Except that it's an original chorus written by Big Boi and the guy who's
singing it, Patrick "Sleepy" Brown.
I've read several people so far make similar claims about "The Way You
Move" ("aww, they just ripped off the chorus from some old Earth Wind and
Fire song" is another popular contention) and it's always a hoot when they
discover otherwise. Guess what, folks! They're not all subliterate
cretins! Some hip-hoppers can write their own hooks!
