Royal Flush
André 3000 Feat. Big Boi & Raekwon Lyrics

I am the wrong nigga to cross and the first nigga to jam
I'm not someone to be messed with, and I'm always the first to start freestyling with my AK-47 by my side.

With the AK-cuatro siete over microphone in hand
I'm always armed with my AK-47, even when I'm freestyling with my microphone.

Goddamn. Generation uno, Dungeon Fam
God damn it, I'm part of the first generation of Dungeon Family.

The lab is filled with potions of emotions out the ass
Our recording studio is full of intense emotions, coming out nonstop.

I laugh when you think that you have seen the last
I find it amusing when people think that they've reached the end, because really it's just the beginning.

But it's only the beginning my nigga don't be so fast
It's just the start, my friend, don't be so quick to think it's over.

Pass gas, slow it down to a screeching halt
Take a moment to pause and slow down instead of rushing ahead so quickly.

Impeach the President 'cause he don't think before he talk
We need to get rid of the President because he doesn't consider the consequences of his actions.

Iraq, goddamn, now he gunning for Iran
We're in Iraq and now the President is targeting Iran.

North Korea got that shit that make LA look like Japan
North Korea has good stuff that's making LA envious.

Our land, nah man, more like the Caribbean
Our land is less like the US and more like the Caribbean.

Billy Ocean bodies floating, take a voyage to Atlantis
Dead bodies are floating and it feels like we're traveling to the mythical city of Atlantis.

They selling glass and blasting, machinery sling past
People are selling drugs and guns while machines speed by.

Next stop, Bowling Green, bling flashing
We're headed to Bowling Green and our bling is shining brightly.

Glow my ass off, Po-Po they try to harass
I'm glowing like crazy and the cops are trying to bother me.

My dough, ching cash, and I sit in my castle bent
I have a lot of cash and I'm sitting in my castle, filled with drugs.

You know the W that come from Dirty Bast
You know that the W from Dirty Bast is the best.

Bird baths, let 'em stunt, we got burners and gats
Let the others show off while we have guns and weapons.

Fly past, buy NASA, caught up with the cash
We're flying past everything and have more money than NASA.

Why blast when you know we in your crib? Bypass
There's no reason to shoot when we know where you live, we'll just bypass you.

I mastered what? The treasurer of getting ass
I've mastered the art of getting laid.

Whip assing, red pipe and leather, slick nasty
We're whipping ass and wearing sexy outfits.

Sassy, but at the same time raspy
I have a sassy voice, but it's also rough and hoarse.

Plug me a thug, your mother eating plaster
Introduce me to a thug and your mother is eating some terrible stuff.

Styles will change. They say change is dang-erous
Fashion trends change, and some people think that's risky.

As a King standing on the terrace
I feel like a king standing on a balcony.

While his partner pointing up at the riflemen
Meanwhile, my partner is pointing at snipers.

Coward shooter, never know when your life will end
You should never underestimate a coward with a gun.

Then live like there ain't no 'morrow
Live life like there's no tomorrow.

And if one come then this the motto
And if tomorrow comes, this will be our motto.

Now I put message in bottle
I'm putting a message in a bottle.

You go to the nearest beach and open your car door
Go to the beach and open your car door.

And walk to the place where the sea meets the land
Walk to where the sea meets the land.

Yeah, it's easier to run the street than walk in the sand
It's easier to walk on the street than it is to walk in the sand.

Hey, I'm talking young man. As if chalk in my hand
Listen up, young man, it's like I'm holding a piece of chalk.

I will take y'all little ass to school
I'm going to teach you all some lessons.

It's cool when the kids call me Sunny, the hood calls me Stacks
The kids call me Sunny while the hood calls me Stacks, and both are fine.

The B's call me honey, Hollywood calls me back
The B's call me honey and Hollywood always comes calling.

Crack and I have a lot in common
I have a lot in common with crack.

We both come up in the 80's and we keep that bass pumping
Both crack and I came up in the 80's and we both love the bass in our music.

That's a nega-tive comparison, embarrassing
That's a terrible comparison and it's embarrassing.

Unfortunate that if you come up fortunate the streets consider you lame
It's unfortunate that if you come from privilege, people on the streets consider you uncool.

Ha, I thought the name of the game was to have a better life
I thought the point of life was to have a better life.

I guess it ain't, what a shame
I guess it's not the case, how sad.

I don't slang. Never slung but I'm one with the slum
I don't sell drugs, but I'm still living in the ghetto.

That has a name well fitting, plenty cheese getting
That's a fitting name for the place, and there's still money to be made.

No wonder why they call it the trap, so watch your tail
No wonder why they call it the trap - so be careful.

And I'm not kidding, the rats and mice would give advice
I'm not joking, even the rats and mice would give better advice than some people.

They say, "you can paint and draw, get out of here
They say you can have a better life, go get out of here.

Go show them that we're more than slanging raw."
Go show them that we're more than just selling drugs.

That's when I broke into my Big Rube impression
That's when I broke into my impression of Big Rube.

And I tried to enlighten but that night I learned a lesson
I tried to enlighten people, but that night I learned a lesson.

That the morals that you think you got go out the window
The morals you think you have can easily be disregarded.

When all the other kids are fresh and they got new Nintendo Wiis
When all the other kids have new video game consoles and trendy clothes.

And your child is down on her knees praying hard up to God
And you see your child on her knees praying hard to God.

For a Whopper with cheese
Praying for a burger.

Do you B) hit the street hard with a flair
Do you throw yourself into the streets with gusto?

Or do you A) go to school for heating and air?
Or do you go to school for air conditioning and heating?

Dare make an honest living or make a crooked killing
Do you make an honest living or do you get rich unethically?

Or do a bit of both until you're holding on a million?
Or maybe a combination of both until you're a millionaire.

Brilliant. You got one foot in, one foot out
You're brilliant, you're straddling the line with one foot in and one foot out.

You put your left foot back in and then you shake it all about
You take a step forward, and then you take a step back.

You do the hokey pokey til you turn your life around
You do the hokey pokey until you've turned your life around.

That's what it's all about, 3000 out
That's what life is all about, I'm out.
