Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So, I typed a text to a girl I used to see
Sayin that I chose this cutie pie with whom I wanna be
And I apologize if this message gets you down
Then I CC'd every girl that I'd see see round town and
I hate to see y'all frown but I'd rather see her smiling
Wetness all around me, true, but I'm no island
Give up all this pussy cat that's in my lap no lookin back
Spaceships don't come equipped with rearview mirrors
They dip as quick as they can
The atmosphere is now ripped
I'm so like a Pip, I'm glad its night
So the light from the sun would not burn me on my bum
When I shoot the moon high, jump the broom
Like a premie out the womb
My partner yellin "Too soon! don't do it! Reconsider!
Read some litera - ture on the subject
You sure? F*** it
You know we got your back like chiroprac - tic
If that b**** do you dirty
We'll wipe her a** out and send detergent
Now hurry hurry, go on to the altar
I know you ain't a pimp but pimp remember what I taught ya
Keep your heart 3 stacks, keep your heart
Aye, keep your heart 3 stacks, keep your heart
Man, these girls is smart, 3 stacks, these girls is smart
Play your part
Play your part"
(Pimp C)
Sweet jones
My b**** a choosey lover, never f*** without a rubber
Never in the sheets, like it on top of the cover
Money on the dresser, drive a compressor
Top notch hoes get the most, not the lesser
Trash like to fuck for 40 dollars in the club
F***** up the game, b**** you gets no love
She be cross country givin all that she got
A thousand a pop, I'm pullin Bentleys off the lot
I smashed up the grey one, bought me a red
Every time we hit the parking lot we turn heads
Some hoes wanna choose but them b****es too scary
Your b**** chose me, you ain't a pimp you a fairy
Ooooooohhh Ooooooohhh
I choose you girl
(Bun B)
Baby you been rollin solo, time to get down with the team
Because its greener on that other side if you know what I mean
I'll show you shit you've never seen
The 7 wonders of the world
And I can make you the 8th if you wanna be my girl
When I say my girl I don't mean my woman, that ain't my style
Need a real street stalker to walk a green mile
We pilin up the paper on the dining room table
Cause you able to realize I'm the truth and not a fable
We rockin precious sable, keep that chilla on the rack
What I look like with some thousand dollar shit up on my back
I'm a million dollar mack, need a billion dollar b****
Put my pimpin in your life, watch your daddy get rich
Easy as A be see, simple as 1 2 3
Get down with UGK, Pimp see & be you N be
Cause what's a hoe with no pimp, and what's a pimp with no hoe
Don't be a lame, you know the game and how it goes
We tryin to get chose
OOOooooohhh Ooooooohhh
I choose you girl
(Big Boi)
Eeny mini decisions with precision I pick
Or make my selection on who I choose to be with
Girl don't touch my protection, I know you want it to slip
But slippin is something I don't do, tippin for life? (Mmm mmm!)
That's like makin it rain
Every month on schedule (mmmHhmm!) Let me tell you
Get your parasol umbrella cause its gonna get wetter
Better prepare you for the see-Support
She supposed to spend it on that baby but we see she don't
(Chopped & Screwed)
Ask ask Paul McCartney the lawyers couldn't stop the
Slaughter slaughter of them pockets, had to tie her to a rocket
Send her into outer space, I know he wish he could
Cause he payin 20K a day, that b****is eating good
Like an infant on a double D titty just getting plump
Cause he miscalculated the next to the last pump
(Chopped & Screwed)
Dump dump in the gut, raw from the giddy up
Better chose the right one or pick pick the kiddies up
Ooooohhhhh Ooooooohhh
I chose you girl
IIIIiiii
I chose you baby
The lyrics to Outkast feat. Ugk's song International Player's Anthem is a complex song that delves into the themes of love, relationships, and the outside pressures that come with it. The song starts with Andre 3000 texting a girl, saying he has chosen to be with a new girl and CCing every girl in his contact list. He admits that he hates seeing others frown but he'd rather see his new girl smiling. The wetness around him suggests that he is surrounded by women, but now he has chosen to be with one.
Pimp C continues from Andre 3000, singing about his "choosey" lover, who never sleeps with him without a condom. He talks about the expense of the lifestyle he leads, with money on the dresser and top-notch girls getting the most money. He claims that a thousand dollars a night is nothing for him, and his new girl has chosen him over her previous man, whom he calls a fairy.
