Outkast - Rooster lyrics

Hold up Oooh, oooh, somebody done told you you wrong [Verse 1] OK, I started out all alone Cause my baby mama left me Now there's nobody at home Beginnin to feel like Ms. Jackson done got cloned Well it's some real sh** and I'm livin it through this song A movin 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 escapin 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 [Hook] Throw your neck out, throw your back out [4x] [Verse 2] Round two, a single parent, what is Big to do? Throw a parrty? Not hardly, I'm tryin to stay up outta that womb Or that p-u-s-s uss! I said 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 sufferin, the house was feelin wicked The cat got sold, the dog got old, the food got cold Both of our tempers were on swolle For the most part you fuss, fight, fart You build it up to break it down and now take it from the start Repeatedly leadin a path that only ends in a clash Of two stubborn minds, grown folks blind to the sign [Hook] Throw your neck out, throw your back out [4x] [Verse 3] 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 meetins And then my son he can't talk, when I change him he's peein 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 comin back Set an example, a positive pattern, keep life on track But I'm married to the music and committed to the wax Tapes, CDs Baby please, you make me wanna scream You're on my team startin first string so why are we arguin? Tapes, CDs Baby please, you make me wanna scream You're on my team startin first string so why are we arguin? Throw your f**in neck out [Hook] Throw your neck out, throw your back out [4x] Tapes, CDs Baby please, you make me wanna scream You're on my team startin first string so why are we arguin? Tapes, CDs Baby please, you make me wanna scream You're on my team startin first strin so why are we arguin? [Hook] Throw your neck out, throw your back out [4x] (to fade)
