I love how as soon as Andre 3000 started going off Murphy and Albarn immediately recognized that their one mission right now was to keep this man talking for as long as possible
I feel like everyone in the studio knew the Converse executives wouldn't bother listening past the first few minutes and spent the rest of the track taking the piss out of them.

For 5 years, this was the last ever Gorillaz song. Imagine the fans back before Humanz was first being teased having this masterpiece as their last example of what Gorillaz sounded like.
now I understand why ppl didn't like Humanz. I'm going to be real- as someone who got into this fandom around sound machine, I actually like Humanz a decent amount. But if you compare its sound to this... Well, I suddenly understand the fandom's perspective on Humanz. Humanz is pretty good, but it isn't this.
I remember when this song came out. This was after the peak of my gorillaz obsession because the band disbanded around 2010. This song released in 2012 or 2013 and it was alongside a Gorillaz Shoe that was made by Converse (Hence why everyone is wearing High Tops in the photo.) So they really left a lot to look foward to and then we didn't hear anything until around 2015/16.
@@RadioJosiah I think he probably moved away to get something while they were still recording and wanted to show off that he could actually do that and keep rapping after... Wich neat flex imo.
andre said in an interview that when he said that line he actually walked out the vocal booth to the control room with the mic in his hand and started running around the studio lmao
during the the whole "I'm the shit section" 2-D is standing there awkwardly scratching his wrist and staring at the ground. "are we done yet mate? No? oh-okay..."
Nah he's used to it, Murdoc probably does this after every recording, it's just not musical enough to actually include because he can't sing or rap properly.
@@theplaguedoctor142 Yea, this sounds like at some point Andre's head started doing The Exorcist thing and 2-D was just stuck praying to make it out of the booth alive.
Gorillaz, Andre 3000, James Murphy! These artists were hired to make the perfect converse commercial song! But Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredient! "I'm the shit!"
I can only imagine how the conversation went when they were first recording this song "so we have the original song that's 4 minutes long right" "yeah" "can we just add an extra 9 minutes of me yelling 'IM THE SHIT' over and over again" ... _"hell yeah"_
I love how the first 4 minutes of this, that got turned into a music video, is a very good, more palatable mainstream hip-hop song but the rest of it that didn't get turned into a music video, is a nightmarish, experimental song of Andre 3000 having an intense mental breakdown over an increasingly hellish synth drone, this is a trip to hell masquerading as a mainstream hip hop song
I can just imagine them finishing the 4-minute version and being like "Yeah, this sounds pretty good!" and then Andre just started yelling "I'M THE SHIT" into the mic over and over. And then they made that a selling point for the record.
I like to imagine that the last 9 minutes are just Andre having a complete, unscripted breakdown on stage and the rest of the band just sorta play along with it because they don't know what else to do
That’s more or less what happened. How sick is that? I don’t know of any other songs where Andre was allowed to just fire off like that. It sounds amazing
i love that andre's first verse is a really fucking good rap, crazy flow and tons of great rhymes, and then he just follows that up with I'm The Shit for like 10 minutes
It's not a stretch to say that this 13-minute cut of this song is nothing short of an absolute exorcism of ego. Andre 3000 screaming "I'm the shit!" until he's fucking *red in the face* to the point where the confident facade has worn off and there's nothing left but his insecurities. This song is a masterpiece.
Fun Fact: Damon Albarn (2D) completely Ad-Libbed the entire song. Which means, he came up with the lyrics as the song went on. Literally INSANE. Another fun fact: the entire 2nd half was improvised because Andre kept going, so Damon and the rest of the group kept going with him. This just became my all time favorite gorillaz song (even tho it’s not their song.)
it was a freestyle session considering Andre was just running around the control room and vocal booth at the later parts and I can imagine how hilarious that looks running around while saying lyrics like "I'm the shit" and "I run away from the mic"
I like how this song starts out at a steady pace, escalates into what I can only describe as a nervous breakdown, and just kind of putters out like coming down from a high.
*André 3000 is the only rapper to ever successfully do the “I’m the shit” verse without backing himself into a corner of comparing himself to literal shit.*

