Just keep your faith in me
Don't act impatiently
You'll get where you need to be
In due time
Even when things are slow
Hold on and don't let go
I'll give you what I owe
In due time
Yeah, check it
When that, when that thinkin' of cruisin'
The Braves cap is to the side
Thinkin' the police gon' pull me over
With this herb off in my ride
So I hide the brick of weed
Under the arm rest, under the leather
And thinkin' of startin' ways to make my life
A little bit better than the dope peddler
Never to pay no fucking taxes
Takin' a chunk up out of my checks
And makin' my rhymes just look like practice
Buying clothing, Range Roving, with my folks
Don't speak about the Dirty South
My crew ain't 'bout no jokes
I know some people don't like the way we flow because they envy
They talkin' about how they, 'bout they
And that they could have been me
You lookin' to be the butterfly, without the caterpillar
Take yo' time and do it right
'Cause you gon' make it I swear my, swear my, or collapse one
Fallin' a victim to your greed, boy (boy)
You're lookin' to be Big Willie
But you're still a seed, boy
The information in my skull be pokin'
Some of y'all on the shoulder
But on the other side of the fence
They got y'all, got y'all breakin' boulders for quick money
Strugglin's just a part of my day
Many obstacles have been placed in my way
I know the only reason that I make it through
Is because I never stopped believing in you
Some people wonder why we here, in the first place
They can't believe 'cause they ain't never seen yo' face
But even when you pray, the next day you gotta try
Can't wait for nobody to come down out the sky
You've got to realize that the world's a test
You can only do your best and let him do the rest
You've got yo' life, and got yo' health
So quit procrastinating and push it yourself
You've got to realize that the world's a test
You can only do your best and let him do the rest
You've got yo' life, and got yo' health
So quit procrastinating ('nating, 'nating)
Just keep your faith in me
Don't act impatiently
You'll get where you need to be
In due time
Even when things are slow
Hold on and don't let go
I'll give you what I owe
In due time
Huh, who said good folks is not supposed to die?
The same, the same that said, that said is not supposed to cry
United States giving out milk and cheese to pacify
I'm sure they got a cure for AIDS, but yet it's classified
You wonder why I spit the truth and not to make no dough
To make a difference for this mother - up and blow
In pieces, I could think of many reasons
Only when, only when, goin' bad, you want to holla Jesus
Jesus, I pledge allegiance
They got my knuckles bleedin'
From crawling, got these, got these, thinkin' they really ballin'
When they isn't, don't take my word, there's - off in prison
That will tell you, that's locked up for long time and won't sell you
No flex, so congregation, will you turn yo' text
To the book of Outkast?
Chapter two, verse one
The first one that feel me
Jump up and make a joyful noise
You's Outkasted, meaning
Now you have a choice, like that
Just keep your faith in me
Don't act impatiently
You'll get where you need to be
In due time
Even when things are slow
Hold on and don't let go
I'll give you what I owe
In due time
Just keep your faith in me
Don't act impatiently
You'll get where you need to be
In due time
Even when things are slow
Hold on and don't let go
I'll give you what I owe
In due time
