Don't let the days of your life pass by
You need to ? up, ? out and ? somethin
Don't spend all your time tryin to get high
You need ? up, ? out and ? somethin
How will you make it if you never even try
You need to ? up, ? out and ? somethin
Cuz you and I got to do for you and I

    Cee Lo came with a classic verse on this one
    I don't recall, ever graduatin at all
    Sometimes I feel I'm just a disappointment to y'all
    Every day, I just lay around then I can't be found
    Always asked to give me some livin life like a ?
    Times is rough, my auntie got enough problems of her own
    ? , you supposed to be grown
    I agree, I try to be the man I'm 'posed to be
    But negativity is all you seem to ever see
    I admit, I've done some dumb ?
    And I'm probably gon do some mo'
    You shouldn't hold that against me though (Why not?)
    Why not? My music's all that I got
    But some time must be ingested for this to be manifested
    I know you know but I'm gon say this to you I...
    Get high but I don't get too high
    So what's the limit 'posed to be?
    That must be why you can't get your ass up out the bed before three
    You need to ? up, ? out, cut that ? out
    Ain't you sick and tired of having to do without
    And what up with all these questions?
    As act as though you know somethin I don't. Do you have any suggestions?
    Cuz every job I get is cruel and demeanin
    Sick of takin trash out and toilet bowl cleanin
    But I'm also sick and tired of strugglin
    I never ever thought I'd have resort to drug smugglin
    Naw, that ain't what I'm about
    Cee-Lo is just continue travelin his route
    Without any doubt or fear
    I know the Lord ain't brought me this far so he could drop me off here
    Did I make myself clear?

    Dre always been good at spittin on that positive tip without comin off as preachy
    i always could relate to his verse on this track cause i was a straight fool back in HS lol
    coudnt nobody tell me nothing and i never would graduated if it wasnt for the program i was in
    Y'all tellin me that I need to get out and vote, huh. Why?
    Ain't nobody black runnin but crackers, so, why I got to
    register?
    I thinkin of better ? to do with my time
    Never smelled aroma of diploma, but I write the deep ass rhymes
    So let me take ya way, back to when a ? stayed in Southwest
    Atlanta,
    Y'all could not tell me nuthin, thought I hit that bottom rock
    At age 13, start workin at the loadin dock
    They layin my mama off of work, General Motors trippin
    But I come home Bank like Hank, from lickin and dippin
    Doin dumb ? , not knowin what a ? know now
    Yeah, that petty ? will have you cased up and locked down
    I dips, over to East Point, still actin a fool
    Wastin my time in the school, I'd rather be shootin pool
    Cool is how I played the tenth grade
    I thought it was all about mackin hoes and wearin ? fade
    Instead of bein in class, I'd rather be up in some ass
    Not, thinkin about them six courses that I need to pass
    Graduation rolled around like rolly-pollies
    Damn, that's ? up. I shoulda listened when my mama told me
    That, if you play now, you gonna suffer later
    Figured she was talkin yin-yang, so I payed her no attention
    And kept missin the point she tried to poke me with
    The doper that I get, the more I'm feelin broke and ?
    Huh, but that don't matter though, I am an O-UT-KAST
    So get up off your ass

    Cee Lo is underrated as hell. Lyrically, there aren't too many who could ? with him before he went of the deep end.

    ^ Whaat, he was blacking out on that first Goodie Mob album bruh!
    he wasnt even tryna flex and just be nice with it either, all that lyrical finessing
    dont mean ? if you not speaking about sumthing and he could do both effortlessly

    He went from sayin
    Goodie Mob means, "The Good Die Mostly Over ? "
    You take away one "O" and it will let you know
    "? is Every Man of Blackness"

    to that pop crossover tip but i aint even mad at'em
