Her and I were f*ckin’ / So pure and perverted, so spirit spinning and dirty / So on, so on and so on, we hoped that no one heard us / Sh-sh, ah, ah And to this day, I think her mama knew but let us explore.” The MC who has been vivid in descriptions of sex and sexuality on OutKast gems like “Babylon” and “Spread,” as well as their “International Players Anthem” duet with UGK, does not dial it back.ĭre continues, addressing both of his parents.
