[Interlude: Big Rube]

Operatin' under the crooked American system too long

OutKast, pronounced outcast

Adjective, meaning homeless, or unaccepted in society

But let's look deeper than that

Are you an OutKast?

If you understand and feel the basic principles and fundamental truths contained within this music, you probably are

If you think it's all about pimpin' hoes and slamming Cadillac doors

You probably a cracker or a nigga that think he a cracker or maybe just don't understand

An OutKast is someone who is not considered to be part of the normal world

He's looked at differently

He's not accepted because of his clothes, his hair, his occupation, his beliefs, or his skin color

Now look at yourself

Are you an OutKast?

I know I am

As a matter of fact, fuck being anything else

It's only so much time left in this crazy world

Wake up, niggas, and realize what's going on around you

Poisonin' of the food and water

Tamperin' of cigarettes

Disease engineering

Control over your life

Take back your existence or die like a punk

This is Big Rube, sayin' right on to the real and death to the fakers

Peace out
