DescriptionNathaniel was OutKast associate Mr. DJ’s high school classmate who was in jail and called Big Boi collect to talk about his experience. Big Boi decided to record it and put it on the album. Nathaniel said the following about his verse:

The idea really came from UGK’s Ridin' Dirty, when buddy’s talking from jail. They really wanted me to do something like that. But see, I was trying to be a rapper, so I put a rap to it instead of just talking. I did it in one night. I talked to Big on Sunday, and I came back and called him collect on Monday and history was made.
Lyrics[Intro: Nathaniel]
Shit man
Nigga gotta go on and god damn
Get the shit straight when I god damn get out
Well shit
This what really goin down

[Verse: Nathaniel]
Whassup my nigga another day the same shit
Punk-ass C.O.'s on a nigga dick
Got me up at three o'clock cookin eggs n' grits
I'm a G from C.P. I can't take the shit
Tryin to hold a nigga down in this country ass town
I'm used to smokin chronic movin pounds
They got a nigga on some "Sir, yessir, left right left"
Throw me in the hole if my ass outta step
They treat you like a motherfuckin slave
Dopefiends find Jesus, swear they saved
Niggas better get they game tight
Cause these crackers tryin to take a nigga life and they rights
I'm surrounded by fake-ass crooks
They swear they kingpins but don't have money on they books
I hear so many lies it make me sick
These niggas called ballers sellin dimes and nicks
I can't wait til the day they let me go
So I can eat some steak and shrimp
Grab a mic, and bust a flow
I'm Audi 5 nigga lights out
Hold it down on the streets until the day that I get out
[Outro: Nathaniel]
