Andre 3000 - Throwdown Lyrics






Do I watch cartoons?
Require something to browse it

Talk what you heard, pay your penny
That means I could throwdown, oh yeah
[?] and free your body
When we come to your town, oh, yeah

Jump up and touch the sky
Fall till you hit the dance floor, oh, yeah
I promise if you give it all you got
Every time they want more
Yeah, more, yeah, more, yeah

We throwdown, we throwdown, hey
We throwdown, we throwdown, hey
We throwdown, we throwdown, hey
We throwdown, we throwdown, hey

We throwdown, we throwdown, hey
We throwdown, we throwdown, hey
We throwdown, we throwdown, hey
We throwdown, we throwdown

Clap, clap your hands
Tell your mama, "That man throws down"
Ooh, from Atlanta to Japan
Every [?] throwdown, oh, yeah

Jump up and touch the sky
Fall, hit the dance floor, oh, yeah
I promise if you give it all you got
Every time they want more
Yeah, more, yeah, more, yeah

We throwdown, we throwdown, hey
We throwdown, we throwdown, hey
We throwdown, we throwdown, hey
We throwdown, we throwdown, hey

We throwdown, we throwdown, hey
We throwdown, we throwdown, hey
We throwdown, we throwdown, hey
We throwdown, we throwdown, throwdown

Ooh, wait, we got this thang pumpin' like [?]
I'm, Li'l D and all these drums, I throwdown
That's better than throwin' up
I'm Eddie and with my heart I love you or what

I'm Kim and I'm Kam
I'm on the turntables and I make the keyboard jam
I'm Philly Phil and I play bass
So I got that bottom, bow your bottom

You know who I am, I'm Tamika
And with this here guitar I'm a superstar
Hey, all people, I'm Madison and I'm a [?]
No, Madison, you're supposed to let them know what instrument you play
Oh, um, I play violin and I think we're comin' to the end, bye

    This song is oddly sexual

    U.... V....

    Usurp Vision that’s you

  22. N.... S....

    Just now a funny thing happened and this is true : I remembered this song while i was in the shower so i started playing this as soon as i got to my room, I got up and started dancing 💃💃💃 my curtains were opened and the window was behind me and when i looked down and finally realized ...... I wasn't dressed 😫😫😫😫😫😖 my butt had been in full view but thankfully the neighbours weren't in their backyard else 😅😅😅😅😅

  23. C.... ....

  26. I.... ....

    I swear the music in this show is godlike.

  27. o.... g....

    I can't believe I'm 24 now. I still love this.

  28. H.... F....

    I thought this show was the product of a fever dream good too see I'm not crazy

  29. V.... G....

    Oh yeah, I remember this song, but I missed this show airing on Cartoon Network.

  30. B.... D....

    Did Outkast right this song?

    B.... D....

    Black Dog
    Yep

  31. C.... D....

    Cave men had just discovered fire

  32. L.... A....

    Holy moly, this song just unlocked memories I don't even remember having.

  33. r.... s....

    Love this show!!

  34. J.... l....

    MADISON IS... ME BEFORE LIFE MADE ME HORRIBLE

  35. I.... ....

    Man, Class of 3000 was the absolute best show in earth. With Andre Benjamins fingers all over this, it was like a kids introduction to the greatness that was Outkast!!! Long live Andre 3000 and continue to represent Atlanta!!

  36. F.... A....

    this song is LIT

  37. T.... O....

    Why haven't they brought this show to Boomerang already???

    T.... O....

    CN is likely not going to touch the show again after a failed lawsuit against it

  38. N.... ....

    2k17 (g)oooold

  39. h.... k....

    do I watch cartoons?

  40. S.... G....

    my new ringtone

  41. N.... B....

    I miss this show.

  42. H.... ....

    I literally just threw everything I was workin' on aside the second Pandora started playin' this jam. I literally stopped everything and started throwin' like how they did in the ol' commercial years back.

  43. A.... K....

    If I could get all of the old shows I liked on one network,

    A.... K....

    you can on kiss cartoon

    A.... K....

    I wish. . .

    A.... K....

    Kiss Cartoon have poor quality for a lot shows. Even Ultimate alien that only few years ago.

    A.... K....

    boomerang cable TV or go to kisscartoon online

    A.... K....

    Nah, Ive checked all that out. What I want is a network like Discovery Family, that could get the rights to air old shows on their network. Because, I do believe most cartoonetwork shows are not products of the CN Studio, they belong to the creative teams behind the shows. I need to write a long letter to Warner Bros.