I like how none of the three artists sacrifice their creative traits, even when they’re not in their normal environment. James Murphy still made a long-winded cacophony of sounds, Damon Albarn still made a production hellscape, and André proved that he’s still great with freestyling. It’s honestly impressive.
@@thunderslug1066 this is a fact. After this song Outkast and LCD broke up (which Andre and James Murphy were part of respectively) and Gorillaz went on Hiatus.
@@arkarmz589 (Not planning to kill the joke, I just want to give some information) I'm pretty sure most of the synths are made by James, especially the ''aggresive'' ones that you can hear in the ''I'm the shit'' part (they sound like ''Yeah'' by LCD Soundsystem/ James' band). Also, I may be wrong, but I feel like he's the one who's doing the background voices, the ''Oooohh'' that you can hear before the ''I'm the shit'' part starts, and in the end, when the song turns dark and sort of depressive. I'm aware that the song carries Gorillaz' name, and the music video takes place in their world, but I feel that a lot of people praise Gorillaz/Damon and the Music video and Andre's rap, but they kinda forget that James is an important part of the song.
@@gsn7625 No yeah most of the synth work is done by james murphy considering its is place of expertise, you can hear a huge amount of influence, and in isolation it sounds like a mixture between his songs from LCD sound system like call the police and gorillaz work on plastic beach, which would make sense for when this came out.
So one of my siblings was playing Assassins Creed: Odyssey during, Spoilers: Phoibe's death scene, and I was playing this in the background. So during this emotional scene, Andre 3000 was just screaming "I'M THE SHIT" the whole time. It was pretty great
This is probably one of the best motivational songs ever made. Whenever I'm down, feeling insignificant, I play this and sing along, scream along, just yell it out there and it's like a mental reset button.
Man, listening to this after years of knowing the original version is like finding out you've been missing a sense your whole life and nobody thought to tell you
imagine what the music video would be like if it went on for the whole 13 minutes I’m just imagining Andre chasing around Murdoc and 2D while singing the rest of the song like he’s a home intruder
+Suman Roy That freaked me out when I realized that because I had seen the image so many times before noticing it guess it just proves how much people pay attention to the shoes people have.

now I understand why ppl didn't like Humanz. I'm going to be real- as someone who got into this fandom around sound machine, I actually like Humanz a decent amount. But if you compare its sound to this... Well, I suddenly understand the fandom's perspective on Humanz. Humanz is pretty good, but it isn't this.
I remember when this song came out. This was after the peak of my gorillaz obsession because the band disbanded around 2010. This song released in 2012 or 2013 and it was alongside a Gorillaz Shoe that was made by Converse (Hence why everyone is wearing High Tops in the photo.) So they really left a lot to look foward to and then we didn't hear anything until around 2015/16.
i don't have to imagine i lived that era 😭
@@Kmi_Sama Don't feel sad about it, you survived that drought of info after all
Andre 3000 did his entire verse in one take.
With that information I want you to focus on everytime he takes a breath in his part.
that's absolutely insane
Oh, it's Andre 3000 because he inhales 3,000 times
Does that include the "I'm the shit" part?
@@LocalHolehead Yes.
Holy shit.....
If you wanna hear Andre slowly go insane this is for you.
snipingtacos12 bruh 😝
snipingtacos12 that was not slowly XD
IM THE SHIT
Slowly?
he wasn't already? ;P
What a nice song sponsored by converse we have here, surely Andre 3000 won’t lose his fucking mind halfway through

For a song to sponsor shoes. Andre really puts his whole soul into that nervous breakdown freestyle
Mmmmmm, perhaps converse ARE the shit
Wait this sponcer shoes?
😂
@@Judybooty1243this song was a sponsor for a gorillaz themed line of converse shoes
shoes was that good
The song was never meant to be 13 mins but Andre 3000 just kept going so they just added so that's where we got the 13 min version
Wait, really?
@@benfos8109 yea man
And it's amazing 😂
Heh, reminds me of this line...
"That song doesn't usually last 3 hours, but we got into a serious thing...and then I forgot how it ended."
Damn
There's a song by Gorillaz that's longer than an episode of spongebob and I don't know what to do with that information
Ben Sweetser Well, the obvious course of action is to watch a random episode of Spongebob while playing this in the background.
Should be interesting
13 minutes ain't shit. I think there's a Jethro Tull song that's like 45 minutes.
Mantorok Longest song I've fully listened to us Bring the Sun/Toussaint Louverture. 34 minutes iirc
Longest ive listened to s either William Basinski's Watermusic ii or dopesmoker's sleep, both over an hour
There's this one song that's 3 hours long that I listened to once
There's no way james murphy worked on thi-
*there's a 13 minute jam version*
oh there's james murphy
Kittyhat battleblock theater btw
Aiden Blake the dudes profile picture is from a game called battleblock theater
Well the 13 minute version is just Andre screaming
@@Pootisbird01 James is the producer, this sounds a lot like his other material from LCD Soundsystem, that's what he was getting at I think
This does sound a lot like an LCD Soundsystem song, of course with Andre 3000 going insane, so idk really
10:23 why is no one talking about
*_when you the mayonnaise and the mustard you can’t relish in it_*
that part sent me
The other 2/3 of the song are andre 300 having a mental breakdown, but it sounds good
BECAUSE IT SOUND EXCELLENT TO ME
Andre 300 because he lost 2,700 of his braincells making this song. I bet he had fun tho
@@capn_l did it in one take apparently.

