Outkast - Babylon lyrics

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 pink
