Shades
Diddy & Dirty Money Lyrics

Uh, before you get here, Put yo panties in yo pocketbook That's what I told her, over the Motorola Hennessy and Cola
Lil Wayne tells his girl to put her panties in her pocketbook before she comes over. He communicates this message over the phone while drinking Hennessy and cola

I hold her, at attention with my manors And even though I don't roll a camera She still performs Like the superstar, she truly are So, also I think I love her already Damn, I think I, already She must be the one I look in her eyes and see the sun Even on rainy days, ain't it Crazy Mayne, yeah, that's what I said She do doughnuts in my head Over and over, and over Til the cops pull her over And then she say some real slick shit like "I'm on my way from Weezy Baby" And of course they let her go
Lil Wayne holds his girl's attention with his charm while not filming her. He thinks he already loves her and sees her as the sun on rainy days. She is always on his mind even when she is making reckless decisions. She tells the cops that she's on her way from Weezy Baby and it works

I know I got a lot of baggage Its for the ladies and Mercedes And I know that it's heavy But I pray that someone will grab it for me I know I got a lot of baggage Full of Chanel's and Tiffany's and broken hearts girl You need me baby its hard to break a habit For me yeah
Justin Timberlake acknowledges that he has emotional baggage that is heavy and full of material possessions, but he hopes someone will understand and support him. He says that trying to break the habit of needing someone is hard for him

And girl if you want I pour a gallon of gasoline on my heart Just to light your cigarette Girl if you want (I'll do anything for you) I'll do anything for you (I'll even take off my shades) I'll even take off my shades And stare right at the sun from the stage (I'll even try different things) I'll even try different things I'll make love to you on marmalade (never made love on marmalade) I'll even change my name, name What you say (I'll be what ever you say) I'll be what ever you say I'll even try different things I'll make love to you on marmalade (Are you sure that's what you want to do) If that's what you want to do
Diddy tells his girl that he will do anything for her, even pouring gasoline on his heart to light her cigarette, taking off his shades and staring into the sun, trying new things like making love on marmalade, and changing his name. He is willing to be anything she wants, but he questions if making love on marmalade is really what she wants

Got a lot of baggage its full of shades Different shades And I'm sharp as a razor that's why I have to brand it You talking bout me (you talking bout me) Listen to me I know I got a lot of baggage Its full of promises that why I keep a lock on it I promise girl I'm trying to make it happen for me And you babe Now girl if you wanna pour a gallon of gasoline on my heart And light it if you get lonely If you call me Girl if you call me If you want me I'm ready when you are just tell me you want me
Diddy has a lot of emotional baggage which is symbolized by his collection of different shades. He is careful with it because he knows how sharp he is. He acknowledges that he has made promises and is trying his best to make them happen. He tells his girl that he is ready for her whenever she wants him and she just has to call

Black grey white If I pull down these shades would I sound too bright Get it, sound too right Maybe I'm just feeling myself because “flashing lights come from everywhere” And you can feel that somethings blowing in the air tonight Now if you need that fire I'll be that propane If you need it wet I'll make it pour rain But maybe I wont Maybe you just have to take it Go ahead pretend I'm a drug Now let me see you shake it I can read your mind, read your mind, Professor X We can press rewind, press rewind, VHS Speaking of the past, its so futuristic behind ya Let me fill up your plate and dish it out, dish it out, China I'mma bend yo body, bend yo body, Magneto Let me have my way, I'mma have my way, Carlito Now we can put in work, let me get my busy on for you You ain't never heard you talk like this It's got my Drizzy on for you
Justin Timberlake wonders if he sounds too confident if he pulls down his shades. He plays with words to say that he feels right. He references flashing lights and feels that something exciting will happen tonight. He says that he can be the fire or the rain for his girl. He encourages her to just take it and pretend he's a drug. He can read her mind like Professor X and they can rewind their interactions like a VHS tape. He says the past is so futuristic behind her. He is willing to do anything to please her, including bending her body like Magneto, having his way like Carlito, and putting in work for her

What you gonna do What you gonna do When I'm perfect for you Girl watch how its gon drive you crazy And love's gon turn you up baby Girl watch how its gon drive you crazy (repeated)
The chorus repeats the question of what the girl is going to do now that she has found someone perfect for her. She will go crazy with the love he gives her
