Shake Whatever
Nelly Lyrics

My license plates be heavy
My license plates are customized, probably with some elaborate design or lettering.

4-55 in my Chevy
I'm driving a Chevy, and 4-55 could be a model number or license plate, but it's not clear.

Got a stitch in the seat that read Nelly
There's a custom design stitched into my car seat that says Nelly, probably my name or nickname.

Peanut butter inside and out jelly
The interior and exterior of my car are both brown, like the filling of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

I push it straight down the block, I made a left at the curb
I'm driving down a street and made a left turn at the corner.

I had my windows cracked cause I was smoking some herb
The reason my car windows were open a crack is that I was smoking marijuana while driving.

I saw the Shawty I knew so I started to swerve
I saw a woman I recognized, so I veered my car in her direction.

I pulled right up beside her and I started to serve
I stopped my car by hers and started hitting on her or trying to get her attention.

I said hold up, Shawty get it
I said something like 'wait a minute, girl' or 'hold on, girl.'

Boy that's soft like the seat that you be sit in
I'm insulting the man who may have been with the woman before me by saying he's soft.

How bout we ride somewhere where I can get it
I'm suggesting we go somewhere more private where we can have sex.

She ain't want it at all but she was with it
The woman didn't seem interested in having sex with me, but then she changed her mind and agreed to it.

Like a 50 amaro she was ready to follow
She was very eager to follow me, like an alcoholic beverage that's strong and almost overpowering.

Like a coke bottle with a walk in the bottle
She had a curvy figure like the shape of a Coca-Cola bottle and walked in a way that accentuated her curves.

She was sippin muscato with a skinny malato
She was drinking muscato wine and had a light complexion like a person of mixed-race or Latino ethnicity.

The only thing that I did in here was hit her lock
The car probably shook a bit due to the sexual activity happening inside.

I like em big, I like em small
I don't have a preference when it comes to a woman's body size or shape.

I like em thin, I like em tall
I'm attracted to women who are thin or tall, but again I don't have any specific preference.

I like em round, I like em both
I'm attracted to both curvy and more angular women.

But on the real, I like em all
Ultimately, I'm attracted to a wide variety of women and don't have any specific 'type.'

Now I done swoop off your pants, they're worth we're buying the same
I removed your pants, which were probably expensive or stylish, and now we're both naked.

Now I did most of the layin like only offer it came
I did most of the work during sex, as though I was the only option available to the woman.

Ali came with demands, I became the man
This is a reference to boxing legend Muhammad Ali, suggesting that I'm now in charge or the 'champion' of the sexual encounter.

Then came in the bands, then they came in the Benz
Lots of money came in (perhaps from music or some other venture), and then I was able to afford a nice car.

Swing around that pole, go and murk it
I'm encouraging a woman to dance on a stripper pole and do it 'like a pro.'

You see a nigga behind, you know I'm lurkin
If you see a man watching or lurking around while you're dancing, that's probably me.

I like a girl with a bottom, I like a girl on the top
I like women who have a curvy butt, and I also like when a woman is on top during sex.

I like a girl when I roll, I like a girl when I rock
I like women when I'm simply driving around or listening to music, regardless of the context.

I like a girl when I sing, I like a girl when I rap
I'm attracted to women regardless of what I'm doing, including singing or rapping on stage.

'Cause when I'm doin my thing I want that ass to clap
When I'm performing or doing something well, I want people to show their appreciation by clapping, and I also want a woman's butt to be literally clapping against me during sex.

I've got what you want but baby / This ain't love, could drive you crazy
I can give you physical pleasure or material goods, but this doesn't mean I'm in love with you or that this situation will necessarily end well.

If you want it go on and say that / Say that, say that
If you're interested in sex or money, just say so directly and don't beat around the bush. I don't have time for games.

Your sexy ass gon get it / Got band in hand, come get it / That pinch is a herb - it's my method / Just shake whatever that is behind you
I have money and will give it to you if you have sex with me. The 'pinch' is probably a reference to marijuana or some other drug, which I use to loosen you up. All you need to do is shake your butt or anything else you have, and I'll be hooked.
