The Whole World Lyrics - Outkast

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)
