Wiz Khalifa - Black & Yellow Lyrics
Send this Ringtone to your Cell[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 that's nothin'
When I pulled out of the lot, that's 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
[Verse 1]
Uh, black stripe, yellow paint
The n*ggas 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 paid for it
And I got the pedal to the metal
Got you n*ggas 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 n*gga breaking hearts
No keys, push to start
[Chorus]
Yeah ah ha, you know what it is
Everything I do, I do it big
Yeah ah ha, screaming that's nothin'
When I pulled out of the lot, that's 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
[Verse 2]
Got a call from my jeweler this just in
And b*tches love me cuz I'm f*cking 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 n*gga that I'm with Taylor
[Chorus]
Yeah ah ha, you know what it is
Everything I do, I do it big
Yeah ah ha, screaming that's nothin'
When I pulled out of the lot, that's 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
[Verse 3]
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 it's super mean
She wanna f*ck with them cats
Smoke weed count stacks
Get fly and take trips and that's that
Real rap, I let her get high if she want she feel that
Convertible drop feel, '87 the top peel back
[Chorus]
Yeah ah ha, you know what it is
Everything I do, I do it big
Yeah ah ha, screaming that's nothin'
When I pulled out of the lot, that's 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
Listen to "Black & Yellow"
Song details
"Black and Yellow" is a song by rapper Wiz Khalifa from his debut studio album, Rolling Papers. It was released on September 14, 2010 as the lead single from the album. The song was written by Wiz Khalifa and Stargate, and it was produced by Stargate. It was released as a CD single in honor of Record Store Day.
The song peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Wiz Khalifa's first number-one single in the United States.
The song's title is a reference to the colors of his cars, most of which also have the colors black and yellow, most notably his Bugatti Veyron. The song has also been linked to Pittsburgh's sports teams (notably the Steelers) which all have the colors black and yellow, and because Pittsburgh is Khalifa's hometown. The song is notable for spawning dozens of remixes and remakes, mostly in tribute to other American sports teams, although remakes have been created for non-American teams as well.
On the issue dated October 2, 2010, "Black and Yellow" debuted at number one-hundred on the Billboard Hot 100. It then dropped out the following week and re-entered at number sixty-four on the issue dated October 30, 2010. On its eighteenth charting week, the song rose to number one on the issue dated February 19, 2011, selling 198,000 digital copies that week. "Black and Yellow" has now sold over 3,000,000 digital copies since release.
The music video was directed by Bill Paladino. It was filmed in Pittsburgh and features sights of the city, including the U.S. Steel Tower, BNY Mellon Center, PPG Place, the Three Sisters and Smithfield Street bridges, Station Square, Shannon Hall of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and the smoke stacks of the former U.S. Steel Homestead Works at The Waterfront outside the city. The video also prominently features city icons such as the Terrible Towel, a rally towel for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The official remix, "Black & Yellow (G-Mix)" features west-coast rapper Snoop Dogg, Three 6 Mafia's Juicy J and T-Pain. Wiz Khalifa has a new verse on the track. The song leaked on December 12, 2010 but was officially released on December 16. A video for the remix was shot and was released on January 8, 2011. A remix by T-Pain featured the verse that was later put on the official remix.
