KAMAU interprets OutKast’s dualistic dance anthem (“Hey Ya!”), including an original verse with his signature sound and vocals.
According to KAMAU’s SoundCloud post:
Hey Ya! is the epitome of absolute duality between the energy and content within one song. It’s, sonically, the happiest song, with...
[Verse 1]
My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so
And this I know for sure
But does she really want it
But can't stand to see me
Walk out the door?
Don't try to fight the feeling
Cause the thought alone is killing me right now
Thank God for Mom and Dad
For sticking through together
Cause we don't know how
[Hook]
Hey ya!
Hey ya!
Hey ya!
Hey ya!
[Verse 2]
You think you've got it
Oh, you think you've got it
But "got it" just don't get it
When there's nothing at all
We get together
Oh, we get together
But sex is always better
When there's feelings involved
If what they say is "Nothing is forever"
Then what makes, what makes, what makes
What makes, what makes, what makes love the exception?
So why you why you, why you why you why you
Are we so in denial
If you know we're not happy here?
(Ya'll don't give a damn, ya'll just wanna dance)
Yebo!
[Hook]
[Bridge]
She lives in my lap
But who lives in my heart?
Who lives in?
Who's in love?
Who survives? Who's in love?
[Verse 3]
(YEBO!)
We rose like a rose from the stone
Under fluorescent light
Love like glass in the water
And we thought it was it was ice
Cold like earth when it froze
Unforgiven, forgive it for it was dead from the go
We kissed under the vultures, confused it for Mistletoe
We jumped into the ocean without learning how to float
[Outro]
(Who survives? Who's in love?)
Hey Ya was written by KAMAUU & André 3000.
According to KAMAU’s SoundCloud post:
Hey Ya! is the epitome of absolute duality between the energy and content within one song. It’s, sonically, the happiest song, with the saddest content that we can all relate to, a breaking heart…a sinking romance. Andre 3000, almost prophetically, foresees the...
