Outkast - Elevators (Me and You)

Outkast - Elevators (Me and You)

One for the money yes uh two for the show
A couple of years ago on Headland and Delowe
Was the start of something good
Where me and my nigga rodes the MARTA, through the hood
Just trying ta find that hookup
Now everyday we look up at the ceiling
Watching ceiling fans go around trying ta catch that feeling
Off instrumental, had my pencil, and plus my paper
We caught the 86 Lithonia headed to Decatur
Writing rhymes trying ta find our spot off in that light
Light off in that spot, known that we could rock
Doing the hole in the wall clubs, this shit here must stop
Like freeze, we making the crowd move but we not making no G's
And that's a nono

Yeah, uh, check it
Ah one two, ah one two doe, niggaz
In the Cadillac they call us went from Player's Ball to ballers
Putting the South up on the map was like Little Rock to banging
Niggaz say motherfuck that playing, they paying
We stay in layin vocals, locals done made it with them big boys
Up in this industry, Outkast yea dem niggaz they making big noise
Over a million sold to this day, niggaz they take it lightly
Ninety-six gon be that year that all y'all playa haters can bite me
...around this bitch

Me and you, your momma and your cousin too
Rollin down the strip on vogues
Coming up slamming Cadillac doors
Me and you, your momma and your cousin too
Rollin down the strip on vogues
Coming up slamming Cadillac doors

Back in the day when I was younger, hunger
Looking to fill me belly with that Rally's, bullshit, pull shit
Off like it was supposed to be pulled
Full as a tick I was, stoned like white boys
Smoking them white golds before them blunts got crunk, chunky asses
Passes getting thrown like Hail Mary's and they looking like Halle Berry
So so fine, intertwined, but we ain't sipping wine
We's just chilling, I'm the rabid villain, and I'm so high
Smoking freely, me Lil B, Greet, Mon and Shug
And my little brother James, thangs changed in the hood
Where I live at, them rats know, mama I want to sing but
Mama I want to trick, and mama I'm sucking dicks, now
We movin on up in da world like elevators
Me and the crew we pimps like eighty-two
Me and you like Tony Toni Tone
Like this Eastpointe and we gone

Me and you, your momma and your cousin too
Rollin down the strip on vogues
Coming up slamming Cadillac doors
Me and you, your momma and your cousin too
Rollin down the strip on vogues
Coming up slamming Cadillac doors

Got stopped at the mall the other day
Heard a call from the other way
That I just came from, some nigga was saying something
Talking bout "Hey man, you remember me from school?" smoke some
Naw not really but he kept smiling like a clown
Facial expression looking silly
And he kept asking me, what kind of car you drive, I know you paid
I know y'all got buku of hoes from all them songs that y'all done made
And I replied that I had been going through the same thing that he had
True I got more fans than the average man but not enough loot to last me
To the end of the week, I live by the beat like you live check to check
If you don't move yo' foot then I don't eat, so we like neck to neck
Yes we done come a long way like them slim ass cigarettes
from Virginia, this ain't gon' stop so we just gonna continue

Me and you, your momma and your cousin too
Rollin down the strip on vogues
Coming up slamming Cadillac doors
Me and you, your momma and your cousin too
Rollin down the strip on vogues
Coming up slamming Cadillac doors
Me and you, your momma and your cousin too
Rollin down the strip on vogues
Coming up slamming Cadillac doors
Me and you, your momma and your cousin too
Rollin down the strip on vogues
Coming up slamming Cadillac doors

DJ Drama (feat. Outkast & Marsha Ambrosius) - Da Art of Storytelling, Part 4

So I’m watching her fine ass walk to my bedroom
And thought to myself that’s the shape of things to come
She said, “Why in the club you don’t make it precipitate,
You know make it rain, when you could make it thunderstorm?”
I’m like – why, the world needs sun, the hood needs fun
So there’s a war going on and half the battle is guns.
How dare I throw it on the floor when people are poor
So I write like Edgar Allen to restore
Got a cord, umbilical attached to a place
That can’t afford no landscaping or window draping
This old lady told me if I ain’t got nothing good say nathin’,
That’s why I don’t talk much, I swear it don’t cost much
To pay attention to me, I tell it like it is, then I tell it how it could be
The hood be requesting my services, oh don’t get nervous it’s
Step you game up time these ain’t them same old rhymes
Designed to have you dancing in some club
Niggas write to me, women be off in they tub
Exfoliating with they pompoms yelling
Go 3000 - I’m in my whatever bumping ¬__100 miles and
Running, running, running, running,
Summon, woman, come in, sit down,
Heard you need some plumbing doning
I’m in a swell mood or rather swoll mood
Until she told me that she told dude
That she’ll be back she going to the store
I didn’t know she had a boyfriend so the door I pointed her to
I said call me when y’all break-up I don’t fuck nobody, bitch
And never on the Jacob, know what time it is
Nigga just trying to live like a nigga supposed to live
If I still drink that malt liquor,
I pour the beer on the ground for niggas not around
I started off starving now they got me out here Brett Favreing
Trying to see if I still got it, got it
I guess it like a __ thing about it

Nothing gonna stop us now, you can’t stop us
Watcha you gonna do right now, you can’t front
We the boss in here, we floss this year cuz
Ain’t nobody doing it like we do, oh no
Nothing gonna stop us now, you can’t stop us
Watcha you gonna do right now, you can’t front
We the boss in here, we floss this year cuz
Ain’t nobody doing it like we do, oh no
Oh no, you can’t stop us, oh no

So I peep this bitch in the vip I used to clip like Rob the Barber
It seems she couldn’t shape up, cupcake her, I didn’t bother
She a follower, a hell of a swallower, not a leader
Got a first, second, third, and fourth string - I didn’t need her
I didn’t mean to treat her like she was the main feature presentation
Her just a traitor to the situation
More like a hassle because she had no keys to the castle
The queen sits on the throne while this ho ride down on national
Zoom, go on, head over, beat you feet,
Drop, drop down and get your eagle on freak
We ever so discreet with this meet
Got a whole lot to lose if paparazzi ever shot or shoot we
Meaning me and you, us together in the lens
My ends would be gone just like some ‘dro in the wind
Told her ho, you gonna win, sure nuff we gonna to pretend
To the land of make believe, now come on and hit this hen’
Taking shots to the neck,
Now that’s love in your mouth, now were affiliates
So don’t me the gangsta grill, no drama, it makes no sense
I got a mean-ass backhand and a cannon that don’t miss, bitch

Nothing gonna stop us now, you can’t stop us
Watcha you gonna do right now, you can’t front
We the boss in here, we floss this year cuz
Ain’t nobody doing it like we do, oh no
Nothing gonna stop us now, you can’t stop us
Watcha you gonna do right now, you can’t front
We the boss in here, we floss this year cuz
Ain’t nobody doing it like we do, oh no
Oh no, you can’t stop us, oh no

I realized recently that I was born for this position
I took the fall for hip-hop
And I stand in front of you stronger than ever
Watch what come next
Follow the leader nigga
DJ the fuck Drama, IMG
Nothing can take me out my song

Nothing gonna stop us now, you can’t stop us
Watcha you gonna do right now, you can’t front
We the boss in here, we floss this year cuz
Ain’t nobody doing it like we do, oh no
Oh no, you can’t stop us, oh no
