Outkast - Aquemini Lyrics
[hook]Even the sun goes down heroes eventually dieHoroscopes often lie and sometimes yNothin is for sure nothin is for certain nothin lasts foreverBut until they close the curtainIts him & I aquemini[big boi]Now is the time to get on like spike lee saidGet on the bus go get your workAnd keep your beeper chirpin is a mustIs you on that dust or cornstarchFamiliar with that smack manThe music is like that green stuffProvided to you by sack manPac man how in the ***** do you think we gon do that man?Ridin round old national on 18s without no gat manIm strapped man & ready to bust on any nigga like that manMe & my nigga we roll together like batman & robinWe prayed together through hard timesAnd swung hard when it was fittingBut now we tappin the brakes from all them cornersThat we be bending in volkswagens & bonnevillesChevrolets and coupe de villesIf you aint got no rims nigga dont get no wood grainSteering wheel for real you can go on chill out & still buildLet your paper stack instead of going into overkillPay ya *****in beeper bill *****[hook][dre]Twice upon a time there was a boy who died twiceAnd lived happily ever after but thats another chapterLive from home of the brave with dirty dollars& beauty parlors & baby bottles & bowling ball impalas& street scholars thats majoring in culinary artsYou know how to work bread cheese & doughFrom scratch but see the catch is you can get caughtKnow what ya sellin what ya bought so cut that big talkLets walk to the bridge now meet me halfwayNow you may see some children dead off in the pathwayIts them poor babies walkin slowly to the candy ladyIts lookin bad need some hopeLike the words maybe, if, or probably more than a hobbyWhen my turntables get wobbly they dont fallIm sorry yall I often drift Im talkin giftSo when it comes you never look the horse inside its grillOf course you know I feel like the bearer of bad newsDont want to be it but its needed so what have youNow question is every nigga with dreads for the cause?Is every nigga with golds for the fall? nawSo dont get caught in appearanceIts outkast aquemini another black experience okay[hook][big boi]The name is big boi daddy fat saxThe nigga that like them cadillacsI stay down with these streetscause these streets is where my folks atBetter know that some say we pro-black boy we professionalWe missed a lot of church so the music is our confessionalGet off the testicles & the nut sacksYou bust a rhyme we bust backGet get back for real niggas thats out here tryin to spit factsYou hear dat cant come near dat maybe you need to quitBecause aquemini is aquarius & gemini runnin shit like thisYea yea yea yea[dre]My mind warps and bends floats the wind count to tenMeet the twin andre ben. welcome to the lions denOriginal skin many men comprehendI extend myself so you go out & tell a friendSin all depends on what you believing inFaith is what you make it thats the hardest shit since mc renAlien can blend right on in wit yo kinLook again cause I swear I spot one every now & thenIts happenin again wish I could tell you whenAndre this is andre yall just gon have to make amends[hook]
