Camp Fire Intro Lyrics

Crackling campfire and crickets

(Big Boi as Uncle Jesse & Andre 3000 as Lil' Shpitty)
A long, long, long, long time ago, before the beginnin' of time
There were thi- there were two - there was thi' group
A group called Ou'Ka' (OutKast). ...Yeah
There were two of 'em
One was named Big Boi and one was named Andre 3000, 300, or sum' like that
Anyway, dem' boys made some of the coldest music I ever heard in my life
Cough cough

Hey, Uncle Jesse. aren't you supposed to so "some of the coldest music I've ever heard"?

Well, don't go disrespectin' ya uncle, now
Anyway, legend has it, that if you
Listen real still:
[mumbling sounds]
Okay
Anyway, legend has it that if you close your eyes and be real still, you can hear them boys at night

...Hoody hooo....

(whispering) Shhh! Listen! Listen, boy, listen!

Fart
Both laughing

Nasty

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

This track introduces Outkast’s mixture of lyrical acuity, goofball humor, Southern drawl, and legitimate offbeat personalities. A new listener will be intrigued to listen to the rest of the album and will soon be enthralled with back to back to back bangers.
