The Whole World
OutKast/Killer Mike Lyrics

Okay, here we go
Let's get started

Yeah, I'm afraid, like I'm scared as a dog
I'm nervous, like a pet dog frightened by thunder

But I've got a new song, and I want y'all to sing along
I have a new track and I want all of you to join in singing it

See this is the way that we walk on a sunny day
This is how we should move on bright days

When it's rainin' inside and you're all alone
When it's pouring inside and you are alone

All alone, yeah!
By yourself, yes!

'Cause the whole world loves it when you don't get down
The whole world enjoys when you don't feel depressed

(Bah bah-da, bah bah bah-da da!)
Instrumental

And the whole world loves it when you make that sound
Everyone loves it when you produce that particular noise

And the whole world loves it when you're in the news
The world loves it when you're in the media limelight

And the whole world loves it when you sing the blues
People enjoy it when you sing sad songs

Take a little trip, hater, pack up your mind
Dissenter, change your perspective

Look forward, not behind, then you'll see what you find
See forward, don't look back, and you'll understand what's ahead

I caught a sucker dying 'cause he thought could rhyme
Someone tried to rap and failed

Now if his momma is a quarter, daughter must be a dime
If someone's mother is not attractive, then their daughter must be beautiful

I gotta meet her, don't take no shorts, I don't use abbrevi-
I have to meet her, I'm not willing to relinquish anything, and I don't use abbreviations

-ation, I don't even play the radio neither
I don't even listen to the radio

Only if I need to know the sports or the weather
Only if there is something I have to know about a sport or the weather

I'm a cool type of brother, but yep, your head I'll sever from the neck
I'm usually calm, but if you mess with me, I'm violent

See ain't nothing changed, hit the stage
I'm still the same, I perform on stage

Set a date, sucker, in battle we can engage
Pick a day for us to fight, fool

I'll slice you, wife you, marry you, divorce you
I'll cut you, marry you, and then separate from you

Throw the Porsche at you, is what I'm forced to do
I'll throw a car at you if I have to

With my back against the wall, crack his back, y'all
When I have no other choice, I'll attack

Naw, it ain't went nowhere like havin' hair with stylin' gel in it
No, it hasn't gone away like having hair with styling gel in it

Throw a curl in it
Add a curl

Dread that nappy shit up, throw a shell in it
Twist the tangled hair and add beads

Whatever floats your boat, or finds your lost remote
Do what pleases you or find what you lost

And this for them niggas workin' at the airport who got laid off
This is for the airport employees who lost their positions

I take my shades off
I take off my sunglasses

If you look straight in my eyes, you still might see a disguise
Even if you look right into my eyes, you might still see a facade

Because the whole-whole world-world
Because the entire planet

Player, I grind, my focus is crime
Man, I work hard, I'm focused on illegal activities

Raw with the rhyme, I'm slick with the slime
I'm exceptional at rapping, I'm good at doing underhanded things

My words are diamonds dug out a mine
My lyrics are valuable

Spit 'em, polish, look how they shine
Express them, enhance them, see how they stand out

Glitter, glisten, gloss, floss
Sparkle, gleam, sheen, display wealth

I catch a beat running like Randy Moss
I catch up with the beat like Randy Moss chases a football

Ride that bitch off like a brand new horse
I'll finish the track like it's a new horse ride

I'm rollin' my stone, gather no moss
I'm working tirelessly

Mommy, I'm coming, I hope you get off
Mum, I'm on my way to help you

Or rock your own boat like Aaliyah, then talk
Do things on your own, like Aaliyah did, and then give your opinion

Back, back, forth, forth
Going back and forth

Get that sailor on course, course
Adjust course, sailor

Make that track a corpse, corpse
Destroy the track

Rap, roll, utterly rocked
Rap and roll, completely dominated

With my mouth to the mic and my hand on my cock
With my mouth on the microphone and my hand on my genitalia

Cadillac OutKast, just won't stop
Cadillac OutKast will keep going

Turn on the TV and everything is lookin' dismal
Turning on the TV and everything looks gloomy

Went in the bathroom medicine cabinet, Pepto-Bismol
Found Pepto-Bismol in the restroom cabinet

Need it for my stomach 'cause my tummy kinda aches
Need it for my stomach because it hurts a bit

Like a junkie on withdrawal, fresh up off the plate
Like a drug addict in recovery, just getting clean

Wait, back to the enemy of the state
Wait, let's talk about the government

Is the Republicans or Democratic candidate?
Is it the Republican or Democratic nominee?

Debate, now even the black box hold the fate
Discuss, now even the black box controls what happens

Clueless like Shaggy and Scooby befo' commercial break
Ignorant, like Shaggy and Scooby before the commercial break

Hate, extreme prejudice, let's dismiss this
Eliminate hatred and discrimination

If you want to, you can dub it to your hit list
If you want to, you can put it on your list of favorite tracks

I know you goin' to, we in this to replenish yo' musical wish list
I know you will, we're here to refresh your music collection

When it come to this music, we stay relentless
We are unyielding when it comes to this music

Pursuing all that's pursuable
Going after everything that's attainable

Doing, God-willing, all things that are doable
Doing, if God permits, everything that's possible

The only liable limitation is yourself, Dre
Your only limitation is yourself, Dre

Set it on the right and I'll set it on the left, 'cause
If you position it on the right, I'll position it on the left, because
