The Whole World Songtext
von OutKast feat. Killer Mike

Okay, here we go

Yeah, I′m afraid, like I'm scared as a dog
But I′ve got a new song
And I want y'all to sing along, sing along

See, this is the way that we walk on a sunny day
When it's rainin′ inside
And you′re, all alone, all alone, yeah

'Cause the whole world loves it when you don′t get down
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)
And the whole world loves it when you make that sound
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)

And the whole world loves it when you're in the news
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)
And the whole world loves it when you sang the blues
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)


Take a little trip, hater, pack up yo′ mind
Look forward, not behind then you'll see what you find
I caught a sucker dyin′ 'cause he thought, he could rhyme
If his momma is a quarter
Daughter must be a dime, I gotta meet her
Don't take no shorts, I don′t use abbreviation
I don′t even play the radio neither
Only if I need to know the sports or the weather
I'm a cool type of brother but yep, your head I′ll sever from the neck

See, ain't nuttin′ changed, hit the stage
Set a date, sucker, in battle we can engage
I'll slice you, wife you, marry you, divorce you
Throw the Porsche at you is what I′m forced to do
With my back against the wall, crack his back, y'all
No, it ain't went nowhere like havin′ hair with stylin′ gel in it
Throw a curl in it
Dread that nappy shit up, throw a shell in it

Whatever floats your boat or finds your lost remote
And this for them niggas workin' at the airport
Who got laid off, I take my shades off
If you look straight in my eyes, you still might see a disguise

′Cause the whole world loves it when you don't get down
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)
And the whole world loves it when you make that sound
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)


And the whole world loves it when you′re in the news
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)
And the whole world loves it when you sang the blues
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)

Player, I grind, my focus is crime
Raw with the rhyme, I'm slick with the slime
My words are diamonds dug out a mine
Spit ′em, polish, look how they shine
Glitter, glisten, gloss, floss
I catch a beat runnin' like Randy Moss
Ride that bitch off like a brand-new horse
I'm rollin′ my stones, gatherin′ no moss

Mami, I'm comin′, I hope you get off
Or rock your own boat like Aaliyah then talk
Back, back, forth, forth
Get that sailor on course, course
Make that track a corpse, corpse
Rap, roll, utterly rocked
With my mouth to the mic and my hand on my -
Cadillac, OutKast just won't stop

′Cause the whole world loves it when you don't get down
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)
And the whole world loves it when you make that sound
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)

And the whole world loves it when you′re in the news
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)
And the whole world loves it when you sang the blues
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)

Turn on the TV and everything is lookin' dismal
Went in the bathroom, medicine cabinet Pepto-Bismal
Need it for my stomach 'cause my tummy kinda aches
Like a junkie on withdrawal, fresh up off the plate
Wait, back to the enemy of the state
Is the Republicans or Democratic candidate
Debate, now, even the black box hold the fate
Clueless like Shaggy and Scooby befo′ commercial break

Hate, extreme prejudice, let′s dismiss this
If you want to, you can dub it to your hit list
I know you gon' to, we in this to replenish yo′ musical wishlist
When it come to this music, we stay relentless
Pursuing all that's persuable
Doing God′s willing, all things that are doable
The only liable limitation is yourself
Dre set it on the right, and I'll set it on the left ′cause

'Cause the whole world loves it when you don't get down
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)
And the whole world loves it when you make that sound
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)

And the whole world loves it when you′re in the news
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)
And the whole world loves it when you sang the blues
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)
