B.O.B. - Bombs Over Baghdad Lyrics

[00:02.92] One, two, one, two, three
[00:05.82] Yeah, inslumnational underground
[00:07.88] Thunder pounds, when I stomp the ground (woo)
[00:09.47] Like a million elephants or silverback orangutans
[00:11.84] You can't stop a train
[00:13.26] Who wants some? Don't come unprepared
[00:14.25] I'll be there, but when I leave there
[00:15.54] Better be a household name
[00:16.71] Weatherman tellin' us it ain't gon' rain
[00:17.96] So now we sittin' in a droptop, soakin' wet
[00:19.91] In a silk suit tryin' not to sweat
[00:21.37] Hittin' somersaults without the net
[00:23.03] But this'll be the year that we won't forget, the 1-9-9-9
[00:26.08] Anno Domini, anything goes
[00:27.21] Be what you want to be, long as you know
[00:28.74] Consequences are given for living the fence is
[00:30.92] Too high to jump in jail, too low to dig
[00:32.71] I might just touch hell, hot
[00:34.26] Get a life, now they on sale
[00:35.56] Then I might cast you a spell
[00:36.55] Look at what came in the mail
[00:37.71] A scale and some Arm & Hammer
[00:38.77] Soul gold grill, and a baby mamma
[00:40.42] Black Cadillac and a pack of pampers
[00:41.89] Stack of questions with no answers
[00:43.53] Cure for cancer, cure for AIDS
[00:45.02] Make a nigga want to stay on tour for days
[00:46.57] Get back home, thangs are wrong
[00:48.19] Well, not really, it was bad all along
[00:49.60] Before your left, adds up to a ball of power
[00:51.11] Thoughts at a thousand miles per hour
[00:52.72] Hello, ghetto, let yo' brain breathe
[00:54.32] Believe there's always mo', ow
[00:56.00] Don't pull the thang out unless you plan to bang
[00:59.19] (Bombs over Baghdad, yeah) yeah, ha, ha, yeah
[01:02.86] Don't even bang unless you plan to hit something
[01:05.16] (Bombs over Baghdad, yeah) yeah, ah
[01:08.74] Don't pull the thang out unless you plan to bang
[01:11.71] (Bombs over Baghdad, yeah) ha, ha, ha, yeah
[01:14.87] Don't even bang unless you plan to hit something
[01:17.81] (Bombs over Baghdad, yeah)
[01:21.22] Uno, dos, tres, it's on
[01:22.24] Did you ever think a pimp rock a microphone?
[01:24.24] Like that there, boy and we still stay street
[01:25.41] Big things happen every time we meet
[01:27.25] Like a track team, crack fiend, dyin' to geek
[01:28.68] Outkast bumpin' up and down the street
[01:30.23] Slant back Cadillac, 'bout five niggas deep
[01:31.76] 75 MC's freestylin' to the beat
[01:33.35] 'Cause we get crunk, stay drunk at the club
[01:34.89] Should've bought an ounce, but you copped a dub
[01:36.42] Should've held back, but you throwed a punch
[01:38.06] 'Posed to meet your girl, but you packed a lunch
[01:39.67] No D to the U to the G for you
[01:41.15] Got a son on the way, by the name of Bamboo
[01:42.66] Got a little baby girl, four year Jordan
[01:44.10] Never turned my back on my kids for them
[01:45.87] Should've hit it, quit it, rag top
[01:47.33] Before you re-up, get a laptop
[01:48.80] Make a b'ness for yourself, boy set some goals
[01:50.47] Make a fat diamond out of dusty coals
[01:51.95] Record number four, but we on the road
[01:53.52] Hold up, slow up, stop, control
[01:55.20] Like Janet, planet Stankonia's on ya
[01:56.75] Movin' like Floyd, comin' straight to Florida
[01:58.41] Lock all your windows, then block the corridors
[01:59.97] Pullin' off my belt, 'cause a whipping's in order
[02:01.41] Like a three piece fish, 'fore I cut your daughter
[02:03.06] Yo quiero Taco Bell, then I hit the border
[02:04.58] Pitty-pat rappers tryin' to get the five
[02:06.09] I'm a microphone fiend tryin' to stay alive
[02:07.57] When you come A-T-L, boy, you better not hide
[02:09.11] 'Cause the Dungeon Family gon' ride, ha-ha
[02:11.14] Don't pull the thang out unless you plan to bang
[02:14.11] (Bombs over Baghdad, yeah) ah, yeah
[02:17.72] Don't even bang unless you plan to hit something
[02:20.38] (Bombs over Baghdad, yeah) ah, yeah
[02:23.90] Don't pull the thang out unless you plan to bang
[02:26.85] (Bombs over Baghdad, yeah) y'all over, yeah