6:45 Andre says "Can't even walk away from the mic" with 6 more minutes left on the track
Notice that gap right before that line? Pretty sure he says he CAN even walk away from the mic.... BECAUSE HE JUST DID.
@@RadioJosiah I think he probably moved away to get something while they were still recording and wanted to show off that he could actually do that and keep rapping after... Wich neat flex imo.
andre said in an interview that when he said that line he actually walked out the vocal booth to the control room with the mic in his hand and started running around the studio lmao

gives me chills every time
6:59 !!
I read your comment just as it happened
I luv Andre 3000
Converse: “So we just need a quick little song, about 3 minutes to sell our snea-“
André 3000: “13 minutes? I’m on it.”
IM THE SHIT
@@NYPDWeatherman I’m the SHI-
IM THE MOTHERFUCKIN SHIT!!
"Alright Mr. 3000 this is a song about some Converse snea-"
" *AHHHHHHHHHHHHH It'S aLl aBouT mE i'M tHe SHiT* "
FAX
Just to clarify, the word "shit" is used 69 times in this song. That's right, 69 times.
:I
reminds me of Nicki Minaj song that always said "Nigga"
Ryan Duffy i missed 5, only counted 64
69 am I right?
nice
Nice
during the the whole "I'm the shit section" 2-D is standing there awkwardly scratching his wrist and staring at the ground.
"are we done yet mate? No? oh-okay..."
He probably just had his back turned and started checking out his cell phone
Nah he's used to it, Murdoc probably does this after every recording, it's just not musical enough to actually include because he can't sing or rap properly.
More like cowering in the corner as Andre exploded
@@theplaguedoctor142 Yea, this sounds like at some point Andre's head started doing The Exorcist thing and 2-D was just stuck praying to make it out of the booth alive.
Everybody is in the same shoes
The first 4 minutes are just the intro to the real song.
Kinda like Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd or Starless by King Crimson.
@@DeviemTwen Starless spotted + respect
I think 4:30 is what 2-D meant by Noodle's guitar sounding like '200 demons screaming in Arabic'.
makes sense
Paladin Luke and it’s the shit
Paladin Luke yeah sounds about right
true
It was actually sampled from daft punk
Do Ya Thing but everytime Andre says "im the shit" it gets faster
*Total time* : 0:01
Then it'd be as long as half an EP.
It’s 6 minutes long
Do ya thing but every word it gets faster
m.th-cam.com/video/bgPGjK_DpkY/w-d-xo.html
I didn't quite catch that, Andre. What did you say you were?
i think he said he's the shit but i'm not quite sure, might have to listen to the whole song again
André:

*S H I T*
I embody le feces

Lmao
Gorillaz, Andre 3000, James Murphy! These artists were hired to make the perfect converse commercial song! But Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredient! "I'm the shit!"
and thus, DoYaThing was born!
Man, noodle and Russell changed...
Yeah, noodle got really green
Dibwitzle russel looks the same
Shut up woosh didn't work like that.
Mode7 LMAO
Man Russell got ripped. I think noodle forgot to shave...
when I heard this song
I thought the extra 10 minites were "do ya damn thing, do ya thing, ya thing"
I got a mental breakdown instead
Also, I wish the song had ended with Andre, once again, whispering: _"I'm the shit."_

