A promotional video was made for the track “Livin' Astro” which aired on a few episodes of the MTV show Amp in early 2000. The video features Kool Keith acting as several different personas amidst a sci-fi backdrop that resembles the Black Elvis/Lost in Space album cover. The personas include the Or...
[Intro]
Yeah
Every morning I wake up, lookin' in the mirror
I am the original Black Elvis
That's right, when you see me with my wig to the side
Wearin' my short leather jacket
Marilyn Monroe on my back
I'm livin' that life
I'm for real with this
That's what I think about
I like to tell my fans
[Verse 1]
I got my shades on, big rock star compared to Elvis
Signin' autographs for rappers while girls move they pelvis
Write songs strictly for Elton John or Lionel Richie
Call up my butler, get clothes washed by the maid
Ivory soap, dishes clean, feel like Cascade
I count the bills, roll through Detroit in Sedan DeVille's
I throw my skully on, big robe like Marvin Gaye
Step in the front row, primetime I move your way
Budweiser Fest soundcheck, demanding your respect
I come correct through the Metro, and turn y'all petrol
I'm up here early bitin' donuts, sippin' on espresso
While you sleep, I creep, gainin' ground by the week
Ampex reels, makin' phone calls, I'm closin' deals
I move with skill, ride through Philly streets and Cherry Hill
I'm doin' it well, I'm doin' it swell
Yeah
[Hook]
Flying saucers, spaceships move at warp speed
MTV level three when I fly on BET
Livin' astro, tell me how you feel
One two, one two
[Verse 2]
Movin roughly, straight to the desert, San Antonio
I talk swift the Rock King Black Romeo
I pack clubs, promoters put me out in Tokyo
Damage your area, I'mma launch a fierce missile
I roast fools, movin' butt like I'm toilet tissue
What is your issue? You over man, I don't miss you
Scottie soft, you play like Jan Van Breda Kolff
New Jersey Nets real man, you ain't no Darnell Hillman
Bald head like Slick Watts, I run rap like Mayor Koch
Forward your info while Tony Liu crank the Benzo
Move out your driveway while girls look, turn they eyeway
Jealous in fact, tryna rip the capes off my back
I move with timing, potential, through instrumentals
Y'all front on BET with slum gold, drivin' rentals
I get real dino, runnin' groups like a rhino
Endin' careers, that's my job, yo your rap is final
Cancel your in-stores, your new job is moppin' floors
Fixin tiles, stoppin' potholes up on the roof
You work for service no tips man I speak the truth
[Hook]
Flying saucers, spaceships move at warp speed
MTV level three when I fly on BET
Livin' astro, tell me how you feel
One two, one two
Flying saucers, spaceships move at warp speed
MTV level three when I fly on BET
Livin' astro, tell me how you feel
One two, one two, one two
[Verse 3]
Pull your hoods down, I bumrush your afterparty
Have your manager scared, the radio station saying sorry
Pack your bags, I move my luggage to the coliseum
Infinite prime piece with statues in the rock museum
Changin' my zones, drinkin' cocktails on cellular phones
I tour with Anthrax through Texas with the Rolling Stones
Booked by the agency, famous artists payin' me
Hotels with fly room with sneakers starin' at the moon
Mad atmosphere, ridin' first class on British Air
Lobster and steak, while y'all back in time, doin' remakes
I'm futuristic, nine-nine, to the year 4000
I make announcements, drop skills, then I bounce with
Fly young ladies, AMG kicks, two thousand Mercedes
Brand new models, only seen one in Colorado
Light green metallic in the Shark Bar, eatin' salad
Lorenzo wheels, valet park, shoppin' in Beverly Hills
Step up your wildest spaceship kid in the Plymouth Prowler
Comin' down
[Hook]
Flying saucers, spaceships move at warp speed
MTV level three when I fly on BET
Livin' astro, tell me how you feel
One two, one two
Flying saucers, spaceships move at warp speed
MTV level three when I fly on BET
Livin' astro, tell me how you feel
One two, one two
Flying saucers, spaceships move at warp speed
MTV level three when I fly on BET
Livin' astro, tell me how you feel
One two one two
