Nelly Feat. Lil' Wayne
Nelly Lyrics

Here we go again
Starting another verse, continuing to talk about how great Nelly is

Real smooth, yeah
Nelly is cool and confident, and he knows it

They said a country boy
People initially underestimated Nelly because he comes from a rural area

Came through and then changed the game
Nelly came into the music industry and had a big impact on it

If you what you got ain't hot then, check your flame
If what you're doing isn't working, try harder

If what you spittin ain't hittin then, check your aim
If your rhymes aren't resonating with people, work on your delivery

Your record sales start to slip and then, Nelly to blame
If you're not selling records, Nelly is coming for your spot

Now who you know come through first time on the scene
Nelly made a big impact with his first album

No set-ups, no guest appearances in between
Nelly didn't need anyone else to get famous

Fire like a nigga drinkin gasoline
Nelly is hot like fire

I keep it hot, like my dirty down in New Orleans
Nelly stays fresh like the city of New Orleans

The Rams won the Superbowl, bought myself a ring
Nelly is successful and can afford to buy expensive things

Whether you sparkle or you bling, don't matter same thing
Nelly doesn't care how flashy his jewelry is, as long as it's quality

Thug drinkin mo', but Don the King
Nelly and his friends are living the good life

I'm gettin pissy, with Tissy, Missy and Irene
Nelly likes to party with his close friends

Real close friends that like to try things
Nelly's friends are adventurous and like to have fun

Me and my dirties we like to buy things
Nelly and his friends enjoy spending their money

Fuck around and give me a license to fly things
Nelly wants to buy a plane

Look up in the sky and have a Nelly sighting, like
Nelly wants to be famous enough that people see him flying around in his plane

Skurrt, oh! (Gon' break it down)
A sound effect to signify a change in the song

Oh Nelly! (Gon' change that game around)
Seems to still be talking about Nelly's influence on the music industry

And I bet (y'all really gon' hate him now)
People will be upset about Nelly's success

Why don't you come ride with me? Oooh-wee!
Nelly is asking someone to join him on his journey

First name Nelly, last name Nel
Nelly is just introducing himself

First letter C, last letter L
Just spelling out Nelly's initials

Six hundred fly by, what the hell?
Nelly has a fast and expensive car

V-12 full detail, sittin' on Sprewell's
More details about Nelly's car

Who in? Can't tell, too much tint
Nelly's car windows are very dark

But why the radio so loud? Too much spent
Nelly likes to play his music loudly

Never be a Bush man, too Bill Clint'
Nelly is political, referencing former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton

Both country boys, and if the head right, E.I
Nelly and his friends are from rural areas and proud of it

Head for my residency, lovin' my presidency
Nelly enjoys being in charge of his own life

I do it like you never did see
Nelly is successful in a way that no one before him has been

Shady to them niggas that's shadin' me
Nelly is aware that some people don't like him

Givin' back to the ones that gave to me
Nelly is grateful for his success and tries to give back to his community

Bought a Caddy for the man that created me (who?)
Nelly bought his dad a car

My daddy, call him Big Nelly (ooh!)
Nelly's dad is also named Nelly

Pimp juice flowin' through that bloodline 'cause
Nelly and his dad are both cool and confident

Huh, see what it does? Yeah, you feel the buzz, like
Nelly's charisma is infectious

One mo' time! N, E, dash L-L-Y
Just spelling out Nelly's name again

If you didn't like me then, gon' hate me now
Nelly knows that some people don't like him

Me and Murph' fogged out in the buggy I
Nelly and his friend are smoking in a car

With the, suction doors, two bad-ass whores
Nelly and his friend have expensive cars with cool doors and women with them

Holla at Yo, 'cause I need that custom made
Nelly needs something personalized

Waves, fresh fade, brand new Band-Aid
Nelly has a fresh haircut and takes good care of himself

Skurrt, them boys ain't playin' around
Another sound effect, announcing a change in the song

Unless it's her watch according to her face, hopscotch never
Unclear what Nelly means here, possibly that a woman's watch face tells more than her words ever could

Tic-tac-toe, there's too many of those
Nelly is bored with simple games

I need a Rocky Dennis face uh, know what I mean?
Nelly is referencing the disfigured character from the movie 'Mask', but it's unclear what he means

Then I'm good to roll, hey, out of control
Nelly is ready to have a good time

New motto never fuck the same hoe!
Nelly is done messing around with the same girl repeatedly

Tryin' to catch Wilt, four more to go
Nelly is trying to outdo Wilt Chamberlain's claim of having slept with 20,000 women

From the bed to the flo', jackrabbit too pro
Nelly is skilled in bed

Knock 'em out, wake baby girl to let her know
Nelly is a great lover

Yo you can't even stay here tonight, f'real, I'm sorry
Nelly doesn't want to keep messing around with the same girl

Skurrrrt, oh! (Gon' break it down)
Another sound effect, ending the song

Uh uh, uh, you come ride with me
Nelly is inviting someone to join him on his journey

Uh uh, uh, uh you come ride with me
Repeating the invitation

Uh uh, uh, uh, uh uh
Ending the song with more ad-libs
