The Whole World Lyrics

Send "The Whole World" Ringtone to your Cell

{*breathing hard*}
Okay, here we go

[Andre 3000 - singing]
Yeah I'm afraid, like I'm scared as a dog
But I've got a new song, and I want y'all to sang alooooooong
Sang aloooooooooong..
See this is the way that we walk on a sunny, day
when it's rainin inside and you're, all alooooooooone
All aloooooooooone - yeah!

[Chorus: OutKast - singing]
Cause the whole, world, loves it when you don't get down
(Bah bah-da, bah bah bah-da da)
And the whole, world, loves it when you make that sound
(Bah bah-da, bah bah bah-da da)
And the whole, world, loves it when you're in the news
(Bah bah-da, bah bah bah-da da)
And the whole, world, loves it when you sang the blues
(Bah bah-da, bah bah bah-da da)

[Andre 3000]
Take a little trip, hater pack up yo' mind
Look forward not behind, then you'll see what you find
I caught a sucker dyin cause he thought could rhyme
Now if his momma is a quarter daughter must be a dime
I gotta meet her, don't take no shorts I don't use abbrevi-
-ation, I don't even play the radio neither
Only if I need to know the sports or the weather
I'm a cool type of brother but yep, your head I'll sever
from the neck - see ain't nuttin changed, hit the stage
Set a date sucker, in battle we can engage
I'll slice you, wife you, marry you, divorce you
Throw the Porsche at you, is what I'm forced to do
With my back against the wall, crack his back y'all
Naw, it ain't went nowhere like havin hair with stylin gel in it
Throw a curl in it
Dread that nappy shit up, throw a shell in it
Whatever floats your boat, or finds your lost remote
And this for dem niggaz workin at the airpo't
who got laid off, I take my shades off
If you look straight in my eyes, you still might see a disguise
Because the whole, whole, world, world

[Chorus] (overlaps Andre's last line)

[Killer Mike]
Player I grind, my focus is crime
Raw with the rhyme, I'm slick with the slime
My words are diamonds dug out a mine
Spit 'em, polish, look how they shine
Glitter, glisten, gloss, floss
I catch a beat runnin like Randy Moss
Ride dat bitch off like a brand new horse
I'm rollin my stone, gatherin no moss
Mami I'm comin I hope you get off
Or rock your own boat like Aaliyah then talk
Back, back, forth, forth
Get that sailor on course, course
Make that track a corpse, corpse
Rap, roll, utterly rocked
with my mouth to the mic and my hand on my cock
Cadillac OutKast just won't stop

[Chorus]

[Big Boi]
Turn on the TV and everything is lookin dismal
Went in the bathroom medicine cabinet Pepto-Bismal
Need it for my stomach cause my tummy kinda aches
like a junkie on withdrawal, fresh up off the plate
Wait, back to the enemy of the state
is the Republicans or Democratic candidate
Debate, now even the black box hold the fate
Clueless like Shaggy and Scooby befo' commercial break
Hate, extreme prejudice, let's dismiss this
If you want to you can dub it to your hit list
I know you gon' to, we in this to replenish yo' musical wish list
When it come to this music we stay relentless
Pursuing all that's pursuable
Doing God's willing all things that are doable
The only liable limitation is yourself
Dre set it on the right and I'll set it on the left, cause

[Chorus]

Not many people among the those who posted a comment would appreciate me saying this, but I don't like R'N'B...(That wasn't hard)...I also HATE Hip-Hipity-Hop, and don't get me started on R'N'B.

Anyway, I like Outkast...why couldn't I just say that before? Don't ask.

arrr this song is amazin, n e feel like postin the lyrics for 'reset' ? i also think that song is cool

I agree with everything Jackel said, but the last part about Aaliyah where he says "Make that track a corpse" I don't think thats a direct reference to Aaliyah I think he means "Kill the song" you know "Tear it up" or simply "Do a good job" seems logical to me anyway
and yes this song is awesome
just call me jugs 04/02/2004 00:41:01

Okay, whoever it was that posted the stuff about 9-11 and the thing about Aaliyah, its true.
and.. The song mightve come on the radio JUST about the same time as 9-11, but think about that. The song was written and recorded BEFORE 9-11, and the album came out well before that as well.

I think its just prtty scary.. I still love this song tho. *sings and dances like a moron*

this song is so wiked,ya just cant listen to it once in a row
medion_xp 27/07/2003 11:09:45

i dunno thats y im asking

Seems like Outkast "predicted" the WTC attacks, and maybe they predicted the war on Iraq too....."Bombs over Baghdad". hmmmm......not that a war in Iraq is any surprise, but they have "predicted the past two American wars.....interesting....expect a song about North Korea to be released soon...

It's about 9-11:

"The whole world loves it when you're in the news"

-Arab countries love it when we're in the news (when it's for bad reasons - an "us v/s the world" idea kind of)

"The whole world loves it when you sing the blues"

-arab countries love it when we're unhappy

"And this for dem niggaz workin at the airport, who got laid off"

-a hell of a lot of people got laid off from airports due to less people willing to fly, and airline even shut down eventually

"Turn on the TV and everything is lookin dismal"

-Everything on TV was about the Twin Towers collapsing which was sad

"the black box holds the fate"

-The black boxes held the fate (fairly obvious)

"Clueless like Shaggy and Scooby before a commercial break"

-We didn't know who did it at first

Now if that isn't an allusion to 9-11 then nothing is......also, they talk about Aaliyah too:

"Or rock your own boat like Aaliyah then talk;
Back, back, forth, forth;
Get that sailor on course, course;
Make that track a corpse, corpse"

-The video she was filming when she dies was "Rock the boat", and the viedo takes place on a boat. And saying "make that track a corpse" seems weird to me, but obvioulsy to do with death and Aaliyah, given that a corpse IS a dead body.

Anyways, its certainly about 9-11, and if it was released BEFORE 9-11 and Aaliyah's death, that's some weird shit...

this was released well before 9/11 for crying out loud
