Nelly ft. Justim Timberlake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, show something (uh)
Don't say nothing (don't you say a word)
I just want to see you work it (come on, baby, work it for me)
That ain't frontin' (no)
Show me something (let me see it, girl)
I just try to see you work it (I just wanna see you work it for me, yeah)
I heard her talkin' loud
But she ain't sayin' nothing
What up with all the frontin'?
Come on and show me something
You know you wanna do it
Go ahead yo man ain't comin'
Please, do that thing when you dippin'
Keep yo hips poppin'
What up with all these questions?
And what you plannin', baby girl?
You talkin' to me, like you talkin' to an adolescent
I need that jump off, jump off
Clothes, come off, come off
Her place, freaky beats and so on so on, ayy
Let your waist pop (huh) when the bass knock (yeah)
I flood the watch to the top, until it's no clock
Can't even tell the time, but you know it's mine
What time is it, ma? It's twenty karats after nine
Are you dehydrated?
Well, let me quench your thirst (check it)
But first things first, let's do what we rehearsed
Don't get nervous now
It's your big break, break it
Get up and take a stance and let me see ya
Baby, show something (uh)
Don't say nothing (don't you say a word)
I just want to see you work it (come on, baby, work it for me)
That ain't frontin' (no)
Show me something (let me see it, girl)
I just try to see you work it (I just wanna see you work it for me, yeah)
She still talkin' loud, but she ain't sayin' nothin'
Why you ain't movin' ma? DJ ain't playin' nothin'
You tell him, play this here until the speakers blow
Birthdays, pick a place, baby, we can go
I like yo Air Max, she showin' no back
She showin' off her tatts, you ain't know
Slightly ghetto-ghetto, she bourghetto zhetto
She 5'5, brown eyes, in stiletto 'letto (yeah, yeah)
Well did you come alone? Or you got two or three?
That ain't no thang, baby girl, 'cause I got two with me
And we gon' all kick it, and you about to see
Just what a day would be if you was in the ride with me
Turnin' on the headlights, then we be
(Runnin' all the red lights) oh
It's full steam ahead, and ain't no stoppin' now
Now come on here and drop it, and he gon' tell why
Baby, show something (uh)
Don't say nothing (don't you say a word)
I just want to see you work it (come on, baby, work it for me)
That ain't frontin' (no)
Show me something (let me see it, girl)
I just try to see you work it (I just wanna see you work it for me, yeah)
Now all my Midwest shorties, come on do that thang and
Dance for me, dance for me, yeah
And all my down South shorties, come on, do that thang, come on

And all my East coast shorties, come on, do that thang (I said)
Dance for me, dance for me, yeah
And all my West coast shorties, come on do that thang
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
She still talkin' loud, hold up, I hear her better now
She keep a thong print on in any weather now
No sight of a band but I can hear the horns playing
Da-dat da dat da da da da dum (oh)
She got me hypnotized just like that Biggie guy
'Cause she been tryna prove her point since we been inside
So we can get it on, just wait 'til we get home
I'm on something, call my partner Jay
(Mama, come on)
Baby, show something (uh)
Don't say nothing (come on) (don't you say a word)
I just want to see you work it (come on, baby, work it for me, hey)
That ain't frontin' (no)
Show me something (let me see it, girl)
I just try to see you work it (I just wanna see you work it for me, yeah)

She's still talking without doing anything. Why aren't you dancing? The DJ isn't playing anything good. Ask him to play this song until the artists break down. We can go anywhere for your birthday. I like your style. She's not showing her back, but showing her tattoos. You wouldn't think she's from the ghetto but she is. She's 5'5 with brown eyes and wearing stilettos. Did you come alone or with friends? It doesn't matter because we can all hang out. Turning on the headlights and running red lights, I won't stop until we get to where we're going. Now dance for me and he will understand why

She's hypnotizing me, like Biggie did. She's trying to prove something to me, but we can just do it when we get home. I'm on something called 'Planet Jay', so let's go
