When I first heard this verse I was young and just vibing to the groove those Outkast productions provided. My favorite songs off the Aquemini album were “Da Art of Storytellin Pt 1 & 2”. As I listen to this album today I recognize more of the lyricism that was contained in the album. Andre was definitely rhyming at a level that people didn’t really give notice to until a few years ago. Peep his last verse on Aquemini, smh. check out these lyrics
My mind warps and bends floats the wind count to ten
meet the twin Andre Ben. welcome to the lion’s den
original skin many men comprehend
I extend myself so you go out & tell a friend
Sin all depends on what you believing in
Faith is what you make it that’s the hardest shit since MC Ren
Alien can blend right on in wit’ yo’ kin
look again ’cause I swear I spot one every now & then
It’s happenin’ again wish I could tell you when
Andre this is Andre y’all just gon’ have to make amends
Very short but a dagger at the least. Listen
