OutKast bring their Dungeon Family members Killer Mike and Sleepy Brown along to the “Land of a Million Drums,” which features a psychedelic circus style beat that matches the style of the Scooby Doo movie and original cartoon. André 3000 explains how this song ended up on the Scooby Doo soundtrack...
[Hook: André 3000 & Sleepy Brown]
In the land of a million drums
There is always something going on, on, on, on
If you can't locate your thought off
Might as well go on take your dead ass home, home, home, home
[Verse 1: Big Boi]
In the land of a million drums
I catch a pattern that spit rings around you like Saturn
Intergalactic tracks I mack 'em like Max Julien
This one for scooby, pass the doobie I'mma do me one, do me one
Only you clean over
I pick up the mic and rock it while I'm sober
For the rated G exposure if you listen what I'm tryin to told ya
We fathers with seeds of our own
We're talkin about sons and daughters boy, not roots and clones
Now that the theory gone wrong
An embryo with no soul
Stuck in this green mini-van with my lungs in a chokehold
Shaggy pass the boombastic
Daphne said don't do that
Freaky Fred smashed the gas and slammed us into traffic
Now Scrappy wanna box and throw them bows
So I had to sic the pitbull on him before he could pass one blow
Scooby-doo, scooby-doo, scooby damn doo, scooby doo (Scooby doobie doo)
[Hook: André 3000 & Sleepy Brown]
In the land of a million drums
There is always something going on, on, on, on
If you can't locate your thought off
Might as well go on take your dead ass home, home, home, home
[Verse 2: Killer Mike]
Woke up from a long night of hanging out with Shaggy
Oh no, lost my last baggy of scoobie snackies
Shaggy, wake up, we've been had
Our Scooby snacks, they got the whole stash
He said, "Who, who?"
I don't have a clue
I suspect the thirteen ghosts of Scooby-Doo
Call Vincent Price up on the Nextel
Tell him to send another package right through the mail
In the meantime, I'ma call Velma to tell her
To get the Mystery Machine ready
I'm two-wayin' Daphne and Freddy
Me and Shaggy dressed in all black, strapped
Dippin' through the flash trying to get our stash back
Rounding up suspects, collectin' clues
I got a question, where the hell is Scooby Doo when you need him?
The hound's only found when you feed him
In fact he probably got my sack
Tell him holler back
[Hook: André 3000 & Sleepy Brown]
In the land of a million drums
There is always something going on, on, on, on
If you can't locate your thought off
Might as well go on take your dead ass home, home, home, home
[Break: André 3000]
Break it down, break it down baby 'til the flow jumps off the ground
Ooo break it down lookin' over yonder til the walls come tumblin down
Ooo, yes lord y'ain't gotta tell me two times but you know I know
Ooo, break it down, break it down baby 'cuz I want y'all all to know
We rock the world
[Hook: André 3000 & Sleepy Brown]
In the land of a million drums
There is always something going on, on, on, on
If you can't locate your thought off
Might as well go on take your dead ass home, home, home, home
[Outro]
I coulda got away with it, if it wasn't for ya meddlin kids
(oh oh, oh no)
