About Slump
Produced by OutKast for Earthtone Backed by a neck-snapping beat and curlicue guitar licks, Big Boi spits cautionary street tales while cutting corners with Dungeon Fam members Backbone and Cool Breeze in what could be considered the sequel to Goodie Mob's "Dirty South." Mr. DJ: That was one of the first tracks Big [made]. Andre 3000: Big brought the beat and I produced the music around it. [My infant son] Seven is on there [crying], and Tony Hightower's mom, Theresa Hightower, is singing on it. .
Slump Lyrics
[00:01.56] Baby gotta eat, gotta eat, gotta eat
[00:03.42] Yeah, yeah, off the top (off the top)
[00:06.21] Slick pot (slick pot), know about it (know about it)
[00:09.55] Its all back (it's all back), come on (come on, come on)
[00:12.14] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-
[00:15.38] From front to back street, listen, we on a mission
[00:18.05] To get right, workin' street corner in the midnight
[00:21.09] Picture the scene, these fiends with fire
[00:23.12] Ten dollar dreams, scheme, for a sack of that, believe that
[00:26.28] I'm with whatever like Wheatstraw
[00:28.23] Stuck servin' my cocaine raw
[00:30.48] Drop 62 off the brick, jump back
[00:33.45] 20 over now that's mo' money to get
[00:35.43] Slick, we fin' to lick on this corner without gettin' caught
[00:38.67] But time keep on slippin' and money gettin' short
[00:40.97] Plus that crooked cop Brock think we blow slangin' (fuck him)
[00:43.65] That why he ride through the hole with the do' swangin
[00:46.16] But I make moves (make moves), shake them tricks up out they shoestrings
[00:49.56] Be mo' precise when we do things
[00:51.35] 'Cause life is like shakin the dice, but I buck back twice
[00:54.06] Like five-deuce, fo'-trey, okay (okay)
[00:56.02] I'm strictly stressin' dirty dirty
[00:57.89] Gon' represent it to the t-top
[00:59.93] Born and bred up on the street top
[01:01.75] Get to the money and the sweet spot
[01:03.84] And forever hollering "Hootie Hoo!" When we see cops
[01:06.98] I'm stressin' dirty dirty
[01:08.13] Gon' represent it to the t-top
[01:10.22] Born and bred up on the street top
[01:12.04] Get to the money and the sweet spot
[01:14.10] And forever hollering "Hootie Hoo!" When we see cops
[01:17.48] Shit, cops and robbers niggas be bound to get them dollars and cents (cents)
[01:19.97] They get in a slump like baseball players when they short on they rent (rent)
[01:22.62] Anything goin' you ain't knowin' how much money you spent (spent)
[01:25.33] But in the real world you surrounded by these ladies and gents
[01:27.62] Who hang around you 'cause you be buyin' all the weed and all the chicken
[01:30.71] Feedin' everybody, smokin' em out
[01:31.89] When you was broke though they was missin'
[01:33.01] Now you ridin' bout fo' deep, startin to tear up your suspension
[01:35.73] And your baby mamma on child support, my fault, forgot to mention
[01:38.37] You don't even have a checking account wasn't thinking about no pension
[01:40.95] I used to work at Steak 'N' Ale, Old Gold off in the kitchen
[01:43.42] Had determination and graduated, now I got the whole rap world fascinated
[01:46.12] I wanted a piece of the pie for me and my family so I made it
[01:48.68] Continue to sell dope, it's payin' the bills so you gon' do it
[01:50.99] But legislation got this new policy, three strikes and you're ruined
[01:54.00] Now where your crew at? Yeah, yeah, yeah-
[01:58.23] I'm strictly stressin' dirty dirty
[01:59.86] Gon' represent it to the t-top
[02:01.96] Born and bred up on the street top
[02:03.79] Get to the money and the sweet spot
[02:05.82] And forever hollering "Hootie Hoo!" When we see cops
[02:08.98] I'm stressin' dirty dirty
[02:10.19] Gon' represent it to the t-top
[02:12.36] Born and bred up on the street top
[02:14.03] Get to the money and the sweet spot
[02:16.14] And forever hollering "Hootie Hoo!" When we see cops
[02:18.84] Ay, me and my buddy on the cut and they know we serving 'em slabs
[02:21.97] We better watch what we doing, and look out for Joe Nab
[02:24.25] And quit re-ing up and standing on this same old block
[02:27.19] Before our gangsta ass partner get both of us shot
[02:29.78] Niggas talking 'cause they makin' some flow
[02:31.83] But still ain't did nothing that ain't been done before
[02:34.27] You can't be trying to showcase, just put it down for your spot
[02:37.00] And improvise and work with that little you got
[02:39.48] So I think when I finish selling my last sack
[02:42.18] I'ma take some of this money, go and give some back
[02:44.61] 'Cause people won't forget about the time you gave, know wa' m'sayin'?
[02:47.77] And start thinking bout a path to pave (woo)
[02:49.80] I'm strictly stressin' dirty dirty
[02:51.45] Gon' represent it to the t-top
