Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus]
Boy [Repeat: x4]

[Nelly]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
So you the kang boy
How could this be boy
You gotta be blind to sell more records than me boy

I can't complain boy

Don't say my name boy
I'm like a run away slave I'm off the chain boy
I'm bout' to jet boy
Straight flex boy

I'm about to round princess cut and baguette boy
Don't disrespect boy
I'll break your neck boy
I got niggas that sherm it up and get wet boy

We driving vets and Bentley coupes boy
I ain't lying check my garage, I tell the truth boy
I do it big boy
You do it small boy

I do some shit that you can't even do at all boy
Platinum tooth boy
Make it two boy
Come to the crib you can bowl, swim, or hoop boy

Big rule boy
What are you doing in me yard
You can run two miles and you still in my yard

[Chorus]

[Big Gipp]
Quarter Quarters Nickels Dollars Dimes every time boy
Butterfly my 84', fly first class boy
Dipping through the hood candy coated paint boy
Triple zero dope sacks no tax boy

You walk fast, well I slow-poke boy
You grip the leather, well I grip oak boy
I keep a crease in my Dickies when I corner hang
I love to sip champagne, funny ass names

Ladies love to see me Gucci or many of poochie
Love to see me in the gazelles to King Louis'
Shingles hanging from the end of my pants boy
They love to see me do the old man dance boy

I smoke plenty grass boy
I'm touching on the ass boy
Go ahead and Sir Mix-A-Lot put it on the glass boy
I'm from the South boy

That's how it go boy
We like to see em' drop it down
And touch they toes boy

[Chorus]

Lil Flipper

[Lil' Flip]
I flip tracks boy
Like crack boy
I got that 62 inch Maybach boy

Two tone boy
Lets get it on boy
My money long boy
Now we smoking zones boy

Come take a hit boy
We got the shit boy
My big clover cost the price of ten bricks boy
I'm from the South boy

Don't run your mouth boy
Cause I'll have Al Capone at your house boy
Pull up in my drop top, you like boy
To you it's a Bentley, to me it's a toy

I'm like a pimp boy
I ride spinners boy
I'm hopping out with 3000 dollar tennis boy
Come take a look at me

I'm off the chain boy
The game over, bitch, you know my name boy
I'm Lil Flip boy
A Clover G boy
You better free Will Lean and Pimp see boy

[Chorus: Repeats]

Overall Meaning

The song "Boy" by Nelly, Big Gipp, and Lil' Flip is a boastful track where each artist takes turns bragging about their success and wealth.

He compares himself to a runaway slave and boasts about his jewelry, cars, and ability to "do it big."

Big Gipp's verse is similarly focused on material wealth, but he also references his community and how they love to see him "do the old man dance." He boasts about his style and how he loves to sip champagne. However, he also references smoking weed and touching women inappropriately, which paints him as less admirable than Nelly's verse.

Lil' Flip's verse continues the focus on wealth, including his Maybach and expensive clothes. He boasts about his ability to "flip tracks like crack" and his association with the Clover Gs. He references other prominent rappers like Pimp C and Will Lean, and tells others not to run their mouth or they may face consequences.
