Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you hear me out there
Lunatics, is y'all ready
Let me hear ya
I'ma sucker for cornrows and manicured toes (hey)
Fendi capri pants and Parasucos (alright)
Passadity city with one or two throws
Straight into the pro's, who knows I know
That I love it when you make your knees touch your elbows
And break it down low to the flow, there you go
Now throw it on me slow
And every time I bust a rhyme, baby give me some more
You say you like that, when I hit it from behind
And I'll be right back yea that's my very next line
I use it time after time, when I'm speaking my mind
It's no matter if I'm shooting game to a pigeon and dime
I ask you who that is, talking that shit about the 'tics
Somebody probably jealous 'cause they bitch got hit
But nobody else dropping shit like dis, should we apologize
Fuck 'em just leave 'em pissed hey
Andele andale moma E.I. E.I. uh oh
What's poppin tonight
Andele andale moma E.I. E.I. uh oh
If the head right nelly there every night
Andele andale moma E.I. E.I. uh oh
What's poppin tonight
Andele andale moma E.I. E.I. uh oh
If the head right nelly there every night
We can go to the break of dawn, nigga
Money long, nigga
Go fast up the skirt to talk to the thong, nigga
Some say I'm wrong fuck it I'm grown, nigga
If you ain't bout money then best be gone, nigga
I'm flashy (uh) double takes when you walk past me
Nasty, don't be scared boo, go ahead and ask me
I drive fasty, call me Jeff Gordon
In a black SS wit a navigation
See the black blazion, something smells amazing
I gotta chick rolling up half black and Asian
Another one paging telling me to come over
Her husband on vacation and left her home alone
I used the v-12 powers, weight loss powers
From Phat Farm to Iceberg Slim in one shower
Get a room in trump towers just to hit for 3 hours
Get the bitch up out the room 'cause she used the word ours
Andele andale moma E.I. E.I. uh oh
What's poppin tonight
Andele andale moma E.I. E.I. uh oh
If the head right nelly there every night
Andele andale moma E.I. E.I. uh oh
What's poppin tonight
Andele andale moma E.I. E.I. uh oh
If the head right nelly there every night
They got a smash mouth of a whole ounce, of that sticky
Watch my hands under a gold spout, feeling icky
Let go off in a hoes mouth, I ain't picky
Start fronting when the shows out
What ya mean, 20 inches when they roll out
Come and get me, big faces when they fold out
Is ya wit me? Don't make me pull that 44 out
I keep it close when I the go out
Then I slide up in an esclade
Me and E getting solid like the ice capades
From heat, frosty, roger the rabbit than bugsy
You understand me, wrapped crisp like mummys
If you compare me to your local grocery
Then you'll see I got more carrots than aisle d
More bread than aisle e, you can bag and scan me
Sure like Al be , you can meet tha 'tics in Maui (hey)
Andele andale moma E.I. E.I. uh oh
What's poppin tonight
Andele andale moma E.I. E.I. uh oh
If the head right nelly there every night
Andele andale moma E.I. E.I. uh oh
What's poppin tonight
Andele andale moma E.I. E.I. uh oh
If the head right nelly there every night

Uh wait a minute now
Hold on, let me speak my mind
Can you hear me out there
Is anyone listening to me?
Lunatics, is y'all ready
Are my crazy friends ready?
Let me hear ya
I need to hear some response
I'ma sucker for cornrows and manicured toes (hey)
I love it when women take care of their appearance
Fendi capri pants and Parasucos (alright)
I like it when women wear expensive clothes
Passadity city with one or two throws
I can throw a football well
I'm dropping outta high school
I'm leaving school early
Straight into the pro's, who knows I know
I'm hoping to become a professional athlete
That I love it when you make your knees touch your elbows
I like when you're flexible and can move your body in intriguing ways
And break it down low to the flow, there you go
Dance to the rhythm of the song, that's it
Now throw it on me slow
Dance in slow motion with me
And every time I bust a rhyme, baby give me some more
I like when you want more of my music
You say you like that, when I hit it from behind
You like that position when we're intimate
And I'll be right back yea that's my very next line
I'll be back with more music and lyrics
I use it time after time, when I'm speaking my mind
I repeat certain lines in my music because they are true and important to me
It's no matter if I'm shooting game to a pigeon and dime
It doesn't matter who I'm talking to, whether they are high or low class
I ask you who that is, talking that shit about the 'tics
I'm curious who is talking bad about my team, the St. Lunatics
Somebody probably jealous 'cause they bitch got hit
Someone is probably angry because their girlfriend slept with me
But nobody else dropping shit like dis, should we apologize
No one else is making music quite like me, so why should I apologize?
Fuck 'em just leave 'em pissed hey
Forget about them and let them be angry
Andele andale moma E.I. E.I. uh oh
Let's have a good time and party
What's poppin tonight
What's happening tonight?
If the head right nelly there every night
If we have good chemistry, I'll be there every night
We can go to the break of dawn, nigga
We can stay up all night
Money long, nigga
I have a lot of money
Go fast up the skirt to talk to the thong, nigga
I move quickly to seduce women
Some say I'm wrong fuck it I'm grown, nigga
Some may disagree with my lifestyle, but I'm an adult and can make my own decisions
If you ain't bout money then best be gone, nigga
If you're not interested in making money, then you should leave
I'm flashy (uh) double takes when you walk past me
I dress in a way that catches people's attention
Nasty, don't be scared boo, go ahead and ask me
I'm not afraid to be sexually explicit, feel free to ask me anything
I drive fasty, call me Jeff Gordon
I drive fast, like the NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon
In a black SS wit a navigation
I drive a car with a GPS system
See the black blazion, something smells amazing
I smell something good
I gotta chick rolling up half black and Asian
I have a girlfriend who is mixed race
Another one paging telling me to come over
Someone else is calling me to come over to their house
Her husband on vacation and left her home alone
Her husband is away and she is alone at home
I used the v-12 powers, weight loss powers
I drove my powerful car and worked out to stay in shape
From Phat Farm to Iceberg Slim in one shower
I can change my style quickly
Get a room in trump towers just to hit for 3 hours
I rented a hotel room to have sex for three hours
Get the bitch up out the room 'cause she used the word ours
I kicked the woman out because she started talking like we were in a relationship
They got a smash mouth of a whole ounce, of that sticky
They have a lot of strong weed
Watch my hands under a gold spout, feeling icky
I'm washing my hands with expensive soap
Let go off in a hoes mouth, I ain't picky
I don't care who I have sex with
Start fronting when the shows out
People act different after the show has ended
What ya mean, 20 inches when they roll out
My rims are 20 inches
Come and get me, big faces when they fold out
Come find me, I'll have a lot of cash with me
Is ya wit me? Don't make me pull that 44 out
Are you going to join me? Don't make me use my gun
I keep it close when I the go out
I keep my gun with me when I go out
Then I slide up in an esclade
I get into my Cadillac Escalade
Me and E getting solid like the ice capades
Me and my friend E are becoming close like ice skaters
From heat, frosty, roger the rabbit than bugsy
I'm referencing different movies and characters
You understand me, wrapped crisp like mummys
Do you understand me? I wrap myself up tightly like a mummy
If you compare me to your local grocery
If you compare me to something ordinary
Then you'll see I got more carrots than aisle d
You'll see that I have more money and status than the average person
More bread than aisle e, you can bag and scan me
I have more money than most, you can try to get me but I'm unattainable
Sure like Al be, you can meet tha 'tics in Maui (hey)
You can meet my friends and I in Maui