Sh!t this coment is to real
This. 100% this.
I love how the first 4 minutes of this, that got turned into a music video, is a very good, more palatable mainstream hip-hop song but the rest of it that didn't get turned into a music video, is a nightmarish, experimental song of Andre 3000 having an intense mental breakdown over an increasingly hellish synth drone, this is a trip to hell masquerading as a mainstream hip hop song
yo wtf
Why did you turn guts into a girl
@@fobo3361 because it's Lord Blue Balls, like, duh.
Lord Blue Balls EX someone loves fantano
Sorry I don’t speak Italian
I can just imagine them finishing the 4-minute version and being like "Yeah, this sounds pretty good!" and then Andre just started yelling "I'M THE SHIT" into the mic over and over. And then they made that a selling point for the record.
+Bonnie Another FnaF fuckboy, I see them everywhere.
Bonnie who the hell says rad these days?
+Bonnie That's exactly what happened.
+DERPAKUS i agree FNaF is a gay-ass game but dont be a dick about it
+Bonnie Yeah, they should be.
I like to imagine that the last 9 minutes are just Andre having a complete, unscripted breakdown on stage and the rest of the band just sorta play along with it because they don't know what else to do
That's genuinely what happened tho, damon albarn just kept going with it and andre just kept going
@@oisind3593 W h a t
That’s more or less what happened. How sick is that? I don’t know of any other songs where Andre was allowed to just fire off like that. It sounds amazing
Gave a like to even out the number but i agree
i mean thats what happened but in the studio instead of on stage
i love that andre's first verse is a really fucking good rap, crazy flow and tons of great rhymes, and then he just follows that up with I'm The Shit for like 10 minutes
Converse: we need a song promoting our product
gorillaz: hold my beer.
S.C. Wood *hold my peppermint tea*
Nah it would be
Gorillaz : hold my mic
Hold my white light
I still have my Gorillaz converse, still wear them
Andre 3000: *Hold my shit*
It's not a stretch to say that this 13-minute cut of this song is nothing short of an absolute exorcism of ego. Andre 3000 screaming "I'm the shit!" until he's fucking *red in the face* to the point where the confident facade has worn off and there's nothing left but his insecurities.
This song is a masterpiece.
7:37 "I don't even sweat"

Fun Fact: Damon Albarn (2D) completely Ad-Libbed the entire song. Which means, he came up with the lyrics as the song went on. Literally INSANE.
Another fun fact: the entire 2nd half was improvised because Andre kept going, so Damon and the rest of the group kept going with him.
This just became my all time favorite gorillaz song (even tho it’s not their song.)
Say sike right now
it was a freestyle session considering Andre was just running around the control room and vocal booth at the later parts and I can imagine how hilarious that looks running around while saying lyrics like "I'm the shit" and "I run away from the mic"

Lyrics:
[Verse 1: 2D]
I'm a pale imitator of a boy in the sky
With a cap in his head, and a knot in his tie
I'm the light in the mall when the power is gone
A shadow in a corner, just playin' along!
I'm gonna lay in my bed, I'm rolling aside
But if a get a car, uh, I'm hoping to ride
Because I know if I ever say, "I'm leaving." to you
You've got a folding chair and you don't know what to do!
You'd stop
[Chorus: James Murphy]
You wanna do it, but you don't know what you doing, baby, aah
You wanna feel it, but you don't know what you're feeling tonight (Oh, hey, how will we do it?)
And if you're thinking that I don't know what you're thinking, baby, aah
You go on thinking and you gonna make it alright!
(Oh, hey, how will you do?)
[Verse 2: 2D]
I'm impregnable, incredible, and set in the quo
I'm a late in my ride, and not a heart in soul
I got Saturday night, enough been said
And if I ever had to do it
Well, you know I wouldn't care
I'd just get down, I loving the feat
And if I wanna talk back, the message is free
Then there's a fire, a ray, and out in the sun
And if you can’t partake, you get ‘em alive
You get a heartbreak
[Chorus: James Murphy]
You wanna do it, but you don't know what you doing, baby, aah
You wanna feel it, but you don't know what you're feeling tonight (Oh, hey, how will we do it?)
And if you're thinking that I don't know what you're thinking, baby, aah
You go on thinking and you gonna make it alright!
(Oh, hey, how will you do?)
[Post-Chorus: Andre 3000]
Every time we try, we get nowhere
Wouldn't it be nice if we were just normal people? Yeah
Trying so hard to act like we don't care
But it's true you do, nothing is left so I guess I'm right
[Verse 3: André 3000]
New word - onomatopoeia
Boom! Quit acting like you don't wanna be here
Fuck around and get jumped like leap year
Glock in the glove make you really wanna leave me alone
Get the fuck on, gone
Okay, okay, okay, back to the happy song
Rap ain't nothing but the art of talking shit
My girl look pretty up there, round, thick
My plaid pants, my solid future
Asinine ass and a gorgeous coocher
I'm an outcast but you're into me
Summer got mad cause winter blew me
That juicy fruit, that splooshy sploosh
Generation X on bloopty bloop
Get doop, gotta get doopty doop
Everybody hit the floor, we through the roof
Like a chimney, I commend me
How come it be some lame ass nigga talking about, "Ah, he don't rap enough?"
But y'all rap a lot, and I'm like wrap it up, ho
We ain't Scarface, we ain't Willie D
We ain't Bushwick, ye ain't killin' me
Better play with your motherfucking mama
Bet you still stay with your motherfucking mama
Keep sleeping on me, I'mma rock my pajamas
In the daytime, I swear, I promise
Dare a nigga "say something" tear a nigga face off
How come blacks don't play baseball?
Y'all white, know y'all can taste all
This fly shit I stay finna take off

