“Mighty O” was the first single released from OutKast’s sixth and final studio album, Idlewild. The song received a Grammy nomination for “Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group” in 2007, but lost to Chamillionaire’s smash hit “Ridin'.”
The hook interpolates Cab Calloway’s 1931 song “Minnie the Moo...

[Chorus: André 3000]
Mighty-ighty-ighty-I (Mighty-ighty-ighty-I)
O-dee, o-dee, o-dee, O (O-dee, o-dee, o-dee, O)
Mighty-ighty-ighty-I (Mighty-ighty-ighty-I)
O-dee, o-dee, o-dee, O (O-dee, o-dee, o-dee, O)
Mighty-ighty-ighty-I (Mighty-ighty-ighty-I)
O-dee, o-dee, o-dee, O (O-dee, o-dee, o-dee, O)
Mighty-ighty-ighty-I (Mighty-ighty-ighty-I)
O-dee, o-dee, o-dee, O (O-dee, o-dee, o-dee, O)
[Verse 1: André 3000]
You ain't a hater? Can't tell
Either wish me well, go to hell or go to Yale
Study human behavior so that you know who the hell
You dealin' with, ain't nutty but the study gon' unveil
My relative in jail, ha! Stay engaged
To whatever make money, now he married to that cage
Divorce is not an option and prenuptial is void
Eat up whatever rapper, but I'm tangled in my cord (Hum)
Bored, kind of like a knight with the sword
Without dragon to battle, so I'm running from a shadow
An impossible feat and I repeat
An impossible feat and I repeat
An impossible feat and I repeat!
The damsels in distress, but they a mess
They only like my armor, and that I'm a performer
They read one magazine and wanna think they getti'n warmer
They only gettin' colder, hell, maybe I should throw
A double diamond party in the North Pole
Invite all the writers and journalists
Even biters will tournament, to see who can be me
Better than me, it's a permanent, smile on my face
Because you said you don't like my style
But that's okay, but just make sure you don't touch that dial
And we'll be cool, touch it and you's a fool
Look, I'll get you hooked, y'all crooks might even move
To Atlanta, Georgia, get a wife and daughter
Start a new life, and all that wrong you do you'll make it right
But, hell, all a dream, I wear the crown, I'm king
Respect is mandatory, end of the story, go fly a kite
Category, ain't got none, you know I'm right
[Chorus: André 3000]
Mighty-ighty-ighty-I (Mighty-ighty-ighty-I)
O-dee, o-dee, o-dee, O (O-dee, o-dee, o-dee, O)
Mighty-ighty-ighty-I (Mighty-ighty-ighty-I)
O-dee, o-dee, o-dee, O (O-dee, o-dee, o-dee, O)
Mighty-ighty-ighty-I (Mighty-ighty-ighty-I)
O-dee, o-dee, o-dee, O (O-dee, o-dee, o-dee, O)
Mighty-ighty-ighty-I (Mighty-ighty-ighty-I)
O-dee, o-dee, o-dee, O (O-dee, o-dee, o-dee, O)
[Verse 2: Big Boi]
Congratulations, I'm a player
I thought you were one too, but now I hear you loud and clear
Subliminal, criminal minded nigga, so be aware
Black dog broke out the pits and told yo' ass it's 'bout to tear
Intended for anyone fillin' out this application
An estimate is needed for your underestimation
I'm firin' on the spot, go back and check your calculations
Like a sniper in the bushes with that rifle, I've been patiently waitin'
Now that's a virtue; 'cause pussy nigga, I'll hurt you
Like the president's approval rating by servin' yo' ass with words, fool
Slam yo' back to the curb, bruh, a sanitation worker
'Cause you're trash, I'm taking out the trash and all trash
Get mashed and compacted because it's no longer valid
Go 'head recycle, repackage then put it back in my cabinet
Boy, that's germs, I'm fresh up out the store every time
That nigga the B-I-G go hard every rhyme
Crowns all around, I'm right after Martin Luther
No JR period, senior, 'cause Bamboo is Antwan Junior
Dungeon Family and biological's intact
Talk bad about the fam, catch diabolical attack
No gats or no raps, you get slapped about that
As a matter of fact, not fiction, Rumpelstiltskin, you wack
Decipher words just like the Code of Da Vinci
Don't go against me, Caine, I want you to go out there
Kill them marks and come back, is you with me?
Mighty-ighty-ighty-ighty-ighty-ighty O
The worse thing since crack cocaine distributed to the poor
By the government, oh, I meant, don't nobody know
Conspiracy theory, you be the judge, nobody's slow
[Chorus: André 3000]
Mighty-ighty-ighty-I (Mighty-ighty-ighty-I)
O-dee, o-dee, o-dee, O (O-dee, o-dee, o-dee, O)
Mighty-ighty-ighty-I (Mighty-ighty-ighty-I)
O-dee, o-dee, o-dee, O (O-dee, o-dee, o-dee, O)
