It Wasn't Me
Nelly Lyrics

Is it going, is it going, is it going, is it going?
Asks if things are moving forward as planned or if there is an issue causing delays.

I don't know what you're looking for
Unsure of what the other person wants or expects from the situation.

I'm the type of girl that'll look you dead in the eye (eye)
Confident and direct, unafraid to face someone head-on and speak her mind.

I'm real as they come if you don't know why I'm fly
Authentic and genuine in her personality and style, proud of who she is.

Seen ya try to switch it up, but, girl, you ain't got to
Acknowledging that others have attempted to copy her style or change things up, but she is secure enough in herself to not follow the crowd.

I'm the Wonder Woman; let me go get my ropes
Confident in her abilities and ready to take charge, likening herself to a superhero.

I'm a supermodel, and, mummy, si mummy
Comparing herself to a high-fashion model and using Spanish slang to suggest she is confident and in control.

Amnesty International got bankrupt (I'm on top, on lock)
Using wordplay to suggest her own dominance and success, while simultaneously making light of a serious news story.

You love my ass, and my abs, and the video called Promiscuous

My style is meticulous
Proud of the careful attention she puts into her style and appearance.

When Timbo is in the party, everybody put up their hands

I get a half a mill for my beats, you get a couple grand
Proudly stating her high earnings and the value she places on her craft compared to others.

Never gonna see the day that I ain't got the upper hand
Confident in her own abilities and influence, suggesting she will always remain in control.

I'm respected from Californ-i-a way down to Japan
Acknowledging her global reach and widespread respect in a variety of locations.

I'm a real producer, and you just the piano man

Your song gonna top the charts; I heard 'em; I'm not a fan

Niggas talkin' greasy, I'm the one that gave them they chance
Proudly taking credit for helping others achieve success and acknowledging her own influence and power in the industry.

Somebody need to tell 'em they can't do it like I can
Confidently asserting that her own abilities and talent remain unmatched by others.

Could you speak up and stop the mumbling?
Asking the other person to communicate more clearly and directly.

I don't think you came in clear
Having difficulty understanding the other person's message or intentions.

Sitting on the top; it's hard to hear you from way up here
Acknowledging her own powerful position and success, while suggesting that the other person is not at the same level.

I saw you tryin' to act cute on TV; just let me clear the air
Calling out perceived fakeness or inauthenticity in the other person's behavior or persona, and seeking to address it directly.

We missed you on the charts last week

Damn, that's right, you wasn't there

If sexy never left, then why's everybody on my shit?

'Cause our run will never be over; not at least until we say

Wanna see you work your body
