’t play do, we don’t play do / They say we get lower than an alligators navel / And when
I say gator I mean that gator that match that sable fur coat / I wish that PETA would throw some blood off on my
fur folk / Boy, a** whooping / They outchea eatin’ flesh but wanna worried ‘bout how I’m lookin’ / I stay simply
fresh to def / Sir Lucious Leftfoot bestfoot forward / You reap what you sow and now it’s showing

Death will hunt you down
Verse 1 (Big Boi)
What about the people that’s barefoot with no shoes for running when the sun come up/Hey one percenters
the 99 say whatcha gonna do for us/We’ll run up in your house like the first runner up/Eh/Be the first one to
buck and the last one to get laid down/Stay down/And now we lookin at the top of the pile/Or the king of the
mountain gonna knock him off/Revolt/But y’all ni**as just too soft/Bubble gum/Just poppin off/At the mouth
like a ni**a got all the hoes/Got all the dough, and all the women/Boy whatcha gone do in the penitentiary/Gotta
lotta money/Can’t take it with me/I can’t take it with me/I wish they could send me to the moon and back with a
cure for cancer and save the lives of my great grandmamma and my great granddaddy now that’s the answer/
To the question/But, they make money off the medicine/Leaving us all stuck in elections/With no progression
just recessions.
Chorus / Verse 2 (B.o.B.)
Just as I expected/Life gets deadly/It’s funny how the beloved becomes the beheaded/The truth can be indepen-
dent or the direction that you stretch it/So my ni**as will draw when sh*t gets sketchy/That’s a masterpiece/A
work of art/A gallery no photoshop/Pictures say a million words so I just let my photo talk/Even in your local talk/
Ni**as say, “You know he boss”/Every time my name is brought up better know it’s mogul talk/That’s why she
gives me geek ‘til my shins weak/I’m blazing every day you can call that demp week/You’re running from a life
that you didn’t see /That’s like playing hide and seek with the Grim Reap/
Chorus
You can fight and try to get away/But there’s no way to run and hide to/You better know that there will come a
day/Eventually it’s gon’ find you

And since the days of players ball y’all thought it was about all these broads and slammin Cadillac
Doors naw your American idols just a fraud/Ya kiss him and he still gonna be a frog/Ribit/A bitter
old negro not at all/See I look twenty six and still hit ya broad/Still pitch a ball/Hike, pass, shoot,

Chorus / Bridge
Ridin through the city with my windows down low/Blastin the system as my wheels spin slow (x 4)
