In The A - Big Boi, T.I., Ludacris

I keep it playa while some choose to play it safe

Boy check the resume, it’s risky business in the A

I keep it playa while some choose to play it safe

Boy check the resume, it’s risky business in the A

In the A, in the A, in the A, in the A, uh

A, in the A, in the A, in the A, uh

A, in the A, in the A, in the A, uh

A, in the A, in the A, in the A, uh

I’m a Bankhead nigga, you can bank that nigga

Looking for a sucka, well I ain’t that nigga

I’m looking for the money, where the bank at nigga

I’m triple OG, outrank that nigga

I’m cold, riding through the city on vogues

30 karats in the Rollie for the bitches and the hoes

Hanging out the window of a Bentley

I just met my connect, dropped off snow in the bluff

On James P. Brawley, ain’t we ballin'

Got a problem with it, nigga bang that 40

Niggas nowadays just ain’t like shawty

Don’t spit that cocaine like shawty

Set it on fire, they flame ain’t like shawty

Flow don’t go insane, I’m mental

Blowing presidential, 20 bricks off in the rental

We official ATLiens with plenty ye to sell again

DEA on our tail again, well tell amigo mail again

Dope boy, trap nigga shit I did it

Say you want a hundred bricks well I bet I get it

Tell them other sucka niggas tryna rep my city

K.I.N.G.

bitch best get with it

All I know is go get it, swag so silly

Checks on deck, I’m racked up with it

Got a house College Park, stay stacked up with it

Got a Louis V bag, stay sacked up with it

Big diamonds in my Cuban

They won’t be where we go shooting, mane

In the A, it’s undisputed

We some legends, best to do it, mane

King shit, Buckingham Palace

Til I’m bucking on a muthafuckin' beat goddammit, I

Ain’t lost a step, but some of y’all niggas flaw to death

Since Player’s Ball, I was called the best

And now they only call me Daddy Fat Sax

The Cadillac-a with the diamond in the back

With the sunroof top

My daddy said I’m lackin' the vitamin D the sun won’t stop

Shine brighter, rhyme tighter

Than anybody in your top ten my nighga, my nigga

Like a postman, I deliver

See I’m the letter with the anthrax in it, pass that, hit it

Sniff it, snort it, then gon' take a bump shawty

Uh, take a number cause I’m serving the chumps

That wanna jump up and get beat down, I’m Brand Nubian

Brand new again, never get old

When I was little, boy they said I had a old soul

Old gold

Riding with some pimps on a ho stroll, now that’s loco

And you’re local, and I’m global

That means worldwide like a rising tide

I’m gonna subside and rise again like clockwork

C-Bone is gonna show you how the Glock work *brrat*

Nonviolent though, no violence, just styling ho

From the birthplace of MLK where everything ain’t okay but KKK

I’m more Malcolm than Martin, come get some, be a target

Standing in the kitchen with the AK, aka the Choppa

Now this is the A-Town, come on the premises if you wanna

Play with death, you get stung like the Crocodile Hunter

Got them racks, slanging them packs and no we can’t leave them sacks alone

Hired an assistant cause my weed need a chaperone

(Luda!) And then Big Boi will pass the lighter

I’m convinced that we started the California brush fires

One, two, and it don’t stop;

So many whips at my crib

Ya chick came, the bitch thought it was a road block

Spending cash so fast, you’d think I’m foolish

And I love chicks with ass so it arch like St. Louis

Got chicks hugging my nuts like a speedo

'Cause when I’m on the mic, I go for broke like T. O

But we know I’m rich and pay the bills at my mother house

Atlanta cribs jealous cause I’m chilling at my other house

Yeah you may be able to out-trap me

But none of you niggas will ever out-rap me

What is this that you say?!

What’s this you say?

Is that what you say?

Is that what you say?!

Is that what you say?

They stay out all night on the basketball court

Practicing, and practicing their jump shot

Practicing their hook-shot

And practicing and practicing, and then they’re qualified for the majors

Well why can’t you stay up all night practicing your multiplication

Practicing your Chemistry, practicing your Physics

Why can’t you stay up practicing that?!

If practice makes perfect, then why do you just specialize in fun things

And not in the things that require effort, commitment, and sacrifice
