[Intro]

Greetings, earthling

Take me to your leader

Ooh, shit


[Chorus: André 3000]

Deep, you wanna go deep, I'll take you deep

You know you fucked up when you let my mind creep

Deeper than the page of a book, let me look

You let me hit the stage, now I got my folks hooked

Like, deep, you wanna go deep, I'll take you deep

You know you fucked up when you let my mind creep

Deeper than the page of a book, let me look

You let me hit the stage, now I got my folks hooked

Like, deep


[Verse 1: André 3000]

Deeper than deep dish, hammers and vogues

Deeper than sea fish in the O (Cean)

I got my gun on standby like Coast Guards

You boast hard, you'll get your salty ass crumbled like herb (Word, ayy, man)

You heard it here first, put your master plan in reverse

I ain't the one with the curse, so disperse

Yes, catching plagues, niggas catching AIDS

Niggas getting sprayed, niggas on they way

To a dead end, you won't catch me spreading no white thighs

I only see afro bitches up in my eyes

I don't eat no beef and surely not no pork

I used to drink that eight, but now I shove it down your throat

Quote, "If they kill they own folks, what you think they gonna do to you?"

I'm outcasted and claiming true

Aiming two at your motherfucking spine

No, I make that three 'cause I don't wanna hear you whine, swine

Got my folks blind like Stevie

Me be wondering when I'm gonna see the end

Andre Ben' slamming backs like King acts

Over Organized tracks full of facts

So you know that it's deep


[Chorus: André 3000]

You wanna go deep, I'll take you deep

You know you fucked up when you let my mind creep

Deeper than the page of a book, let me look

You let me hit the stage, now I got my folks hooked

Like, deep, you wanna go deep, I'll take you deep

You know you fucked up when you let my mind creep

Deeper than the page of a book, let me look

You let me hit the stage, now I got my folks hooked

Like, deep


[Verse 2: Big Boi]

Well, you want me to get deep, well then, I will

What? What will happen if you shoot that nigga and don't kill?

He will come back and return like Lalah Hathaway

Aiming for your skull, yeah, I'm flexing on you that a-way

So if you pulling a tool, nigga, you better use it

'Cause if you threaten my life, better believe I'll be a fool with it

I don't take no shit from nobody

I gots the Goodie Mo crew right beside of me

Damn, no pain, no gain, so I'ma hurt you

Breaking knees and elbows like I used to break my curfew

My mama used to tell me if a nigga ever hit me

Just to pick up the closest thing and knock the living shit out of he

So if you run up, you get done up, I'ma end it

Throw the gun up out the window, see the corner, then I bent it

It's just so simple how we get so deep

Learn a lesson, pick up the album when it hits the streets like


[Chorus: André 3000]

Deep, you wanna go deep, I'll take you deep

You know you fucked up when you let my mind creep

Deeper than the page of a book, let me look

You let me hit the stage, now I got my folks hooked

Like, deep, you wanna go deep, I'll take you deep

You know you fucked up when you let my mind creep

Deeper than the page of a book, let me look

You let me hit the stage, now I got my folks hooked

Like, deep


[Verse 3: André 3000]

No, I ain't never been pimped by the system, that's because I ain't no slave

Don't be tryin' to sunbathe, never lived off in no cave

Bloody old chap and in this head of mine is full of naps

And the only thing I know is how to fuck and how to rap (Nah)

Y'all think I'm stupid 'cause I shoots 'em up like cupid

And if you gave me a basketball, I'd show you how to shoot it

My head's polluted 'cause I'm zooted, bobbin' to the bottom

If a pair of Jordans came out, y'all'd figure that I got 'em

But, no, I don't because I don't be having funds

The gold that I am wearing is really made out of bronze

It weighs a ton and making my neck turn green

And I gots a criminal record that will never come clean

Oh, and it seems that I make babies like a rabbit

And then never taking care of them has just become a habit

I grab my tablet and get busy with the pen

Y'all could not be just like me if y'all was my twin

So you get mad and try to make me inferior

You pissing me off, I'm in that ass like interior

Oh, step in my Cadillac, let's ride through the hood

Hey, why don't you roll that window down so you can see it real good?

And take a look at all the pimps and all the pushers and the players

That's living on a wing, thin ice, and a prayer

Oh, and mayor, can I gets a little backup?

Please don't let them Dixie motherfuckers put that flag up

But let me shut up 'cause they say we equal

Whenever the fuck our record comes out in 1994

Yeah, yes, sir, it's like that

Gonna take y'all deep, so go back


[Chorus: André 3000]

Deep, you wanna go deep, I'll take you deep

You know you fucked up when you let my mind creep

Deeper than the page of a book, let me look

You let me hit the stage, now I got my folks hooked

Like, deep, you wanna go deep, I'll take you deep

You know you fucked up when you let my mind creep

Deeper than the page of a book, let me look

You let me hit the stage, now I got my folks hooked

Like


[Verse 4: Big Boi]

I'm getting deeper than that prostitute's vagina

And pimping way more hoes than there's peoples out in China

I roll that black 'Lac with the crushed velvet interior

Niggas try to bite that shit, but their shit is inferior

We rolling thick like the Pillsbury Doughboy

And I don't give a damn, motherfucker, 'cause you know why

The Caucus Mountains and the mutant gene

You try to wipe a nigga like me slam up off the scene

You hairy bastard, work a little bit faster

Because of the shit that I done been through, I shall never call you master

You D-E-V-I-L, the cave is where you dwell

So stay up out the rain, it's beginning to smell like dog, yeah

I wonder how you would be acting if you's in my shoes

You'd probably shit your tight-ass drawers 'cause I got a short-ass fuse

So what do you really wanna do when I get militant?

Thought I was a pimp, flip the script, but you can get with it

They call me Big Boi, I be capping with a big gun

Run up on it if you want it, then you bite the big one, yeah

Uh-huh, yeah, like that, can you deal with it, D-E-V-I-L?


[Chorus: André 3000]

Deep, you wanna go deep, I'll take you deep

You know you fucked up when you let my mind creep

Deeper than the page of a book, let me look

You let me hit the stage, now I got my folks hooked

Like, deep, you wanna go deep, I'll take you deep

You know you fucked up when you let my mind creep

Deeper than the page of a book, let me look

You let me hit the stage, now I got my folks hooked

Like, deep
