[Intro: Nelly]
Can I get a hey hey?
I get a ho ho
Can I get a hey hey?
I get a ho ho
[Verse 1: Murphy Lee]
The yellow Benz or the red Navi'
Iny, miny, ony, mo
That's the way I pick when I'm ready to roll
Murph Dert got the limos wit his vehicles
(Yeah that's the way it go when you got money to blow)
Ho! well then, say no mo'
Just think, I was on my way to the sto'
I got scratched but I don't got nails
Got my own truck but I want to drive trails
Plus I won a house in ATL and that depends on my sales
And I'm tryin' to get a mil before my album hit the shelves
And I ain't talkin' bout no signin' bonus (uh-uh)
'Tics went platinum to remind ya homey
I'm not a restroom so ain't no need to stall
I don't run or walk now so I can give it to em all
[Hook: Nelly]
Say hold up, wait a minute
Lemme put some pimpin' in it
Now, big booty I'm recommendin'
And I ain't been in this spot for a minute
Say hold up, wait a minute
She want to get derrty wit it
Now, baby girl want to handle her business
So I guess we'll be back when we finish
I don't want to leave by myself
(Boy, you ain't gotta leave by yoself)
Ooh.. Shiit, Taxi!
[Verse 2: Murphy Lee]
[Verse Two] I call her back from an earlier week
4 in the mornin' they be like (Mm-mm nah I ain't asleep)
Career whore, stay on top of convenient stores
Get pictures of me in they Victoria Secret drawers
Keep summin hot on tour, couldn't keep anything hotter
Make sure they know before what is really in store
I adore the ones that call me Tohri, true story
I created hoodrats, so these new models bore me
See I load up the 7 wit 7's, for 8's I can't wait
9's be one time and Dimes we won't date
So now I got 11's and 12's
Wit at least 13 or 14 reasons why they fine as hell
I hit em up like Blu Cantrall
He-he-he-he-he-he-he-hell
I remember when you smashed the bail
I'm just a, derrty who can and you hatas stand out
I'm like the pie in the window, I'm just too damn hot
[Hook: Nelly]
Say hold up, wait a minute
Lemme put some pimpin' in it
Now, big booty I'm recommendin'
And I ain't been in this spot for a minute
Say hold up, wait a minute
She want to get derrty wit it
Now, baby girl want to handle her business
So I guess we'll be back when we finish
I don't want to leave by myself
(Boy, you ain't gotta leave by yoself)
Ooh..Shiit, Taxi!

Not you the one behind ya girl
I done spit 2 verses tryin' to find ya girl
And if you need a sex deal, lemme sign ya girl
Just give me your information
And I'll keep you in heavy rotation
I want to touch you wherre the sun don't shine
I got a watch but I don't got time
So if you wit it, then you wit that's good
'cause if you not then I could simply take you back to the hood
...Cuz I love my hoes
Pimpin' ain't easy but it's under control
I got a lot of shit in me but I'm a commode
Cell phone, arrea code overload

Said the MO's is off the hook and make em move they fanny

Lemme put some pimpin' in it
Now, big booty I'm recommendin'

The lyrics to the song "Hold Up" by Murphy Lee featuring Nelly present a narrative of monetary and sexual conquests. In the verses, Murphy Lee boasts about his vast collection of cars, limos, and his ATL house. He takes pride in setting aside some of his wealth to specifically own off-roading trucks. He also speaks of having "won a house" and hoping to realize a million dollars before the release of his album. Murphy Lee makes it clear that he is not interested in signing bonuses from record labels but counting on his earned sales. All these statements demonstrate his love for luxury and indicates his greed and ambition.
In the chorus, Nelly (and Murphy Lee) offer to put "some pimpin'" in their conversations with their potential and present sexual partners. They emphasize their love for women with big booties and remind them that "they ain't been in this spot for a minute," signifying their experience in the game. The third verse is a continuation of the second, where Murphy Lee expresses his prowess as a pimp, expresses interest in signing deals for sexual services, and also reaffirms his love for women that he refers to as hoes.

Music was fun back then
@SoulKidVids
When Life felt like you were in another Dimension and Music Videos had LIFE and COLOR and SOUL to them. The 90s & Early 2000s was the Golden/Silver age era when the realms were touched by the Heavens(God). This is when the Silver age was starting to fade away. Makes me think of waking up in the morning to those nice Sunny Summer days with Blue Skies and Fresh Summer Breeze Air and people playing outside in their Swimming Pools. Seemed like the Sun always Shined these days. Good times....
