I said, ‘What you wanna be?’ She said, ‘Alive.’
It made me think for a minute, then looked in her eyes
…I coulda died.
Andre 3000, “Da Art of Storytellin’ (Part 1),” from Outkast’s Aquemini, 1998. More from Outkast…
Classic rap lyrics about life, love, money and more.
I said, ‘What you wanna be?’ She said, ‘Alive.’
It made me think for a minute, then looked in her eyes
…I coulda died.
I live by the beat like you live check to check.
If you don’t move your feet then I don’t eat,
So we like neck to neck.
Everybody’s got opinions on the way you’re livin’,
But see, they can’t fill your shoes.
Your white tee, well to me, looks like a nightgown;
Make your mama proud, take that thing two sizes down.
You were perfect before you went on a diet,
You was way thicker, you think I don’t remember?
Shit…the magazines got to ya head…