Wouldn't it be nice if we were just normal people? Yeah
Trying so hard to act like we don't care, I don't care
But it's true you do, nothing is left, so I guess I'm right

Thank you
Someone has finally done it, too bad this is a little far down in the comments.
yall know they turned on subtitles with proper lyrics right?
you are a god
Or turn on the subtitles...
Imagine recording all of this with Andre then after he ends his part he goes "Yo when we startin' to record man !? I'm done warming up."
I wouldn’t mind an over 20 minute long Do Ya Thing
if that was a warmup they'd be able to do an entire album
I like how none of the three artists sacrifice their creative traits, even when they’re not in their normal environment. James Murphy still made a long-winded cacophony of sounds, Damon Albarn still made a production hellscape, and André proved that he’s still great with freestyling. It’s honestly impressive.
That’s gonna happen when you give the artists freedom
And then all of the bands died!
@@thunderslug1066 this is a fact. After this song Outkast and LCD broke up (which Andre and James Murphy were part of respectively) and Gorillaz went on Hiatus.
@@LucyWest370 nah it aint
@@kianoneill130 he's somewhat right but hiatus isn't the death of a band tho tbf
I feel like not enough people are appreciating the art shown here, really brings out the personality of all of them, ESPECIALLY 2D and Andre.
Agreed
Give some credit to james murphy aswell, he's basically kill it on the production.
I’m the shit - By: Andre 3000
Oh yeah and Gorillaz we forgot
Nick Whittle and James Murphy......for like 20 seconds
@@arkarmz589 (Not planning to kill the joke, I just want to give some information) I'm pretty sure most of the synths are made by James, especially the ''aggresive'' ones that you can hear in the ''I'm the shit'' part (they sound like ''Yeah'' by LCD Soundsystem/ James' band). Also, I may be wrong, but I feel like he's the one who's doing the background voices, the ''Oooohh'' that you can hear before the ''I'm the shit'' part starts, and in the end, when the song turns dark and sort of depressive. I'm aware that the song carries Gorillaz' name, and the music video takes place in their world, but I feel that a lot of people praise Gorillaz/Damon and the Music video and Andre's rap, but they kinda forget that James is an important part of the song.
@@gsn7625 No yeah most of the synth work is done by james murphy considering its is place of expertise, you can hear a huge amount of influence, and in isolation it sounds like a mixture between his songs from LCD sound system like call the police and gorillaz work on plastic beach, which would make sense for when this came out.
"I don't know why, but I'm the shit!" Surprisingly profound line for that section of the song lol.
Bruh my middle name is James

_imagine a censored version of the "im the shit" part_
*"I'M THE-"*
silence
A censored version of DoYaThing but every time Andre says shit it's replaced by Murdoc noises instead of the usual bleep
BBEP BEEP N bepbedpebeoepevpebepeBEPEVEPEBERP
Flying Stapler the only acceptable way of censoring a gorillaz song
This is the epitome of when everyone does their bit in a group project
sooooooo just to clarify, this extended version is just andre 3000 calling himself the shit for 8 minutes
Sometimes he says he's the shit, sometimes he says he feels like he's shit.
there's a difference in being the shit an feeling like shit
there's a difference between calling himself the shit and actually being the shit
A better love story than 50 Shades Of Grey.
It's as showcasing a bipolar side of him because he thinks he is shit and then thinking he is actually shit.
The word shit is said exactly 69 times in this song.

