Reset

[Intro: Big Boi]

Naw, naw, naw, that's part of the— that's—

Yeah! I got you good that time, shawty

[Chorus: Debra Killings]

Start over

Again

Everything happens for a reason

Good doesn't come without pain

Start over

Again

Everything happens for a reason

[Verse 1: Big Boi]

Ain't it funny how you're born and then your life begins?

Just like a baby, all alone — that's if you wasn't a twin

You must begin to fend for self when the umbilical's cut

The doctor put you under the heating lamp; your spirit is touched

You know what? I take that back (Why?)

You was alive

Date of conception, interception, 'cause the sperm did collide

From T 'n' A to DNA, feelings turn to chil'en's

The morning-after pill didn't put a halt to our very existence

We living, breathing; soon, we'll be teethin'

Our granny got a gold, and now, we want one for that reason

An adolescent mind is so impressionable in those stages, but

Parents got to parent their kids, to keep them out of cages

Cell therapists, beware of this loogie that I spit –

Incarceration without rehabilitation really don't mean shit

Lil' Ricky home—he gotta serve probation for six months

But Uncle Darnell and Ol' Dirty Bastard still in the joint

[Chorus: Debra Killings, Khujo Goodie & Big Boi]

Reset

Ugh

Start over (Ugh, uh-huh, that's right)

Again (Ugh, ugh, that's right)

Ugh, that's right, that's right

Say, ugh, ugh, that's right, that's right

Everything happens for a reason (Know that)

Good doesn't come without pain

Uh-huh, blood thicker than water, uh-huh, c'mon, c'mon, ah

That's for real, shawty, why's that?

Start over (We gots to do it all over again)

Again (Uh-huh, ah— I don't care, do it all over again)

We gots to do it all over again

Ugh, uh-huh, Cotton Club Goodie (Cotton Club Goodie!)

Everything happens for a reason (Cotton Club Goodie!)

Ugh, ugh, ugh, yeah

[Verse 2: Khujo Goodie]

Good doesn't come without pain (Pain)

Meaning, before it get better, it's gon' get worse (Worse)

Like my homies on the sick side (Side), stay dying over turf

That don't belong to urse–I mean "us" (Us), left in the dust (Dust)

Try to catch up with massah (Massah)

I used to wanna wrap my hands around the esophagus (Esophagus)

Of them crackers (Rah, rah)

But Ephesians 6:12 said it wasn't flesh and blood that we wrestle against

Principalities, powers of this world

Rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places

So throw on the whole armor of righteousness

I "Sparxxx" this thing, but my name ain't Bubba

I got problems with racist cab drivers, like Glover ("Fuck you doing, man? My money good")

And brothers that wax fat ("My money ain't good? Fuck you, man")

And forget all about the struggle ("Yeah, suck my dick")

[Chorus: Debra Killings, Khujo Goodie & Cee-Lo Green]

Ugh, yeah, come on, come on (Give me some help now here, shawty)

Guess what, guess what? Time to reset this thang

Start over (Ugh, to them triple-zeroes)

Again (Ugh, the K-H-U-J-O)

G-O-O-D-I-E, Big Boi

(Cotton Club Goodie) Big Boi, Big Boi

Everything happens for a reason

Good doesn't come without pain

Start over

Again

Everything happens for a reason (Listen to me)

[Verse 3: Cee-Lo Green]

I awaken to sunlight

That's beyond bright

This day will be done right

There is a war just waiting on the other side of the door

But I'll be bringing God to the gunfight

Can't live forever—so, have some fun, right?

Life's a bowl of candy—you can have one, right?

You can handle if tomorrow never come, right?

You get used to singing, if only for one night

But I intend to raise two daughters and a son right

And I couldn't've wrote this if I was hopeless

And, see, I focus to provoke this

So open wide for my opinionated opus

Like playing Go Fish, but not below this

Before I go, I thought that you all should know this

Recognize and realize before any regretting

Before you relapse, perhaps you'll consider resetting

Hmm? (Hmm?)

[Outro: Debra Killings]

Start over

Again

Everything happens for a reason