Bun B raps about how his girl has been single for a long time and needs to join a team or get down with the crew. He talks about his wealth and how he can show her wonders she has never seen before, making her the eighth wonder of the world. He asserts that he needs a real street stalker to walk with him, suggesting that he needs someone who can handle the lifestyle he offers.
The song then ends on a note of Big Boi, who is cautious about relationships and makes his decisions with precision. He is careful about his protection and is hesitant to slip up. He believes that choosing the right partner will ensure a good life for the long-term, even though it's challenging.
Overall, the song encapsulates the fears and hopes of people who are involved in a relationship. They could be torn between multiple people, or they may not entirely trust their partners' intentions. The song tells of how players cannot choose their emotions, even though they may want a perfect relationship.

So, I typed a text to a girl I used to see
I sent a message to a girl I used to date
Sayin that I chose this cutie pie with whom I wanna be
I told her that I have chosen another girl to be with
And I apologize if this message gets you down
I'm sorry if my message upsets you
Then I CC'd every girl that I'd see see round town
I copied every girl that I know in the message
and I hate to see y'all frown but I'd rather see her smiling
I don't like to see you sad, but I prefer to see her happy
Wetness all around me, true, but I'm no island
There are many girls interested in me, but I don't want to be alone
Peninsula maybe, makes no sense I know, crazy
It sounds strange and illogical, but it's true
Give up all this pussy cat that's in my lap no lookin back
I'm leaving behind all the girls chasing after me without regret
Spaceships don't come equipped with rearview mirrors
When you're moving forward, you don't need to look back
They dip as quick as they can
They leave as soon as possible
The atmosphere is now ripped
The situation has become chaotic and unstable
I'm so like a Pip, I'm glad its night
I feel like a lonely soul, and I prefer the darkness
So the light from the sun would not burn me on my bum
To avoid getting hurt by the consequences of my actions
When I shoot the moon high, jump the broom
When I aim for something higher and take a big step
Like a premie out the womb
Like a premature baby being born
My partner yellin 'Too soon! don't do it! Reconsider!
My friend warns me that it's too early to make this decision
Read some litera - ture on the subject
Educate myself on the topic
You sure? F*** it
Are you certain? Well, let's just go for it
You know we got your back like chiroprac - tic
You can count on our support like a chiropractor
If that b**** do you dirty
If that girl treats you badly
We'll wipe her a** out and send detergent
We'll get rid of her and make sure she learns her lesson
Now hurry hurry, go on to the altar
Now hurry up and get married
I know you ain't a pimp, but pimp remember what I taught ya
I know you're not experienced in this, but remember what I told you
Keep your heart 3 stacks, keep your heart
Protect your feelings, don't get too attached
Man, these girls is smart, 3 stacks, these girls is smart
These girls are intelligent and know what they want
Play your part
Do your role in this relationship
Sweet jones
A term of endearment for a loved one
My b**** a choosey lover, never f*** without a rubber
My partner is selective and always uses protection
Never in the sheets, like it on top of the cover
We prefer to have sex on the bed, but on top of the sheets
Money on the dresser, drive a compressor
I keep money on the table and drive a fancy car
Top notch hoes get the most, not the lesser
High-quality women receive the best treatment, not the mediocre ones
Trash like to fuck for 40 dollars in the club
Low-quality women are willing to have sex for little money at the club
F***** up the game, b**** you gets no love
They're messing up the dating scene and don't deserve love
She be cross country givin all that she got
She travels around, giving her all in relationships
A thousand a pop, I'm pullin Bentleys off the lot
Charging a thousand dollars per encounter and buying expensive cars
I smashed up the grey one, bought me a red
I damaged my previous car, but replaced it with a new one
Every time we hit the parking lot we turn heads
Whenever we arrive in the parking lot, we get attention
Some hoes wanna choose but them b****es too scary
Some women want to be with me, but they are too afraid
Your b**** chose me, you ain't a pimp you a fairy
Your partner chose me over you because you're not a real pimp
Baby you been rollin solo, time to get down with the team
You've been alone for too long, join us
Because its greener on that other side if you know what I mean
The other side, being in a relationship, is more fulfilling
I'll show you shit you've never seen
I'll introduce you to new experiences
The 7 wonders of the world
Amazing things that will awe you
And I can make you the 8th if you wanna be my girl
I can make you feel even more special if you become my partner
When I say my girl I don't mean my woman, that ain't my style
When I refer to 'my girl,' I don't mean a committed partner
Need a real street stalker to walk a green mile
I need someone experienced in the streets to walk with me
We pilin up the paper on the dining room table
We're accumulating wealth on the table
Cause you able to realize I'm the truth and not a fable
Because you understand that I'm genuine, not a made-up story
We rockin precious sable, keep that chilla on the rack
We're wearing expensive fur and keeping it stored properly
What I look like with some thousand dollar shit up on my back
Why would I wear expensive stuff on my back?
