Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hello
Well, good evening, ladies and gentlemen
What we like to do right here
Well, first of all, let me let you know who I am
Well, I go by the name of Adré 3000, right
And we hail from a little place called like
Stankonia, Georgia, right
You know, right now, everybody wants to be from space
And like, wants to be from the country and everything like that
You know, like, really like, the South
It's like cool to be from the South right about now
Girls, listen up
[Verse 2]
Torn between Saturday night and early Sunday morn'
I don't know, I'm somewhere stuck in between-tween
I'm out here knowin' hip-hop is dead
The average ****, on my corner, yellin'
What the fuck you mean-mean?
[Verse 3]
See, we ain't even seen the mountaintop
Counterclockwise goes the neighborhood
Hand-me-downs and canned goods
Won't cut the Grey Poupon
We got to make you run, back to the drawing board
Can't afford to lose, y'all make me yawn
[Verse 4]
1 slash 1 slash 91, my teacher sees potential in me
Said, sit down, son
And let me tell you like I heard it when I felt deserted
It wasn't no other way to word it, got my feelings murdered by
The bullet of bad, the singer of sad
Songs to make you long for your mom and your dad
Plaid clash with polka dots, I hope you ain't mad
Back up, little mama, I'm about to react
[Verse 5]
Yup, we ain't just funkin' around, ah-ah
No, you don't want to see me clown, ah-ah
No, tomorrow sounds like right now, ah-ah
[Verse 6]
People have your party
But please don't be late
It's time to bounce, rock, roller skate
Bounce, rock, roller skate
[Verse 7]
Hey, sexy mama
There's no time to waste
It's time to bounce, rock, roller skate
Bounce, rock, roller skate
[Verse 8]
Grab your partner
Roll around and feel the sound, oh, baby
People, have your party
Don't be late
It's time to bounce, rock, roller skate
Bounce, rock, roller skate
[Verse 9]
While Scotty is beamin', lil' Pookie 'nem schemin'
What's the use of living, my ****?
While you snoozin', I'm dreamin', I'm Tylenol PM
You amount to the same thing every day like per diem
Never tryin' to be nothing but a damn, what you're being
[Verse 10]
One nation under the cool, should be the rule
Whether young man or young lady begins
Or starts grade school
Silence before violence
Nine times out of ten times, the quietest is the livest
Fumblin' through your privates
[Verse 11]
Daddy Fat Sax, can they have your back? No
(Oh) You're such a player
(Oh) Your southern drawl got me sprawled out
In our black book, my name was crossed out
Went from starting to second string, now in the doghouse
[Verse 12]
Reminiscing, the party you was missin'
Instead of arguments, you think about the hugs and kisses
If this is something hard for you to take
You better bounce rock, roller skate
[Verse 13]
Yup, we ain't just funkin' around, ah-ah
Nope, you don't want to see me clown, ah-ah
No, tomorrow sounds like right now, ah-ah
Yup, we ain't just funkin' around, ah-ah
