Nelly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just wanna liv' tonight
I just wanna liv' tonight away
I just wanna liv' tonight
I just wanna liv' my life eh

I just wanna liv' tonight
I just wanna liv' tonight away
I just wanna liv' tonight
I just wanna live my life eh

New York, L.A., Chicago, V.A., Saint Louis
I just wanna live my life eh
Hey Vegas
Miami hey London, Toronto
And Paris
I just wanna live my life eh

Top down as a road on a back street,
Shut down with a twin in the back seat,
No one in two, it is just me,
Pull up to the club like a Pimp see,
Shout outs to the players in the V.I.P
Hey D.J., yeah you remember me
Is the nigga with the group from the last week,
And we be, and we be
Popping bottles, making noise,
On the tables, on the bars,
Tell the girls to freak them boys
I fill the patron and rain shots
I'm throwin' a hundred dollar rain drops
I live it up yo and they not, and they not
'Cause today

I just wanna liv' tonight
I just wanna liv' tonight away
I just wanna liv' tonight
I just wanna live my life eh
New York, L.A., Chicago, V.A., Saint Louis!
I just wanna live my life!
Hey Vegas
Miami hey London, Toronto
And Paris
I just wanna live my life eh

I'm with whatever shorty
What you thinking?
I'm treating all night
So what you're drinking?
Don't be afraid lil' momma let loose,
Get shawty there another Grey Goose
Tell your friends come here
Lets see what they do, what they do!
Go shawty it's your birthday!
Want a Mayback for my birthday
What place to sing my birthday,
Want them black and blacks in light gray
And you can roll with me,
Yeah you can roll with me,
All y'all you can roll with me,
'Cause today

I just wanna liv' tonight
I just wanna liv' tonight away
I just wanna liv' tonight
I just wanna live my life eh
New York, L.A., Chicago, V.A. Saint Louis!
I just wanna live my life eh
Hey Vegas
Miami hey London, Toronto
And Paris
I just wanna live my life eh
I just wanna liv' tonight away
I just wanna liv' tonight away

If you like how that sound then shorty let's get down
You wanna go crazy, then let's go now
Tonight we gonna go party, 'til they shut the club down,
I'm going hard 'til they kick my ass out.
If you like how that sound then shorty let's get down
You wanna go crazy, let's go now!
Tonight we gonna go party, 'til they shut the club down,
I'm going hard 'til they kick my ass out.
