Mamacita
OutKast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mahogany Team Queens up on the rise
Be careful, watch your back, blackbirds don't wear disguise
How we coming, coming hard, can't move too slow
Stick up kids do anything, hustlers keep loot to show (what?)
The game is hot you could never be a winner
Just begun a game so considered a beginner
Masada for real, this shorty here is here to stay
Mahogany go platinum after after that we just parlay
I'm from the Bricks we get kicks, off a loud gun shot licks
Fuck stones and sticks, loudmouths get nixed
This life is plus I be the bill-be-board, Scarface want
Italiano, I'm the real McCoy, nigga what?
Can't be a joke I've been through too many games
Niggas laugh, but my expression wasn't hardly the same
Show me respect 'cause it's due, you keep the fear
Cause I'll get over and believe I'll come back at you

Mamacita

Yo, now
You and your nigga shit shaky
And at the time your heart feel down and broke like Achy Breaky
Lump in your throat, feel like a trachea, oh dummy
The pain that's in your chest done made it's way down to your tummy
You wide open, you start smoking wit' ya girl
She nigga bashing saying you don't need 'em in your world
Niggas all dogs? If niggas all dogs, then what you call broads?
Felines in heat, meowing for some yarn balls
Now you and her done got to dranking
Oh now it's really crunk, 'cause y'all silly drunk
And your girl done got to thinking
She talking bout, "Girl you look so beautiful"
You say thank you being nice you try to change the subject
Want some beans and rice? But she's back at you like a pit
Mixed with a chihuahua how much meaner can you get?
Don't let her have her way with you she's gonna have a fit
You're the candy apple of her eye and 'bout to get bit
Here's what you do, you
Grab her by her neck, throw her on the wall
Say, "Bitch don't ever disrespect me, never not at all"
These simple words can put a pause to half of the applause
Them black ball laws of balance at all cost

Real quick, feel this shit, got cheese, tryin to make cheese

Trying to get you so wet, never been to Spain
Never been a lame, horny, ever since I been a tiny

Let me talk to you while I run my fingers through your hair