  44. N.... Y....

    This song a classic now.

  45. D.... M....

    Brandon Elway if u want to watch the show go to kisscartoon.me

  46. T.... H....

    I miss this show

  47. g.... ....

    YOU KNOW WHO I AM

  48. t.... ....

    why didn't this show last?

    t.... ....

    Some douch bag but he lost the case. But that was still enough for Andre to not want to continue the show from what I hear.

    t.... ....

    +number3665 damn budget

    t.... ....

    Yeah, you saw how quick CN flushed all their Class of 3000 stuff down the toilet, they wouldn't even show the occasional rerun.

    t.... ....

    which is sad

    t.... ....

    Terrell Williams man that sucks

  49. R.... U....

    I'm not tweakin', but in the beginning did he say "fuck what you heard"?

    R.... U....

    keep in mind, Andre ain't always kids friendly

    R.... U....

    Fire puppies this is still a kids show that Andre made. He is kid friendly

    R.... U....

    @Carl Bloke He is here, but he knows how to walk the line well.

    R.... U....

    Fire puppies but he is because he said funk. But the first time i also thought he said "fuck"

  50. K.... F....

    *I love this show*

  51. K.... B....

    my show !!!

  52. F.... J....

    this brings good memories.

  53. B.... P....

    I FOUND IT. I was convinced this show was just my imagination.

    B.... P....

    Reddit and NeoGaf apparently are two of the internet gods.

    B.... P....

    Brandon Elway OMG SAME

    B.... P....

    lol me tho

  54. T.... ....

    2016 with me

  55. D.... G....

  56. L.... W....

    Anyone seen the thriller version of this? So funny

  57. l.... d....

  58. A.... N....

    I kinda wanna see someone make an amv of great old school cartoons and have that part with Madison at the end

  59. j.... ....

  60. P.... ....

    29 people threw up instead of down

    P.... ....

    Haha....

    P.... ....

    Pending lol xD
    9 more people now

    P.... ....

    Lol that was a good one.

    P.... ....

    They threw down too hard and got hurt

  61. T.... ....

    Was an okay show, but it got cut too soon. If they got another couple seasons, we could've seen of this would've been a good show or not. As it stands, it's just O-K. (Aside from the music of course, which was it's primary saving grace. The music in this show was great.)

    T.... ....

    Templarfreak how was it ok? It was pretty great as a standalone show

    T.... ....

    @Carl Bloke It had very poor plots/story, pretty much as minimal animation as possible to not be considered bad (Except during some of the music videos which did tend to get pretty creative, colorful, and fluid), full of bad/annoying cliches, and very little to no character development which is bad because there was very little character in everyone except Andre to begin with. From pretty much every standpoint but the music it was noticeably low quality. The music is what makes it "just ok" as a whole IMO.

    T.... ....

    @Templarfreak the art style was a unique choice by the creator also the characters have likeable personalities. Perhaps you should rewatch the show

    T.... ....

    @Carl Bloke The art-style was stilted, flat, and generally just unpleasant except during a music video where it got vibrant and very fluid. And no, a lot of the characters were at least kind of whiny in almost every episode which got really annoying really fast.

    T.... ....

    @Templarfreak not really. Art style was supposed to be flexible. It wasn't unpleasant since it was still very visually pleasing. The music animation is good yes but so was the overall animation of the show. And no most of the characters were still likeable with their own unique personalities

  62. E.... t....

    Listening to this in 2015. Yes I'm a 21yr old child.

    E.... t....

    20 turning 21 next month

    E.... t....

    Eman the Heartbreak it's 2016, I'm 22 and I'm listening to this.

    E.... t....

    listening in 2087, I'm a 67 year old fetus

  63. B.... L....

    I seriously start crying because this was literally (besides Spongebob) the only show I loved to death and still do (and the music wasn't kiddy- it was something you could hear on the radio), so I'm honestly not sure how badly CN screwed up to get such a potential show cancelled.

    B.... L....

    There was a messy copyright lawsuit and CN abandoned it. It was wrong though.

  64. L.... ....

    this song it is....FANTASTIC! (get it?)

  65. H.... H....

    Throwdown? More like throwBACK

    H.... H....

    +Hanyuu “XernVeltal” Higarii AWWWWWWWW YEAH!!!!!

    H.... H....

    Stfu weeb

  66. A.... A....

    When you realize the guy singing is Andre 3000.

    A.... A....

    Addie's SHOW
    Why do you think it has 3000 in the title

  67. M.... ....

    Somebody get an instrumental! This is too good!

