Back Up Plan Lyrics

[Intro: Big Boi]
Put that bitch in smash mode!
Boo, I got a back up plan to the back up plan
To back up my back up plan
(And one and two, now you know what to do)
Motherfucker let's go
Yeah-yeah, Let's go
Put your back into it like you Grandma do it, let's go
A-Town!
Boo, I got a back up plan to the back up plan
To back up my back up plan

[Chorus] + (Big Boi)
I knew I was wrooong for thinking that she caaaared
I knew all alooong, that's whay I stay prepaaared
{And one and two, now you know what to do}
My nigga what was I to do, but find someone elseeeeeeeeee
(Boo, I got a back up plan to the back up plan
To back up my back up plan)

[Verse One: Big Boi]
This is how it starts
Momma fell heel over head and says you was the one
Big Boi, but she calls me Antwan
So just for fun, I went along with hon
I was young, full of cum, done for the skeet skeet, not dumb
We would meet undiscretely discrete
She in heat like beitch on a leash (BIIITCH!)
No disrespect, but metaphorically she's a beeeeast
No teasing, no whining
Just bumping and grinding til we got slimey
Yeah, from that sweet stick thang, can't complain
I was hooked on the box like the hot Krispy Cremes

[Chorus]

[Verse Two: Big Boi]
Well it didn't take long for me to game peeep
It was week after week, I was seeing the same freak
I be damned if we posing for pictures and throwing rice
Maybe throwing up in Vegas while Daddy's on the dice
I might (might) just put you on the chopping block tonight
Act right and you can get my second string spotlight
But if you freaking, I'm speaking clean as a whistle
This'll be the last offical offer before dismissal
No teasing, no whining
Just bumping and grinding til we got slimey
Yeah, got the latex for the fit
Because she trying to +trick Daddy+, Slip-N-Slide on this dick!

[Chorus]

[Bridge: Big Boi w/ back up singers]
You are not the one, you are not the one
You can be my two, you can be my two
And one and one, everybody have fun
And one and one, everybody have fun
(And one and two, now you know what to do)

[Chorus]

[Outro: Big Boi]
And one and one, everybody have fun
And one and one, everybody have fun
Now two, now two, I'mm give her back to you
I'm through, nigga
I don had enough of the nast stuff
One, two, yeah!

For some reason when I listen to this song, I get the feeling that this is about those "tricks" that tried to trap a man by getting pregnant. "Yeah, got the latex for the fit Because she trying to +trick Daddy+, Slip-N-Slide on this dick!" I think he's being prepared or having a back up plan to not get the "trick" pregnant by using a condom.

"I be damned if we posing for pictures and throwing rice" Sounds like he's not ready for commitment because at weddings people traditionally throw rice and pose for pictures.

My short interpretation of the song: Everybody needs "love". If we stop trying to play games/trick each other - and commit ourselves to doing the right thing - we will all receive the "love" we need.

  • Momma fell heel over head, then said you was the one (one, one)

  • My nigga, what was I to do...?

  • Go find somebody else(!).

  • I was young, full of cum, down for the "skeet skeet" - not dumb.

  • We would meet up the skreet# (street), be discrete.

  • I was hooked on that# box like the hot Krispy Kremes#

  • Well, it didn't take long for me to game peep#

  • It was week after week, I was seeking# the same freak

  • I'd be damned if we'd be# posing for pictures and throwing rice

  • Baby# throwing up in Vegas while Daddy's on the dice

  • I might (might) just put you on the chopping block tonight (night)

  • Act right;# you can get my second string spotlight.

  • Yeah, got the latex gloves# for the fit.

  • 'Cause# she trying to +trick Daddy+, Slip-N-Slide on his# dick!

  • You are not The One#, you are not The One#.

(The Matrix.)

  • You can be my "too"#, you can be my "number" too#.

( http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/number

  1. (Informal) person; individual: "the attractive number standing at the bar."

Or, it might mean that although she's not Neo - so to speak - he'd definitely like to... share an experience with her, and would be grateful for their meeting.)

  • And one and one, everybody have fun.

(I take the "And 1, and 2" to be basketball metaphors. Call foul when you should, but have fun. If it's a serious foul, you get two shots - "a fair solution to whatever issue", in other words.)

(The phrase being scratched sounds like "Boo, you ain't the first or the last")

The reason I want avoid using the word "love": In my opinion/experience, love is basically logic.

No one likes pain - unless they choose to explore that realm of existence in a measured fashion (in which case, agreements and plans will/should be made).
