Nelly Album

[Chorus: Nelly]
She got that ba-da-buh-da
Your girl ain't gotta know I hit ya last night
I was all over your body goin ba-da-buh-da
Dame be such a hottie
Yo she's lookin over here but she won't get it out me y'all
Shake it off, that's how you play it off
Shake it off, that's how you play it off
Not now, no you can't take it off
But play it off, she won't know a damn thing

[Nelly]
I play it off 'til it's played out
I had her motherfuckin ass on the couch, kinda laid out
She hittin them {?} gettin ate out
I know I'm spaced out (yeah) but the shit sound way out
So I had to take a playa out, switch up my whereabouts
Cause she was tryin to turn a playa out
And plus she know a nigga blazed out
And lil' mama gon' crack a window, let the haze out
She said she loves that stroke
Keep on her heels and her coat
Then she say she loves my moves
And the way I do, what I do
She got that ba-da-buh-da
Gotta make, sure, I don't get attached
That ba-da-buh-da
But it keeps, on, bringin me back

[Chorus]

[Nelly]
The Sun sick a triflin, so sick he have ya snifflin
Plus the chains like the nigga Slick Rick an' them
We had pick of them, strictly all dimensions and
Not to mentionin the Benjamins is thickenin
And now it's like a odyssey when she sayin hi to me
She eat the dick, then she cry when she gotta leave
Bye, bye, you gotta go now (yeah)
My girl, just, pulled up outside
She said she loves that stroke
Keep on her heels and her coat
Then she say she loves my moves
And the way I do, what I do
She got that ba-da-buh-da
Gotta make, sure, I don't get attached
That ba-da-buh-da
But it keeps, on, bringin me back

[Chorus]

[Nelly]
Just know the whole hood is lookin at you
So don't let your girl catch you
So have your story right, on how we met
Just have your story right, and don't never forget
You need your story right, cause she'll be upset
Her inner feelings'll be disrespect, but
She said she loves that stroke
Keep on her heels and her coat
Then she say she loves my moves
And the way I do, what I do
She got that ba-da-buh-da
Gotta make, sure, I don't get attached
That ba-da-buh-da
But it keeps, on, bringin me back

[Chorus]

[Nelly]
Story right
Just know the whole hood is lookin at you
Story right
So don't let your girl catch you

Ohh (Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen!)

Whoo! We don't normally do this

[Chorus: Jazze Pha]

City girls (go shorty, do your thing now)
Sexy girls (go shorty, do your thing now)
Pretty girls, ohh yeah

[Nelly]
I need that one that'll make ya heart stop when you see her
She can get a pick of the 'Llac or the Modena
I'll give it all from two to fo'-seaters
It ain't gotta be Halloween, I'm +trickin+ just to +treat+ her
Jealousy in the urr - other girls wanna be her
She young right now, she's an up-and-comin diva
She ain't gotta measure up, but she gotta be off the meter
But if I can dance with Cindy, I can dance with Shaquita
Cause I know I can, I shall, I will
I feels I can, I felt
I plays with a whole lotta mil's
You ain't talkin 'bout nothin if you ain't talkin 'bout dollar bills (hey!)
Shorty glow shine, so fine, you gotta keep her (hey!)
Pretty toed, half Black, half senorita (hey!)
Coochie so good, make it hard for you to leave her
I'm a playa so even if I'm losin I never cheat her, uhh

[Chorus w/ Nelly ad libs]

[T.I.]
Hey, hey
T.I.P. be off the meter when he sharp as a needle
In a new two-seater, pissin on niggaz ego
I don't wanna rap no mo', I'm CEO
No mo' menage-a-trois, the full trio
Three ho, get in they mind like Miss Cleo
You know, nigga try a hold like Judo (oh!)
I know a lot of nigga hot about me ('bout me)
I know you niggaz ain't forgot about me
I'm a shotter{?} with the O's and the dro
And the blow and the, Jag-o and get the clothes out the sto'
Anyway - I got a bottle of Mo' and X-O
And I'm lookin for a modelin ho, so let's go
Get it right - six nights, six flights, six shows (six shows)
Six checks, each one, six oh's (six oh's)
Six broads to choose, they six pros
Light-skinned Asian bitches with pink toes (okay)

