8 BARS: “13th Floor/Growing Old” — Andre 3000
From Outkast’s 1996 ATLiens
“13th Floor/Growing” — Andre 3000
I bet you never heard of a playa with no game.
Told the truth to get what I want, but shot it with no shame.
Take this music dead serious while others entertain.
I see they makin’ they paper,
so I guess I can’t complain or can I?
I feel they disrespectin’ the whole thang.
Them hooks like sellin’ dope to black folks.
And I choke when the food they serve ain’t tastin’ right.
My stomach can’t digest it, even when I bless it.
I’m confessin’ one mo’ lesson,
From the South, we in the house tonight
