|
Yeah!
|
For the 2000 (2000)
|
Black Elvis (Black Elvis)
|
We get raw with this (hand me my guitar)
|
Tour bus packed (tour bus packed)
|
|
Black Elvis, recordin in the 48-track studio
|
Madison Square Garden soundcheck, to speak direct
|
Fans in the upper level, backstage passes
|
Wearin diamonds around my glasses, leather coat
|
Thirty thousand from Wilson, countin the mill's
|
I'm talkin to Andre Harrell with a chaffeur drivin me around
|
in the green Rolls Royce, parked parallel, on Fifth Avenue
|
Steppin in Bloomingdale's, waitin for Celine Dion to get her nails done
|
Tour dates start tommorrow, MCI send the cash through Wells Fargo
|
Black Elvis, 28 G's a night
|
Tour bus with the Motley Crue, who gon' stop who?
|
Rock star don't need no tattoo
|
Guitar out of the sharp, Fender bass with the Stratocaster
|
With Prodigy, Rage Against the Machine, flyin over the Atlantic ocean
|
with the potion
|
|
Chorus: Kool Keith
|
|
Black Elvis, rock star, walkin down Broadway
|
What y'all thinkin about?
|
Black Elvis, rock star, walkin down Broadway
|
Chillin in the project hallway
|
|
(repeat 1.5X)
|
|
[Kool Keith]
|
Tour bus, painted neon green with black wheels
|
We do big wheels, count big head Franklin bills
|
Movin up that's when I'm Black Elvis at the Civic Center
|
Promoter book venues that are too small, ignore the call
|
Seventy thousand jam packed arenas
|
with rock fans wearin backpacks
|
Merchandise sell nice gold shirts with red lights
|
Sponsored by Dial soap and a Heineken
|
The biggest rock star gon' rhyme again
|
Roadie cases for eight months, Samsonite suitcases
|
Rappers comin home with no money on the red eye with dead eyes
|
Stadium tickets, watch scalpers get wicked
|
Pull up in my limo ejecting your demo (your demo)
|
Stretch lamborghinis with four doors, with four floors
|
Followin right behind yours, basic Continental
|
Get out your rental before I get mental
|
(Yeah baby)
|
|
Chorus 2X
|
|
[Kool Keith]
|
Huge signs on highways, you see the biggest advertisements
|
I meant to man the bombs off and skip my next assignment
|
Walk in the Sony building, grab checks
|
Stop in a Hilton, Warner Brothers Chap' on the back
|
of my royalty statements, my name is Matthew
|
Three apartments on the West with 200 songs
|
Five minutes each on Ampex reels
|
At the Shark Bar chewin billionaire meals
|
At the Apollo, can you digest?
|
I'm a hard act to swallow
|
With a Paris France with a real estate agent
|
that's building me a kid's playground in Denver, Colorado
|
Vacation unknown when I'm speakin 3-way with Roberto Duran
|
and Sugar Ray Leonard on the cellular phone
|
Upstate Connecticut, hold you rap style with a better grip
|
(I'm a rock star now)
|
|
Chorus 2X
