Stankonia lyrics

O-U-T-K-A-S-T
Live, from the center of the earth, 7 light-years below sea level we go,
welcome to Stankonia. The place from which all funky things come. Would you
like to come?
(girl moaning, lasts throughout intro)
Bounce baby. (We're bouncing)
Bounce.
Bounce. (We're bouncing)
2 times bounce bounce. (We're bouncing)
We bouncing. (We're bouncing)
BOUNCE... (We bouncing baby)

(feat. Khujo (Goodie Mob))

Alright [Repeat 28X]

[Hook]
Don't everybody like the smell of gasoline
Well burn motherfucka burn American Dream
Don't everybody like the taste of Apple Pie
We'll snap for your slice of life I'm tellin' ya why
I hear that mother nature's now on birth control
The coldest pimp be looking for somebody to hold
The highway up to Heaven got a crook on the toll

Our shit don't mix like llao and lukewarm water
Better make it hotter splash ice and watch it rock up

No after you

[Andre 3000]
Oh, thank you Lord for throwing some shy
Bones in my body let me tell you why

[Dre] 
1, 2.. 1, 2, 3; yeah! 
Inter-national, underground 
Thunder pounds when I stomp the ground (Woo!) 
Like a million elephants with silverback orangutans 
You can't stop a train 
Who want some? Don't come un-pre-pared 
I'll be there, but when I leave there 
Better be a household name 
Weather man tellin' us it ain't gon' rain 

[Man] Hey shorty, let me holla at ya.
[Woman] Wassup, baby?
[Man] Girl, you got some pretty hair.
[Woman] Aww, thank you baby you know, I got a little bit of Spanish in me.
[Man] Girl you ain't Spanish, it's all fine and silky.

[Hook: repeat 2X]
From the weave to the fake eyes

Ha ha ha ha! We luv deez hoez
Ha ha ha ha! We luv deez hoez

[Big Boi]
Don't lie you love them, if you don't you like them hoez a whole lot
Just like your mama Sunday cookin' turkey necks in the pot
You ready to drop your load like prop planes be droppin' that cocaine

Man, my woman done left me
Damn

Shit
They say a compruter can do my job better then I can damn do it
Mutherfuckers
Man pour me another drink

[Big Boi - talking]
One more time for y'all, y-y-yeah, huh
If you didn't know you know now, OutKast, Stankonia
We shittin on everybody talkin that bullshit

[Big Boi]
Now Peter Piper picked a pepper, that was his downfall
I'm down with Dre, he's down and 'cause he got my back y'all
Ball if you want to, but do it with some class G
Ask me, do OutKast got some flows so you can blast me

ATL, crusin' in da ATLcrusin' in da ATL, crusin' in da ATL (BREAK)

(feat. C-Bone, Slimm Calhoun, T-Mo)

[Big Boi]
Some of that uh, LTD Lincoln Town Car
Some of that El Dorado funk, know what I'm talking about
Gangsta Shit, you know, lay back, cool out, yeah
You know we keep it crunk around here, A-town style
Getting head on the highways yeah, but this what I wanna know

[Hook]
Do you really wanna know about some gangsta shit

[Andre3000]
Have you heard the news
They say a little 14 year old little girl had a baby on the way
Tooo much for her little mind to bare
And that type of news to her mama she cannot spare

[Hook]
Toilet Tisha, damn we miss ya
Toilet Tisha is the issue
Damn we miss ya, Toilet Tisha
Damn we miss ya

[Vamp]
Dont go away
Dont you dare go away from me girl I can help you

(feat. Cee-Lo Goodie)

[Hook]
Slum beautiful, driving I plum crazy
Slum beautiful, soul, but so amazing

[Andre 3000]
They don't know, but I do though
Baby my darling you make me loose composure
Fragments of a million me
Scattered across the floor to a certain degree
Where I had to give your mama call
And thank her for spending time with your daddy
For all its worth, girl what's your frequency

[Intro:]
What does love look like
Love looks like you
What does love love feel like
Love feels like this
What does love smell like
Love smells like us

[Andre 3000]
You make me understand
What it means to be in l-o-v-e once again
Why, must we fly so low
Are we 'fraid of heights, do kites get lost in the tow

[Chorus:]
Stank love, stank love, stank love, stank love

[Sleepy Brown]

Hook
don't everybody like the smell of gasoline?
Well burn muthafucka burn American dreams
Don't everybody like the taste of apple pie?
We'll snap for yo' slice of life i'm tellin you why
I hear that MOther Nature's now on birth control
the coldest pimp be lookin for somebody to hold
the highway up to Heaven got a crook on the too
Youth full of fire aint got nowhere to go, nowhere to go

Andre:
Ahhhh I stank I can, I stank I can
The funky engine that could
Oooo oooo!
yosky wosky, pisky wisky
All aboard the Stankonia Express
The underground smell road
Everybody's lookin' for an excuse to let loose
What's your locomotive, the chatter nigga choo choo

Chorus:
Humble as a mumble in the jungle
Of shouts and screams
That's the way the cracker crumbles

*Andre3

[Andre]
Hello lord, it's me again, I just wanna make to love the whole globe
And all her girlfriends now don't that make ya mind move
Like smoke patterns, me on my way to Saturn wit a bomb
Numb be it view, or Saudi Shawty
I figure before the first gun blast, they know who gone win
Now won't that make us all fools
Like class clowns praying Private Ryan comes round

[Man] Hey baby.

