I Do
Andre 3000 Lyrics

Yo clan, we in here
Hey, our group is present and accounted for

5 o'clock in the morning, it might be 3 though
It's late at night, possibly early morning, time is uncertain

I said I see some ladies in here tonight I might marry
I notice some attractive women here, and one of them might become my wife

Gone of the Belve' and 'tron, it's too scary
Under the influence of alcohol and drugs, feeling overwhelmed

Baby you can have whatever you like, the tooth fairy
I'm willing to give you anything you desire, like a fairy granting wishes

I'll do anything to leave here tonight with you, cherie
I'm willing to go to any lengths to accompany you when we leave this place, my dear

I said I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
I'm expressing my commitment and willingness to marry

(You know I do)
You're aware of my sincerity

I said now what it is, what it do, home girl ain't got a clue
I'm asking what's happening, what's up, and the girl doesn't have a clue

If I get you open all the things that I would do to you
If you become receptive to me, I have many things planned for our intimacy

Smack it up, flip it down, weigh it up, break it down
Engaging in sexual activities with enthusiasm and intensity

Lean you to ya side yeah and ask ya who's ya daddy now
I'll position you in a certain way, causing you to question who's in control

Ye ain't gotta even open your eyes, know what you're looking at
You don't even have to open your eyes to recognize and understand what's happening

And I ain't even have to open my eyes when I was cooking that
Even while engaging in sexual activities, I didn't need to open my eyes to know what I was doing

Guess it was love at first sight, eye contact
I believe our love started immediately upon making eye contact for the first time

Remember the night we first met, I caught a contact
I remember the night we met, I caught a feeling or influence from being around you

Now she's my ride or die, it's us against the world
She's now my loyal and supportive partner, and we're united in facing challenges together

You know we both hustlin', so hustlin' is our world
Both of us are involved in striving and working hard, so our focus is on that lifestyle

Since I must've had too much to drink, I'm in my G-Mode
Since I must have consumed excessive alcohol, I'm now in an aggressive or assertive state

So all the ladies repeat after me 'cause it's the G-Code
All the women should say the same thing I'm saying, as it's a universal rule of conduct

Promise if I get locked, you'll come and pay my bond?
Can you promise that if I get arrested, you'll come and pay my bail?

If you hear some niggas plotting on me, you'll ring the alarm
If you hear some individuals planning harm against me, you'll notify and alert me

And every time you give it to me, it's gon be the bomb
Every time we engage in intimate activities, it will be amazing and explosive

And in these unlucky streets, you're gon' be my lucky charm
In these challenging and unfortunate surroundings, you'll be my source of luck and fortune

I, Vito, promise to treat this game i-deal
I, André, pledge to handle this situation or industry with fairness and integrity

Honor the code, not bring drama to mama's peephole
Respecting the rules and avoiding unnecessary conflict or trouble

Life's a bitch but she's the only love that I know
Life can be challenging, but it's the only thing I truly understand and love

So lady, after the 'I do's', let's do Mercedes
So, my love, after we get married, let's go for a ride in a Mercedes

Let's tie the knot, let's grab us a pot, let's make a baby
Let's consolidate our relationship, acquire financial stability, and start a family

Looking back, I don't know who threw this bouquet to me
Reflecting on the past, I'm unsure who gifted me this symbol of marriage

But I walk down this aisle faithfully, cut that cake for me
Regardless, I am committed to walking down the aisle and sharing a wedding cake

I, Jay-Z, take this unlawful lady to have and to hold
I, André, jokingly referring to myself as Jay-Z, promise to take this unconventional woman as mine

And 'til the task force roll
And until law enforcement intervenes or investigates

To hug her every corner 'til I get ash from the cold
I'll protect and embrace her at every turn until I turn to ash due to old age

Or until I've amassed a fortune, too much cash for me to fold
Or until I've accumulated a great wealth that it becomes impossible for me to ignore

Fold under pressure I would never, ever, ever, ever
I would never succumb to pressure situations, no matter what

Your secrets I treasure, for better or worse
I value and keep your secrets, regardless of the circumstances

You'll always be my first love 'til death do us part
You will forever remain my initial and most significant love until we are separated by death

Pull a hearse up, my verse up
Bring a hearse to the funeral, as my musical verse will be performed

Nothing's more attractive than a heavy praying woman
A woman who prays fervently is exceptionally alluring

To a him when those and them been defecating on me
To me, who has been oppressed and disrespected by others

Her would sense the heaven, and him when Andre omen
She would experience a feeling of heaven or transcendence, and I, André, would provide a sign of something significant

Baby I'm hell, save me, don't bail
Darling, I may be a difficult person, but please don't abandon me

Crazy I tell you all of this in the middle of a club
It may seem irrational or absurd that I'm sharing these thoughts in a club environment

Where words tend to get thrown around lightly like like like 'love'
In a place where expressions like 'love' are often used casually or insincerely

'Friend,' 'rock star' and 'So and so's a genius'
Referring to acquaintances as 'friends,' praising individuals as 'rock stars,' or labeling them as 'geniuses'

So him vow to never utter him do unless him mean it
Therefore, I promise to only say 'I do' when I genuinely mean it

Her proud like her mother and ooohh momma's sweet
She possesses her mother's admirable qualities, and oh, her mother is lovely

So you just know that juicy fruit ain't gon' fall too far from tree
From this, you can infer that she will inherit her mother's appealing characteristics

So if we ever woop the woop
If we encounter an undesirable situation

I want all that bleepty bleep
I want all that drama or trouble to be avoided or eliminated

On this nasty carpet Bixby fresh on one knee
On this unpleasant or dirty floor, I'll kneel down in a romantic gesture

Say I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
So please say 'I do' in response, indicating your agreement and commitment

So we can float up outta here in this hot air balloon
Then, together, we can gracefully and joyfully leave this place in a hot air balloon

Lets put a baby butterfly up in your lil' cocoon
Let's conceive a child and nurture them in your cozy and protective environment

And maybe twenty-thirty our baby, she'll be nerdy make the whole club swoon
By the year 2030, our child will be intelligent and elicit admiration from others in the club

She'll love books and cook and look just like you
She will have a passion for reading, cooking, and share a resemblance to her mother

And when she's done being young, she'll dress like you
Once she grows older, she'll adopt a similar fashion style as her mother

We'll call her Love 22, she'll tote a .22, the laser version
We'll name our daughter Love 22, and she'll carry a small firearm with a laser sight
