Lyrics

True Dat (Interlude)

Operatin' under the crooked American system too long Outkast, pronounced out cast Adjective meaning homeless, or unaccepted in society But let's look deeper than that Are you an Outkast? If you understand and feel the basic principles and Fundamental truths contained within this music, you probably are If you think it's all about pimpin' hoes and slammin' cadillac do's You probably a cracker, or a nigga that think he a cracker Or maybe just don't understand An Outkast is someone who is not considered to be part of the normal world He is looked at differently He is not accepted because of his clothes, his hair His occupation, his beliefs or his skin color Now look at yourself, are you an Outkast? I know I am As a matter of fact, fuck being anything else It's only so much time left in this crazy world Wake up niggas and realize what's goin on around you Poisonin' of the food and water Tamperin' of ciggarettes Disease engineering control over your life Take back your existence or die like a punk This is Big Rube, sayin' right on to the real, and death to the fakers Peace out
