Pink Matter (Remix) Lyrics

[Intro: Big Boi & Frank Ocean]
Remix
And the peaches and the mangos that you could sell for me

[Verse 1: Frank Ocean]
What do you think my brain is made for?
Is it just a container for the mind?
This great grey matter
Sensei replied, "What is your woman?
Is she just a container for the child?"
That soft pink matter
Cotton candy, Majin Buu, oh, oh, ohh
Close my eyes and fall into you, you, you
My God, she’s giving me pleasure
Oh, nah, nah

[Verse 2: Frank Ocean]
What if the sky and the stars are for show
And the aliens are watching live
From the purple matter?
Sensei went quiet, then violent
And we sparred until we both grew tired
Nothing mattered
Cotton candy, Majin Buu, oh, oh, oh, oh
Dim the lights and fall into you, you, you
My God, giving me pleasure, pleasure
Pleasure, pleasure, pleasure over matter
[Verse 3: Big Boi & Andre 3000]
(Hey, hey) Yeah
Doesn't matter if she wanna be with me, so it's cool
I make her call me B.B. King because I give her the blues
But not on purpose though, she was the perfect ho-stess
When I come over, we would do the grossest
Most beautiful-est things on a bed of roses
Would be the coldest when you hit the hardwood floor
We sippin' 'Gnac, not mimosas
She's in my naked lap, goin' HAM like she supposed to
And she could make it clap if I told her
Or make her ass spread like the back of a cobra
Standin' at attention like a soldier
A G.I. Joe, man, see, me, I go in (Ask a bitch, nigga)
Yeah, that nigga goes up in it
Like smoke through a chimney (Hey, hey)
Slow stroke, 'cause she feelin' me up in her, nigga
Killin' me softly, raw dog, she wants me
Strong and black like her coffee, get off me
Act a donkey, I pin her tail to the mattress
I've been a player, make her go from classy to nasty
Nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty (Ha, ha, ha)
To sloosh (Hey, hey)

[Verse 4: André 3000]
Since you been gone, I been having withdrawals
You were such a habit to call
I ain't myself at all, had to tell myself, "Naw
She better with some fella with a regular job"
I didn't wanna get her involved
By dinner, Mr. Benjamin was sitting in awe
Hops into my car, drove far
Far’s too close and I remember my memory's no sharp
Butterknife, what a life, anyway
I'm building y'all a clock, stop, what am I, Hemingway?
She had the kind of body that would probably intimidate
Any of 'em that were un-southern, not me, cousin
If models are made for modelin', thick girls are made for cuddlin'
Switch worlds and we can huddle then
Who needs another friend? I need to hold your hand
You'd need no other man, we'd flee to other lands
[Bridge: Frank Ocean]
Grey matter
Blue used to be my favorite color
Now I ain't got no choice
Blue matter

[Outro: André 3000]
You're good at being bad (Yep)
You're bad at being good (Oh)
For Heaven's sakes, go to Hell
Kno-, knock on wood, hey
You're good at being bad (You're bad at being good)
You're bad at being good
(For Heaven's sakes, go to Hell, knock on wood)
For Heaven's sakes, go to Hell
Knock, knock, knock, knock on wood
Well frankly when that ocean so muh'fuckin' good
Make her swab the muh'fuckin' wood
Make her walk the muh'fuckin' plank
Make her rob a muh'fuckin' bank
With no mask on and a rusty revolver

About

Genius Annotation

Frank Ocean originally wanted both André 3000 and Big Boi as featured artists on his song “Pink Matter,” off his debut album channel ORANGE.

However, Three Stacks didn’t want an Outkast reunion on another artist’s album, and thus only he appeared on the song.

Nonetheless, Big Boi went ahead and added his own verse to this remix of the song, bringing Outkast together for the first time in several years.

He has also confirmed a similar reunion-remix for T.I.’s song “Sorry”, which also has Dre as a featured artist.

What did Frank Ocean say about "Pink Matter (Remix)"?
Genius Answer

Andre 3000 was very clear on the song not being an OutKast reunion. In an official statement to SPIN, Mr. Benjamin explained the circumstances:

“I was approached as a solo artist by both Frank Ocean & Tip. I discussed musical direction with each artist and completed my verses. It was after that when Big Boi’s name came up.

I never want to mislead our audience – I worried that some would think these were Outkast collaborations. These songs are not Outkast collaborations. I discussed this rationale with Big, Frank…and everyone agreed. That is why I was surprised to read about these remixes.

I understand that anyone can put out an unofficial remix to any song but I have an obligation to be honest with fans about what this is … and what it isn’t.”