So one of my siblings was playing Assassins Creed: Odyssey during, Spoilers: Phoibe's death scene, and I was playing this in the background. So during this emotional scene, Andre 3000 was just screaming "I'M THE SHIT" the whole time. It was pretty great
Mr. Fahrenheit nice
i want this comment framed and put on my wall please
@@addiepisz Take a screenshot. Print it out. Get a frame with the right dimensions. Live out your dreams.
@Hund yes… i will live out my dreams. in fact, it will become a legacy.
@@addiepisz yo you done it yet?
This is probably one of the best motivational songs ever made. Whenever I'm down, feeling insignificant, I play this and sing along, scream along, just yell it out there and it's like a mental reset button.
It works very well lol. The energy of this is lethal lol
exactly!!
Man, listening to this after years of knowing the original version is like finding out you've been missing a sense your whole life and nobody thought to tell you
Is it because you are deaf
That might be why no one told you

+WeAreTheInsurgents that he said I'm the shit?
I smell of fish
I smell of fish

I'll say it: The full version of this song is way better than the condensed single version.
You did not just say that
layton marr But he did
oh sheeeeet
TheEpik3YearOld typed it to be precise
I guess you could say the full version is the shit.
imagine what the music video would be like if it went on for the whole 13 minutes
I’m just imagining Andre chasing around Murdoc and 2D while singing the rest of the song
like he’s a home intruder
james murphy is just playing the synth and watching in horror
“IM THE SHIT! IM THE SHIT”
Murdoc and 2d screaming and running
thatd be so funny 😭😭
i think this song as a kid conditioned me to connect fully with lcd soundsystem's music as a young adult
@Name Face bruh stop spamming
I like how everyone just gives all the credit to Damon and Andre when James also helped and did amazing
It's because most people who listen to Gorillaz have no idea how fantastic James Murphy / LCD Soundsystem is.
@@DaFishmonger I'd say there's def some gorillaz fans into murphy. That man is great
I could literally listen to Andre 3000 scream I'm the shit for forever ever.
Shit, I guess you're right!
Well, that's good; cuz now you got 8 whole uninterrupted minutes of it. Enjoy, buddy.
I FINALLY LISTENED TO ALL OF IT AFTER LIKE YEARS BC I DIDN'T WANNA FINISH IT AS A KID
whyy???
You weakling I listen to the full version almost every morning on loop
bruh same,,,,this my first time listening to all of it
@@danieloctavioespinosaortiz191 probably too long for him
Sameee lmfao I was too lazy
André: "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH I'M THE SHIIIIIIIIIT!!!!"
9:23 : "i don't even have to scream.. "
its so funny
Andre 3000's lungs must be dead for weeks after that
If Gorillaz are making a new album please oh please make another song with Andre it would be so amazing
It would be the shit
+wispina ... the shit, the shit, the shit.
ikr
today's your lucky day
The song would be called "I'm the shit! - 30 minutes edition"
Did anyone else notice that the splash image has four people sharing five shoes?
Oh shoot
maybe it's a reference to gorillaz 2001 5/4
+Suman Roy That freaked me out when I realized that because I had seen the image so many times before noticing it guess it just proves how much people pay attention to the shoes people have.
+Daniel Edwards It was in music video
+Suman Roy I came down here looking if anyone else noticed. XD
I like how the more Andre says "I'm the shit!" He sound like he's about cry. He's sounds really defensive about him being "the shit."
I've been sleeping on Andre 3000, his flow is such a vibe.
*LYRICS*
[Verse 1: 2D]
I'm a pale imitator of a boy in the sky
With a cap in his head, and a knot in his tie
I'm the light in the mall when the power is gone
A shadow in a corner, just playin' along!
I'm gonna lay in my bed, I'm rolling aside
But if a get a car, uh, I'm hoping to ride
Because I know if I ever say, "I'm leaving." to you
