Lyrics
[Intro]
Woo
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright
[Chorus]
Don't everybody like the smell of gasoline?
Well, burn, muthafucka, burn American dreams
Don't everybody like the taste of apple pie?
We'll snap for your slice of life, I'm tellin' you why
I hear that mother nature's now on birth control
The coldest pimp be lookin' for somebody to ho
The highway up to Heaven got a crook on the toll
Youth full of fire ain't got nowhere to go, nowhere to go
[Verse 1]
All of my heroes did dope
Every **** round me playin' married or paying child support
I can't cope
Never made no sense to me, one day I hope it will
And that's that, sport, sport
Pray I live to see the day when Seven's happily married
With kids, woe, woe
The world is moving fast and I'm losin' my balance
No time to dig, low, low
To a place where ain't nowhere to go but up
Ya wit' me say shit, sho', sho'
Now let me ask y'all this
[Chorus]
Don't everybody like the smell of gasoline?
Well, burn, muthafucka, burn American dreams
Don't everybody like the taste of apple pie?
We'll snap for your slice of life, I'm tellin' you why
I hear that mother nature's now on birth control
The coldest pimp be lookin' for somebody to ho
The highway up to Heaven got a crook on the toll
Youth full of fire ain't got nowhere to go, nowhere to go
[Verse 2]
It's shitty like Ricky Stratton got a million bucks
While my cousin Ricky Walker got ten years doing Fed time
On a first offense drug bust, fuck the ho-lice
That's if you're racist or you're crooked
Arrest me for this dope, I didn't weight it up or cook it
You gotta charge the world, 'cause over a million people took it
Look at me, you outta your jurisdiction, now you lookin' stupid
Officer, get off me, sir
Don't make me call L.A., he'll have you walkin', sir
A couple of months ago, they gave OutKast the key to the city
But I still gotta pay my taxes and they give us no pity
About the youngsters amongst us
You think they respect the law?
They think they monsters, they love us, reality rappin'
And giving the youth the truth from this booth
And when we on stage we scream
Don't everybody, everybody
[Chorus]
Don't everybody like the smell of gasoline?
Well, burn, muthafucka, burn American dreams
Don't everybody like the taste of apple pie?
We'll snap for your slice of life, I'm tellin' ya why
I hear that mother nature's now on birth control
The coldest pimp be lookin' for somebody to ho
The highway up to Heaven got a crook on the toll
Youth full of fire ain't got nowhere to go, nowhere to go
[Verse 3]
Officer of the most high
You touch me, you touch the apple of his eye
If they kick us out, where will we go?
Not to Africa, 'cause not one of them acknowledge us as they kin folk
Still eatin' pork
Abomination desecration for beatin' flesh
Penalty for violation is death
Woe, woe, to the man that strive with his maker on judgement day
Hip-hip-hooray!
Mr. Reaper Babylon the great
The mother of heartless is fallin', prophecy must be fulfilled
The lake of fire is callin'
[Chorus]
Don't everybody like the smell of gasoline?
Well, burn, muthafucka, burn American dreams
Don't everybody like the taste of apple pie?
We'll snap for your slice of life, I'm tellin' you why
I hear that mother nature's now on birth control
The coldest pimp be lookin' for somebody to ho
The highway up to Heaven got a crook on the toll
Youth full of fire ain't got nowhere to go, nowhere to go
Woo
