OutKast - The Rooster

Hold up!
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Somebody done told you you wrong
Thought it was just gon and gon' end off like that there huh?
Hot, too Hot
Too Hot
Too motherfucking hot
Hot motherfucking thug
Give me a back rub
Oh, I didn't even say bitch
I'm sorry, I apologize
I'm sorry, I take that back

Ok, I start out all alone
'Cause my baby mama left me
Now there's nobody at home
Beginning to feel like Ms. Jackson done got cloned
Well it's some real shit and I'm living it through this song
A moving vehicle took my family
As I slept out on the sofa in the Boom Boom Room
I woke up very upset
I throw the covers back and peek out of the draperies
My daughter, my baby, my baby mama all escaping me
In the wind, she was my friend
Like Princess Di before she died
Therefore we tried and tried again
But in the end you pay attention to the pluses
But the minuses behind make it seem like you can't win

Throw your neck out, throw your back out
Throw your neck out, throw your back out (my neck and my back)
Throw your neck out, throw your back out (hmm, my neck and my back)
Throw your neck out, throw your back out (throw your back out)

Round two, a single parent, what is Big to do?
Throw a party? Not hardly! I'm trying to stay up outta that womb
Or that p-u-s-s, us I say, "USS"
Luther Vandross couldn't make a home out of this house that we smooshed
Smashed, pushed to the limit, smash and turned it timid
Hell everyone was suffering, the house was feeling wicked hell
The cat got sold, the dog got old, the food got cold
Both of our tempers were on swole
For the most part you fuss, fight, fart
You build it up to break it down and now take it from the start
Repeatedly leading a path that only ends in a clash
Of two stubborn minds, grown folks blind to the sign

Throw your neck out, throw your back out
Throw your neck out, throw your back out (my neck and my back)
Throw your neck out, throw your back out (hmm, my neck and my back)
Throw your neck out, throw your back out (throw your back out)

K-o, knocked out by technicality
The love has kissed the canvas
Now the whole family is mad at me
My daughter don't want me at her PTA meetings
And then my son he can't talk, when I change him he's peeing
I think he's pissed
I can't dismiss the matter of the fact because he saw you and me argue
Now the energy is coming back
Set an example, a positive pattern, keep life on track
But I'm married to the music and committed to the wax

Tapes and CD's, baby, please
You make me want to scream
You're on my team starting first string
So why are we arguing?
Tapes and CD's, baby, please
You make me want to scream
You're on my team starting first string
So why are we arguing?

Throw your neck fucking out, throw your back out
Throw your neck out, throw your back out (my neck and my back)
Throw your neck out, throw your back out (hmm, my neck and my back)
Throw your neck out, throw your back out (throw your back out)

Tapes and CD's, baby, please
You make me want to scream
You're on my team starting first string
So why are we arguing?
Tapes and CD's, baby, please
You make me want to scream
You're on my team starting first string
So why are we arguing?

Throw your neck fucking out, throw your back out
Throw your neck out, throw your back out (my neck and my back)
Throw your neck out, throw your back out (hmm, my neck and my back)
Throw your neck out, throw your back out (throw your back out)
