Annotation
Out of Control I'm off the ground, I float like a jet of propellers, a Vietnam machine / Speaking of Vietnam, I'm in this beat like a heater in Vietcong / When I spit with the kerosene / Preaching of see 'em wrong, grabbin' this piece, I retrieve 'em / And lead 'em wrong with this gift of a shared dream / Reach in the seat and then bone like rap the heat like a teeter / Now bring it on when you hit you can barely breathe / Leap in the creek and the pond / Back in the streets like a dealer to feed 'em songs / I blend in with everything / I'm too rock for hip-hop / Too hip-hop for rock n' roll / I'm too city for rednecks / And I'm too country for city folks / But I don't give a fuck what they want from me / I can only give 'em what I know / I guess you can just call me / Out of motherfucking control

Annotation — Rap / Hip Hop Songs
Hip Hop collaboration, between Travis Barker, born on 14 November 1975 in Fontana, California, USA, and Yelawolf, born Michael Wayne Atha on 30 December 1979 in Gadsden, Alabama, USA. The song "Out of Control" continued the trend of using Vietnam to create the image of violence and conflict in US communities and cities: "I float like a jet of propellers, a Vietnam machine, speaking of Vietnam, I'm in this beat like a heater in Vietcong".
