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…
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…