  68. C.... O....










  69. Y.... W....

    280,794

  70. J.... T....

    I'd love for parappa the rapper or umjammerlamy to sing this...

  71. S.... C....

    Man I miss this show..

  72. T.... ....

    I miss this show lol.

  73. D.... F....

    *cries in Spanish* LIIIIIILLLL D :(

  74. E.... ....

    The reason they canceld this show was because Andre 3000 got sued for it.

    E.... ....

    really? i thought it had sometjing to do with him getting sued. thanks majin buu

  75. S.... W....

    Kam was my all-time favorite. You know, despite the facts that he's afraid of ducks and apparently has no sweat glands. I've always liked the nerdy ones. Phil's my second favorite, who can forget the shifty Mr. Giraffe... and then comes Madison. "I can make a dolphin noise!"

    S.... W....

    Wabutan VX Philly Phil was my favorite. All his nerdy chemistry jokes and so on lol.

  76. A.... C....

    I don't think there was a single straight line in this cartoon.

    A.... C....

    @Osarenoma Osawaru In terms of the animations and designs, all the outlights were usually curved.

    A.... C....

    Yeah your right no straight lines

    A.... C....

    @MrKevin5gs Aside of background buildings because, you know, we can't have the buildings look as bad as the ones in Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog.

    A.... C....

    musical notes and lines tho

    A.... C....

    The legends say that if their was a straight line then the show would break lol

  77. Z.... ....

    This was my FAVORITE song in the world the first time I heard this. And it's still one of my favorites. :D

  78. S.... ....

    Wow nostalgia....

  79. T.... ....

    The first episode aired on my birthday. And this song was the first one of the series.

    The nostalgia, man. It's taking over me...

  80. B.... ....

    is philly phil also wilt from fosters?

    B.... ....

    Yeah Phil La Marr is from a lot of shows look'em up 

    B.... ....

    and samurai jack. and much more

    B.... ....

    And surprisingly Bulby from jimmy neutron...

  81. l.... ....

    I started dancing and didn't even know it. Major throwback.

  82. M.... ....

    this song rocked!

  83. M.... W....

    Luv and miss it

  84. B.... T....

    Cartoon Network should bring back the good old time shows not the crappy shows now. You better be listening not termites staff of Cartoon Network before the drippy shows began

  85. B.... ....

    Tamika fat as hell, lmao. 

  86. E.... M....

    Man I wish these shows would come back.

  87. J.... S....

    I used to love this show & now I miss it too :-\

  88. M.... M....

    Miss this show.

    M.... M....

    That shows was straight dope, it's a sham kids can't watch stuff like this...

  89. b.... ....

    Just hearing this song awakened so many dormant memories. This show is the reason I play piano today.

    b.... ....

    I hear you man, I had like no care for music before the show.I am now a professional flutist!

  90. M.... ....

    Madison = Pinkie Pie

  91. J.... F....

    BRING BACK THE OLD SHOWS

  92. T.... ....

    Why does bad things always happen to good shows, Class of 3000 is a major example

  93. d.... ....

    It got cancelled for the stupidest reason, i swear

    d.... ....

    @***** wow hard way for the show to go like that. They didn't even tell us either

    d.... ....

    😱😢😓😤😡😰😅😥😪

    d.... ....

    @Aareon Ballard Timothy McGee claimed to have the idea first, and sued Andre 3000 for the royalties. 

    d.... ....

    +onlyone23km. That's some bull bull we all know Andre had the idea first

    d.... ....

    @Aareon Ballard Timothy submitted his idea in 1997. Class of 3000 was run in 2006-2008. the jerk wanted the show cancelled AND he wanted all the money the show made, legal fees and THEN some. He only got the show cancelled.

  94. S.... H....

    I missed this show. I made sure I'd never moss an episode.

  95. G.... ....

    Same for me. It is the only show I like nowadays. Adventure time doesnt attract me that much.

  96. M.... ....

    First line is
    "FUNK what you heard tell yo' granny we bout to throwdown."
    Classic.

  97. d.... g....

    the days of gold in the history of cartoon network

  98. C.... M....

    In my middle school they played this song in the hall ways and it was best day ever because it reminded me about this show and that I miss it and it needs to come back

  99. M.... L....

    Back in the day doesn't have to mean 10, 15 or 20 years plus ago. As long as people don't say that 1, 2 or 3 years ago was back in the day. 5 years plus can be back in the day because the world has drastically changed in terms of technology since 2008. Flip phones were still popular in 2008, but now in 2013 if you have a flip phone it's like you are ancient.
