T-Pain Dropped A Bombshell On Twitter And Clarified The Lyrics To "All I Do Is Win"
Featured on Barstool
My initial reaction
This is blasphemy! Absolute blasphemy. This is worse than when (spoiler) my parents told me Santa Claus wasn’t real. This is way worse than that. T-Pain coming outta NOWHERE on a random Wednesday and flipping the entire world on its head. Up is down. Left is right. So you’re telling me I’ve been drunkenly screaming at the top of my lungs
Everybody hands go up
and they stay there
and they stay there
When the correct lyrics are actually
Everybody hands go up
and they stay there
and they say yeah
And they say yeah? GET. THE. FUCK. OUTTA. HERE. That doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. My hands are in the air. They’re gone stay there. He’s telling me to keep them in the air. It’s as simple as that. Basic instructions. You know what? The lyrics to ‘All I Do Is Win’ is no longer in T-Pains jurisdiction. It’s no longer up to him. Yeah it’s him signing the lyrics on the song but, as a culture, we changed the lyrics. We just did. Sorry. It’s no longer up to T-Pain. Once you put out a song, it’s up to us as a society to decide what happens to it. Teddy Pendergrass doesn’t get a say anymore. He can’t come around here almost 8 years later and tell us what the right lyrics are. That statue of limitations has run out. It’s, “and they stay there, and they stay there” and I will here no opinion to contrary. Not even from the man himself.