I'm a million dollar mack, need a billion dollar b****
I'm a high-earning player and need a very rich woman
Put my pimpin in your life, watch your daddy get rich
Let me bring my expertise and make you wealthy
Easy as A be see, simple as 1 2 3
It's as easy as ABC, simple as counting from 1 to 3
Get down with UGK, Pimp see & be you N be
Join us, UGK, and become a pimp just like me
Cause what's a hoe with no pimp, and what's a pimp with no hoe
A prostitute is nothing without a pimp, and a pimp needs a prostitute
Don't be a lame, you know the game and how it goes
Don't be inexperienced, you know how the game works
We tryin to get chose
We're trying to find someone to be with
Eeny mini decisions with precision I pick
I carefully choose my options and make decisions
Or make my selection on who I choose to be with
Or choose who I want to be in a relationship with
Girl don't touch my protection, I know you want it to slip
Don't tamper with the condom, I know you want it to fail
But slippin is something I don't do, tippin for life?
But I don't make mistakes, taking risks forever?
That's like makin it rain, every month on schedule
That's like spending a large amount of money regularly
Get your parasol umbrella cause its gonna get wetter
Prepare for a more intense and pleasurable experience
Better prepare you for the see-Support
I'm warning you to be ready for the intense physical activity
She supposed to spend it on that baby but we see she don't
She should use the money for her child, but she doesn't
(Chopped & Screwed) Ask ask Paul McCartney the lawyers couldn't stop the
(Altered voice) Ask Paul McCartney, even the lawyers couldn't prevent
Slaughter slaughter of them pockets, had to tie her to a rocket
The destruction of his finances, had to separate her drastically
Send her into outer space, I know he wish he could
Send her away where she can't harm him, he wishes he could
Cause he payin 20K a day, that b****is eating good
Because he has to pay her a significant amount every day
Like an infant on a double D titty just getting plump
Like a baby sucking on large breasts and growing
Cause he miscalculated the next to the last pump
Because he made a mistake with his previous partner
(Chopped & Screwed) Dump dump in the gut, raw from the giddy up
(Altered voice) Ejaculate inside her without protection from the beginning
Better chose the right one or pick pick the kiddies up
Choose the correct partner or end up taking care of the kids alone
I chose you girl
I selected you as my partner

I always remember it because Katt Williams used this as an opening to one of his standups and he told the DJ to repeat it and said THAT'S MY SH*T!!! lol
@90sbaby1
I also rememberr this because in Flavor of Love Season 2 all these guys in the video (Ying Yang Twins, Three 6 Mafia, Pimp C, Bun B, Don Juan, G-Unit, etc) went to Flava Flav's mansion to evaluate the remaining girls lol and Krayzee got mad because Three 6 Mafia exposed her for not knowing Flava Flav's music 🤣
@IsmailTube999
This single means so much. It was one of the last times outkast collaborated on a track as a duo and it was the last single UGK made before Pimp C died later that year. This video marks the end of an era, but the way they celebrate in the song with the wedding theme and it being the "end of a pimping dynasty" was done so perfectly. In my opinion this is a legendary song and video that will be a staple of what southern hip hop was like years from now. #RIPIMPC
@draybush1112
Exactly man! I feel the same way
@truthbetold711
Well said.
@theodorehuxtable6001
Ahmed Ismail Effing brilliantly put. I think this song might also mark the end of rap groups as we know them. (I' put money on a Migos breakup in the next year.) The only thing wrong with your statement is that I wish it wasn't so true.
