Lyrics: Outkast. The Whole World.

Okay, here we go

Yeah, I'm afraid, like I'm scared as a dog
But I've got a new song
And I want y'all to sing along, sing along

See this is the way that we walk on a sunny, day
When it's rainin' inside
And you're, all alone, all alone, yeah

'Cause the whole world loves it when you don't get down
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)
And the whole world loves it when you make that sound
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)

And the whole world loves it when you're in the news
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)
And the whole world loves it when you sang the blues
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)

Take a little trip, hater, pack up yo' mind
Look forward, not behind then you'll see what you find
I caught a sucker dyin' 'cause he thought, he could rhyme
Now, if his momma is a quarter, daughter must be a dime

I gotta meet her, don't take no shorts, I don't use
Abbreviation, I don't even play the radio neither
Only if I need to know the sports or the weather
I'm a cool type of brother but yep, your head I'll sever from the neck

See, ain't nuttin' changed, hit the stage
Set a date, sucker, in battle we can engage
I'll slice you, wife you, marry you, divorce you
Throw the Porsche at you is what I'm forced to do

With my back against the wall, crack his back, y'all
Naw, it ain't went nowhere like havin'
Hair with stylin' gel in it, throw a curl in it
Dread that nappy shit up, throw a shell in it

Whatever floats your boat or finds your lost remote
And this for dem niggaz workin' at the airport
Who got laid off, I take my shades off
If you look straight in my eyes, you still might see a disguise
Because the whole, whole, world, world

'Cause the whole world loves it when you don't get down
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)
And the whole world loves it when you make that sound
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)

And the whole world loves it when you're in the news
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)
And the whole world loves it when you sang the blues
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)

Player, I grind, my focus is crime
Raw with the rhyme, I'm slick with the slime
My words are diamonds dug out a mine
Spit 'em, polish, look, how they shine

Glitter, glisten, gloss, floss
I catch a beat runnin' like Randy Moss
Ride dat bitch off like a brand new horse
I'm rollin' my stones, gatherin' no moss

Mami, I'm comin', I hope you get off
Or rock your own boat like Aaliyah then talk
Back, back, forth, forth
Get that sailor on course, course

Make that track a corpse, corpse
Rap, roll, utterly rocked
With my mouth to the mic and my hand on my cock
Cadillac, Outkast just won't stop

'Cause the whole world loves it when you don't get down
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)
And the whole world loves it when you make that sound
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)

And the whole world loves it when you're in the news
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)
And the whole world loves it when you sang the blues
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)

Turn on the TV and everything is lookin' dismal
Went in the bathroom, medicine cabinet Pepto-Bismal
Need it for my stomach 'cause my tummy kinda aches
Like a junkie on withdrawal, fresh up off the plate

Wait, back to the enemy of the state
Is the Republicans or Democratic candidate
Debate, now, even the black box hold the fate
Clueless like Shaggy and Scooby befo' commercial break

Hate, extreme prejudice, let's dismiss this
If you want to, you can dub it to your hit list
I know you gon' to, we in this to replenish yo' musical wish list
When it come to this music we stay relentless

Pursuing all that's persuable
Doing God's willing, all things that are doable
The only liable limitation is yourself
Dre set it on the right and I'll set it on the left 'cause

'Cause the whole world loves it when you don't get down
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)
And the whole world loves it when you make that sound
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)

And the whole world loves it when you're in the news
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)
And the whole world loves it when you sang the blues
(Bah bah-da, bah bah, bah-da da)
