Nelly ft Keri Hilson- Liv Tonight
Nelly ft Keri Hilson Lyrics

Here we go again
Starting a new song, same old themes

Real smooth, yeah
The song and flow is easy-going

They said a country boy
Nelly is from the countryside

Came through and then changed the game
Nelly revolutionized the music industry in his time

If you what you got ain't hot then, check your flame
If your music is not good, improve yourself

If what you spittin ain't hittin then, check your aim
If what you are saying is not resonating with people, change it

Your record sales start to slip and then, Nelly to blame
If your sales are slipping, it might be because Nelly is competing in the same market

Now who you know come through first time on the scene
Nelly was a phenomenon right out of the gate

No set-ups, no guest appearances in between
Nelly didn't need to collaborate with other artists in order to be successful

Fire like a nigga drinkin gasoline
Nelly's flow is hot and explosive

I keep it hot, like my dirty down in New Orleans
Nelly maintains a consistent quality in his songs, like the hot and dirty atmosphere in New Orleans

The Rams won the Superbowl, bought myself a ring
Nelly is a fan of the Rams and buy himself a Superbowl ring

Whether you sparkle or you bling, don't matter same thing
Regardless of your style, wealth, or status, it doesn't matter to Nelly

Thug drinkin mo', but Don the King
Nelly drinks like a thug but still is a king

I'm gettin pissy, with Tissy, Missy and Irene
Nelly and his close, female friends are having a good time

Real close friends that like to try things
Nelly has a tightknit group of friends who are adventurous

Me and my dirties we like to buy things
Nelly and his friends enjoy spending money on luxurious items

Fuck around and give me a license to fly things
If given the opportunity, Nelly would fly in a plane

Look up in the sky and have a Nelly sighting, like
People will be amazed to see Nelly flying in a plane

Skurrt, oh! (Gon' break it down)
The beat drops and the song picks up pace

Oh Nelly! (Gon' change that game around)
Fans are excited for Nelly to revolutionize the industry with his music

And I bet (y'all really gon' hate him now)
Nelly knows that haters will emerge as he becomes more successful

Why don't you come ride with me? Oooh-wee!
Nelly invites listeners to join him on his journey to success

First name Nelly, last name Nel
Nelly's first and last name are both Nelly

First letter C, last letter L
The first letter of Nelly's first name is 'C' and the last letter of his last name is 'L'

Six hundred fly by, what the hell?
Nelly owns a luxurious car that he speeds around in

V-12 full detail, sittin' on Sprewell's
Nelly's car has an intricate engine and is well maintained, and the wheels are made by Sprewell's

Who in? Can't tell, too much tint
The windows of Nelly's car are too dark to see who is inside

But why the radio so loud? Too much spent
Nelly spent a lot of money on car upgrades, including a loud radio system

Never be a Bush man, too Bill Clint'
Nelly doesn't want to be like George W. Bush, he's more of a Bill Clinton type of guy

Both country boys, and if the head right, E.I
Nelly and the other country boy he's referring to are similar in many ways and enjoy the same things

Head for my residency, lovin' my presidency
Nelly is glad to be where he is and who he is

I do it like you never did see
Nelly is doing things that nobody else has ever seen before

Shady to them niggas that's shadin' me
Nelly has a lot of haters and he knows they are talking behind his back

Givin' back to the ones that gave to me
Nelly is grateful to his fans and is happy to give back to them

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

My daddy, call him Big Nelly (ooh!)
Nelly's father is referred to as 'Big Nelly'

Pimp juice flowin' through that bloodline 'cause
Nelly's father is also a cool guy and has a charismatic personality like Nelly's

Huh, see what it does? Yeah, you feel the buzz, like
Nelly's style is contagious and others are starting to catch on

N, E, dash L-L-Y
A play on Nelly's name

If you didn't like me then, gon' hate me now
If people didn't like Nelly before, they're going to hate him now that he's successful

Me and Murph' fogged out in the buggy I
Nelly and a friend named Murph' are hotboxing a car

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

Holla at Yo, 'cause I need that custom made
Nelly wants custom-made clothing from a designer named Yo

Waves, fresh fade, brand new Band-Aid
Nelly wants a fresh haircut and a new Band-Aid for a cut

Skurrt, them boys ain't playin' around
The beat drops again and the song picks up pace

Unless it's her watch according to her face, hopscotch never
It's hard to tell what time it is based on a woman's watch face and hopscotch is a game with no meaning in this context

Tic-tac-toe, there's too many of those
Tic-tac-toe is played too often and has lost its appeal

I need a Rocky Dennis face uh, know what I mean?
Rocky Dennis had a unique face and Nelly is looking for someone with a similar unusual look

Then I'm good to roll, hey, out of control
Once he finds the right woman, Nelly will be happy to get wild and be out of control

New motto never fuck the same hoe!
Nelly has a new rule of not sleeping with the same woman more than once

Tryin' to catch Wilt, four more to go
Nelly wants to have sex with as many women as Wilt Chamberlain famously did

From the bed to the flo', jackrabbit too pro
Nelly is good in bed and likes to have sex in different positions

Knock 'em out, wake baby girl to let her know
Nelly is proud of his sexual prowess and wants to share it with his partners

Yo you can't even stay here tonight, f'real, I'm sorry
Nelly is kicking out a woman after they have had sex

Skurrrrt, oh! (Gon' break it down)
The beat drops again as the song comes to a close

Uh uh, uh, you come ride with me
Nelly repeats his invitation for listeners to join him on his journey to success

Uh, uh uh, uh you come ride with me
Another invitation for listeners to join him

Skurrt! Uh uh, uh, uh you come ride with me
More encouragement for listeners to ride with him

Uh uh, uh, uh, uh uh
Repetition of previous lines to close out the song
