Outkast - Elevators lyrics

Verse one: andre

One for the money yes uhh two for the show

A couple of years ago on headland and delowe

Was the start of somethin good

Where me and my nigga rodes the martathrough the hood

Just tryin ta find that hookup

Now everyday we look up at the ceiling

Watchin ceiling fans go around tryin ta catch that feelin

Off instrumentalhad my penciland plus my paper

We caught the 86 lithonia headed to decatur

Writing rhymes tryin ta find our spot off in that light

Light off in that spotknown that we could rock

Doin the hole in the wall clubsthis shit here must stop

Like freezewe makin the crowd move but we not makin no g's

And that's a nono

Verse two: big boi

Yeahuhhcheck it

Ahh one twoahh one two doeniggaz

In the cadillac they call us went from player's ball to ballers

Puttin the south up on the map was like little rock to bangin

Niggaz say motherfuck that playinthey payin

We stay in layin vo-calslocals done made it with them big boys

Up in dis industryoutkast yea dem niggaz they makin big noise

Over a million sold to this dayniggaz they take it lightly

Ninety-six gon be that year that all y'all playa haters can bite me

...around this bitch

Chorus: repeat 2x

Me and youyour momma and your cousin too

Rollin down the strip on vogues

Comin up slammin cadillac doz (doors)

Verse three: big boi

Back in the day when I was youngerhunger

Lookin to fill me belly with that rally'sbullshitpull shit

Off like it was supposed to be pulled

Full as a tick I wasstoned like white boys

Smokin them white golds before them blunts got krunkchunky asses

Passes gettin thrown like hail mary's and they lookin like halle berry

So so fineintertwinedbut we ain't sippin wine

We's just chillinI'm the rabid villainand I'm so high

Smokin freelyme lil bgreetmon and shug

And my little brother jamesthangs changed in the hood

Where I live atthem rats knowmama I want to sing but

Mama I want to trickand mama I'm suckin dicknow

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

Chorus

Verse four: andre

Got stopped at the mall the other day

Heard a call from the other way

That I just came fromsome nigga was sayin somethin

Talkin bout "hey manyou remember me from school? " smoke some

Naw not really but he kept smilin like a clown

Facial expression lookin silly

And he kept askin mewhat kind of car you driveI 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 goin through tha 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 weekI live by the beat like you live check to check

If you don't move yo' foot then I don't eatso we like neck to neck

Yes we done come a long way like them slim ass cigarettes

From virginiathis ain't gon stop so we just gonna continue

Chorus
