ERL.B Lyrics

What's up Baby
Opening line of the song

This Big Jesse coming to you live
Introducing self as Big Jesse, speaking live through the song

I know you like it
Acknowledging the listener's interest in the song

Right
Expression of affirmation and agreement

I know you a day old
Referring to the listener as new or fresh to the scene

With the things that you want
Referring to the listener's desires and wishes

You at home (Yeah)
Assuming that the listener is at home

With no telephone (Yeah)
Implying that the listener is not easily reachable

That's a 404 (Yeah, yeah)
Using internet terminology to say that the listener is unreachable or out of reach

That just mean I gotta watch ya (Watch ya)
Implying that the artist needs to keep an eye on the listener

So you might as well
Encouraging the listener to engage with the singer

Gone wave hey to yo new neighbor (Hey, hey)
Encouraging the listener to greet the artist as a new neighbor

Heard you got sugar I need a favor
Asking the listener for help in obtaining sugar

Let me see if you sweet now and later
Playing on words to imply that the singer wants to test if the listener is sweet and if that sweetness will last

I just moved across the street (Street)
Sharing the singer's recent move to the listener's neighborhood

Hello, hello yeah nice to meet (Meet)
Formally greeting the listener and expressing pleasure in meeting them

You can say something bout my music
Inviting the listener to give their opinion on the artist's music

It don't matter (It don't matter)
Stating that the listener's opinion doesn't affect the singer

I got the speakers knocking
Expressing how the singer's music is loud and powerful

Keeping out the chatter (Out the chatter)
Suggesting that the music is so loud that it drowns out any other noise

I just wanna play with ya Medulla Oblongata (Oblongata)
Referencing the part of the brain responsible for many of the body's vital functions and expressing the desire to connect with the listener on a deeper level

Yeah, that brain (That brain)
Repeating the reference to the Medulla Oblongata

That top (That top) that head (That head)
Referring to the listener's head and brain again

That noggin, you get it (Yeah)
Slang for 'head', used to show that the artist understands the listener's intelligence

My cellphone go ting
Noticing the singer's phone vibrating or ringing

I don't see no ring baby (No ring)
Noticing that there is no indication that the listener is already in a relationship

I'm licking it clean
Imagery of the singer licking something clean, but without clear meaning in this context

That's all for the Queen baby (You're my Queen)
Calling the listener a queen and giving them something as a gift or reward

I'm making it cream yeah (It's creaming)
Referring to creating a liquid or cream-like substance, but again without clear meaning in context

Just like yo dreams baby (You dreaming)
Suggesting that the singer's actions are fulfilling the listener's dreams or desires

Strike yo pose, lean
Encouraging the listener to pose or posture themselves in a certain way

Then put on yo jeans baby
Encouraging the listener to put on pants or get dressed

You look like my new Sugar Baby (Sugar Baby)
Addressing the listener as a sugar baby, implying that the artist will provide for them

Damn I miss my aunt Sugar Baby (Sugar Baby)
Referencing a person or past time that the artist misses, which may or may not be related to sugar babies

Gone head do yo thing Sugar Baby (Sugar Baby)
Encouraging the listener to do what makes them feel good, in the context of being a sugar baby

Gone Sugar Baby (Sugar Baby)
Encouraging the listener to be proactive and take action on their desired sugar baby lifestyle
