Alejandro Escovedo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ladies and gentlemen
Yes, sir
Let's do it
Yes, sir

Yo, on and on and my nuts, I'm palming
Take two of these and call me in the morning
You should see the way the chain heart is a charmin'
Flying like a bird like Nelly Furtado

Shit, pop ya bottles, toast and scream, cheers
Getcha two step ?'cause it's the record of the year
Nigga that brought you ice creams, two for a pair
Officially announcing this is warfare

'Cause back in the day my clouds was gray
And it seemed like my angels couldn't blow them away
But then I sold my first verse and copped that NSX
But I was still ridin' in them thin ass jets, but now

Man, my business so clear out the window of the Lear
And I'm talking on my celly, all this shit that you should hear
Listen clearly now
Hello, can you hear me now?

Can I have it like that?
You got it like that
Can I have it like that?
You got it like that

Can I have it like that?
You got it like that
Can I have it like that?
You got it like that

So, drop ya purse and grab ya hips
And act like ya tryin' to get this money right quick
So can I have it like that?
You got it like that
Can I have it like that?
You got it like that

On and on and this beat is zoning
I control they mind from straight over the phone and
Let 'em explore the words something like a tourist
And never get addicted unless the heady wop is serious

From Louisville to Jimmy Choos, he's real
She knows the time, she sees the Richard Mille
Flat double skeletal tour billion
It's just like her body move, it turns her on

She like the way my hands use her body for hand warmers
And all our car doors go up like transformers
See I can do it this away, I can do it that away
From the crib in Virginia to that new Miami getaway

So cool it like new edition unless you hot as you say
I'll get it, okay, let it boil away
But please run along, ?'cause ladies is feelin' wrong
And I got some right for 'em right after this song
My name is Skateboard P

Ladies and gentlemen

Can I have it like that?
You got it like that
Can I have it like that?
You got it like that

Can I have it like that?
You got it like that
Can I have it like that?
You got it like that

So, drop ya purse and grab ya hips
And act like ya tryin' to get this money right quick
So can I have it like that?
You got it like that
Can I have it like that?
You got it like that

On and on and the temperature's warming
I spit heat flashes, niggas get nauseous
Bright as a bitch, so analyze with caution
When the light hit the ice bet a one hundred that you vomit

Should I mention the fact the transition is the track?
New incision to the vision just to get me where I'm at
Lil' Skateboard he too grown
Riding up and down Collins in that new two-tone

It's so cold you don't wanna feel the chill of it
(Uh)
Just stand back and just look at the grill of it
(Uh)

I don't smoke but I bet the sensamill of it
It totally intensifies the vivid ass appeal of it

You can be jealous and grit ya teeth
But all these little niggas got something in reach
So, you want heat? These niggas can front heat
While on my boat party trying to sun seek
My name is Skateboard P

Ladies and gentlemen

Can I have it like that?
You got it like that
Can I have it like that?
You got it like that

Can I have it like that?
You got it like that
Can I have it like that?
You got it like that

So, drop ya purse and grab ya hips
And act like ya tryin' to get this money right quick
So can I have it like that?
You got it like that




Can I have it like that?
You got it like that

Overall Meaning

I believe these lyrics are not from Alejandro Escovedo's song "Don't Need You", but rather from Pharrell Williams' song "Can I Have It Like That". This song is an upbeat and energetic hip-hop tune with a few different themes explored throughout the lyrics.


The first verse begins with a boastful introduction, setting the tone for the song. Pharrell brags about his wealth and success, mentioning his jewelry and luxury vehicles. He paints himself as a powerful and confident figure with a lot of money to spend.


In the second verse, Pharrell shifts the focus to his sexual prowess, describing how easily he can control and manipulate women. He also mentions his celebrity status and how he's often mobbed by adoring female fans.


The chorus reinforces Pharrell's desire for material possessions and sexual conquest, urging listeners to "drop ya purse and grab ya hips" and give him what he wants.


Overall, the song can be interpreted as a celebration of hedonism and excess, with Pharrell using his charm, fame, and wealth to get whatever he wants.

Discussing important matters on a cellphone with others

Acknowledging maturity and success despite being young

Driving around in a flashy, high-end car in a specific area or locale

Being in a situation where the risks or outcomes are not favorable or favorable


Just stand back and just look at the grill of it
Appreciating the beauty and style of a car from a distance


I don't smoke but I bet the sensamill of it
Not being a smoker, but still appreciating the smell of marijuana


It totally intensifies the vivid ass appeal of it
Further enhancing the attractiveness and desirability of something


You can be jealous and grit ya teeth
Feeling envious or resentful towards someone's success or possessions


But all these little niggas got something in reach
Pointing out that others have the potential for success and achievement as well


So, you want heat? These niggas can front heat
