It's the return of the gangsta thanks ta'

Them ^!$$%s that's on that blow
that run up in yo' crib which contains
your lady and an 8 month old

child to raise plus you true blue 'bout this music but
they do not want to hear it because they'd
rather be bouncin' and shootin' and killin' and bouncin'

and %#@! get down

Return of the gangsta thanks ta'

them ^!$$%s that thank [think] you soft
and say y'all be gospel rappin'
but they be steady clappin' when you talk about

(*##$es & switches & hoes & clothes & weed
let's talk about time travelin' rhyme javelin
somethin' mind unravelin' get down


Return of the gangsta thanks ta'
them ^!$$%s who got them kids

who got enough to buy an ounce
but not enough to bounce them kids to the zoo
or to the park so they grow up in the dark never

seein' light so they end up being like yo' sorry $$#
robbin' ^!$$%s in broad $$# daylight get down


Return of the gangsta thanks ta'
them ^!$$%s that get the wrong impression of expression
Then the question is Big Boi what's up with Andre?

Is he in a cult? Is he on drugs? Is he gay?
When y'all gon' break up? When y'all gon' wake up?
^!$$% I'm feelin' better than ever what's wrong with you

you get down!

[Big Boi]

Man a ^!$$% don't want no trouble
a playa just want to kick back with my gators off
and watch my lli'l Gull blow bubbles

But still ready to rhyme
standin' my ground never back down
Willin' to rob steal & kill any thang that threatens mine

But good luck couldn't be bought see
many a fights had to be fought G
for a ^!$$% to ride these Vogues

oh so close to the sidewalk to be gawked at
watch your side my ^!$$% 'cause we got gats
the first ^!$$% to buck gon' be the first ^!$$% we attack

don't want that but it comes though
most of the time you don't know
Stickin' together like flour and water to make that

slow dough we worked for everything we have
and gon' stick up for each other like we
brothers from another mother

Kinda like Mel Gibson and Danny Glover
strictly for the Caddy lovers and never the
nut huggin' punk mother$#&@ers
