A casual greeting to the audience.

Well uh-huh, well uh-huh girl I'm parked outside
Expressing interest in someone nearby.

And you know that it's sittin' on chrome, chrome (Uh-huh)
Indicating that the car is luxurious and impressive.

Hey, I'm just lookin' for a pretty young thing
Expressing interest in someone attractive.

That uh, I can take home (take home)
Expressing a desire to take the person home.

Can we leave here (Yeah), can we leave here (Yeah)
Asking if they can leave the current location.

I'm throwing nuggets out the fellow I push to Carmelo
Boasting about throwing expensive items out of his car.

Yellow on yellow flooded the band and the bezel
Describing the opulence of his jewelry.

Hear me now! Oh, no, did you see the hue
Drawing attention to his wealth and high status.

I took the Phantom to the Opera, same van roll through the ghetto
Bringing up his luxury car and contrasting it with the ghetto.

Shorty need to make up her mind
Implying that the woman he's interested in is hesitant.

I seen them niggaz over there, but they ain't takin' my shine
Asserting his dominance over others in the vicinity.

Got seven niggaz tryin' to be me, out here breakin' they spine
Boasting about people trying to emulate his success.

But they got seven different levels for they minions to mind
Implying that his competition is inferior to him.

I want you both shorty (Oh) go get it crunk shorty (Oh)
Indicating an interest in multiple women.

I see your A-T-L stamp and go 'head and stomp shorty (Oh)
Acknowledging the origin of one of the women he's interested in.

I got that shake now, and don't be scared now
Suggesting he is skilled in a certain activity.

Cause we can come from the kitchen up to that bed now
Implying that he's comfortable in any setting.

Shit it ain't nuttin' to a boss, I heat you like air off
Boasting about his prowess.

It ain't nothing', they ain't cuttin', they frontin', that's they loss
Dismissing his competition as inferior and irrelevant.

Cause the, 'Tics is good, and the van is paid off
Bringing up his successful basketball team and financial stability.

And I done got so damn cocky I took that Band-Aid off
Suggesting he's become so successful he doesn't need to wear a Band-Aid anymore.

picture perfect, I paint a perfect picture
Asserting his creative abilities and perfectionism.

Third album, same focus, my intent is to get richer
Emphasizing his ambition and desire for financial success.

I'm with my dirty Jazze Phizzle, he yieldin' that instrumental
Acknowledging his collaborator and producer for the song.

Yous a cold-ass nigga on the track (Sho' nuff)
Offering compliments to his collaborator.

Man, I'm tired of poppin' these bottles, tired of fuckin' these models
Expressing disinterest in excessive partying and sexual encounters.

I'm tired of these menage-a nights, yeah right (Psych!)
Admitting he's still interested in such experiences, but in a humorous way.

I was built for it, I got hip for it
Implying he was destined for his current lifestyle and success.

I even got a little swagger in my limp for it
Asserting his confidence and style.

I done had, sex in the city plus sex in the country
Boasting about his sexual experiences in various settings.

You know, sex in the zoo directly behind the monkeys
Adding a humorous anecdote to his previous statement.

Hold up! Don't get me wrong, I'm lookin' for Ms. Right
Clarifying that despite his previous statements, he is interested in finding a long-term partner.

But tonight ain't the time, I'm lookin' for right now
Admitting that he's more interested in immediate gratification than long-term commitment.

It's two-thousand-fo', I'm in a new home
Emphasizing that he's living the high life in the current year.

Threw out the Bentley bought a Double R and kissin' doors
Bringing up his luxurious cars and lifestyle.

It's like I'm holdin' on to permanent mistletoe, I think you been sittin' low
Suggesting that he's constantly in a good mood and that the person he's interested in isn't.

I got a driver dirty, he come when the whistle blow
Boasting about having a personal driver at his beck and call.

(Na-nana-na) I'm smoother than you know
Imagining himself as a smooth and confident individual.

(Na-nana-na) Cadillac do's and bank rolls
Boasting about his luxury car and wealth.

(Na-nana-na) I simply go places you can't go
Implying that he's living a life of exclusivity and luxury.
