nelly-ride with me
Nelly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where they at where they at
Where they at where they at
Where they at where they at
Where they at come on now

If you want to go and take a ride wit me
We're 3-wheelin in the 4 with the gold d's
Oh why do I live this way
(hey) (must be the money)
If you want to go and get high wit me
Smoke an L in the back of the benzie
Oh why must I feel this way
(hey) (must be the money)

In the club on the late night feelin' right
Lookin' tryin' to spot somethin' real nice
Looking for a lil shorty I noticed
So that I can take home (i can take home)
She can be 18 18 wit a attitude
Or 19 kinda snotty actin real rude
But as long as you a thicky thicky thick
Girl you know that its on (you know that its on)
I peep somethin' comin' towards me on the dance floor
Sexy and real slow (hey)
Sayin' she was peepin' and I dig the last video
So when Nelly can we go?
How could I tell her no
Her measurements was 36 25 34 {feel it}
I like the way you brush your hair
And I like those stylish clothes you wear
I like the way the light hit the ice and glare
And I can see you boo from way over there

If you want to go and take a ride wit me
We're 3-wheelin in the 4 with the gold d's
Oh why do I live this way
(hey) (must be the money)
If you want to go and get high wit me
Smoke an L in the back of the benzie
Oh why must I feel this way
(hey) (must be the money)

Face a body front and back, don't know how to act
Without the vouchers on the boots she's bringing nothin' back
You should feel the impact shop on plastic where the sky's is the limit
And them haters can't get past that




Watch me as I gas that four dot six range
Watch the candy-paint change every time I switch lanes
