Elevators {ONP 86 Mix} Lyrics

[Verse 1: André 3000]
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 MARTA, through the hood
Just tryin ta find that hookup
Now everyday we looked up at the ceiling (Yup)
Watchin ceiling fans go around tryin ta catch that feelin
Off instrumentals, had my pencil and 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 spot, knowin' that we could rock (Uh)
Doin the hole in the wall clubs, this shit here must stop
Like freeze, we makin the crowd move but we not makin no G's
And that's a no no

[Verse 2: Big Boi]
Yeah, uhh, check it
Ahh one two, ahh one two dope niggas
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
Niggas say motherfuck that playin, they payin
We stayin' layin' vo-cals, locals done made it with them big boys
Up in dis industry, Outkast yea dem niggas they makin big noise
Over a million sold to this day, niggas they take it lightly
Ninety-six gon be that year that all y'all playa haters can bite me
...around this bitch
[Chorus]
Me and you, your momma and your cousin too
Rollin' down the strip on vogues
Comin' up slammin' Cadillac doors
Me and you, your momma and your cousin too
Rollin' down the strip on vogues
Comin' up slammin' Cadillac doors

[Verse 3: Big Boi]
Uh
Back in the day when I was younger, hunger
Lookin to fill me belly with that Rally's, bullshit, pull shit
Off like it was supposed to be pulled
Full as a tick I was, stoned like the white boys
Smokin them white golds before them blunts got krunk, chunky asses
Passes gettin thrown like Hail Mary's and they lookin like Halle Berry
So so fine, intertwined, but we ain't sippin wine
We's just chillin, I'm the rabid villain, and I'm so high
Smokin freely, me Lil B, Greet, Mon and Shug
And my little brother James, thangs changed in the hood
Where I live at, them rats know, "mama I want to sing but
Mama I want to trick (Trick), and mama I'm suckin dicks, now"
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 (Yeah, yeah, uh)
Like this, East Point and we gone
[Chorus]
Me and you, your momma and your cousin too
Rollin' down the strip on vogues
Comin' up slammin' Cadillac doors
Me and you, your momma and your cousin too
Rollin' down the strip on vogues
Comin' up slammin' Cadillac doors

[Verse 4: André 3000]
Got stopped at the mall the other day
Heard a call from the other way (Hey)
That I just came from, some nigga was sayin somethin
Talkin bout smoke some "Hey man, you remember me from school?"
Naw not really but he kept smilin like a clown
Facial expression lookin silly
And he kept askin me, what kind of car you drive, I know you paid
I know y'all got beaucoup of hoes from all them songs that y'all done made
And I replied that I had been goin through the 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 week, I live by the beat like you live check to check (Uh)
If you don't move yo' feet then I don't eat, so we like neck to neck (Uh)
Yes we done come a long way like them slim ass cigarettes
From Virginia, this ain't gon stop so we just gonna continue (Uh)

[Chorus]
Me and you, your momma and your cousin too
Rollin' down the strip on vogues
Comin' up slammin' Cadillac doors
Me and you, your momma and your cousin too
Rollin' down the strip on vogues
Comin' up slammin' Cadillac doors
Me and you, your momma and your cousin too
Rollin' down the strip on vogues
Comin' up slammin' Cadillac doors
Me and you, your momma and your cousin too
Rollin' down the strip on vogues
Comin' up slammin' Cadillac doors
Me and you, your momma and your cousin too
Rollin' down the strip on vogues
Comin' up slammin' Cadillac doors
Me and you, your momma and your cousin too
Rollin' down the strip on vogues
Comin' up slammin' Cadillac doors
Me and you

The last track of the sophomore album by Outkast, this is a remix of Elevators (Me & You), which is off of this very same album, being the sixth track.

The difference between this remix and the original is mainly the different drums Organized Noize uses in this version, which are layered in a more laid-back way in comparison to the original track. Containing also scratching from the same production team, Organized Noize.