You've got a folding chair and you don't know what to do!
You'd stop
[Chorus: James Murphy]
You wanna do it, but you don't know what you doing, baby, aah
You wanna feel it, but you don't know what you're feeling tonight (Oh, hey, how will we do it?)
And if you're thinking that I don't know what you're thinking, baby, aah
You go on thinking and you gonna make it alright!
(Oh, hey, how will you do?)
[Verse 2: 2D]
I'm impregnable, incredible, and set in the quo
I'm a late in my ride, and not a heart in soul
I got Saturday night, enough been said
And if I ever had to do it
Well, you know I wouldn't care
I'd just get down, I loving the feat
And if I wanna talk back, the message is free
Then there's a fire, a ray, and out in the sun
And if you can’t partake, you get ‘em alive
You get a heartbreak
[Chorus: James Murphy]
You wanna do it, but you don't know what you doing, baby, aah
You wanna feel it, but you don't know what you're feeling tonight (Oh, hey, how will we do it?)
And if you're thinking that I don't know what you're thinking, baby, aah
You go on thinking and you gonna make it alright!
(Oh, hey, how will you do?)
[Post-Chorus: Andre 3000]
Every time we try, we get nowhere
Wouldn't it be nice if we were just normal people? Yeah
Trying so hard to act like we don't care
But it's true you do, nothing is left so I guess I'm right
[Verse 3: André 3000]
New word - onomatopoeia
Boom! Quit acting like you don't wanna be here
Fuck around and get jumped like leap year
Glock in the glove make you really wanna leave me alone
Get the fuck on, gone
Okay, okay, okay, back to the happy song
Rap ain't nothing but the art of talking shit
My girl look pretty up there, round, thick
My plaid pants, my solid future
Asinine ass and a gorgeous coochie
I'm an outcast but you're into me
Summer got mad cause winter blew me
That juicy fruit, that splooshy sploosh
Generation X on bloopty bloop
Get doop, gotta get doopty doop
Everybody hit the floor, we through the roof
Like a chimney, I commend me
How come it be some lame ass nigga talking about, "Ah, he don't rap enough?"
But y'all rap a lot, and I'm like wrap it up, ho
We ain't Scarface, we ain't Willie D
We ain't Bushwick, ye ain't killin' me
Better play with your motherfucking mama
Bet you still stay with your motherfucking mama
Keep sleeping on me, I'mma rock my pajamas
In the daytime, I swear, I promise
Dare a nigga "say something" tear a nigga face off
How come blacks don't play baseball?
Y'all white, know y'all can taste all
This fly shit I stay finna take off
[Refrain: André 3000]
Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
Yee ain't fresh squeezed juice, nigga you that Tang
Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
Wait, you really Slick Rick? Nope, you Dana Dane
[Verse 4: André 3000]
Uh, let it up, head erupts
A lava language and the vocal volcanic (Yeah)
If it ain't fixed don't broke it, don't panic (Yeah)
If it ain't hits, it ain't shit, God dammit (Yeah)
If it ain't this, it ain't dope, it don't flush
And if it ain't hip or don't hop, well then hush
"Man they sound like…"
"Man they stole yo…"
"Man they look like…"
Nope, it ain't us
[Refrain: André 3000]
Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
Is you really Slick Rick? Nope, you Dana Dane
Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
Yee ain't fresh squeezed juice, nigga you that Tang
[Bridge: André 3000]
Every time we try, we get nowhere
Wouldn't it be nice if we were just normal people? Yeah
Trying so hard to act like we don't care, I don't care
But it's true you do, nothing is left, so I guess I'm right
Flip the page, our days are revelations, hide!
Space is strange, doctor, I've got no patience!
Oh, it's all a part of the process
Okay, okay
Nothin's new, it's true, cool, I admit, shit, I guess you're right!
[Outro: André 3000]
I even mumble I'm the shit
Need mumble, I can mumble
I can mumble that I'm the shit
I'm the shit!

Yeah, I'm the shit!
Ha, I'm the shit!
I know it sound good to you!
Cause it sound excellent to me!
I'm the shit, yeah!
Yeah, I'm the shit!