[Chorus w/ Nelly ad libs]

[Jazze Pha + (Nelly)]
There's so many fly girls I've seen

[Nelly]
Uhh, uhh
Now I done been around the world TWICE, back again
Whoever thought I'd be twenty times plat-inum
Whoever thought I'd have jewels but I lack a gem
I done dealt with plenty dimes, but I lack the ten
A New York chick, I met her through the fashion biz
And we be doin them type of thangs - you can't imagine shit
She be bitin and screamin cause she's so passionate
Shorty got blue eyes but she African [echoes]
Talkin 'bout.

[Chorus w/ Nelly ad libs]

[Nelly]
Yeah! We wanna thank all the ladies for comin out tonight

Or maybe you just runnin to the grocery sto' in your house shoes

OH!

[Jazze Pha + (Nelly)]

And Laverne and Shirrrrl - hey, hey
I gotta get me a girl - I gotta get me a girl

[Nelly]
I used to pride myself on being the other man
But now it's flipped and I don't want you with no other man
Why can't you understand anything I'm offering
I gave you the world, but you just wanted arguing
From the time I picked you up, until the time I dropped you off again
Even flipped out on me at the mall again
It's all his fault again that's what you tellin all ya friends
I ain't pointing fingers ma, i just wanna call again
See how ya day going I know they stressin on ya
I know them times get hard that's why I'm checkin on ya
It's yours truly ma, I got little message for ya
Anything he can do, girl I can do better for ya
Cause

Hook: [Nelly]
When we laugh or we cry it's together
Through the rain and the stormiest weather
We gon still be as one it's forever, it's forever

Chorus: [Jaheim]
Won't you come on and go with me (oh girl)
Come on over to my place
Won't you sit ya self down and take a seat
and let me ease ya mind girl
We gon do it our way (our way)

[Nelly]
I heard your friend tell a friend that told a friend of mine
That you was thinking that we should do it one more time
If this ain't the truth then hopefully it's not a lie
Cause I ain't got no issue with hitting that another time
We never had a problem with gettin it done
Disagreed upon a lot ma, but the sex wouldn't one
Now check it I know you get excited (Still) when I come around and bite it (gurl)

Quit frownin up and quit actin like you don't like it

I like it (I know you like), I like it (You really like it), I really, really
like it,
I want it (You really want it), adore it (adore it), so come with me enjoy it

Chorus: [Jaheim]
Won't you come on and go with me (oh girl)
Come on over to my place
Won't you sit ya self down and take a seat

We gon do it our way (our way)

Bridge: [Nelly]
Shawty where you been
Feels like a long time, long long time since I seen ya
Yes it has girl, and I know I said some Fucked up things to you before
But girl you know I didn't mean it
I didn't mean one single word
I never meant one single word
If I could take back every word I would and more fa sho
If I thought that you believe it
Cause you make my life so convenient for me

Hook: [Nelly]
When we laugh or we cry it's together
Through the rain and the stormiest weather

She said her name was (paradise)
Thats what she said to me
She said (paradise)
Thats what she said it would be
Cuz she, the finest women that ive ever did see
And not to mention how she looked in them jeans

She said her name was (paradise)
Thats what she said to me
She said (paradise)
Thats what she said it would be
Cuz she was, the definition of a ghetto queen
And you should see that apple bottom in jeans

I met her on a sunday, one day
She walkin down the runway
5'5''
So fine what the fuck im gon say
And i just sit imtiently just waiting my turn
Waiting for my perfect chance so i can spit out my words
I think she openly spokenly damn i hope she notices me
Hopefully she go for me
So she on the boat with me
And ima take her places she can never imagine
Like water ski'in in costa rica
With snow mobiling in aspen
She prefare the cold
Winter, snow
And do shit like the tropical
Am i dreamin let me know
Tell me is it possible
That i could be the one she in search for a man
And she could be that one that end my search for romance
No time to slack now, act now, ima bout to crack now, i put my rap down, mack
down,
Aint no turning back now
I got the this feeling that she feelin the same
About to end this feeling games and just ask her her name

