OutKast featuring Andre 3000 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come in God
God come in God
Damn you're a girl
Well, I guess the reason why I'm talking to you tonight is
'Cause I've been doing a lot of thinking and
I consider myself a pretty cool guy
And I've never cheated on any of my girlfriends
That was just some head, and head don't count right?
Ah, thanks God I knew you'd understand
Well, I just feel like,
Well, to be honest with you
God, I just need a sweet bitch
You know, somebody not too fast
But not too slow
'Cause I don't have it all my damn self
And life ain't easy
You know you just want somebody by your side to help smooth that thang out
You know what I'm talking bout?
And, at this point
I mean I am not being picky
She doesn't even have to have a big ol' ass, you know
Just something well proportioned to her body
You know a nice little tail, you know
What?
You say, you say you found somebody?
Is she cute?
So when do I get to meet her?
Ah, God your the greatest
Well, I guess I'll talk to you later
Amen
Oh I'm sorry, I'm sorry
A lady
The lyrics to OutKast featuring Andre 3000's song "God" are a humorous take on the concept of prayer and communication with a higher power. The song begins with the singer welcoming God to come in, and then expressing surprise when God is revealed to be a female. The singer then admits to having cheated on one of his girlfriends, but downplays the significance by calling it "just some head" and asking if it even counts as cheating.
The singer then goes on to talk about his desire for a woman who can "smooth that thang out" and help make life easier. He emphasizes that he's not being too picky, and even suggests that a big butt isn't a requirement. The song ends with the singer expressing gratitude for God's help in finding someone and announcing his intention to talk to her later.
Overall, the lyrics of "God" use humor and irreverence to comment on the human desire for connection and companionship. The singer's prayer is characterized by a sense of casual familiarity with God, as if they are old friends chatting casually rather than a supplicant making a request of a higher power.
