Aquemini Lyrics

[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]
