OUTKAST LYRICS - Aquemini

"Aquemini"



[Hook]

Even the sun goes down heroes eventually die

Horoscopes often lie and sometimes "y"

nothin' is for sure nothin' is for certain nothin' lasts forever

But until they close the curtain

it's him & I Aquemini



[Big Boi]

Now is the time to get on like Spike Lee said

get on the bus go get your work

and keep your beeper chirpin' is a must

Is you on that dust or cornstarch

familiar with that smack man

The music is like that green stuff

provided to you by sack man

Pac man how in the fuck do you think we gon' do that man?

Ridin' round Old National on 18's without no gat man

I'm strapped man & ready to bust on any nigga like that man

Me & my nigga we roll together like Batman & Robin

we prayed together through hard times

and swung hard when it was fitting

But now we tappin' the brakes from all them corners

that we be bending in Volkswagens & Bonnevilles

Chevrolets and Coupe De Villes

If you ain't got no rims nigga don't get no wood grain

steering wheel for real you can go on chill out & still build

let your paper stack instead of going into overkill

pay ya fuckin beeper bill bitch



[Hook]



[Dre]

Twice upon a time there was a boy who died twice

and lived happily ever after but that's another chapter

live from home of the brave with dirty dollars

& beauty parlors & baby bottles & bowling ball Impalas

& street scholars that's majoring in culinary arts

You know how to work bread cheese & dough

from scratch but see the catch is you can get caught

Know what ya sellin' what ya bought so cut that big talk

Let's walk to the bridge now meet me halfway

now you may see some children dead off in the pathway

it's them poor babies walkin' slowly to the candy lady

It's lookin' bad need some hope

like the words maybe, if, or probably more than a hobby

when my turntables get wobbly they don't fall

I'm sorry y'all I often drift I'm talkin' gift

so when it comes you never look the horse inside it's grill

of course you know I feel like the bearer of bad news

Don't want to be it but it's needed so what have you

Now question is every nigga with dreads for the cause?

Is every nigga with golds for the fall? Naw

So don't get caught in appearance

it's Outkast Aquemini another Black experience Okay



[Hook]



[Big Boi]

The name is Big Boi Daddy Fat Sax

the nigga that like them Cadillacs

I stay down with these streets

'cause these streets is where my folks at

Better know that some say we pro-black boy we professional

we missed a lot of church so the music is our confessional

Get off the testicles & the nut sacks

you bust a rhyme we bust back

Get get back for real niggas that's out here tryin' to spit facts

You hear dat can't come near dat maybe you need to quit

because Aquemini is Aquarius & Gemini runnin' shit like this

Yea yea yea yea



[Dre]

My mind warps and bends floats the wind count to ten

meet the twin Andre Ben. welcome to the lion's den

original skin many men comprehend

I extend myself so you go out & tell a friend

Sin all depends on what you believing in

Faith is what you make it that's the hardest shit since MC Ren

Alien can blend right on in wit' yo' kin

look again 'cause I swear I spot one every now & then

It's happenin' again wish I could tell you when

Andre this is Andre y'all just gon' have to make amends



[Hook]
