Poetry Quote by Outkast
“Yo, this is my story, this is my song, And to them rudypoots don't attempt to try this at home, It's just a poem until y'all learn right from wrong, Know when to bless a situation, when to grab the chrome, But it's back on, another stormy night in Atlanta, Georgia, Overcast, but on behalf of Outkast, I cordially, Invite you to an emotion filled theater, Bring your umbrella cause young fella it gets no weirder.”
