OutKast, Erykah Badu - Humble Mumble lyrics

Ah, I stank I can, I stank I can
The funky engine that could
Ooh, ooh, yosky, wosky, pisky, wisky
All aboard the Stankonia Express
The underground smell road
Everybody's lookin' for an excuse
To let loose what's your locomotive
The Chatta-nigga choo choo?

Humble as a mumble in the jungles
Of shouts and screams
That's the way the cracker crumbles
So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams
Humble as a mumble in the jungles
Of shouts and screams
That's the way the cracker crumbles
So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams

Back on the microphone
Your number one controller
I rock the microphone like a blizzard I'm
So cold I'm tryin' to told ya
Life is like a great big roller coaster
Everything in life don't always happen
Like it's supposed to
Trials and tribulations make you stronger
Live longer you wanna reach the nation nigga
Start from ya corner
Everything don't always happen like
You plan it
Demand it over stand it then you handle it
Fuck wishing
You missing the ambition on your mission
Now you switchin'
Why you quittin' cause it's
Heated in the kitchen?
Sloppy slipping in your pimpin' nigga (Nigga)
You either pistol whoop the nigga
Or you choke the trigger
You've gots to follow through
Struggle to complete your dreams
"No Weapon Formed Against You
Prospers" 54: 17
From Isaiah, lay a, nigga down and spray 'em
If the dealer dealt a fucked up hand
Of cards you've gotta play 'em

Humble as a mumble in the jungles
Of shouts and screams
That's the way the cracker crumbles
So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams
Humble as a mumble in the jungles
Of shouts and screams
That's the way the cracker crumbles
So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams

Yeah, too Democratic, Republic fuck it
We chicken nugget
We dip in the sauce like mop and bucket
Blue-collar scholars, who'll take your dolla
And wipe my ass with it
You living for the lotto never hit it
I met a critic, I made her shit her draws
She said she thought Hip Hop
Was only guns and alcohol
I said "Oh hell naw!", but yet it's that too
You can't discrima hate cause you done
Read a book or two
What if I looked at you in a
Microscope saw all the dirty organisms
Living in your closet would I stop
And would I pause it, whoo
To put that bitch in slower motion
Got the potion and the antidote
And a quote for collision, the decision
Is do you want to live or wanna exist?
The game changes every day
So obsolete is the fist and marches
Speeches only reaches those who
Already know about it
This is how we go about it

Humble as a mumble in the jungles
Of shouts and screams
That's the way the cracker crumbles
So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams
Humble as a mumble in the jungles
Of shouts and screams
That's the way the cracker crumbles
So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams

I'm wild, just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free
Just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream
The rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die
Just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day, it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray
It finds it's way
And there it lays, until the rain and sun
Then I breathe
Just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful
That's life and that's life (Ahh)
And that's life and that's life

Humble as a mumble in the jungles
Of shouts and screams
That's the way the cracker crumbles
So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams
Humble as a mumble in the jungles
Of shouts and screams
That's the way the cracker crumbles
So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams

Humble as a mumble in the jungles
Of shouts and screams
That's the way the cracker crumbles
So I guess I've gotta re-route my dreams
Y'all can't harm me, it's over

Shhhh hush shhhh hush
Shhhh hush shhhh hush
