[Verse 1: Big Boi]
Time and time again see I be thinking about that future
Back in the days when we was slaves I bet we was some cool a** n***as
But now we vultures, slam my n***a back out
To make his a** black out, or even pull your f**ing heater
To make his whole crew believers, you're harder than a b**h full of dicks
But that don't be sounding like King sh** to me
See now in the ghetto or should I be saying Lakewood
You better be strapped cause them n***as over there just ain't good
Just being a hustler, serving the loyal customers
Rent was due on the first of the month so I'm hustling
I buy you 50 box of Phillies at the Citgo
And n***as be wanting drinks and sh** from the f**ing sto', yo
But that's aight though, cause I be getting paid
And every trip I take, there's a dollar to be made
I'm digging through my pockets for my earnings got you five
Deep, there it is, now it's time to smoke that dime
[Hook : Big Boi]
If you smoke a dime, then I'll smoke a dime
If you smoke a dime, then I'll smoke a dime
[Verse 2: André 3000]
Time is slipping, slowly but surely
n***as I used to hang with wants to act like they don't know me
Come and listen to my story, I gots a lot of sh** up on my mind
I wipe the boo-boo from my brain then I finish up my rhyme
Take a number, I caught you in a slumber
I hit you for a lick, I'm in the slammer for the summer
But now it is the fall, I'm having a ball, making my nickel sacks crawl
To my n***as got to serving when they beep and when they call
I got the Peter, Paul and plus that Mary Jane
I'm rolling reefer out of a Regal, how could I refrain
From being rough, from being tough, from being dangerous
I'm hanging with the P.A., n***a, ain't no changing us
See you can try, if you try, if you don't, you don't
If you wanna battle, it's either that you will or you won't
See that rap sh** is really just like selling smoke
If you got some fly sh**, yo n***as gonna always toke
Dope, is not what I be slanging on this track
n***as don't comprehend that it be deeper than Cadillacs
You know that, right, you bite, you f**ed up
You won't be getting away this time, I'm real as hell, so what's up
I rip sh** wit pimp sh**, I'm slanging it from the South
Talk bad about the A-town, I'll bust you in your f**ing mouth
[Hook : André 3000]
If you smoke a dime, then I'll smoke a dime
If you smoke a dime, then I'll smoke a dime
