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
Incluso el sol se pone, los héroes eventualmente mueren
Horoscopes often lie and sometimes, "Y"
Los horóscopos a menudo mienten y a veces, "¿Por qué?"
Nothin' is for sure nothin', is for certain, nothin' lasts forever
Nada es seguro, nada es cierto, nada dura para siempre
But until they close the curtain (y'all know)
Pero hasta que cierren el telón (todos saben)
It's him and I, Aquemini
Somos él y yo, Aquemini
Yeah
Sí
Now is the time to get on like Spike Lee said
Ahora es el momento de seguir adelante como dijo Spike Lee
"Get on the bus", go get your work
"Sube al autobús", ve a buscar tu trabajo
And keep your beeper chirpin' is a must
Y mantener tu buscapersonas sonando es imprescindible
Is you on that dust or cornstarch
¿Estás en esa droga o almidón de maíz?
Familiar with that smack man
Familiarizado con esa bofetada, hombre
The music is like that green stuff
La música es como esa cosa verde
Provided to you by sack man
Proporcionada por el hombre del saco
Pacman how in the fuck do you think we gon' do that, man?
Pacman, ¿cómo diablos crees que vamos a hacer eso, hombre?
Ridin' round Old National on eighteens without no gat, man
Dando vueltas por Old National en dieciocho sin ninguna pistola, hombre
I'm strapped man, and ready to bust on any nigga like that, man
Estoy armado, hombre, y listo para disparar a cualquier negro así, hombre
Me and my nigga we roll together like Batman and Robin
Mi amigo y yo rodamos juntos como Batman y Robin
We prayed together through hard times
Oramos juntos en tiempos difíciles
And swung hard when it was fittin'
Y golpeamos fuerte cuando era necesario
But now we tappin' the brakes from all them corners
Pero ahora estamos frenando en todas esas esquinas
That we be bendin' in Volkswagens and Bonnevilles
Que doblamos en Volkswagens y Bonnevilles
Chevrolets and Coupe De Villes
Chevrolets y Coupe De Villes
If you ain't got no rims nigga don't get no wood grain
Si no tienes llantas, negro, no consigas volante de madera
Steerin' wheel for real (real), you can go on chill out and still build
De verdad (real), puedes relajarte y seguir construyendo
Let your paper stack instead of goin' into overkill
Deja que tu dinero se acumule en lugar de entrar en exceso
Pay ya fuckin' beeper bill, bitch
Paga tu maldita factura del buscapersonas, perra
Yeah, yeah (yeah)
Sí, sí (sí)
Even the sun goes down, heroes eventually die
Incluso el sol se pone, los héroes eventualmente mueren
Horoscopes often lie and sometimes, "Y"
Los horóscopos a menudo mienten y a veces, "¿Por qué?"
Nothin' is for sure, nothin' is for certain and nothin' lasts forever

Twice upon a time there was a boy who died
Dos veces hubo un tiempo en que un niño murió
And lived happily ever after but that's another chapter

Live from home of the brave with dirty dollars
En vivo desde el hogar de los valientes con dólares sucios
Beauty parlors and baby bottles and bowlin' ball Impalas
Salones de belleza y biberones y bolos con Impalas
And street scholars majorin' in culinary arts
Y eruditos de la calle especializados en artes culinarias
You know how to work bread cheese and dough
Sabes cómo trabajar el pan, el queso y la masa
From scratch but see the catch is you can get caught
Desde cero, pero la trampa es que puedes ser atrapado
Know what ya sellin', what ya bought, so cut that big talk
Sabe lo que vende, lo que compró, así que corte esa gran charla
Let's walk to the bridge, meet me halfway
Caminemos hasta el puente, encuéntrame a mitad de camino
Now you may see some children dead off in the pathway
Ahora puedes ver a algunos niños muertos en el camino
It's them poor babies walkin' slowly to the candy lady
Son esos pobres bebés caminando lentamente hacia la dama de los dulces
It's lookin' bad, need some hope
Se ve mal, necesita esperanza
Like the words "maybe", "if", or "probably"
Como las palabras "quizás", "si" o "probablemente"
More than a hobby when my turntables get wobbly they don't fall
Más que un pasatiempo cuando mis tornamesas se tambalean no caen
I'm sorry y'all, I often drift I'm talkin' gift
Lo siento, a menudo me desvío, estoy hablando de regalo
So when it comes you never look the horse inside it's grill
Así que cuando venga nunca mires al caballo dentro de su parrilla
Of course you know I feel like the bearer of bad news
Por supuesto, sabes que me siento como el portador de malas noticias
Don't want to be it but it's needed so what have you?
No quiero serlo, pero es necesario, ¿entonces qué tienes?
Now question is every nigga with dreads for the cause?
Ahora la pregunta es ¿cada negro con rastas por la causa?
Is every nigga with golds for the fall? Naw
¿Cada negro con oro para la caída? No
So don't get caught up in appearance
Así que no te dejes atrapar por la apariencia
It's Outkast, Aquemini another Black experience
Es Outkast, Aquemini otra experiencia negra
