Just call her Ali by the way she knock 'em down

The song "Marry Go Round" by Nelly featuring Chris Brown is a mixture of sexual innuendos, braggadocious references to one's strength and sexual prowess, and pop culture references. The song is named after a ride often found in amusement parks - the merry-go-round- which spins around in circles, much like the women mentioned in the song. The lyrics describe the pleasures that can be derived from sexual intimacy with a particular woman, called "Merry." The first line of the song sets the tone for the rest of the chorus, where Nelly raps, "She takes over the ring, every time she come around, Just call her Ali by the way she knock 'em down, Or maybe LB cause that ass weight a pound." The ring refers to a boxing ring, where fighters compete against each other, in a 'knock them down' fashion, similar to how a woman named Ali would. LB refers to Lytle Banks, the first black man to win a boxing title. Nelly compares Merry's behind to LB's weight and insists he will 'stand like a boss and watch the merry go round.'
Throughout the song, Nelly also alludes to how Merry has a fiery spirit and can make him feel alive. He likens her to a firecracker, an explosive in the night sky, and remarks that she has a fire flame to complement that quality. He admires Merry's physical attributes and, in a rather crass manner, says he'd like to "lick her clean" like ice cream. Overall, the song is a bold declaration of what Nelly wants to do with Merry, the namesake of the song.
