Aquemini [Album Version]
Antwan Patton, Andre Benjamin
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 (y'all know)
It's him and I, Aquemini
Yeah
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
Pacman how in the fuck do you think we gon' do that, man?
Ridin' round Old National on eighteens without no gat, man
I'm strapped man, and ready to bust on any nigga like that, man
Me and my nigga we roll together like Batman and Robin
We prayed together through hard times
And swung hard when it was fittin'
But now we tappin' the brakes from all them corners
That we be bendin' in Volkswagens and Bonnevilles
Chevrolets and Coupe De Villes
If you ain't got no rims nigga don't get no wood grain
Steerin' wheel for real (real), you can go on chill out and still build
Let your paper stack instead of goin' into overkill
Pay ya fuckin' beeper bill, bitch
Yeah, yeah (yeah)
Even the sun goes down, heroes eventually die
Horoscopes often lie and sometimes, "Y"
Nothin' is for sure, nothin' is for certain and nothin' lasts forever
But until they close the curtain
It's him and I, Aquemini
Twice upon a time there was a boy who died
And lived happily ever after but that's another chapter
Live from home of the brave with dirty dollars
Beauty parlors and baby bottles and bowlin' ball Impalas
And street scholars majorin' in culinary arts
You know how to work bread cheese and 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, 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 up in appearance
It's Outkast, Aquemini another Black experience
Okay
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 and I, Aquemini
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, but we professional
We missed a lot of church so the music is our confessional
Get off the testicles and the nut sacks
You bust a rhyme we bust back
G-Get back for real niggas that's out here tryin' to spit facts
You hear that can't come near that, maybe you need to quit (quit)
Because Aquemini is Aquarius and a Gemini runnin' shit like this (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
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 and tell a friend
Sin all depends on what you believin' 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 and then
It's happenin' again wish I could tell you when
"Andre this is Andre, y'all just gon' have to make amends"
Even the sun goes down heroes eventually die
Horoscopes often lie and sometimes, "Y"
Nothin' is for sure, nothin' is for certain and nothin' lasts forever
But until they close the curtain
It's him and I, Aquemini
"Finally Igor, we've done it, we've done it"
"Yes master, yes master"
"Yes Igor, we've done it"
"Uh-oh"
Even the sun goes down, heroes eventually die
Auch die Sonne geht unter, Helden sterben schließlich
Horoscopes often lie and sometimes, "Y"
Horoskope lügen oft und manchmal, „Y“
Nothin' is for sure nothin', is for certain, nothin' lasts forever
Nichts ist sicher, nichts ist gewiss, nichts hält ewig
But until they close the curtain (y'all know)
Aber bis sie den Vorhang schließen (ihr wisst schon)
It's him and I, Aquemini
Es sind er und ich, Aquemini
Yeah
Ja

Bist du auf diesem Staub oder Maisstärke
Familiar with that smack man
Vertraut mit diesem Schlag Mann
The music is like that green stuff
Die Musik ist wie dieses grüne Zeug
Provided to you by sack man
Dir zur Verfügung gestellt vom Sackmann

Pacman, wie zur Hölle denkst du, dass wir das machen, Mann?
Ridin' round Old National on eighteens without no gat, man
Rumfahren auf der Old National auf Achtzehnern ohne Knarre, Mann
I'm strapped man, and ready to bust on any nigga like that, man
Ich bin bewaffnet, Mann, und bereit, auf jeden Kerl wie diesen zu schießen, Mann
Me and my nigga we roll together like Batman and Robin
Ich und mein Kumpel, wir rollen zusammen wie Batman und Robin
We prayed together through hard times
Wir beteten zusammen in harten Zeiten
And swung hard when it was fittin'
Und schlugen hart zu, wenn es passte
But now we tappin' the brakes from all them corners
Aber jetzt treten wir auf die Bremse von all den Ecken
That we be bendin' in Volkswagens and Bonnevilles
Die wir in Volkswagens und Bonnevilles biegen
Chevrolets and Coupe De Villes
Chevrolets und Coupe De Villes
If you ain't got no rims nigga don't get no wood grain
Wenn du keine Felgen hast, nimm kein Holzlenkrad
Steerin' wheel for real (real), you can go on chill out and still build
Im Ernst (ernst), du kannst dich ausruhen und trotzdem bauen
Let your paper stack instead of goin' into overkill
Lass dein Geld stapeln, anstatt in den Overkill zu gehen
Pay ya fuckin' beeper bill, bitch
Bezahl deine verdammte Piepser-Rechnung, Schlampe
Yeah, yeah (yeah)
Ja, ja (ja)
Even the sun goes down, heroes eventually die
Auch die Sonne geht unter, Helden sterben schließlich
Horoscopes often lie and sometimes, "Y"
Horoskope lügen oft und manchmal, „Y“

Mehr als ein Hobby, wenn meine Plattenspieler wackelig werden, fallen sie nicht
I'm sorry y'all, I often drift I'm talkin' gift
Es tut mir leid, Leute, ich schweife oft ab, ich spreche von Geschenken
So when it comes you never look the horse inside it's grill
Also wenn es kommt, schaust du dem Pferd nie in den Grill
Of course you know I feel like the bearer of bad news
Natürlich weißt du, ich fühle mich wie der Überbringer schlechter Nachrichten
Don't want to be it but it's needed so what have you?
Will es nicht sein, aber es ist nötig, also was hast du?
Now question is every nigga with dreads for the cause?
Jetzt ist die Frage, ist jeder Nigga mit Dreads für die Sache?
