(Where have you been?)
Damn
Damn, girl, why didn't you tell me the elevator was broke?
(What took you so long?)
I had to climb 'bout three, four flights of steps, what's up?
(All I asked was to get the Nellyville CD) ayy, uh
Damn, yeah, I got it, I got it, I got it
(How hard was that?)
What? Why you actin' mad?
I'm the one running around looking for the album
(Because I've been in this apartment for a long time)
What you talkin' 'bout it took so long? (Waitin' on your ass)
I ain't been gone but, shoot, what? (I done watched Jenny Jones)
One, two, three hours? (Montel, Judge Judy)
I wasn't even gone for that long
(What? You had to go to St. Louis to get the motherfuckin' CD?)
Look, baby, look, I got it, just calm down, alright, calm down
(What was so hard about that?)
Look, just drink some champagne
(I don't want no damn champagne, where's is the Nellyville?)
Maybe later on, I hit that ass (whatever)

Everybody just chill out, you know what I mean? (Where's the CD?)
Yeah, I got the Nelly for you, yeah, I got it

You know, I hope you don't mind the clean version
(The clean version?) what?

Hey, that' alright
'Cause I hope your ass slip and fall down them stairs
You and your Gucci shoes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cedric the Entertainer's song "**** It Then" depict a situation where the singer's girlfriend has taken an incredibly long time to get a CD, which leaves the singer feeling impatient and frustrated. The conversation starts off innocently with the singer asking where his girlfriend has been. However, as it progresses, it becomes clear that the girlfriend took a lot of time to get the CD, and the singer is increasingly annoyed. The frustration culminates in a heated argument, with the singer becoming angry at the fact that his girlfriend only brought back the clean version of the CD.

The lyrics seem to touch on themes of communication and patience in a relationship. The singer is frustrated that his girlfriend took a long time to get the CD and is not very understanding when she explains why. The argument that follows shows how small annoyances can quickly escalate into more significant issues when communication and understanding are lacking. Ultimately, the lyrics suggest that relationships require patience, understanding, and effective communication to succeed.
