Everlasting - Intellectual

[Chorus: Rodney O]

Everlasting

[Verse 1: André 3000]

Now, sittin' in the bathtub, listenin' to the Isley

Brothers and others outside my door, want to despise me

Reminds me, that everyone ain't cool, the world is jealous

Never could understand, when my mama use to tell us

"Don't take your food outside around your friends, unless you got enough to feed the neighborhood"

The play has just began, follow me, now (Follow me, now)

Act 1 Scene 2, the date 1/1/96 the time, I don't know

Mood disturbed, Dre goes on, to say that they tryin' to get over

Like them niggas with the blinker on, I got my thinker on

So, I'm like "Word, however you want to act, is fine," that is real as fishing rods

I might be kissin' God but I'm still in the battle

So if you got cattle, you best be fasting

For seven days and seven nights, we everlasting

Twenty years young, on a quest, to get my class ring

Just for them fhite wolks, I will, if it's the last thing

I do (I do, I do, I do)

[Chorus: Rodney O]

Everlasting

[Interlude: Big Boi]

Yeah, slick, know what I'm sayin', I'm gonna tell you like this

Just 'cause I live the apartment don't mean you can keep puttin' these notes under my windshield, I'm tellin' you

Shorty gon' bust your ass about that shit

[Verse 2: Big Boi]

Check it, hey y'all, hey y'all, hey y'all, hoes

Back up in this bitch rippin' these tracks like I'm supposed

Tommy and Ralph Lauren don't like niggas to wear they clothes

Where your proof at? Who's that? Talkin' that shit like those (Uh)

Keepin' the rumors up, I wish I lived in a fuckin' cave (Yeah)

I ride the streets in Lexus, all these crows they wanna be saved

Go to college, get a job 'cause all you want to do is shake (Uh)

I use to hit Club Nikki's but I gave that shit a break

Just like Maaco, Waco, burn it to the ground (Uh)

I bet you eatin' that pork when your partners ain't around

Backdraft, scenes of Shaft splackin' these hoes just like he's supposed to

Quote you: "Big Boi is the pimp-ass nigga that formed you"

Like pottery, sloppily, playin' hoes like lotteries

OutKast did the dirt and now you swear your shit is poppin', see

You bit (Beats), we makin' hits, so give me your flag back

I'm livin' in the SWATS so you may call me Daddy Fat Sax

Yeah, you know what I'm sayin'? Like this

Everlasting

[Chorus: Rodney O]

Everlasting

[Verse 3: Big Boi]

One in a million men passin' the J off in the culture

Don't y'all smoke a couple of pounds and get tore up y'all

And tear the devil headquarters down to the grizzound

Is how we hit the house and puff a couple of good pounds

Of good weed, PeeWee, my nigga Little Beewee

We need a fifty box of Phillies and some bouncin' titties

From the Magic, the Flame

Nikki's too, and share in Sequel's

Never payin' for no pussy

You can shake it, you can keep it to yourself, ho

[Verse 4: André 3000]

You left your morals at the door, when you stepped in, crept in

Naked as babies at the beach, so

Now you wonder why your nigga done bust you in the fore (Fore)

Head, ain't no respect there, so now you just assed out like breech

Delivery, slivery got you swung on

These types of things go on from here to Bowen Home to London

England, Wall Street to y'all street

Sometimes I get bewildered and it throws a nigga like me off beat

But I'm back on it

Because we lastin' 'ever, sound good, don't it?

Rattlin' your trunks like FAMU and the component

Said that's it—

Man, fuck that shit

On and on and on and I'm out

[Chorus: Rodney O]

Everlasting