[Hook:]

So the next day monday
Im riding down the freeway
Hit her on the 2 way
Im like what you doing tuesday
She said that she was free anytime after 3
And every second after that will be reserved for me
I said thats good to know say no mo'
Ill be there around 4
Around 4 that fo' do
Phantom at your front door
You can take it for a ride
Keep it in papas sake
Debate it at fate and the
Reservations at 8
And after dinner, shampagne, walks along the beaches
With the moonlight shines on ya features
And i cant create the words to explain myself
My temtation to feel ya body
Temtation to kiss them curves
One kiss two kiss she all on my neck now
Three kiss four kiss im all on her neck now that
Temperatures rising
Hips and thighs coming
Hynotizing man i dont wanna stop
It feels like

[Hook:]

They dont understand me because i really dont understand myself
I cant live with out (my girl)
Paradise is mine mayne
Anywhere and time mayne
She gon hold it down cuz she (my girl)
She love me she love me not
She love me to be on top
She love daddy to spank her cuz she (my girl)
And if you got ne doubts just ask when you see me out
Ill tell you who im talken bout

(feat. Snoop Dogg, Ron Isley)

[Ron Isley]
HOOO! Hooooooo
Well well well.. yeahhhh

[Chorus: R. Isley]
There's this girl, AND, I see her every day
But she don't know me (she don't know my name)
And it ain't all that strange to me
Cause I know hers, AND, it won't be long
'til she's convinced that I'm her man
The one that's gon' take her away

[Nelly]
Yo, yo, yo
Hey yo it's three in the mornin and the party's still goin
Bass still knockin, +Pimp Juice+ still flowin
'Tics in the back, you can smell the chronic blowin
I got girls all around, I got my Hef' game goin
Baby girl right but her partner got ass
Baby girl left but her partner got ass
She got 'em stuffed in them boy shorts covered up with lil' hearts
Her partner got 'em laced, cut right below the waist
You can tell they got taste by they ensemble
One like to salsa, the other the mambo
Why settle for one when I can have the combo?
Why do Cancun when I can go to Cabo?
They like to work out, and I ain't talkin Tae*Bo
They like fast cars, I ain't talkin Volvos
They both are the devil but they like it diablo
Don't worry got it covered just listen to Ronald

[Chorus]

[Snoop Dogg]
Hmm, she say them suckers agitate her, told her I'm a regulator
Man I wanna lay down witcha, maybe we can do it later
I ain't got no time to waste, another move I got to make
Cold thang, she ain't even know my nizzame (damn)
I didn't even have to say it, baby wanna stop and play it
Rewind that, pop and grind that
You'll find that, a woman like yourself can't keep cumin by yourself
Get in where you fit in, now enjoy yourself
Cute brightskin brownskin take me to the mountain
Get you wet like a fountain
Then get your counselin, have a seat have a drink have a toke
It's a +Doggy Dogg World+, you can have whatever you want
... or whatever you need, all you got to do it follow my lead
Take my hand, and roll with me
And live it up, with a D-O-double-G, lavishly

[Chorus]

[Ron Isley]
Hey girl, what's yo' fantasy?
Can I take you home? I want you here with me
Ooh girl you blow my mind, I want to be yo' freak
Let me take you there, to that ecstasy, hoo
Oooooooooooh ba-by, ba-by
Gotta get you home with me tonight
Oh oh oh oh ohhhhhhhh, what's your name?
What's your name? Gotta get you home with me tonight dear

[Chorus w/ ad libs]

Yeah, Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah, Let's Go

[Chorus]
Ha ha ha ha ha ohhhhhhhh
N dey say ohhhhhh ohh ohhhhhhhh
Ha ha ha ha ha ohhhhhhh