[Woman] Yeah?
[Man] I know we've been together for a long time, right?

[Woman] Yeah.

[Man] Well, I got one question to ask you.

[Woman] Yes?

[Man] Will you marry me?

[Woman] Yes!

[Man] Good, but I got one mo' question.

[Woman] Yeah?

[Man] Will you sign a pre-numptual agreement?

[Woman] What?!

(andre 3000)

Stank love, stank love, stank love, stank love

[Andre 3000]
Livin by the grace of God
At the pace of the Devil life is hard, we speedballin
With no time to waste
The trouble tends to weeble wobble over the base, we speedballin
Nose wanna blow out steam
So make some fuckin noise if you know what I mean, we speedballin HA
But if you don't you won't
You'll end up in your trouble while the fury of funk, we speedballin

[Andre 3000]
Want can make a nigga wanna take another nigga life
What can make a nigga wanna do another nigga wife
Life a butter knife
What can make a nigga wanna get his body so high
That can't go to sleep, don't wanna eat
Pray to God that he don't do crack
What can make a nigga wanna cut a beauty queen raw
Feeling every drip drop she can generate imitate seesaws

Andre:
Now sittin' in the bathtub listening to the Isley
Brothers and others outside my door want to despise me
Reminds me that everyone ain't cool the world is jealous
Never could understand when my momma use to tell us
"Don't take your food outside around your friends
Unless you got enough to feed the neighborhood"
The play has just began, follow me now

f/ Cee-Lo (Goodie Mob)

* song is edited on the soundtrack

[Chorus: Cee-Lo]
Just keep your faith in me

Don't act impatiently

You'll get where you need to be, in due time

Even when things are slow

Hold on and don't let go

I'll give you what I owe, in due time

[Big Boi]

Uhh, uhh, yeah, check it

When that * be thinkin of cruisin, the Braves cap is to the side

{"It all started at an accident scene on Bankhead and Ash Street.
It's not clear if the suspect caused it; it is clear he wielded
a hammer and told ..... to get out of his car."}

Verse One: Big Boi, Andre

Yeah, yeah check it
From alligator belts to patty melts I be that smoothest nigga
So hwo do you figga that Atlant don't be pullin dem triggas

Talking: The feeling of being 12 years old and waking up in the middle
of the night and somebody in yo room. Yo heart starts beating so fast
you can hear it pumping. The veins in yo temple pulsate as you stare at
the intruder. Then after a few minutes you realize he ain't moving. So
finally you let 'em hang and turn on the light and the killer turns into
yo coat throwed over the chair.

[breathing hard]
Okay, here we go

[Andre 3000 - singing]
Yeah I'm afraid, like I'm scared as a dog
But I've got a new song, and I want y'all to sing alooooooong
Sing aloooooooooong..
See this is the way that we walk on a sunny, day
when it's rainin inside and you're, all alooooooooone
All aloooooooooone - yeah!

Cause the whole, world, loves it when you don't get down

[Chorus]
In the land of a million drums
there is always something going on, on, on, on
If you can't locate your thought off
might as well go on take your dead home, home, home, home

[Big Boi]
In the land of a million drums
I catch a pattern that spit rings around you like Saturn
Intergalatic tracks I make 'em like magstrulium

[Andre 3000]

Want can make a nigga wanna take another nigga life

What can make a nigga wanna do another nigga wife
Life a butter knife

What can make a nigga wanna get his body so high

That can't go to sleep, don't wanna eat

Pray to God that he don't do crack

What can make a nigga wanna cut a beauty queen raw

Feeling every drip drop she can generate imitate seesaws

[Dre]
1, 2.. 1, 2, 3; yeah!
In-slum-national, underground
Thunder pounds when I stomp the ground (Woo!)
Like a million elephants with silverback orangutans
You can't stop a train
Who want some? Don't come un-pre-pared
I'll be there, but when I leave there
Better be a household name
Weather man tellin' us it ain't gon' rain
So now we sittin' in a drop-top, soakin wet

[Killer Mike]

Our shit don't mix like llao and lukewarm water

Better make it hotter splash ice and watch it rock up

I oughta duct tape your infant daughter

Show y'all soldier ass niggaz
I'm murder city's Sargeant Slaughter

Guaranteed to get more cut than a barber
