Repeat This Throughout The Entire Song  
[Andre 3000]
Remember back in da time
When da only sign we had was picket
But now in '94 it be
This way somethin' come wicked
Gangs killin' others fo colors
Thangs that we wear fo fashion
Other brothers take it fo a reason
To be blastin' what da cuff is goin' on
Not soft like buttercupus but
Had enough of singin' dat same song
See I stayed across da street from da projects
Took out yo momma trash and groceries
To her trunk to keep my pockets
Fat like cellulite only been to jail one week
Fo some shullbit and I pray to God I won't repeat
I shoulda pulled it when I had da chance to
No I shouldna did dat 'cause if I did dat
Yall would not hear dat fat shit
Dat keeps you on yo tippy -
Toes like dat sellout not callin' no names
But really who's bad
I go through obstacles like a whole box
Of condoms you can't forget
Where you come from
[Verse]
Take a good look in the mirror and tell
Me do you like what you see
Masters of deception corruption and evil
But you're always quick to point the finger at me
Won't somebody tell me
[Chorus] 
I just don't understand
The ways of the world today
Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for
So I'm longing for the days of yesterday
[Verse 2]
What gave you the right to misjudge me
And write me off on the wall
Acting as if you understand me
In reality you just don't know me at all
Sometimes I can't help but wonder
If this was how it's meant to be
But if you search deep enough in your soul
You'll always find a slight reminder of me
Won't somebody tell me
[Chorus] 
[Left Eye] 
If we could all agree to lettin'
Our souls become free of that sweet
Bitterness then whose chest would
Have the most seeds
I keep misfocusin' my needs
And this stress on my back
With them caps they be blastin'
Into my knap sack
Ain't no accidental deathtraps
My mishap is the fact that
I'm destined to snap
It's when I feel as though my body's
Able to go my mind is ready to flow
Did you know first you catch
And then I throw
It's my own sense of time
If I'm late it's 'cause I'm endin' my day
Just when the sun shines
And still gently advising the arisin'
Of the moon as it rolls around
Into my soundproof dimension
[Chorus]

Remember back in da time

When da only sign we had was picket

But now in '94 it be

This way somethin' come wicked

Gangs killin' others fo colors

Thangs that we wear fo fashion

Other brothers take it fo a reason

To be blastin' what da cuff is goin' on

Not soft like buttercupus but

Had enough of singin' dat same song

See I stayed across da street from da projects

Took out yo momma trash and groceries

To her trunk to keep my pockets

Fat like cellulite only been to jail one week

Fo some shullbit and I pray to God I won't repeat

I shoulda pulled it when I had da chance to

No I shouldna did dat 'cause if I did dat

Yall would not hear dat fat shit

Dat keeps you on yo tippy -

Toes like dat sellout not callin' no names

But really who's bad

I go through obstacles like a whole box

Of condoms you can't forget

Where you come from

[Verse]

Take a good look in the mirror and tell

Me do you like what you see

Masters of deception corruption and evil

But you're always quick to point the finger at me

Won't somebody tell me

[Chorus]

I just don't understand

The ways of the world today

Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for

So I'm longing for the days of yesterday

[Verse 2]

What gave you the right to misjudge me

And write me off on the wall

Acting as if you understand me

In reality you just don't know me at all

Sometimes I can't help but wonder

If this was how it's meant to be

But if you search deep enough in your soul

You'll always find a slight reminder of me
