Baby show something
Don't say nothing (don't you say a word)
I just want to see you work it (come on baby work it for me)

But she ain't saying nothing
What up with all the fronting
Come on and show me something
You know you wanna do it
Go ahead yo man ain't coming
Please do that thing
When you dippin, keep yo hips poppin'
What's up with all these questions
And What planning baby
You talking to me, like you talking to an adolescence
I like to, jump off Jump off (clothes)
Come off come off
Her place, freaky beats and so on so on ey
Let you waist pop
When them place not
I rather watch to the top of snow clock
Can't even tell the time
But you know it's mine
What time is ma, it's 20 Karets, after nine
Are you dehydrated?
Well let me quench your thirst (check it)
But first thing first
Let's do what we rehearsed

Get up and take a stance

Birthdays pick a place, baby we can go

In stilleto letto (Baby)
Well did you come alone
Or you got 2 or 3

Baby girl 'cause, I got 2 with me
And we gonna all kick it
And you about to see
Just what a day would be
If you was in a ride with me
Turning on the headlights (and we be)
Running all the red lights
Those fool steal my head
And ain't no stopping now
Now come on here and drop it

Baby show something

She still talking loud
But I here her better now
She keep a thong print on in any weather now
No sight of a band
But I can hear the horns playing
Da-dat da dat da da da da dum
She got me hypnotize
Just like that Biggie guy
'Cause she been, trying to prove her point since we been inside
So we can get it on
Just wait to we get home

I just wanna see you work it
The lyrics to Nelly's song "Justin Timberlake/Work It" are about a man who is trying to get a woman to dance for him. He wants her to show off her moves and work it for him without saying a word. He seems to be encouraging her to let go of any self-consciousness and just enjoy herself. The woman initially appears to be hesitant, but eventually gives in and dances for him. Throughout the song, there are references to various parts of the United States (Midwest, South, East Coast, and West Coast) and how women from each region can dance.
The song also touches on themes of materialism, with references to the woman's jewelry ("it's 20 Karets after nine") and the man's car ("If you was in a ride with me/Turning on the headlights/Running all the red lights"). There are also lyrics that suggest sexual desire ("And we gonna all kick it/And you about to see/Just what a day would be/If you was in a ride with me/Turning on the headlights (and we be)/Running all the red lights").
Overall, the lyrics to "Justin Timberlake/Work It" are about the power of dance and how it can bring people together.