Hold up stop now let me get a look at ya,
Damn girl I ain't seen you since prom,
Come to think about it I can't believe its been that long,
I heard your man locked down now how long he gone.... Oh dat long
How the hell he get time like that?
Three strikes with possession, aww he ain't comin back,
He left you with 2 kids and bills all around,
Plus you found out he had another chick cross-town,
It's always the darkness right before the sun rises
And you gotta stay strong for the kids in their eyes and
Please don't despise and go against all brothers and
have a hatred in your heart and take it out on another,
I hate to sound Tupacish now momma but keep your head up,
But you gon' make it I promise you keep your head up
And that, that don't kill you only makes you stronger
And the will to succeed will only feed the hunger, Fo' Reel (Fo' Reel, Fo' Reel)

[Chorus]
Ha ha ha ha ha ohhhhhhhh
N dey say ohhhhhh ohh ohhhhhhhh
Ha ha ha ha ha ohhhhhhh
N dey say ohhhhh oh ohh

I was at the gas station and a man walked past
With his sign will work for food, clothes or cash
and he asked if he could pump my gas, so I let him
Clean the windshield and throw out the trash, so I let him (Hey)
I even asked a brother his name, where he was from, got kids man and what's
their ages
He kinda stuttered for a second, he kinda looked surprised that anyone would
even take an
interest in his life
He said young brother dem the only words I done heard in the last year that
wasn't no
or get the fuck away from herrre
How could somthin so simple as general conversation
Mean much more than general conversation? (Hey)
You could tell life had beaten him down
Like he was in the title fight and this might be his last round
Sometimes the easiest things we take for granted
Until they gone, then realise we even had it, Fo' Reel (Fo' Reel, Fo' Reel)

[Chorus]
Ha ha ha ha ha ohhhhhhhh
N dey say ohhhhhh ohh ohhhhhhhh
Ha ha ha ha ha ohhhhhhh
N dey say ohhhhh oh ohhhhh

I used to think that life had a plan for me
Until I realised life had to be planned by me, see that's the key
I only deal with what I can see cause over history, mystery brought us nothin
but misery
Man more people done died in the name of the lord
Than in any natural disaster, disease or gangwars
Before guns there was swords and they was killin each other
and what's changed to this day still killin each other
Killin a brother while another mother cries for help
Man! we need to help a brother find themself
Feed em light 1, 2, 3
Hey! that's something every brother should see and that's Fo' Reel,
and that's Fo' Reel, and that's Fo' Reel

[Chorus]
Ha ha ha ha ha ohhhhhhhh
N dey say ohhhhhh ohh ohhhhhhhh
Ha ha ha ha ha ohhhhhhh
N dey say ohhhhh ohhh ohh

[Chorus]
Ha ha ha ha ha ohhhhhhhh
N dey say ohhhhhh ohh ohhhhhhhh
Ha ha ha ha ha ohhhhhhh
N dey say ohhhhh ohhh ohh

[Chorus]
Ha ha ha ha ha ohhhhhhhh

And I can't take it yeah I can't shake it

Want to see if you still got that look in your eyes
That one you had for me before we said our goodbyes
And it's a shame that we got to spend our time
Being mad about the same things
Over and over again
About the same things
Over and over again

Cause its on in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can't take it I can't shake it
Nooo

Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can't keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its on in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can't take it I can't shake it
Nooo

Over and Over again
Over and Over again

IIIIIIIII didn't know, there'd be troubles along the way
Nobody told me nothin, nobody told me nothin, nothin
Well, well, ohh, ohhhh, ohhhhhh, oahh-ohhhh
Well, ay-heyyy, ay-hey, we-ell
Uh-huh, uh-huh-huh, uh-huh-huh, uh-huh-huh

[Nelly]
I went through, 8 different schools in, 12 different years
That's 30 different teachers, over ten thousand different peers
And I done fought in e'ryone, been suspended e'rytime
Besides a few a felony, done committed e'ry crime
But never braggin on, just want you to see me what I done done
I'm never proud of it, so I don't have to go back there again
And uhh, I used to go like house to house (man)
Sleepin on couch to couch (you know)
Walk around stickin out my hands, lookin for a handout
Only thing I handed out was more bills
Only thing pulled me out was my will
God told me the sun don't chill
Determined to make use of one of these skills
Either that or go beat the block
Ain't no way you can beat the cops
Ain't no way I can beat the clock
Just a matter of time shut down your shop
Ohh, you stay up day and nights, livin this way of life
I was +Young and Restless+
+All My Children+ came and then I had a +Guiding Light+ (hey)
No more of that sittin mayne (c'mon) sittin and waitin
and thinkin somebody comin to take me up off them streets
But now I know..

