You
André 3000 Feat. Lloyd & Nas Lyrics

I said, "What time you get off?"
I asked her when she gets off work

She said, "When you get me off"
She responded with a flirtatious answer, implying she wants him to please her sexually

I kinda laughed but it turned into a cough
He laughed at her reply, but it made him choke

'Cause I swallowed down the wrong pipe
He swallowed something and it went down the wrong tube, causing him to choke

'Whatever that mean, you know old people say it so it sounds right
He doesn't know what 'swallowed down the wrong pipe' means but knows old people say it so it sounds appropriate

So I'm standing there embarrassed, if we were both in Paris
He felt embarrassed after joking and choking, wishing the situation wasn't happening

I would have grabbed her by the waist and kissed her, but
He wanted to kiss her passionately in a romantic setting, but they were in a public place

We in the middle of whole foods, and those foods
They were in a supermarket called Whole Foods, which sells organic food and beverages

Ain't supposed to beef, but you'd think they hated tofu
The supermarket is known for selling healthier food options, such as tofu, but there were conflicts or tensions in the store

Check-in line got rowdy, my vision got cloudy
The lines in the supermarket were chaotic, which made him overwhelmed and dizzy

I started seeing circles like some Audi emblem
He began to see things spinning around him, comparing it to the spinning logo of an Audi car

I'm hearing them say, come on man
He heard people telling him to hurry up or get out of the way

Do this own your own time, get the hell on, man
They were telling him to do his shopping later and not block the aisle, so he should leave the area

I walked out, hm, I got bout
He left the store, feeling bothered and frustrated

Half-way to my car when I heard shorty shout
Halfway to his car, he heard someone calling him by his nickname

"Three thousand, forgot your credit card, smart move
The person was telling him that he left his credit card behind

By the way, my little sister loves your cartoon"
The person's sister loves his animated show

Well, here's my name and numb
He gives her his name and number

If I ain't the one, lose it, if I am, use it
He tells her to discard his information if he's not the right person but use it if he is

If a man chooses, and he can, do's it
A man has the right to make his own decisions

And he don't, don't take it personal, he might be might be swamped
If a man doesn't follow through, it's not necessarily because of personal reasons, but he may be preoccupied

With making mozzarella, no, making worlds better
The man might be busy improving the world and not focused on making money

Cheese will come, believe me, I'm, never focused on the cash
Money will come eventually, and he is not obsessed with it

Ask Mel Gibson, Jesus Christ, I'm bout the pass, ion
He refers to himself as a spiritual person, mentioning the church sacrament of Communion, and says to ask Mel Gibson, a Christian actor, about it

Stop, baby bring that thang back
He tells the woman to stop and return to him

You know where my heart at
She knows he truly cares about her

Shorty, show your boy some love
He is requesting affection from her

'Cause I'm about to lose it
He is desperate for her attention

With the way you move it
He is impressed by how she dances or walks

It's been making me do it
Her movements make him act impulsively

Girl tell me what it do
He wants to know what's next for them

I'll change the game for you
He will make an effort to alter his ways for her

I'm a player, yes it's true, but
He has a reputation of being a womanizer, but it doesn't mean he can't commit to someone special

Can I be for real?
He asks if he can be honest and genuine

This is how I feel
He expresses his heartfelt emotions

I'm in need of love
He admits that he wants and craves love

So let's dip up out of here
He suggests leaving the place and spending time together elsewhere

Ooh, you just my type
He reveals that she is the kind of person he's interested in

Everything's so right
The situation with her feels perfect to him

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
A part of the chorus

She's fine too, but I want you
He acknowledges that other women are attractive, but he desires her

I'll admit it, this just ain't no game
He admits that he's serious and that this isn't just a game for him

These just ain't words that I'm spittin'
He emphasizes that these are genuine feelings he's expressing, not just words he's saying

If you could see the thoughts that's in my head
He wishes that she could read his mind and see how he truly feels

I'm trippin', I'm a player yea it's true
He's having trouble processing his emotions and acknowledges again that he tends to be a womanizer

But I'll change the game for you
He reiterates that he will alter his ways for her

ooh
An interjection

Yeah, Nas be in the crib low, strip pollin' it
Nas is at home relaxing and enjoying himself, possibly watching strippers

Cold Guinness, bitter taste, slim waist, I'm gon' hit it
He's drinking Guinness beer, which has a bitter taste, and admires a woman with a slim waist who he desires to have sex with

We low-key baby, like a baritone
They are keeping their relationship on the down-low like a low-pitched voice in music

Apple computer, e-mail me to come screw ya
He's using an Apple computer and receiving emails from women he's had sex with or those who want to have sex with him

Run through ya, undo ya bra, gimme medulla, uh
He will have sex with her, undress her, and wants to give her an orgasm

Ya cute as a movie star, in sin city, Hennessey, my love slave
He compliments her beauty, relates her to a movie star, and would like to make her his girlfriend

Lovin' is pimpin', no rest have, with none of 'em
He equates love to pimping, getting little to no rest, none of it is easy

I would leave every one of em, you just say it
He says he would leave all his other partners if she agrees to be with him

Just leave it the way it is, he ain't aware that sleepin' dogs lie
She advises him to let things remain as they are, and she will not confront her current partner about them being together

But keep a sharp eye on him, cause I'm the wrong guy
She warns him to be cautious since she is already in a relationship and he is not the right fit

To wanna put this four-five on em, let's get it on, ma
He wants to threaten her current partner with his weapon and have sex with her

You got my nose wide open
She has his full attention and attraction

You already locked down and rot down, but so delicious
She's already committed to someone but still desirable to him

If he get suspicious, bring up his old mistress
If her partner becomes suspicious of their relationship, she suggests bringing up his previous infidelity

I ain't dry-snitchin', but why should you be feelin' bad
He's not telling on her or giving her secrets away, and she shouldn't feel guilty for being with him

Cause I be killin' that, huh?
He's confident in his abilities to satisfy or please her sexually

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
A part of the chorus

She's fine too, but I want you
He asserts that there may be other women, but he desires her only
