On natural bridge down the King's highway
We will chill in (chillin') with my peeps (my peeps)

Oh you fo' reel
We're not filthy rich but we could use a bath
Let a chick take half
Don't want that math
And I speak on behalf of my whole damn staff
I can see (see) what you thinkin'
You know you want it as bad as I do
Tell me (tell me) what you drinkin'

That purple haze for them gla**y jars
F*** Lana, baby I want Mo

The song "Iz U" by Nelly tells the story of a man trying to determine if a woman is interested in pursuing a romantic relationship with him. The chorus asks the same question multiple times: "Iz you iz or iz you ain't gon' give me a ride?" which refers to whether or not she is interested in continuing the conversation with him. He also mentions her having a man but he does not want to break up her "happy home," but rather be her friend and take her out to lunch. The song also touches on Nelly's success and his lifestyle of spending money, popping bottles, and owning multiple cars.
Overall, the song is about trying to gauge someone's interest and seeing if they want to pursue a relationship. Nelly's lyrics represent his confidence and coolness and the instrumental beats that accompany them contribute to the laid-back, smooth vibe of the song.
