[Verse 1: André 3000]

I came into this world high as a bird

From secondhand cocaine powder—I know it sounds absurd

I never tooted, but it's in my veins

While the rest of the country bungies off bridges without no snap-back

And, bitches, they say they need that to shake they fannies in the ass clubs

They go the other route, turn each other out, burn each other out

Where a bona fide nigga like me can't even get no backrub these days

Ain't that bleak on they part?

But let me hold it down

'Cause they shut you down when you speak from your heart

Now, that's hard

While we rantin' and ravin' 'bout gats

Nigga, they made them gats, they got some shit that'll blow out our back

From where they stay at

[Chorus: Andrea Martin]

Ooh-ooh-ooh, I fear the battle's just begun

Ooh-ooh-ooh, though we're here, someday we will be gone

So I'm hopin' (Hopin'), wishin' (Wishin'), prayin'

To keep my faith in you (Keep my faith)

In you (In you, oh)

[Verse 2: André 3000]

Yo, yo, yo

I'm fascinated by the way your nipples peek at me through your blouse

Freaky me, freaky you, can't help but be aroused

'Scuse me, Lord, lustful thinkin', but that was the way we was brought up

Sneakin' to watch Playboy at night

We all must be caught up in worldly ways

Chemistry between boys and girls

Is a lot, like when we went to the woods and laid with the squirrels

During P.E., we'd be–explorin' each others privates

Hunchin' with all our clothes on until we felt excited, then... (Ah...)

Oh, now it's on from here on out

Put yo' hands in the atmosphere, if you know what I'm talkin' about

Now if too harsh then walk on out and I'll see you on the next song

They call it horny because it's devilish, now, see, we dead wrong

[Chorus: Andrea Martin]

Ooh-ooh-ooh, I fear the battle's just begun (Oh-ohh-mm)

Ooh-ooh-ooh, though we're here someday we will be gone

So I'm hopin', wishin', prayin'

To keep my faith in you (To keep my faith in you)

In you (Oh, ooh)

[Verse 3: Big Boi]

People don't know the stress I'm dealin' with, day to day (Day)

Speakin' about the feelings I'm possessin' for Rene

Mopin' around and wonderin' where she stay, saw her last that she lay

"Give it another day," I say, but the Lord, he taketh away

Now give it back, Lord

'Cause that's like backboards without the rims

Me and my auntie was tight like Southwest

Before the pinks moved in

Like the niggas who owned the liquor stores

Crack cocaine, pimps, and whores

Livin' up on this Earth before a nigga like Daddy was born

But they be makin' it seem that my music and crime are team

But I'm speakin' the truth, not dreams (Dream)

So what in the fuck they mean? My lyrics stay clean (Yeah)

[Chorus: Andrea Martin]

Ooh-ooh-ooh, I fear the battle's just begun

Ooh-ooh-ooh, though we're here, someday we will be gone

(So I keep hopin') So I'm hopin'

(And) wishin', (And) prayin' (Prayin')

To keep my faith in you (My faith in you)

In you

Ooh-ooh-ooh, I fear the battle's just begun (Just begun, oh-woah)

Ooh-ooh-ooh, though we're here, someday we will be gone (Oh, yeah)

So I'm hopin', wishin', prayin' (Ooh)

To keep my faith in you (My faith in you)

In you

Ooh-ooh-ooh,, I fear the battle's just begun (Yeah... oh, yeah...)

Ooh-ooh-ooh,, though we're here, someday, we will be gone

(I keep hopin') So I'm hopin', wishin', prayin'

To keep my faith in you

[Outro: Andrea Martin]

My faith in you

My faith in you

My faith in you (Keep my faith)

My faith in you

My faith in you

My faith in you

My faith...
