Apropos of a lot

[kjpepper]

So, I typed a text to a girl I used to see
Sayin that I chose this cutie pie with whom I wanna be
And I apologize if this message gets you down
Then I CC'd every girl that I'd see see'd round town and
I hate to see y'all frown but I'd rather see her smiling
*Wetness* all around me, true, but I'm no island
Peninsula maybe, makes no sense I know, crazy
Give up all this pussycat thats in my lap no lookin back
Spaceships dont come equipped with rearview mirrors
They dip as quick as they can
The atmosphere is now ripped
Im soul like a Pip, Im Gladys Knight
So delight from the sun would not burn me on my bum
When I shoot the moon high, jump the broom
Like a premie out the womb
My partner yellin "Too soon! Dont do it! Reconsider!
Read some literature on the subject
You sure? Fuck it
You know we got your back like chiropractic
If that bitch do you dirty
We'll wipe her ass out as in detergent
Now hurry hurry, go on to the altar
I know you aint a pimp but pimp remember what I taught ya
Keep your heart 3 stacks, keep your heart
Aye, keep your heart 3 stacks, keep your heart
Man, these girls is smart, 3 stacks, these girls is smart
Play your part, play your part...

-Andre 3000, "International Players Anthem"


I must say, Girl Talk is a pretty excellent crash course in fairly recent hip hop.

Keep your heart 3 stacks, keep your heart
Aye, keep your heart 3 stacks, keep your heart


Help me dechipher ? I don't get what these lyrics mean.

No worries, it took me a few listens to get it too, it doesn't help that the punctuation's fucked up in those lines.

a "stack" is fifty twenty dollar bills. 3 Stacks is another way of saying Andre 3000.
