About This Track

A meditation on collective elevation wrapped in funk and spoken-word philosophy. 'Vibrate' builds around a simple, repeating exhortation: when you've given what you can, abandon convention and join something larger. The track layers this mantra over a hypnotic groove, its title becoming both command and condition, a frequency to aspire to. The second half pivots toward something graver. André speaks directly about desensitisation, environmental collapse, and the paradox of individual agency in a world shaped by forces beyond control. He frames it as a kind of spiritual reckoning: you are watched, but not judged; the future rests in your hands, not in obedience to external authority. The song refuses easy answers, instead offering a tension between surrender to the groove and the weight of personal responsibility.

"Vibrate" is a track by OutKast, from the album Speakerboxxx / The Love Below, released 22nd September 2003. The track is 6:39 long. It's filed under Rap. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about OutKast.

Lyrics

Vibrate

Every boy and girl, woman to man
When you feel you've done about the best you can
Motherfuck the wagon, come join the band
Vibrate, vibrate higher
Every boy and girl, woman to man
When you feel you've done about the best you can
Motherfuck the wagon, come join the band
Vibrate, vibrate higher
(Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-ooh)
(Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-ooh)
(Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-ooh)
(Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-ooh)
Every boy and girl, woman to man
When you feel you've done about the best you can
Motherfuck the wagon, come join the band
Vibrate, vibrate higher
Every boy and girl, woman to man
When you feel you've done about the best you can
Motherfuck the wagon, come join the band
Vibrate, vibrate higher
Sometimes when it's late at night
And you have no one to talk to
Here's what you do, you go through that
Raggedy cell phone 'bout two or three times
Tracy ain't home, Tina ain't home
The Love Below starts talkin' to ya
Every boy and girl, woman to man
When you feel you've done about the best you can
Motherfuck the wagon, come join the band
Vibrate, vibrate higher
Every boy and girl, woman to man
When you feel you've done about the best you can
Motherfuck the wagon, come join the band
Vibrate, vibrate higher (doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-ooh)
The circumcision has already begun
Desensitizing the very thing or thang that
Brought you into this motherfucker in the first place (doo-doo, doo-doo)
And when I say "motherfucker" I do mean "mother fucker" (doo-ooh)
Because Mother Earth is dying
And we continue to fuck her death (doo-doo, doo-doo)
Play with your own score sheet (doo-ooh)
Become the master of your own
And Yes, God is watching you
But no need to be embarrassed (doo-doo, doo-doo)
For the future is in your hands (doo-ooh)
No the future is in your hand
Play with your own score sheet
Every boy and girl, woman to man
When you feel you've done about the best you can
Motherfuck the wagon, come join the band
Vibrate, vibrate higher
Every boy and girl, woman to man
When you feel you've done about the best you can
Motherfuck the wagon, come join the band
Vibrate, vibrate higher
Every boy and girl, woman to man
When you feel you've done about the best you can
Motherfuck the wagon, come join the band
Vibrate, vibrate higher
