Biography

OutKast is an American hip-hop duo from Atlanta, Georgia, consisting of [a=Andre 3000] aka [a=Andre Benjamin] and [a=Big Boi] aka [a=Antwan Patton]. Formed in the early 1990s, they became pioneers of Southern hip-hop, blending funk, jazz, and electronic elements into their music. Their albums ATLiens (1996), Aquemini (1998), and Stankonia (2000) showcased their eclectic sound, while Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (2003) earned them a Grammy for Album of the Year. Known for hits like Ms. Jackson, Hey Ya!, and B.O.B., OutKast remains one of the most innovative and influential hip-hop acts of all time. OutKast went on hiatus after the release of their 2006 film and soundtrack Idlewild, as André 3000 and Big Boi pursued solo careers. While they reunited for a 2014 tour, no new music followed, and both artists have since focused on individual projects, effectively marking the end of the duo’s active collaboration.

LYRICS

One two three go!
My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so
And this I know for sho
But does she really want it
But can't stand to see me
Walk out the door?
Don't try to fight the feeling
Cause the thought alone is killing me right now
Thank God for Mom and Dad
For sticking through together
Cause we don't know how

Hey ya! Hey ya!
Hey ya! Hey ya!
Hey ya! Hey ya!
Hey ya! Hey ya!

You think you've got it
Oh, you think you've got it
But "got it" just don't get it
'Til there's nothing at all
We've been together
Oh, we've been together
But separate's always better
When there's feelings involved
If what they say is "Nothing is forever"
Then what makes, then what makes, then what makes
Then what makes, what makes, what makes
Love the exception?
So why oh why why oh why
Are we so in denial
When we know we're not happy here?
Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance

Hey ya! Uh-oh
Hey ya! Uh-oh
Don't want to meet your daddy, Hey ya! Uh-oh
Just want you in my Caddy, Uh-oh, Hey ya! Uh-oh
Don't want to meet your mama, Hey ya! Uh-oh
Just want to make you cumma, Uh-oh, Hey ya! Uh-oh
I'm, I'm, I'm
Hey ya!
I'm just being honest
I'm just being honest

Hey, alright now
Alright now fellas (Yeah!)
Now what's cooler than being cool?
(Ice cold!) I can't hear ya
I say what's cooler than being cool?
(Ice cold!)
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright.. OK: now ladies
(Yeah?)
We're gonna break this back down in just a few seconds
Now don't have me break this thing down for nothing
Now I want to see y'all on your baddest behavior
Lend me some sugar, I am your neighbor! Ah, here we go!
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it like a Polaroid picture
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it like a Polaroid picture

Now all the Beyonce's and Lucy Lius
And babydolls, get on the floor
(Get on the floor) Shake it like a Polaroid picture
You know what to do Shake it, sh-shake it
Oh, you know what to do!
Shake it, sh-shake it Shake it, sh-shake it
Oh, you know what to do! Shake it like a Polaroid picture

Hey ya! Hey ya!
Hey ya! Hey ya!
Hey ya! Hey ya!
Hey ya! Hey ya!
Hey ya! Hey ya!
