Lyrics

[Verse 1: André 3000] I came into this world high as a bird From secondhand cocaine powder—I know it sounds absurd I never tooted, but it's in my veins While the rest of the country bungies off bridges without no snap-back And, bitches, they say they need that to shake they fannies in the ass clubs They go the other route, turn each other out, burn each other out Where a bona fide nigga like me can't even get no backrub these days Ain't that bleak on they part? But let me hold it down, 'cause they shut you down when you speak from your heart—now that's hard While we rantin' and ravin' 'bout gats Nigga, they made them gats, they got some shit that'll blow out our backs From where they stay at [Chorus: Andrea Martin] Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun Ooh, though we're here, someday we will be gone So I'm hopin' (Hopin'), wishin' (Wishin'), prayin' To keep my faith in you (Keep my faith) In you, in you [Verse 2: André 3000] Yo, yo, yo I'm fascinated by the way your nipples peek at me through your blouse Freaky me, freaky you, can't help but be aroused 'Scuse me, Lord, lustful thinkin', but that was the way we was brought up Sneakin' to watch 'Playboy' at night We all must be caught up in worldly ways Chemistry between boys and girls Is a lot, like when we went to the woods and laid with the squirrels During P.E., we'd be–explorin' each others privates Hunchin' with all our clothes on until we felt excited, then... (Ah) Oh, now it's on from here on out Put yo' hands in the atmosphere, if you know what I'm talkin' about Now if too harsh then walk on out and I'll see you on the next song They call it horny because it's devilish, now, see, we dead wrong [Chorus: Andrea Martin] Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun (Oh) Ooh, though we're here someday we will be gone So I'm hopin', wishin', prayin' (Prayin') To keep my faith in you (Keep my faith in you) In you (Oh, ooh) [Verse 3: Big Boi] People don't know the stress I'm dealin' with, day to day (Day) Speakin' about the feelings I'm possessin' for Rene Mopin' around and wonderin' where she stay, saw her last that she lay "Give it another day," I say, but the Lord, he taketh away Now give it back, Lord, 'cause that's like backboards without the rims Me and my auntie was tight like Southwest Before the pinks moved in Like the niggas who owned the liquor stores Crack cocaine, pimps, and whores Livin' up on this Earth before a nigga like Daddy was born But they be makin' it seem that my music and crime are team But I'm speakin' the truth not dreams (Dream) So what in the fuck they mean? My lyrics stay clean [Chorus: Andrea Martin, & Big Boi] Ooh (Yeah), I fear the battle's just begun Ooh, though we're here, someday we will be gone (So I keep hopin') So I'm hopin', (And) wishin', (And) prayin' (Prayin') To keep my faith in you (My faith in you) In you Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun (Just begun, oh-woah) Ooh, though we're here, someday we will be gone (Oh, yeah) So I'm hopin', wishin', prayin' (Ooh) To keep my faith in you (My faith in you) In you Ooh, I fear the battle's just begun (Yeah, yeah) Ooh, though we're here, someday, we will be gone (I keep hopin') So I'm hopin', wishin', prayin' To keep my faith in you [Outro: Andrea Martin] My faith in you My faith in you My faith in you (Keep my faith) My faith in you My faith in you My faith in you My faith...
