B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)

So now we sittin' in a drop-top, soakin' wet In a silk suit, tryin' not to sweat Hit somersaults without the net But this'll be the year that we won't forget 1-9-9-9 Anno Domini, anything goes Be what you wanna be as long as you know Consequences are given for livin' The fence is too high to jump in jail Too low to dig, I might just touch hell—hot! Get a life, now they on sale Then I might cast you a spell Look at what came in the mail A scale and some Arm & Hammer Soul-gold grill and a baby mama Black Cadillac and a pack of Pampers Stack of questions with no answers Cure for cancer, cure for AIDS Make a nigga wanna stay on tour for days

Rhyme Scheme

High-velocity double-time 155 BPM flow shifting through short-e stops (/ɛt/), a long-I internal chain (/aɪ/), separated liquid mono-rhymes (/eɪl/ and /ɛl/), an internal /æk/ percussive cluster, a 5-bar dactylic short-a matrix ('Arm & Hammer' / 'baby mama' / 'pack of Pampers' / 'no answers' / 'cure for cancer'), and long-A resolutions.

Producer Notes

André 3000 delivers an explosive 155 BPM double-time flow, anchoring rigid monosyllabic plosives and liquid consonants (/eɪl/ and /ɛl/) before launching into fluid trochaic cadences. The rhythmic acceleration peaks during a iconic three-syllable dactylic assonance matrix ('Arm & Hammer' / 'baby mama' / 'pack of Pampers' / 'no answers' / 'cure for cancer') that seamlessly transitions terminal phonetic closures without breaking pocket velocity.
