Wheelz Of Steel Lyrics
As I sit in my b-boy stance
With flip-flops and socks, and sweatpants
We finna enhance your brain, check it out
When the playa from the Pointe didn't have no flow
A nigga hit me for my tennis shoes, walkin to the sto'
Caught a nigga slippin, but now I lay it to the flo'
just like carbon, cuz I got the heat in my rhythm
Momma nay not, never braggin just to stay knot
Even when I was a younger lad I learned my lesson
Never talked to strangers in the trap and answered questions
But for unknown reasons cuz we don't sell dope
That you distribute, we don't contribute, to your clandestine
activity, my soliloquoy, may be hard for some to swallow
But so is cod liver oil
You went behind my back like Bluto when he cut up Olive Oyl
Two things I hate lies and thieves they make my blood boil
Boa constricted, on my soul that they call
Now show me how you feel...
Touched by the wheelz of steel...
Now show me how you feel...
But it only took a nigga thirty minutes to take it
Cut that kronk clean up I did, but I did so not safely
Don't want no AIDS, *clapping* no claps, or no rabies
Gotta collect call, they done locked up my folks
Low blow, hit me in the left ventricle
We won't be able to ride out till two thousand fo'
Tryin to take you other people for your rims at the curb
Fore you swerve and bust ya forehead, go head, go head
More head for me, while you ride to the beat
Shout Shout let it all out, just for my peers
And pupils who feel like it's time to unwind
Like December 31st, on nineteen-ninety-nine
One time for my boy doing King shit
Two times for Legit and it don't quit
Three times for my folks in the drop top
Four times OutKast and it don't stop
One time for my cuz doing Queen thangs
Dead fresh to the teeth eatin chicken wings
Three times for my guhls in the beauty shop
Four times OutKast and i
the best outkast song . classic.
Anytime someone tells me that all Rap and Hip Hop and Urban music is shallow, narcissistic and totally disposable, I direct them to this song.
One of the greatest, most underrated songs ever.
agreed to both comments, i love to slip this into playlists. These days i can't help but remind people "that is turntables and records, understand that"...Mr DJ-yeah pretty much This Album is art though. I saw it first hand. I was listening to rap and shit and then got turned onto this...that's cheating...
Once i had a girlfriend from Lao (i lived in Thailand), she couldn't speak much english...like none...she woulda heard Top 40 shit at the most. No hip hop or rap... I would head off to work and leave her behind to cruise... I'd come home from work to this girl with the headphones on, bobbing her head, she was probably dancing before i came in... to Atliens....every single day for a month or so. I don't think she ever took the CD out.... Wheelz of Steel was her favorite song. I think it says a lot that their music transcends cultures and languages so easily. I saw the same thing in Indonesia where i live most of the year...i didn't know they had a new song out, then one afternoon i heard Hey Ya...It was banging and the whole alley felt that way. everybody nodding their heads... this girl dancing-still sitting, but the upper body was going- that's like her putting it out there at the same level as a girl in a western country twerking would be...
