Hold up! Don't get me wrong, I'm lookin for Ms. Right
But tonight ain't the time, I'm lookin for right now
It's two-thousand-fo', I'm in a new home
Threw out the Bentley bought a Double are {?}

The song "Na-NaNa-Na" by Nelly featuring Jazze Pha was released in 2004 as part of the album "Suit". The opening lines of the song "Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen, this is truly an event" sets the opening tone of the track, suggesting that something big and noteworthy is about to happen. The verses and the chorus revolve around Nelly's pursuit of a "pretty young thang" that he hopes to take home with him. He boasts about his wealth, luxurious cars (which are "sittin' on chrome"), and the success he has achieved. He is not looking for a long-term relationship but rather just want to have fun in the present moment. The chorus consists of the repeated line "Can we leave hurr" (Can we leave here?) indicating Nelly's urgency to leave the current setting and take his potential partner home.
The verses of the song describe Nelly's opulent lifestyle, and he flaunts his wealth through references to luxury cars such as the "Phantom" and "Bentley." He also claims to have had sex known as unconventional places like "sex in the zoo directly behind the monkeys." With lines like "I'm throwing nuggets out the fellow I push to Carmello" and wordplay such as "Got 7 n****s trying to be me, out here breakin they spine", Nelly hints at his rapping prowess that has brought him wealth and success. The music video of the song features Nelly surrounded by a group of dancers in a glittery and colorful setting.

I was made to live this lifestyle, I'm comfortable with it
I even got a little swagger in my limp for it
I'm so confident, I even walk with a swagger
I done had, sex in the city plus sex in the country
I'm experienced, I've had sex in many different situations
You know - sex in the zoo di-rectly behind the monkeys
I've even had sex in a zoo, near the monkeys
Hold up! Don't get me wrong, I'm lookin for Ms. Right

It's two-thousand-fo', I'm in a new home
It's 2004, and I have a new home
Threw out the Bentley bought a Double are {?}
I got rid of my Bentley and bought a new car, possibly a Range Rover
It's like I'm holdin on to permanent mistletoe, I think you been sittin low
I'm always in a romantic mood, and I think you're not living up to your potential
I got a driver dirty, he come when the whistle blow
I have a driver who is always at my beck and call
(Na-nana-na) I'm smoother than you know
I'm cool and collected, and I do things effortlessly
(Na-nana-na) Cadillac do's and bank rolls
I'm rich and fancy, and I drive a Cadillac with nice rims
(Na-nana-na) I simply go places you can't go
I have access to exclusive places and experiences
Ain't see me in no Linc', but you know that derrty in Brougham
I don't drive a Lincoln, but I do have a dirty old Cadillac
I be on my (grind-na-grind-na-grind-na-grind)
I work hard and hustle to make money