[Chorus - Anthony Hamilton]
Nobody told me that the road would be easy, yeah
I don't believe, I've made it this far
My whole life, man I've been workin so hard and I know
Nobody told me that the road would be easy (Whoaaaaaa, that the road)
I can't believe, I've made it this far (Whoo, yeahhh)
My whole life, man I've been workin so hard and I know

[Nelly]
I can tell you right now, I'm sayin
I could sit here and count on one hand
How many people seen me graduate
I know a few that did but a bunch that ain't (hey)
Same folks showin up in swarms, waitin for me to go on
Wantin to see Ali perform, wasn't so po' before
I became this household name
I was playin them Little League games
Nobody curred if I go 0-for-3
Nobody out hurr rootin for me but my Momma
Supported me in e'rything, "Why she get e'rything?"
Some people got the nerve to ask
Y'all can kiss my ass, and that's my Momma
Got a sister that need my help (hey) and I gave peace all with wealth
Give anything that I have, just to see her in perfect health
Now we out hurr complainin, "I got work to do" (ohh)
How bad you think you got it, somebody else got it worse than you (hey)
I done had them down and ups and, don't plan on comin back down (no)
Don't plan on leavin hurr no time soon, but I got too comfortable now
Wouldn't have no knowledge of wealth, without no knowledge of self
And I'ma keep walkin this road - my mind, body and soul
I know [echoes]

[Chorus]

[Anthony Hamilton]
I didn't knowwwww
There'd be troubles along the way (I didn't know there'd be troubles)
Nobody told me nothin (nobody told me nothin)
That would help me to ease my pain (to help ease my pain, yeah)
I've been walkin this roooooad, for forever and a day (forever and a day)
Now I've been searchin somethin (whoa-ohhh)
For someone to help me find my way (somebody help me, find my way)
And now I know

You, dontcha know i'd die for ya
I'd lay down my life for ya (i would, die for)
You, dontcha know i'd die for ya
I'd lay down my life for ya (i would, die for, you)

I remember feburary 27 1994
Tryin to make it to the hospital through 3 inches of snow
Somethings goin wrong i can tell but i dont know
I got this feelin in my gut this aint how i supposed 2 go
3 pounds 2 ounces and 2 months premature
To the incubator is she gon make it they aint sure
Automatically i placed the blame on my health
Hell im a father mayne, i placed the blame on myself
Was it somethin that i smoked, did i eat or did i drink it
Or was it somethin i was doin that i did or did i think it
Watchin her breathe through her holes in her nose
Whats this ckg machine, wats this shit on her toes
This 94 im 85 so im spooked as can be
Im prayin and im askin why he do this to me
See, i used to hold you in the palm of my hand
And jus to see you pull through, shit i knew you'd pull through

You, dontcha know i'd die for ya
I'd lay down my life for ya (i would, die for)
You, dontcha know i'd die for ya
I'd lay down my life for ya (i would, die for, you)

March the 2nd, 1999
The yurrr and the date i got my little mine
I guess i felt how my father felt and his father felt
And his father must have felt to see hiself
Its like a lil me in the flesh
He got my blood and my heart in his chest
Needless to say man i love him to death
Teach him if he disrespect me im'a love him to death
Left to go outa town right after he was born
Got a record deal 3 months later, daddy was gone
Its like im tryin to raise him over the phone
He barely kno my face when he see it but he know my tone
Im up at night like do he know who his daddy is
Im real close to sayin fuck the showbiz
But when i hurr him call his daddy na
And when i hurr him tell his friends i wanna be jus like my daddy na
Hope he forgive me for the sacrifice
So he can have a better life, than i had

You, dontcha know i'd die for ya
I'd lay down my life for ya (i would, die for)
You, dontcha know i'd die for ya
I'd lay down my life for ya (i would, die for)
You, dontcha know i'd die for ya
I'd lay down my life for ya (i would, die for)
You, dontcha know i'd die for ya
