Even the sun goes down heroes eventually die
Horoscopes often lie and sometimes andquot;yandquot;
Nothinand' is for sure nothinand' is for certain nothinand' lasts forever
But until they close the curtain
Itand's him and i aquemini
[big boi]
Now is the time to get on like spike lee said
Get on the bus go get your work
And keep your beeper chirpinand' is a must
Is you on that dust or cornstarch
Familiar with that smack man
The music is like that green stuff
Provided to you by sack man
Pac man how in the fuck do you think we gonand' do that man?
Ridinand' round old national on 18and's without no gat man
Iand'm strapped man and ready to bust on any nigga like that man
Me and my nigga we roll together like batman and robin
We prayed together through hard times
And swung hard when it was fitting
But now we tappinand' the brakes from all them corners
That we be bending in volkswagens and bonnevilles
Chevrolets and coupe de villes
If you ainand't got no rims nigga donand't get no wood grain
Steering wheel for real you can go on chill out and still build
Let your paper stack instead of going into overkill
Pay ya fuckin beeper bill bitch

Twice upon a time there was a boy who died twice
And lived happily ever after but thatand's another chapter
Live from home of the brave with dirty dollars
and beauty parlors and baby bottles and bowling ball impalas
and street scholars thatand's majoring in culinary arts
You know how to work bread cheese and dough
From scratch but see the catch is you can get caught
Know what ya sellinand' what ya bought so cut that big talk
Letand's walk to the bridge now meet me halfway
Now you may see some children dead off in the pathway
Itand's them poor babies walkinand' slowly to the candy lady
Itand's lookinand' bad need some hope
Like the words maybe, if, or probably more than a hobby
When my turntables get wobbly they donand't fall
Iand'm sorry yand'all i often drift iand'm talkinand' gift
So when it comes you never look the horse inside itand's grill
Of course you know i feel like the bearer of bad news
Donand't want to be it but itand's needed so what have you
Now question is every nigga with dreads for the cause?
Is every nigga with golds for the fall? naw
So donand't get caught in appearance
Itand's outkast aquemini another black experience okay
[hook]
[big boi]
The name is big boi daddy fat sax
The nigga that like them cadillacs
I stay down with these streets
and'cause these streets is where my folks at
Better know that some say we pro-black boy we professional
We missed a lot of church so the music is our confessional
Get off the testicles and the nut sacks
You bust a rhyme we bust back
Get get back for real niggas thatand's out here tryinand' to spit facts
You hear dat canand't come near dat maybe you need to quit
Because aquemini is aquarius and gemini runninand' shit like this
Yea yea yea yea
[dre]
My mind warps and bends floats the wind count to ten
Meet the twin andre ben. welcome to the lionand's den
Original skin many men comprehend
I extend myself so you go out and tell a friend
Sin all depends on what you believing in
Faith is what you make it thatand's the hardest shit since mc ren
Alien can blend right on in witand' yoand' kin
Look again and'cause i swear i spot one every now and then
Itand's happeninand' again wish i could tell you when
Andre this is andre yand'all just gonand' have to make amends
