Andre 3000, Outkast "Extraterrestrial" off their 2nd album, Atliens (1996)
"Right now I'm smiling
Taking advantage of this moment
'Cause there might not be another soon
Holding on to memories like roller-coaster handle bars
Tightly cause I'm slightly off my rocker--But to you
I may appear to be your average Joe
But little do you know
That even Joe got problems that he's got to joust with
Floating in this game of life
Despite how out of place you may feel
In this race, oh you just can't quit
Ain't that a bitch--that be in heat
I'm on the beat like cops
Only cultivate the stable dirt when I skeet my drops
No concentrating, knocking other niggas out the box
Why?--Cause in a sense
See we all be kind of fly
Just can't be scared to spread your wings
Head to better things
Maybe the mockingbird and nightingale
They want to sing--keeping this thing alive
To the table's what we bring
We like hailstorms and blizzards in the middle of the spring
Extraterrestrial
Out of this world."

As before. Woooooah. Magic on paper? Make it magic in your ear. You really got a take a listen to it. And if you are one of those folk that don't understand slang, go over to www.urbandictionary.com and do some research. I'm not gonna do it for you.
