I don't recall ever graduatin at all

Sometimes I feel I'm just a disappointment to y'all

Every day I just lay around then I can't be found

Always asked to give me some livin life like a bum

Times is rough my auntie got enough problems of her own

Ni**a you supposed to be grown

I agree I try to be the man I'm 'posed to be

But negativity is all you seem to ever see

I admit I've done some dumb sh*t

And I'm probably gon do some mo'

You shouldn't hold that against me though (Why not )

Why not My music's all that I got

But some time must be ingested for this to be manifested

I know you know but I'm gon say this to you I

Get high but I don't get too high

So what's the limit 'posed to be

That must be why you can't get your a** up out the bed before three

You need to git up git out cut that b******t out

Ain't you sick and tired of having to do without

And what up with all these questions

As act as though you know somethin I don't Do you have any suggestions

Cuz every job I get is cruel and demeanin

Sick of takin trash out and toilet bowl cleanin

But I'm also sick and tired of strugglin

I never ever thought I'd have resort to ** smugglin

Naw that ain't what I'm about

Cee-Lo is just continue travelin his route

Without any doubt or fear

I know the Lord ain't brought me this far so he could drop me off here

In the middle school I was a bigger fool

I wore with tank tops to show off my tattoo thought I was cool

I used to hang out with my daddy's brothers I call them my uncles

They taught me how to smoke herb I followed them when they ran numbers

So in a sense I was Rosemary's baby

And then I learned the difference between a b**ch and a lady

Hell I treat 'em all like hoes see I pimped 'em

B**ch never had my money so I never whipped 'em

See all the playas came and all the playas went

A playa ain't a gangsta but a playa can handle his sh*t b**ch

Alot of people in my past tried to do me screw me

Throw me over in the fire let me get chunky in charge

Like a piece of one of your spirits got the mutants mind

I'm gettin paranoid and steady lookin for the time

It's eight in the mornin and ain't nobody up yet

I got my long johns get my coat and throw on my ball cap

I'm headed out the door to get off in my ride

I'm diggin through the ash tray hopin to have a good day

I had Jamaica's best and when I light it up I hear a voice in my head

(You got to git up git out and git somethin)

Now I know it's on my day is finally started

Back up in my crib eat my sh*t break out quick in my slick

'84 Se-dun-Deville steady bouncin out the point to Camerton Road

The valley of the Southside flow

Everybody know about that killa that we call blow so

Keep your eyes peeled for the 'cover unit

Cuz they know we're jumpin out a black Chevy truck and want trues to fall

Here come the Red Dogs I'm bustin out around the corner in my hog

Dippin from the area I'm scared

So one of these b**ches might wind up dead

Cuz I have no time for bail F**k Clampett cops F**k Elgin Bail

And crooked a** Jackson got the whole country

Thinkin that my city is the big lick for 96

94 Big Gipp Goodie Mo Outkast a vision from the past

Hootie Hoo my white owls are burnin kinda slow

You need to git up git out and git somethin

Y'all tellin me that I need to get out and vote huh Why

Ain't nobody black runnin but crackers so why I got to register

I thinkin of better sh*t to do with my time

Never smelled aroma of diploma but I write the deep a** rhymes

So let me take ya way back to when a ni**a stayed in Southwest Atlanta

Y'all could not tell me nuthin thought I hit that bottom rock

At age 13 start workin at the loadin dock

They layin my mama off of work General Motors trippin

But I come home bank like Hank from hittin and dippin

Doin dumb sh*t not knowin what a ni**a know now

Yeah that petty sh*t will have you cased up and locked down

I dips over to East Point still actin a fool

Wastin my time in the school I'd rather be shootin pool

Cool is how I played the tenth grade

I thought it was all about mackin hoes and wearin pimp fade

Instead of bein in class I'd rather be up in some a**

Not thinkin about them six courses that I need to pass

Graduation rolled around like rolly-pollies

Damn that's f**ked up I shoulda listened when my mama told me

That if you play now you gonna suffer later

Figured she was talkin yin-yang so I payed her no attention

And kept missin the point she tried to poke me with

The doper that I get the more I'm feelin broke and sh*t

Huh but that don't matter though I am an O-UT-KAST

So get up off your a**

You need to git up git out and git somethin
