Verse 1: Big Boi]As the world shakes unharmedTwan, calm in the middle of the storm bombFlow tsunami, ring the alarmBig Boi for dummies come and get someUhh, wisdom, like yo back teethOr get the ***** on, like some bad chiNegative energy not toleratedYou all about a dollar and I'm exoneratedFreefalling, Tom Petty heartbreakerLiving legend, rap scholar, art majorCause I make major artLike Beethoven, Van Gogh, or Mozart so don’t startAround these parts we reign supremeAnd stay Krispy Kreme cleanBlue jeans, JordansNumber 3's, that’s important[Hook: Kelly Rowland]Be careful how you play your cards (My mama told me)Be true to self and you’ll go far (That's what mama told me)Try not to break too many hearts (That's what mama told me)I always knew I’d be a star (That’s what mama told me)[Verse 2: Big Boi]Mama used to say take your timeWell I’m a pickpocket when I design rhymesEvery little step I take like Bob BrownIt's so profound that when I throw those nounsWe gon' get low low down until we get back upEverything gravy, taters mashed upYou know I keep a full plateAnd a full thing of hot ones, throw away 38'sBut everything's straight, Bleed, shitI got everything I can needMe, boy, I’m everything you can’t seeLike three blind mice, on the chase of some great cheeseAnd Cheddar Man say he got some great treesSay he serve me and my nigga Three GButt tees, Jordans, number 5, you niggas boring[Hook][Verse 3: Kelly Rowland]Cause I travel like a rocket, I doMind riddle every socket for youI sway on the edge of the lightningMagnetic, can’t stopJust floating won’t dropI slip (I slip) I slide (I slide)Back up the rideI skippin' every mountaintopI'm reachin' for the highest high[Hook]
