Big Boi Apple Of My Eye

Today, a rap legend turns the page on another chapter, as Big Boi officially celebrates his forty-sixth birthday. Though it’s no secret that OutKast is revered as one of the best group in hip-hop history, Big Boi’s solo catalog is impressive in its own right, with albums like Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son Of Chico Dusty and Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors showcasing the lyricist’s incredible versatility. On that note, the latter project sparked the single “Apple Of My Eye,” a groovy highlight off Big Boi’s sophomore drop and one that remains enjoyable to this day.

In contrast to Sir Lucious, Vicious Lies found Big Boi exploring some of his more experimental instincts, unsurprising given how deeply he reveres the music of Kate Bush. Fueled by a live-band arrangement that keeps the tempo lively, Big Boi steps up like a true frontman and to spit some thematically sharp bars. “In the beginning they say Eve bit it, They’re still sinnin’ cuz they lettin’ every Tom, Dick, and Steve hit it,” he raps, taking to the lush blend of guitar and bass. “Therefore I’m quick to not believe in it.”

Lyrics

[Hook: Jake Troth]
Gimme one reason why, gimme one reason why, why-y-y
You’re the apple of my eye
Gimme one reason why, gimme one reason why, why-y-y
You’re the apple of my eye

[Verse 1: Big Boi]
In the beginning they say Eve bit it
They’re still sinnin’ cuz they lettin’ every Tom, Dick and Steve hit it
Therefore I’m quick to not believe in it
Like the weed with the seeds in it
Now proceed like a G pimpin’
And some of the things you’ve probably seen in your life
Made you think a certain kinda way about finding your wife
Or your better half, it’s better to love and to hold
Than to never have it at all and ball on these hoes
Make your stock go up, my Apple stock split
Took a gamble, caught it at forty, and now it’s over six
I’m rich trick and that’s in hundos
So overseas you might catch us eating Nando’s

[Hook: Jake Troth]
Gimme one reason why, gimme one reason why, why-y-y
You’re the apple of my eye
Gimme one reason why, gimme one reason why, why-y-y
You’re the apple of my eye

[Verse 2: Big Boi]
Some say the preacher’s daughters are some of the freakiest ones
They been deprived of fun and now they just wanna cut loose
Like everybody else, they wildin’ try to find theyself
And by the time they do, they barely have nobody left… over
Feeling empty and alone, ’cause the youth is gone
The thrill has been killed so let the truth be told
Look in the mirror, my dear, and it appears
That the eyes are the window to the soul, oh

[Hook: Jake Troth]
Gimme one reason why, gimme one reason why, why-y-y
You’re the apple of my eye
Gimme one reason why, gimme one reason why, why-y-y
You’re the apple of my eye

[Break: Big Boi]
Ah, ah
Come on, say what
Ah, ah
Come on say: “Ah-ah-ah”
To my people sayin: “Ah-ah-ah”
Leggo

[Bridge: Jake]
I, I need a big bite baby, a big bite baby
Of your sweet red delicious love
I, I need a big bite baby, a big bite baby
Of your sweet red delicious love

[Hook: Jake Troth]
Gimme one reason why, gimme one reason why, why-y-y
You’re the apple of my eye
Gimme one reason why, gimme one reason why, why-y-y
You’re the apple of my eye

[Outro: Jake]
You’re the apple of my eye
