Nick Cannon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me and my mans and your girlfriends too
After tonight I'ma only visit you when the moon is blue
Is that your man right there? What he doin' with you?
Sayin' talk to the hands, is that still cute?
Jimmy Choo boots, that's real cute
Only chick in the place with style and grace
And like, expensive taste, spotted my chain, that's right
Get on my game, gotta see well hear that
Is that a weave can't believe that I said that
I don't know what possessed you to wear that
Girl, you out of tap? Girl, wear that
Wait to be not, make it hot, man, you feel that?
Smashin' all across the states
And I stays iced out like frosted flakes
Anythin' you really wanna do, I'm with that
Only wanna kick it with you, I'm with that
Meet me in the parkin' lot at two, I'm with that
But you gotta quit that attitude and get back to me
I don't know you
My name's not important, I'm as big as Elvis
You think you're so cute
Keep it real ma, you don't know me like that dance
But I don't want to
Believe me I don't give up that easy, girl
Cause I kinda like your attitude
I done been to every club in the world
I seen them hot chicks and they blockin' and ugly home girls
And ninety nine percent of the time
It be hits like this brain washin' your mind
Yo, you lookin' at my watch, just watchin' the time
You think I'm gonna stop you must be out of your mind
If you ain't V.I.P, then get out of the line
Think I woke up one day and just decided to rhyme, nah
I ain't got no problems with ya'll
We all ken I'm tryin' to find a Barbie doll
So I could get a phone number, call her tomorrow
Ask her, how her night went with a superstar
Yeah, that's what I was shootin' for
I'm one hundred percent over the fence
You like a mad mechanic throw in a wrench
And my game mad 'cause you playin' the bench
Anythin' you really wanna do, I'm with that
Only wanna kick it with you, I'm with that
Meet me in the parkin' lot at two, I'm with that
But you gotta quit that attitude and get back to me
I don't know you
My names not important, I'm as big as Elvis
You think you're so cute
Keep it real ma, you don't know me like that dance
But I don't want to
Believe me I don't give up that easy, girl
Cause I kinda like your attitude
It's your attitude that got me whipped in my whip
Like whips you [Incomprehensible] I can't be mad at you
Lookin' good, you remind me of my Benz
When I'm pushin' through the hood
Twenty four inch rims steerin' wheel all good
Envision the bigger picture for real it's all good
Wouldn't ya'll do it if ya'll could?
If ya'll could, wouldn't ya'll do it?
But ya'll ain't for stardom
On the road from autumn to autumn
From Cali to Atlanta to Atlanta to Harlem
You don't need Burt Reynolds for the Cannonball run
Anythin' you really wanna do, I'm with that
Only wanna kick it with you, I'm With that
Meet me in the parkin' lot at two, I'm with that
But you gotta quit that attitude and get back to me
I don't know you
My names not important, I'm as big as Elvis
You think you're so cute
Keep it real ma, you don't know me like that dance
But I don't want to
Believe me I don't give up that easy, girl
Cause I kinda like your attitude
Jam on it, jam on it
I said, jam jigga jigga jam on it
Get out of your seats and dance to ghetto beat
Girl, don't be shy, just flaunt it
Jam on it, jam on it
I said, jam jigga jigga jam on it
Get out of your seats and dance to ghetto beat
Girl, don't be shy, just flaunt it
The lyrics of Nick Cannon's song "Attitude" talk about the attraction between two individuals in a club setting. The singer, Nick Cannon, is impressed by the girl's attitude, whom he describes as the only chick in the place with style and grace. He mentions her expensive taste and her striking appearance. Even though he likes her, she has an attitude which makes her difficult. The singer seems to be confident and self-assured as he wows that he has seen all the hot chicks and the not so hot chicks, and that he is looking for a Barbie doll who would spend the night with a superstar like him.
Cannon's lyrics use a lot of pickup lines to impress the girl; however, he is also aware of the superficiality of the club culture, where hordes of people come every night to meet someone famous. At the end of the song, he urges the girl to dance and flaunt it and to get out of her seat and enjoy the music. In conclusion, the lyrics of "Attitude" offer a glimpse of the fast-paced world of clubs, where love affairs can be hot but fleeting.

