13th Floor/Growing Old - Outkast[00:00:00]
Conceive true deception multiplied a million fold[00:00:10]
Visualize the yin and yang in a battle so intense[00:00:11]
That we get em confused[00:00:15]
The resident evil specialize in misconstruing[00:00:16]
We wanna be at a presidential level -- what are we doing [00:00:18]
Foolin ourself clowning ourself playing ourself[00:00:22]
By not being ourself[00:00:26]
We can't babble no more than we can bob our head offbeat[00:00:27]
Nimrod by the time we forty cause we can't get our meat[00:00:31]
While we ask no reason for the misplacement of the season[00:00:35]
Look at the picture that's painted[00:00:38]
Tainted as the mind who's blinded to the point[00:00:40]
Where Sodomites get all the rights[00:00:42]
We fall for fights with fisticuffs[00:00:43]
Get pissed enough to miss the bus[00:00:45]
It disgusts me to see my folks run up on[00:00:48]
I say stand up on deception of time all of Revelations[00:00:50]
And recognize this mind on the reality of horror[00:00:53]
Known as mankind[00:00:56]
Jesus and his twelve disciples make thirteen[00:00:57]
A righteous number of righteous men[00:01:00]
Even Judas the Betrayer came true in the end[00:01:02]
The Devil say the end is the beginning[00:01:05]
They teach that we were the product of incest[00:01:07]
Invest no level of self into their system of Paganomics[00:01:10]
Stand with us and don't look back upon it[00:01:12]
Just face this mindstate[00:01:15]
Otherwise Babylon [00:01:17]
(My memories of yesterday )[00:01:17]
"Ninety-six gonna be that year "[00:01:26]
I bet you never heard of a player with no game[00:01:36]
Told the truth to get what I want but shot it with no shame[00:01:55]
Take this music dead serious while others entertain[00:01:58]
I see they making they paper so I guess I can't complain or can I [00:02:00]
I feel they disrespecting the whole thang[00:02:05]
Them hooks like selling d**e to black folks[00:02:06]
And I choke when the food they serve ain't tasting right[00:02:08]
My stomach can't digest it even when I bless it[00:02:11]
I'm confessing one mo' lesson from the South we in the house tonight[00:02:14]
Now hootie who wants to oppose Suppose[00:02:16]
We rolls through Headland and Delowe[00:02:18]
Where me and my niggas surpassed the flow[00:02:21]
And got down for ours like hind catchers[00:02:22]
My mind catches flashbacks to the black past[00:02:24]
While my close niggas laugh at[00:02:26]
The Southern slang figure ways and mojo chicken wangs[00:02:27]
I grew up on booty shake we did not know no better thang[00:02:29]
So go 'head and diss it while real hop-hippers listen[00:02:33]
Started by Afrikan Bambaata so you and your potnah[00:02:35]
Gather your thoughts[00:02:39]
Something's gotta change[00:02:42]
Sounds of laughter and happiness turns my teardrops to rain[00:02:43]
Been bearing this burden for too many of my days[00:02:48]
Looks like breezes of autumn done finally move my way[00:02:53]
Like memories of yesterday [00:02:58]
Uhh born Antwan Patton but my partners they call me Big Boi[00:03:04]
It's the ni**a the B-I-G be speaking the truth not talking that sh*t boy[00:03:06]
I'm thinkin of checking my traps and bustin my raps and throwing them craps[00:03:09]
Seven-eleven is no convenience you pumping your gas they're watching yo' back[00:03:12]
For the robbin crew thinkin they robbin you you must be cautious[00:03:14]
To stand up on yo' game and pimping these crows you must be flawless[00:03:17]
Like Mortal Kombat but f**king these wombats got you dizzy[00:03:18]
My ni**a you know of I wanna be playing but running up on me like you miss me[00:03:21]
You catchin the wrong vibe packing yo' sh*t and rolling yo' eyes back[00:03:27]
Flexing up on the corner tossing your dice and rolling your Cadillac[00:03:29]
But man it seems I'm reaching out and touching the wrong ni**a[00:03:29]
Don't expect me to be pimping get your index off the trigger[00:03:32]
As we bust us we leaving em in the dust[00:03:34]
So keep that clean up out of your nose I said my piece and then I hush[00:03:38]
As the candidate keeps flippin niggas dippin [00:03:41]
[Musical Interlude[00:03:43]
I really be love it we are gathered to life[00:03:49]
So pissed to lather we come clean[00:04:10]
Some issues need to be addressed like envelopes I mean[00:04:11]
Oh like Liberty Bells yes them bullets keep on rangin[00:04:13]
On fire like the Georgia mass choir we keep on singing[00:04:16]
Bringing our folks closer together cause they severed us from the get green[00:04:18]
Light and we ain't gonna stop until we hit the big screen[00:04:22]
Psych because no one is free when others are oppressed[00:04:25]
So we hit the stage and then we fly back to our nest[00:04:27]
Growing old[00:04:30]
Like some eagles people don't understand[00:04:31]
Just like their parents don't be carin[00:04:33]
I'm speaking about you playing with that phony stuff you sharing[00:04:34]
In your raps Mercedes Benz and all your riches[00:04:36]
Thinkin you got it but get it get it but you ain't pimping no b**ches[00:04:38]
Cause you flaw in falling like leaves into driveways[00:04:42]
Isn't it lovely smocking good and sloppy head on highways[00:04:44]
Friday's are tight but Saturday just makes it old[00:04:47]
When tonight's are hot warm enough to feed your soul[00:04:50]
Growing old[00:04:53]
[Musical Interlude 2X[00:04:53]
("96 gonna be that year ")[00:04:55]
(Like memories of yesterday )[00:04:56]
[voice of Andre fades in[00:05:02]
See all them leaves must fall down growing old[00:05:05]
Fat titties turn to teardrops as fat a** turns to flab[00:06:12]
Sores that was open wounds eventually turn to scab[00:06:15]
Trees bright and green turn yellow brown[00:06:17]
Autumn caught em see all them leaves must fall down growing old[00:06:19]
[repeat 3X[00:06:23]
