Elevator (feat. Timbaland)

Lol, I hope That Dugfresh was saying that in humor. The song has no deep meaning. Elevator is simply a euphanism for his penis and he's saying she's stuck on it so she keeps coming back to it.

this song is about the tragic state of disrepair that the elevator industry finds itself in at the turn of the century. corporate politics, bureaucratic red-tape, restrictive government policies all contribute to the decline in the quality of elevator maintenance, as well as the quality of new elevators being built and installed in hotels, office buildings, and public facilities across North America.

the line: "Now I want you to break it down, DJ turn it up some more" refers to a dialog that Mr. Rida is having with an elevator repairman, whose name is obviously DJ. He wants DJ to 'break it down' — basically, tear the whole thing out and start over — and make it more powerful (faster) — 'turn it up some more'.

"One night, one time broke her off 10 grand. Project all the way gutta all day" refers to an actual personal experience Flo had in the elevator in his building. It broke down and cost 10 grand to fix. It was quite a project seeing as the elevator repair union was on strike and in order to fix the elevator, they had to get volunteers from Flo's building to get it going again. Flo borrowed the 10 grand from his big-faced gold digger honey ("My first flo step want a gold digging woman") who also lives in his building.

oh, and LFotF, the song London Bridge is about more or less the same thing (the elevator industry)as this one (Flo co-wrote the song with Fergie), but Fergie puts a more positive spin on it.

arrrrrrrrrr love itttt !

In answer to kirstiieee, his name is definitely pronounced Flow Ride-a (Rider). It has two meanings. First, he is from Florida (Flo Rida). Secondly, he rides his flow, which id a reference to his fast, smooth rapping.

As far as this song goes, I really have no idea. It's funny when a song like this or London Bridge becomes popular even though the lyrics are total nonsense.

i wonder what this song means. i'm guessing some deep meaning

I was. It just srikes me as humorous that people can come here and go "I like the beat, but I just wish I knew what he was singing about!" Those who commented on the state of hip hop — wait...let me qualify that: popular hip-hop, the chart-topping, mainstream stuff — are pretty much spot on; the lyrics are shallow and more or less pointless, but it is about the beat and the hook, and the flow, too, 'cause that sells. It rips up the clubs and that's what it's about. It's no different than the club music I listen to, which is progressive & epic trance and house...that stuff annoys the crap out of most people but I love it. I put a DJ mix on the headphones while I'm working and I just lose myself in it. If any of you have ever heard any run-of-the-mill vocal trance or house, you'll note that possibly the only place you'll find dumber lyrics is in mainstream hip hop. Maybe. I'm a lyric kind of guy, so that stuff makes me cringe and I avoid it whenever possible. But in hip hop, it's not a deal breaker.

For genuinely meaningful lyrics, I get my fix with Emery and Marillion (to name two out of many).

And as far as hip hop goes, Pharrell's "Best Friend" is a good example of good lyrical content, good beat, and an interesting & catchy hook. I know there are more examples out there; "Best Friend" is just what I've listened to lately.

I agree with Sunzli.....

Same goes for me xD

Love the song, but.
