Elevators (Me & You)

One for the money, yes, sir, two for the show

A couple of years ago, on Headland and Delowe

Was the start of something good

Where me and my - rode the MARTA through the hood

Just tryna find that hook up

Now everyday we looked up at the ceiling

Watching ceiling fans go 'round, tryna catch that feeling

Off instrumentals, had my pencil and plus my paper

We caught the 86 Lithonia, headed to Decatur

Writing rhymes, tryna find our spot off in that light

Light off in that spot, knowing that we could rock

Doing the hole in the wall clubs, this - here must stop

Like "Freeze!", we making the crowd move

But we not making no G's and that's a no-no

Check it, a one-two, a one-two dope dopes 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

- Say, "Mother- that playin'", they payin', we stayin', layin' vocals

Locales done made it with them big boys up in this industry

"OutKast, yeah, them -, they making big noise"

Over a million sold to this day, - take it lightly

'96 gon' be that year that all y'all playa haters can bite me

I'm out this

Me and you

Your momma and your cousin, too

Rolling down the strip on Vogues

Coming up, slamming Cadillac doors

Me and you

Your momma and your cousin, too

Rolling 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 bullsh-

Pull sh- off, like it was supposed to be pulled

Full as a tick, I was stoned like them white boys

- Them White Golds before them - got crunk

Chunky chunkies, passes getting thrown like Hail Marys

And they looking like Halle Berrys

So, so fine, intertwined, but we ain't sipping wine

We's just chilling, I'm the rabid villain, and I'm so high

- So freely, me, Lil B, Reek, Mone and Shug

And my little brother James, thangs changed in the hood

Where I live at, them rats know, "Momma, I want to sing

But, momma, I want to trick, and momma, I'm sucking, sucking, now"

We moving on up in the world like elevators

Me and the crew, we pimps like '82

Me and you like Tony! Toni! Tone!

Like this, East Point and we gone

Me and you

Your momma and your cousin, too

Rolling down the strip on Vogues

Coming up, slamming Cadillac doors

Me and you

Your momma and your cousin, too

Rolling 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 - was saying something, talking 'bout - something

"Hey, man, you remember me from school?"

"No, not really"

But he kept smiling like a clown, facial expression looking silly

And he kept asking me, "What kinda car you drive?

I know you paid, I know y'all got beaucoup, beaucoup

From all them songs that y'all done made"

And I replied that I had been going through the same things that he has

True, I've 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 it don't move your feet, 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 gon' continue

Me and you

Your momma and your cousin, too

Rolling down the strip on Vogues

Coming up, slamming Cadillac doors

Me and you

Your momma and your cousin, too

Rolling down the strip on Vogues

Coming up, slamming Cadillac doors

Me and you

Your momma and your cousin, too

Rolling down the strip on Vogues

Coming up, slamming Cadillac doors
