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

[Verse One - Andre 3000]
Caroline! Caroline!
All the guys would say she's mighty fine
But mighty fine only got you somewhere half the time
And the other half either got you cursed out, or coming up short
Yeah, now dig this, even though
You'd need a golden calculator to divide
The time it took to look inside and realize that
Real guys go for real down to Mars girls, yeah!

[Chorus- Repeat 2x]
I know you'd like to thank your shit don't stank
But lean a little bit closer
See that roses really smell like poooooo
Yeah, roses really smell like poooooo

[Verse Two - Andre 3000]
Caroline! See she's the reason for the word "bitch"
I hope she's speeding on the way to the club
Trying to hurry up to get to some
Baller or singer or somebody like that
And try to put on her makeup in the mirror
And crash, crash, crash.. into a ditch! (Just Playing!)
She needs a golden calculator to divide
The time it took to look inside and realize that
Real guys go for real down to Mars girls, yeah!

[Chorus]

[Verse Three]
Well she's got a hotty body, but her attitude is potty
When I met her at a party she was hardly acting naughty
I said "Would you call me?"
She said "Pardon me, are you ballin'?"
I said "Darling, you sound like a prostitute pursing"
Oh so you're one them freaks, get geeked at the sight of ATM receipts
But game been peeped, dropping names she's weak
Trickin' off this bitch is lost
Must take me for a geek a quick way to eat
A neat place sleep, a rent-a-car for a week, a trick for a treat
Now go on the raw sex, my AIDS test is flawless
Regardless, we don't want to get involved with no lawyers
And judges just to hold grudges in a courtroom
I wanna see ya support bra not support you!
Better come back down to Mars
Girl, quit chasin' cars
What happens when the dough get so low
Bitch, you ain't that fine
No way.. no way.. no way

[Repeat 2x]
Crazy bitch
Bitch, stupid ass bitch
Old punk ass bitch, old dumbass bitch
A bitch's bitch, just a bitch
