OutKast — The Rooster

[Intro] Hold up Oooh, oooh, ooh Somebody done told you wrong [Verse 1] OK, I started out all alone 'Cause my baby mama left me Now there's nobody at home Beginning to feel like Ms. Jackson done got cloned Well it's some real shit and I'm living it through this song A moving vehicle took my family As I slept out on the sofa in the Boom Boom Room I woke up very upset I throw the covers back and peek out of the draperies My daughter, my baby, my baby mama all escaping me Like a candle in the wind, she was my friend Like Princess Di before she died, therefore we tried and tried again But in the end, you pay attention to the pluses But the minuses behind make it seem like you can't win [Hook] Throw your neck out Throw your back out Throw your neck out Throw your back out Throw your neck out Throw your back out Throw your neck out Throw your back out [Verse 2] Round two, a single parent, what is Big to do? Throw a party? Not hardly; I'm trying to stay up outta that womb Or that p-u-s-s puss, I said puss Luther Vandross couldn't make a home out of this house that we smooshed Smashed, pushed to the limit, Smash and turned it timid Hell everyone was suffering, the house was feeling wicked The cat got sold, the dog got old, the food got cold Both of our tempers were on swole For the most, most part, you fuss, fight, fart You build it up to break it down and now take it from the start Repeatedly leading a path that only ends in a clash Of two stubborn minds, grown folks blind to the signs [Hook] Throw your neck out Throw your back out Throw your neck out Throw your back out Throw your neck out Throw your back out Throw your neck out Throw your back out [Verse 3] K-O, knocked out by technicality The love has kissed the canvas, now the whole family is mad at me My daughter don't want me at her PTA meetings And then my son, he can't talk, when I change him he's peeing I think he's pissed, I can't dismiss the matter of the fact Because he saw you and me argue, now the energy is coming back Set an example, a positive pattern, keep life on track But I'm married to the music and committed to the wax [Bridge] Tapes, CDs, Baby please, you make me want to scream You're on my team starting first string so why are we arguing? (Wax) Tapes, CDs, Baby please, you make me want to scream You're on my team starting first string so why are we arguing? Throw your fuckin [Hook] Throw your neck out Throw your back out Throw your neck out Throw your back out Throw your neck out Throw your back out Throw your neck out Throw your back out [Bridge] Tapes, CDs, Baby please, you make me want to scream You're on my team starting first string so why are we arguing? Wax, tapes, CDs, Baby please, you make me want to scream You're on my team starting first string so why are we arguing? Throw your fuckin [Hook] Throw your neck out Throw your back out Throw your neck out Throw your back out Throw your neck out Throw your back out Throw your neck out Throw your back out
