[Verse 1: Keri Hilson]
I know I been telling you not now
But baby come and give it to me
Cause I can tell by the way that you move
That you're the one who can give it to me yeah
So come on let's move through the crowd
So we can find ourselves some privacy
And when I get you all to myself I promise
It's gonna be hard to breathe
When you watch me

[Chorus:]
Shake wind and roll
Let's lose control
Shake wind and roll
Let's lose control
Put your hands on my body aye
Love the way you make my body say
Aye aye aye
Shake wind and roll
Let's lose control

Shake wind and roll
Shake wind and roll

[Verse 2: Keri Hilson]
Looking like you've seen a beautiful ghost
She must have been a sight to see
Cause you got your mouth wide open
And you're sweating like a 100 degrees
But it's not a ghost your body can't handle you watching me
And one more move I'ma make you drop to your knees
When I...

[Chorus]
Shake wind and roll
Let's lose control
Shake wind and roll
Let's lose control
Put your hands on my body aye aye aye
Love the way you make my body say
Aye aye aye
Shake wind and roll
Let's lose control

[Bridge: Keri Hilson]
Baby I'm loving how it feels
Looking in your eyes
Ooh it sends me chills
All down my spine
But now the song is done
You can have another one
But first you gotta pay to see me

[Verse 4: Nelly]
I've gotta pay how much?
Hundred thousand dollars, two hundred thousand you name it
Beamer Benz or Bentley Bugatti body you claim it
And all of it depends on the way you shakin' your anus
Had to valet park it to the red carpet, I'll make you famous
Oh look you fancy, ha!
Lil' mama have reindeer Bambi, ha
I stay in my plane, Meyer Lansky, ha
I'm 69 writing my nasty mind, n-n-n-nasty mind
And you could play with it, play with it and you gon' beat it
How your neck split it you say get it (And I'm gon' get it girl)
Let me see you shake it girl while you control it bring it around
Take your cell phone, you saying "nah" when it's goin' down.

[Chorus]
Shake wind and roll
Let's lose control
Shake wind and roll
Let's lose control
Put your hands on my body aye
Love the way you make my body say
Aye aye aye
Shake wind and roll
Let's lose control

Shake, wind
Shake wind and roll (aye, aye)
Shake, wind
Shake wind and roll (aye, aye)
Shake, wind
Shake wind and roll (aye, aye)
Shake, wind
Shake wind and roll

["Let You Down":]
Baby you didn't really needed my loving
Not the way I needed yours
I was only tryna keep it open
Now you're gonna slam the door
Led me to believe we were together
You were on a different plan
Cause when things were changing for the better
You became a different man
If I was you
I never would have left you in the cold in the first place
Oh baby
And if I was you
I'd be really tryna make you turn on the one way
Oh babe
Said you let me down
Said you let me let me let me let me let me down
Ay you let me let me down
Yeah you let me let me let me let me let me down
Said you let me let me down
Let me down




A real man wouldn't have done it like that
No boys allowed!

Overall Meaning

The song "Lose Control" by Nelly featuring Keri Hilson is primarily about a woman who wants to take control of a situation and have a sensual experience with someone she's attracted to. Keri Hilson's verses lay the groundwork for this idea, as she initially appears to be holding back but then urges the person to come closer and find some "privacy." She describes how the man can't take his eyes off of her and seems to be overwhelmed with desire. The chorus reinforces this idea of letting go of inhibitions and allowing oneself to be swept up in the moment. The repeated line "Shake wind and roll" has a double meaning, referring both to dancing and to a physical release of tension.


The song also includes a section with Nelly rapping, in which he references the high price of fame and the kind of lifestyle that comes with it. He brags about his wealth and the cars he can afford, and seems to be enjoying the attention he gets from women. The final part of the song features a snippet of Keri Hilson singing a separate song called "Let You Down," which is about feeling betrayed by someone who was supposed to be trustworthy.


Overall, "Lose Control" is a celebration of sensuality and indulgence, but it also acknowledges the downsides of fame and the potential for disappointment in relationships.


