About Wheelz of Steel

This classic OutKast track was one of two ‘A-Side’ singles. It is the second single off their second album, "ATLiens". The song itself is about their lives before they were rappers. The listeners themselves are touched by the “Wheelz of Steel” which could refer to Mr. DJ’s scratches. .

Wheelz of Steel Lyrics

[00:05.42] Uh
[00:08.04] As I sit in my b-boy stance
[00:12.20] With flip-flops and socks, and sweatpants
[00:16.88] I'm finna enhance your brain, check it out
[00:21.67] Once upon a time not long ago
[00:23.62] When the player from the Point didn't have no flow
[00:25.63] A nigga hit me for my tennis shoes, walkin' to the store
[00:27.82] Caught a player slippin', but now I lay it to the floor
[00:29.91] Just like carpet, 'cause I got the heat in my baby momma name now
[00:33.19] Never braggin just to stay knot
[00:34.62] Even when I was a younger lad I learned my lesson
[00:36.83] Never talked to strangers in the trap and answer questions
[00:38.87] The Pope and his folks got us under a scope
[00:40.75] But for unknown reasons 'cause we don't sell dope
[00:42.72] That you distribute, we don't contribute, to your clandestine activity
[00:45.82] My soliloquoy, may be hard for some to swallow
[00:47.98] But so is cod liver oil
[00:49.29] You went behind my back like Bluto when he cut up Olive Oyl
[00:51.70] Two things I hate lies and thieves, they make my blood boil
[00:53.83] Boa constricted, on my soul that they call
[00:55.16] Touched by the wheelz of steel
[00:58.41]
[01:03.96] Now show me how you feel
[01:06.85]
[01:12.40] Touched by the wheelz of steel
[01:15.63]
[01:20.92] Now show me how you feel
[01:30.38] It took your momma nine months to make it
[01:32.28] But it only took a nigga 30 minutes to take it
[01:34.26] Cut that kronk clean up I did, but I did so not safely
[01:36.93] Don't want no AIDS, no claps, or no rabies
[01:38.93] Yeah, we take no shit, like umm, stopped up commodes
[01:41.34] Gotta collect call, they done locked up my folks
[01:43.27] Low blow, hit me in the left ventricle
[01:45.45] We won't be able to ride out 'til 2004
[01:47.39] But not for long 'cause we got a better sack to serve
[01:49.48] Tryin' to take you other people for your rims at the curb
[01:51.73] 'Fore you swerve and bust ya forehead, go 'head, go 'head
[01:54.06] More head for me, while you ride to the beat
[01:56.20] Drop, like Tears, like For Fears, you know
[01:58.57] Shout, shout let it all out, just for my peers
[02:00.58] And pupils who feel like it's time to unwind
[02:02.31] Like December 31st, on 1999
[02:04.17] Touched by the wheelz of steel
[02:06.69]
[02:12.40] Now show me how you feel
[02:15.64]
[02:21.26] Touched by the wheelz of steel
[02:24.13]
[02:29.75] Now show me how you feel
[02:36.35] Okay, like this, yeah, yeah
[02:39.48] One time for my boy doing King shit
[02:41.77] Two times, too legit and it don't quit
[02:43.94] Three times for my folks in the drop top
[02:46.07] Four times, OutKast and it don't stop
[02:48.17] One time for my girls doing Queen thangs
[02:50.28] Dead fresh to the T, eatin' chicken wings
[02:52.43] Three times for my girls in the beauty shop
[02:54.43] Four times, OutKast and it don't stop
[02:56.55]
[03:38.59] Touched by the wheelz of steel
[03:41.27]
[03:47.07] Now, show me how you feel
[03:50.21]
[03:55.63] Touched by the wheelz of steel
[03:58.57]
