One of the best Andre 3000 tracks with cool beats and vocals; also the last track on The Love Below.

Song is too long for complete lyrics, so here's my favourite verses:

The brain is that fried egg I might need

New direction was apparent

I was a child looking at the floor staring

So changing my style was like release for the primitive beast. Yes I was on the rise, yeast was the street

To make bread - Never a primary concern

So on a trip to New York on some beeswax

I get invited to a club where emcees at

And on stage is a singer with some thing on her head

Similar to the turban that I covered up my dredz with

Which I was rocking at the time

When I was going thru them phases trying to find

Anything that seemed real in the world

Still searching, but I started liking this girl

Now you know her as Erykah on and on Badu

Call Tyrone on the phone why you

Do that girl like that boy you ought to be ashamed

The song wasn't about me and that ain't my name

We're young, in love, in short we had fun

No regrets no abortion, had a son

By the name of Seven, and he's five

By the time I do this mix, he'll probably be six

You do the arithmetic, Me do the language arts

Y'all stand against the wall blindfolded me throw the darts

To poke you in the heart, and take you from the start

..And that's as far as I got

[Dialogue]

And that's as far as I got, and where I wanted to go knowing the whole time that's all you could think about even though if you cut it off and start that up you need a jump like you'll need in your rump to grow and you change all the time so that rabbit that you thought about that whole summer, the next summer you didn't want that rabbit no more. You wanted something bigger and better.

So the summer passed and the rabbit is old?

Right, right, so now you want a Cadillac...

The radio can handle 'Hey Yaaah'..but regular radio listeners could NEVER grasp the REAL depth of 3000's skills. This joint alone would have 'em breakin' their rewind buttons in their struggle to get a grip on what he is spittin' here...

@James Whyte yea, I got that after I posted. It was one of those "should've realized it earlier" type of things.

To this brotha, this is the greatest song that hiphop has to offer! There are many good songs now, won't ever forget that, but this is better then all of them (well, to me it is). His story-telling ability is par none! Even Eminem, who is master lyrical story-teller, is surpassed here (to me, anyway). And, 3000 keeps you so engrossed into the story that even when there's a change in the it, he doesn't lose you. That is why I say this is hiphop's greatest song:)
