Outkast - The Rooster Lyrics
Hold up!Oooh, oooh! Somebody done told you you wrong![Verse 1:] Ok, I start out all alone'Cause my baby mama left meNow there's nobody at homeBeginning to feel like Ms. Jackson done got cloned!Well it's some real shit and I'm lving it through this song!A moving vehicle took my familyAs I slept out on the sofa in the Boom Boom RoomI woke up very upset!I throw the covers back and peek out of the draperiesMy daughter, my baby, my baby mama all escaping me!In the wind, she was my friendLike Princess Di before she diedTherefore we tried and tried againBut in the end you pay attention to the plusesBut the minuses behind make it seem like you can't win![Hook:] Throw your neck out! Throw your back out! [4x][Verse 2:] Round two, a single parent, what is Big to do?Throw a parrty? Not hardly!! i'm trying to stay up outta that womb!!Or that w-u-s-s wuss! I said wuss!Luther Vandross couldn't make a home out of this house that we smooshedSmashed, pushed to the limit! Smash and turned it timid!Hell everyone was suffering, the house was feeling wicked hellThe cat got sold, the dog got old, the food got cold!Both of our tempers were on swolleFor the most part you fuss, fight, fart!You build it up to break it down and now take it from the startRepeatedly leading a path that only ends in a clashOf two stubborn minds, grown folks blind to the sign![Hook][Verse 3:] K-O, knocked out by technicalityThe love has kissed the canvasNow the whole family is mad at meMy daughter don't want me at her PTA meetingsAnd then my son he can't talk, when I change him he's peeingI think he's pissed!I can't dismiss the matter of the fact because he saw you and me argueNow the energy is coming backSet an example, a positive pattern, keep life on trackBut I'm married to the music and committed to the wax, tapes and CDsBaby please, you make me want to scream!You're on my team starting first string so why are we arguing?[Repeat][Hook]
