Yeah, mmm mmm mmm, yeah that sho' feel good.
|
Hello! I go by the name of simply Cee-Lo Green - how do you do?
|
Welcome. I thought I'd seize this opportunity to tell you a little
|
bit more about myself if you don't mind. This is my vision.
|
YouknowhatI'msaying? Check me out now. Uhh
|
|
I have millenniums of material and rivers of rhythm
|
An entire ocean of emotion that's enlightening to swim in
|
Also a forest of feeling, beaten paths of peace
|
Trapped inside my silhouette I have to speak to release
|
Demanding more from the pen than I whore from the pen
|
The line between playing to win and sin is thin
|
But I walk it with grace and I talk it with taste
|
I am that raw, simply put, and I rest my case; it's elementary
|
Yet far more than resources to pay the rent for me
|
Everything that I've done is divine
|
Ask God, he'll tell ya, yeah, he mine
|
So, you see, you don't need another thug out of me
|
That is the last thing I plan to be on this LP
|
But I'ma go slip into something mo' comfortable and continue the lesson
|
No inconvenience at all, I insist on leaving an impression
|
|
So relax, and ride out. Relax, okay, and ride out
|
Just relax, and ride out. Players, relax, and ride out
|
|
I also solicit visual verbalism worth a visit
|
Intensely exquisite artism inquire all. Who is it?
|
It's a deliciously daring delicacy I eat to exist
|
Oh, he's waving those words, I want seconds and thirds
|
Oh, hush. That's awful kind of you, you're making me blush
|
I could use some competition, but they not making me much
|
Man, this beat is like my master, it's making me bust
|
Hip-hop is suffering, meaning I'm a necessity, if nothing
|
But you like every other rapper - cornrows and a bandana
|
But I get a hundred and fifty thousand dollar check
|
every three months off Santana
|
Don't you fuck up, though, my family is the whole side of Atlanta
|
Now, how can I say? Okay, let me just put it this way
|
If anyone ever contests my conquest my gun best
|
Yo son just, takes one time to be one less
|
Til you run and tell the rest that I'm the best
|
I sang sweet, but brang heat to bang meat
|
We all on the same street
|
And it's not that often I verbalize the essential element of surprise
|
I am not one of these thug rapper guys
|
But this one will help you realize, and use both eyes to recognize
|
the type of action that this amount of money buys
|
Now listen son, let me drop some shit on you man
|
I can just "do-do-do-do-do-do-do" and put a hit on you man
|
Aith hot heat that will make your heart beat quit on you man
|
And Mr. Dawson'll find a pretty box to fit all you man
|
|
So relax, and ride out. Just relax, young man, and ride out
|
Hey, you better relax, and ride out. Okay? Just relax, and ride out
|
|
I could take that shit all day
|
But if I only had sixteen more bars to live
|
I'd get high, and hopefully O.D. on an alternative
|
I'd give a dim lit dream, a colour scheme
|
And I'd swim for the sun (so far) no matter how impossible that may seem
|
I'd bury my feet in the foundation of a forest Becoming one with
|
everything there
|
I would be long. I would be right and wrong. But I'd be rare
|
And then I would pretend I didn't care. Use my fear
|
And pray that my forever would be fare.
|
And I love you all, unconditional, I get misty already missing y'all
|
And then I forgive those who rhyme to kill the time
|
While mine cultivate the consciousness and
|
Chill the spine, heal the mind, yet still sublime
|
|
Ride out. Relax, and ride out. Relax, and ride out. Relax, and ride out
|
This is one for the road. Yeah. One time for your motherfucking mind
|
I told how you motherfucking play. D.F. y'all. Believe this. Yeah
|
Shouts out to Outkast, Goodie Mob. Yeah, Backbone, where ya at brother?
|
(Hey) Hahaha. Alright. (Easy now) Hahaha. Yeah. Can't nobody stop me now
|
No, sir. Yeah. I'm gone, y'all. Oh, man. It's lovely. Ahahah. Yeah
|
Somebody better stop me. Hahaha. Cause I'm good. Heheheheh. Yeah. Hahahahah
|
Alright now. Heheheh. Yeah. Alright, we gonna relax, cause it feels so good
|
Everybody doing their godamn thing. Yeah
|
