About Elevator

"Elevator" is Flo Rida's overall second single (after "Low", which was from the soundtrack of the 2008 movie Step Up 2: The Streets), and the first single from Flo Rida's debut album Mail on Sunday. It was produced by Timbaland, who also features on the track. The piano intro features a melody based on the Halloween theme by John Carpenter and the second verse imitates the chorus of "The Donque Song" by will.i.am featuring Snoop Dogg. The song features Timbaland's signature percussion and vocals, as well as former Beatclub recording artist Kiley Dean on the background vocals. The song is similar in structure, key, and rhythm to the Timbaland-produced "4 Minutes" by Madonna featuring Justin Timberlake and Timbaland. The song was featured in the plot for the episode "Desperately Seeking Serena" of teen drama Gossip Girl.

Money cash flow all big faced honeys

Shorty got both broke can't see what's comin'
Wear them apple bottoms, wear them apple bottoms honey

See the carrots on her wrist now she pimps bugs bunny
Used to date Kanye now she want me
While I got my juice wanna take my OJ
It ain't her birthday with her name on a cake
If I ever play for grade A

Got you stuck on my

Third floor, stuck on the hood rat
Fourth floor, freak it I don't know cause

[Chorus]

My third floor stuck on the hood rat charm
Cut, take boy Holly-hood act charm
Short tennis skirt, now she got me in the zone
Tight broach, bump the low ring tone
Then the ghetto booty gotta ghetto booty on her
Roll up cities don't smoke Arizona
One night stand one night with the clan
One night, one time broke her off 10 grand
Project all the way gutter all day

Shorty don't fake she'll put it in your face
Three stories while them hood rats beg

Got you stuck on my
On my elevator
Get it up, on my elevator
Check it out!

[Chorus]