Line by Line Meaning

I know I been telling you not now
I've been hesitant to give in to my desires, but now I want you


But baby come and give it to me
I want you to satisfy me physically


Cause I can tell by the way that you move
Your movements indicate that you can fulfill my needs


That you're the one who can give it to me yeah
You're the one who can provide me with the physical pleasure I seek


So come on let's move through the crowd
Let's go somewhere private so we can be more intimate


So we can find ourselves some privacy
Away from the crowd, we can have our own space


And when I get you all to myself I promise
Once I have you alone, I vow to make it unforgettable


It's gonna be hard to breathe
I'll be so invested in you that it'll be difficult to catch my breath


When you watch me
I'll do what I do best and you can observe


Shake wind and roll
Move with me, dance with me


Let's lose control
Let go of all inhibitions and enjoy the moment


Put your hands on my body aye
Touch me, feel me, let's get it on


Love the way you make my body say
You do things to me that words can't describe


Looking like you've seen a beautiful ghost
The expression on your face shows that you're captivated


She must have been a sight to see
Whatever you saw is unforgettable


Cause you got your mouth wide open
You're in awe and can't contain your excitement


And you're sweating like a 100 degrees
Your body temperature is rising due to intense attraction


But it's not a ghost your body can't handle you watching me
I'm the one who has taken your breath and caused all the physical reactions


And one more move I'ma make you drop to your knees
One more seductive action from me will make you lose all control


Baby I'm loving how it feels
I'm enjoying every aspect of the moment


Looking in your eyes
Gazing into your eyes brings about intense emotions


Ooh it sends me chills
Your touch sends a shiver through my body


All down my spine
A tingling sensation cascades throughout my body


But now the song is done
The moment we shared is coming to an end


You can have another one
If you want another experience, you must pay for it


But first you gotta pay to see me
You must pay to see what more I have to offer


I've gotta pay how much?
What's the price I have to pay?


Hundred thousand dollars, two hundred thousand you name it
The cost is high, and I'll pay whatever it takes


Beamer Benz or Bentley Bugatti body you claim it
You can have anything you want, just name it


And all of it depends on the way you shakin' your anus
The price I'll pay is based on how well you perform


Had to valet park it to the red carpet, I'll make you famous
I have to park my expensive car with the valet so that I can experience you


Oh look you fancy, ha!
You're looking sharp and chic


Lil' mama have reindeer Bambi, ha
I'm calling you cute with a reference to Bambi's little deer


I stay in my plane, Meyer Lansky, ha
I have an air of sophistication, like Meyer Lansky


I'm 69 writing my nasty mind, n-n-n-nasty mind
I'm open and unfiltered when it comes to expressing my desires


And you could play with it, play with it and you gon' beat it
You can explore and enjoy my body, but be true to me


How your neck split it you say get it (And I'm gon' get it girl)
Let's have a good time and I'll be there for you


Let me see you shake it girl while you control it bring it around
Dance along with me and let's enjoy control together


Take your cell phone, you saying "nah" when it's goin' down.
You don't want to be interrupted by your phone during our intimate time


A real man wouldn't have done it like that
A true gentleman would have conducted himself differently


No boys allowed!
Only men who can handle the moment are welcome


Led me to believe we were together
I thought we were in a relationship


You were on a different plan
You had a different idea of what was happening between us


Cause when things were changing for the better
Things were improving, but then something went wrong


You became a different man
You showed a side of yourself I didn't know existed


If I was you
Had you been in my place


I never would have left you in the cold in the first place
I would have done things differently


And if I was you
Flip the roles, and if you were in my position


I'd be really tryna make you turn on the one way
I would've fought to keep the relationship instead of letting it fall apart


Said you let me down
You disappointed me


Let me let me let me let me let me down
You let me down repeatedly


A real man wouldn't have done it like that
You did not act like a gentleman


No boys allowed!
I deserve someone mature who can handle a real relationship
