About Nathaniel
A real-life collect call from the bing features inmate and OutKast crony Nathaniel rapping a pungent, a cappella verse about the ills and ironies of doing time: "They treat you like a motherfuckin' slave/Dope fiends find Jesus, swear they saved." A perfect set-up for the next song, "Liberation." Andre 3000: Nathaniel had gotten locked up for a little trouble. It was Big Boi's idea to put him on the album, and half the time I had a cousin or somebody that was in jail [too] so we knew it would resonate with a lot of people. .
Nathaniel Lyrics
[00:00.97] Shit man
[00:03.12] Nigga gotta go on and goat damn
[00:05.57] Get the shit straight when I god damn get out
[00:08.95] Well shit
[00:13.32] This what really goin' down
[00:15.90] Wassup my nigga? Another day the same shit
[00:18.90] Punk-ass C.O.'s on a nigga dick
[00:21.43] Got me up at three o'clock cookin eggs n' grits
[00:23.78] I'm a G from C.P. I can't take the shit
[00:26.12] Tryin to hold a nigga down in this country ass town
[00:28.84] I'm used to smokin' chronic movin' pounds
[00:31.10] They got a nigga on some, "Sir, yessir, left right left"
[00:34.85] Throw me in the hole if my ass outta step
[00:37.30] They treat you like a motherfuckin' slave
[00:39.34] Dopefiends find Jesus, swear they saved
[00:42.25] Niggas better get they game tight
[00:44.13] 'Cause these crackers tryin to take a nigga life and they rights
[00:46.83] I'm surrounded by fake-ass crooks
[00:49.31] They swear they kingpins but don't have money on they books
[00:51.97] I hear so many lies it make me sick
[00:54.42] These niggas called ballers sellin' dimes and nicks
[00:56.98] I can't wait 'til the day they let me go
[00:59.34] So I can eat some steak and shrimp
[01:00.62] Grab a mic, and bust a flow
[01:02.08] I'm Audi 5 nigga lights out
[01:04.19] Hold it down on the streets until the day that I get out
[01:08.63] I'm out man
[00:03.12] Nigga gotta go on and goat damn
[00:05.57] Get the shit straight when I god damn get out
[00:08.95] Well shit
[00:13.32] This what really goin' down
[00:15.90] Wassup my nigga? Another day the same shit
[00:18.90] Punk-ass C.O.'s on a nigga dick
[00:21.43] Got me up at three o'clock cookin eggs n' grits
[00:23.78] I'm a G from C.P. I can't take the shit