It's like me and you
We seem to have a connection
Me and my mans and your girlfriends too
Let's hang out together with our respective friends
After tonight I'ma only visit you when the moon is blue
I'll only come around on rare occasions
Is that your man right there? What he doin' with you?
Why is your boyfriend acting that way with you?
Sayin' talk to the hands, is that still cute?
Is that hand gesture still fashionable or trendy?
Jimmy Choo boots, that's real cute
Your outfit is fashionable
Only chick in the place with style and grace
You are the only girl in the room with poise and sophistication
And like, 5'8" with a tropical face
You are tall and have unique features
And like, expensive taste, spotted my chain, that's right
You appreciate high-quality, expensive things
Get on my game, gotta see well hear that
You need to pay attention to what I'm saying
Is that a weave can't believe that I said that
I can't believe I commented on your hair
I don't know what possessed you to wear that
I don't understand why you chose to wear that outfit
Girl, you out of tap? Girl, wear that
It doesn't matter if you're out of step, just keep going
Wait to be not, make it hot, man, you feel that?
Don't wait for someone else to make it happen, take action yourself
Smashin' all across the states
I'm traveling extensively
And I stays iced out like frosted flakes
I wear a lot of jewelry

I'm willing to do anything you want to do
Only wanna kick it with you, I'm with that
I only want to hang out with you
Meet me in the parkin' lot at two, I'm with that
Let's meet at the parking lot at two
But you gotta quit that attitude and get back to me
Stop acting that way and come back to me
I don't know you
I don't know you very well
My names not important, I'm as big as Elvis
My name is not significant, but I'm still famous
You think you're so cute
You're aware that you're attractive
Keep it real ma, you don't know me like that dance
Don't assume you know me very well
Believe me I don't give up that easy, girl
It takes more than that to discourage me
Cause I kinda like your attitude
I'm attracted to your personality
I done been to every club in the world
I've been to a lot of nightclubs
I seen them hot chicks and they blockin' and ugly home girls
I've seen attractive women blocking the views of unattractive girls
And ninety nine percent of the time
Most of the time
It be hits like this brain washin' your mind
It's songs like this that get stuck in your head
Yo, you lookin' at my watch, just watchin' the time
You're looking at my watch, which displays the time
You think I'm gonna stop you must be out of your mind
You must be insane to think I'm going to stop
If you ain't V.I.P, then get out of the line
If you're not a very important person, you shouldn't be waiting in line
Think I woke up one day and just decided to rhyme, nah
I didn't just randomly start rapping one day
I ain't got no problems with ya'll
I have no issues with you guys
We all ken I'm tryin' to find a Barbie doll
I'm trying to find a beautiful woman
So I could get a phone number, call her tomorrow
I want to get her number and call her the next day
Ask her, how her night went with a superstar
I'll ask her how her night went with me
Yeah, that's what I was shootin' for
That's what I was hoping for
I'm one hundred percent over the fence
I'm all in and fully committed
You like a mad mechanic throw in a wrench
You're causing problems for me
And my game mad 'cause you playin' the bench
My strategy is not working because of you
It's your attitude that got me whipped in my whip
Your personality has me captivated
Like whips you [Incomprehensible] I can't be mad at you
I can't be angry with you
Lookin' good, you remind me of my Benz
You look great, and you resemble my car
When I'm pushin' through the hood
When I'm driving around the neighborhood
Twenty four inch rims steerin' wheel all good
My car has large rims and a great steering wheel
Envision the bigger picture for real it's all good
Think about the future - it's going to be great
Wouldn't ya'll do it if ya'll could?
Wouldn't you do the same if you could?
But ya'll ain't for stardom
You don't seem to be interested in fame
On the road from autumn to autumn
I'm constantly traveling
From Cali to Atlanta to Atlanta to Harlem
I've traveled from California to Atlanta to Harlem
You don't need Burt Reynolds for the Cannonball run
You don't need special abilities to do well
Jam on it, jam on it
Dance to the music
I said, jam jigga jigga jam on it
Dance to the beat
Get out of your seats and dance to ghetto beat
Stand up and dance to the rhythm
Girl, don't be shy, just flaunt it
Don't be embarrassed, show off your moves
