My Sweet Baby
B.o.B Lyrics

Lady (Um humm)
Acknowledging the presence of a woman with an agreeing tone

Oh baby (Um humm)
Expressing fondness for the woman with an agreeing tone

My sweet baby (Um humm)
Referring to the woman as a lovely endearment with an agreeing tone

You're the one (Fury)
Affirming that the woman is the only one for him with strong emotion

Lady (Oh yeah)
Calling out to the woman with excitement

Oh, baby (oh yeah)
Expressing joy and affection for the woman

My sweet baby (oh yeah)
Referring to the woman as a lovely endearment with delight

You're the one
Affirming that the woman is the only one for him

Uh huh... I know
Confirming and agreeing with something that was said or done

Well it's Mr. Obituary, put beats in a cemetery
Introducing himself with a metaphorical phrase that means he destroys other rappers with his rhymes

I rip a beat into pieces, like sheets in a dictionary
Comparing his ability to destroy a beat to tearing pages out of a book

The teachers tried to teach me but I was sleepin' in every class
Admitting he did not apply himself to his studies and slept through classes

I never passed, it didn't seem necessary
Not having passed any classes because he did not value getting passing grades

I'm super psychedelic
Describing himself as experimental or imaginative

I'm smokin' weed with the fairies
Humorously saying that he smokes marijuana

And if drugs are bad, throw away every CD you carry
Defending artists who use drugs creatively and suggesting that if drugs were truly bad, we would not support their music

Cause drugs have inspired every musical visionary
Asserting that many of the greatest musical artists were inspired by drugs

And this ain't even the album
Explaining that the song is not even part of a complete album

So the thought alone should be scary
Suggesting that his upcoming album will be intimidating in some way

I do this for the geeks who feel they need to compare me
Explaining that he creates music for those who feel the need to compare him to others

I swear, I'll push this button, give me a reason or dare me
Warning that he can be provoked and will retaliate if someone challenges him

And everything gets blown and everybody gets buried
Suggesting violence and destruction towards anyone who opposes him

And there you have it, I shot the track like Berry
Comparing himself to a marksman who has just completed a successful shot

They tryin' figure out, what's my business incentive
Saying that people are curious about his motivation for creating music

I'm simply tryin' speak to who or whatever will listen
Indicating that he creates music for anyone who cares to listen

And reach out to the kids who the doctor prescribed with Ritalin
Acknowledging children who are prescribed medication for ADHD and reaching out to them

So this for all of my aliens and all the Indigo Children
Addressing those who feel different and out of place in society

And anyone who said I would never see this position
Referring to those who did not believe in his success

Allow me to drop my pants and turn around for you to kiss it
Responding to doubters with a vulgar gesture and showing that he does not care what they think

But that was the motivation I needed for me to get it
Explaining that criticism was what motivated him to achieve success

And this has been a Bobby Ray Power Point presentation
Closing the song with a humorous reference to his real name and bringing the song to a close

I mean... presentation...
Jokingly correcting himself for using the wrong word in the previous line

Aww, whatever you don't care
Ending with a dismissive tone towards any potential criticism of his mistake