I do it cause I'm the shit
I'm never on the fence!
Ah! I'm never on the fence!
Yeah! I'm the shit!
Yeah! I'm the shit!
Yeah!
I could even take keys on y'all!
I can even make it a hundred degrees on y'all, I'm the shit!
Yeah, yeah! I'm the shit!
Ah, I'm the shit!
Mumble cause I'm the shit
Yeah, I can mumble cause I'm the shit, I can mumble
I don't have to say shit cause I'm the shit
I don't have to say a goddamn thing cause I'm the motherfucking shit
And you know it!
I'm the shit!
Say it wit' me!
I'm the shit
Sometimes I feel like the shit
Sometimes I feel like the shit, sometimes I feel like I'm shit
Sometimes I wanna stand for somethin', then sometimes wanna sit
I didn't really plan on cussin', but sometime it just slip
Ah! I'm the shit!
I'm the shit!
Yeah, I'm the shit!
Ah! I'm the shit!
Yeah! I'm the shit!
Ahh, yeah! I'm the shit!
I know it sound good to you
'Cause it sound good to meeeeee
I'm the shit!
Yeah, yeah, I'm the shit!
You need to walk away from the mic
'Cause I'm the shit! I did it tonight
I'm the shit! Yeah, I do it riiiight
I'm the shit! I don't even have to sing in key
Ohhh! It's all about me! I'm the shit!
I'm crawling back to the mic! I'm the shit!
I could do this shit all night! I'm the shit!
I could do it in the day, I'm the shit!
I could do it any way, I'm the shit!
Yeah, I'm the shit!
That's it
Yeah, I can say it
Now I can say it, don't you see it?
I don't even sweat!
Ah! I'm the shit!

I said I'm the shit!
It might sound good to you
It sound excellent to me
Fuck! I'm the shit!
I'm the shit!
I take a piss cause I'm the shit!
I can fart on it, I'm the shit!
I get smart on it, I'm the shit!
I get dumb on it, I'm the shit!
I make her crumb on it, I'm the shit!
The sum of it; I'm the shit!
The sun love me, I'm the shit!
The moon is jealous of me!
The sun is jealous of me!
The rain is jealous of me!
EVERYTHING IS JEALOUS OF ME!
I'm THE SHIT!
I'm THE SHIT!
I'm THE SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAHHHH
AHHHHH-AH-AH-AH-AH, AH-AH-AH-AH, AH-AH-AH-AH
You can't have a piece of my pie! I'm the shit!
I'm that guy! I'm the shit!
I don't know why! But I'm the shit!
Yeah, I'm the shit
Don't even have to scream
I don't even have to dream
I'm the shit, I make you cream
Cause I'm the shit
Yeahhh, I'm the shit
When I stand up, everybody sit, I'm the shit
Asshole
Sometime I feel like the shit, sometime I feel like I'm shit
Sometime I wanna stand for somethin', then sometime wanna sit
Didn't really plan on cussin', but sometime it just slip
When you the mayonnaise and the mustard, you can't relish in it
And when them panties turn to custard, who the hell do they miss?
And when the nanny fucks the husband, what does she tell the kids?
That's a whole 'nother discussion, we can't fit in our kicks
That's a whole 'nother discussion, you can't fit in these kicks
Yeah
The way I feel tonight, I think I'll wear these shades
For the rest of my life
Yeah
Yeah
The way I feel tonight, I think I'll wear these shades for the rest of my life
The way I feel tonight, I think I'm-a wear these shades for the rest of my life
That way, you won't be able to see the disappointment in my eyes
Cause they don't lie (don't lie), not to my eyes (not to my eyes, not to my eyes)
Nah, they don't lie (don't lie), not to my eyes, (not to my eyes…) un-un
(They don't lie, they don't lie)
(Not to my eyes, not to my eyes)
(Not to my eyes, not to my eyes)
(Not to my eyes, not to my eyes)
You're welcome bois.

Longest outro I have ever seen
I just can’t find any music, not even another Gorillaz song, that does what this song does for me it’s so energetic
Bombs Over Baghdad has the same effect imo. Andre's energy is unmatched.
OutKast: B.O.B, Humble Mumble, Luv Deez Hoez, Xplosion, Gasoline Dreams
The only other song I’ve ever heard that gets me close to this hype is inanimate sensation by death grips, but that song doesn’t have Andre 3000 screaming about how he’s the shit so idk
If you want something like that try oh shit I'm feeling it
you gotta listen to more music bro
So we just gonna ignore the fact there's only 5 shoes
yEs
Underrated comment
I deadass thought there were six-
Yes
alex *spits out peppermint tea* WHAT
If this did end up being there last song I couldn’t think of a better one to end on
Has anyone else noticed how unusually short 2D is in this artwork?
Murdoc had him photoshopped shorter due to his height insecurity obviously
Murdoc cut off a quarter of his legs because he didn’t want to go through with the rest of the song.
I was thinking that i was like wheres the rest of his legs
He needs more leg
@MeiGoat that’s surprisingly wholesome
