Black and Yellow Lyrics
[Wiz Khalifa - Intro]
Yeah ah ha
you know what it is
Black and yellow, black and yellow
Black and yellow, black and yellow
(repeated)
[Chorus]
Yeah ah ha, you know what it is
everything I do, I do it big
Yeah ah ha, screaming thats nothin
when I pulled out of the lot, thats stuntin
step up in my town when you see me you know everything
Black and yellow, black and yellow
Black and yellow, black and yellow
I put it down from my whip to my diamonds
Black and yellow, black and yellow
Black and yellow, black and yellow
Black and yellow, black and yellow
[Wiz Khalifa- Verse 1]
Uh, black stripe, yellow paint
the niggas scared of it but them hoes ain't
soon as I hit the club look at them hoes face
put the pedal once make the floor shake
suede inside, engine roaring
it's the big boy you know what I pay for it
and I got the pedal to the metal
got you niggas checking game I'm balling out on every level
hear them haters talk but there's nothing you can tell em
just made a million, got another million on my schedule
no love for em nigga breaking hearts
no keys, push to start
[Chorus]
[Wiz Khalifa- Verse 2]
Got a call from my jeweler this just in
and bitches love me cuz I'm fucking with their best friends
not a lesbian but she a freak though
this ain't for one night I'm shining all week hoe
I'm sippin clicquot and rocking yellow diamonds
so many rocks up in my watch I can't tell what the time is
got a pocket full of big faces
throw it up cuz every nigga that I'm with Taylor'd
[Chorus]
[Wiz Khalifa- Verse 2]
Stay high like how I'm supposed to do
that crowd underneath them clouds can't get close to you
and my car look unapproachable
super clean but its super mean
she wanna fuck with them cats
smoke weed count stacks
get fly and take trips and thats that
real rap, i let her get high if she want she feel that
convertible drop feel, '87 the top peel back
[Chorus]
[End]
Yeah ah ha
you know what it is
Black and yellow, black and yellow
Black and yellow, black and yellow
(repeated)
Yeah ah ha, you know what it is
everything I do, I do it big
Yeah ah ha, screaming thats nothin
when I pulled out of the lot, thats stuntin
step up in my town when you see me you know everything
Black and yellow, black and yellow
Black and yellow, black and yellow
I put it down from my whip to my diamonds

nah its definatly about a big guy who goes around to parties dressed like a bumble bee.
Yes indeed Wiz khalifa is from Pittsburgh and loves the Steelers, but this song is not about them. Its about his car
Uh, black stripe, yellow paint the n-ggas scared of it but them hoes aint soon as I hit the club look at them hoes face put the pedal once make the floor shake suede inside, engine roaring
Basically his car is a push to start it has yellow paint with a black stripe and everyone else is envious of it. The last verse tells us its a convertible that he basically likes to blaze and f'ck in
THANK YOU!! I don't understand why the hell people think it's about some football team!

The song is about Wiz's love for Pittsburgh in general. Everything in Pittsburgh is black and gold- it's the official color of the city. All the major sports teams' colors are black and gold. He says black and yellow because it's more catchy and the Steelers' gold is bright (many outsiders call it yellow). He's singing about reppin' his hometown. When you see him, you know everything will be black and yellow- from his diamonds to his car. The rest of the lyrics are just him talking about how he's made it and living the good life but he's still...

Uh, yes... he mentions his car, but that's only one portion of the song. As kristaseleneon said, Wiz is "reppin his town." Everything he sports is black and yellow, from his whip (car) to his diamonds.

Khalifa uses repetition to alternate between black, an archetypical color representing death and chaos, and yellow, a color associated with hope and prosperity. He juxtaposes his dark upbringing, perhaps alluding to his struggles as a young black man, with the color of gold, treasure, and what may be known as "bling." The recurrent automotive language is an important motif because of its representation of sexual frustration. The speaker's financial ups and downs culminate on his usage of a car as a sexual surrogate, which may symbolize some level of impotence or emasculation. If this is true, it becomes evident that the black-and-yellow contrast is a reflection of the cognitive dissonance of a financially and sexually unstable individual. When trying to express his frustration, Mr. Khalifa could come up with little more than "black and yellow." The frustrated outcry, "You know what it is!" invites the reader to reach deeper to figure out the speaker's plight.
haha. well done, college student.

I thought the song was about a black guy rapping about his black and yellow car that is so expensive that it makes other black people shit their pants and the black women dampen their panties and then automatically have sex with him while under the influence of marijuana. Thank you for opening my eyes

@Zabrak12 This is probably my most favorite interpretation of anything ever.

Pretty sure this is about his car, but I really want it to be the Hufflepuff House Fight Song :-P

Back too what kooka said I never wouldve thought of that and thanks for pointing it out, and Chelsea I may be looking into this song too deep but think about it, it's his first big song into the game even tho hes been around since 07 I believe, and those songs where hot and lyrics where sick but black and yellow references the Devils livery colors and it may just be his home town but thats what they what you to think and also there is said to be some illuminati references in this music video
