Black and Yellow Lyrics

Uh huh, you know what it is
Black and yellow [x4]
Uh huh, you know what it is
Black and yellow [x4]

Yeah, uh huh, you know what it is
Everything I do, I do it big
Yeah, uh huh, screaming that's nothing
What I pulled off the...

   He sings that everything he owns "from his whip(car) to his diamonds" are black and yellow in representation of Pittsburgh. Black and gold are the colors of the steelers, but also, the Pittsburgh Penguins and Pittsburgh Pirates. And for the person who said "it's his gangs colors," Taylor Gang is also representation of Pittsburgh. The high school he attended there was Taylor Allderdice. Same with fellow alumni artists Girl Talk, Mac Miller, etc. Basically, he's "reppin' his town everywhere he goes."

   It's the car. He made the song right after he got a black and yellow camoro. Plus, the steelers don't push to start with something. And the Pittsburgh thing is too complicated. Whiz sings about cabin fever and homicides. He's not that boring. I mean, who wants to listen to to a song about the steelers? So my point Is, whiz is too cool to do that. He also is cool enough to sing about a black and yellow camaro. The dialogue has no meaning to the steelers, but plenty of meaning towards the fact that it's a car.

   Black and Yellow (Legacy colors) are the symbol of a secretive subculture of Gamers playing The GAME. They are actors, posers, fakers, shills, thugs, bros, Goofies, Hoodwinkers, Tune Squad, Crisis Actors, hustlers, conmen and women. In essence, they are basically Sellouts. Willing to sell their Souls to get paid. It’s a risky lifestyle and BROs (Brotherhood/Best Reasonable Offer) keep the charade hush hush for fear because their contract is binded by blood and death. If their secret is to be revealed, the actor(s) will mysteriously die of an overdose, a fatal accident, or a suicide (mostly by hanging on a doorknob/symbolic to keep you silent).

    But, if you watch the video they are waving the terrible towel. Listen to the last verse while you're at it.

    The song is about Taylorgang and it does not talk about the Steelers at all... It is just about how he and his crew are ballers and he even says, "everybody I'm with Taylor", not tailored.
