Highlighting the importance of not giving up

Restating his enthusiastic attitude

Let me tell you something
Introduction to his lyrics and message

Sometimes I rhyme slow, sometimes I rhyme quick
Acknowledging his versatile flow and style

I was on 1-2-5 and Saint Nich
Referring to a specific location in New York City

Chillin' with these chick
Spending time with women

Named Tondalea
Naming one of the women he was with

Was a hot girl and everybody wanted to slay her
Explaining the popularity of the woman he was with and the desire of other men

She wasn't fond of players
Revealing the woman's preference for more committed men

Only wanted ballers
Emphasizing the importance of financial success to the woman he was with

To spoil her
Implying that the woman he was with wanted to be lavished with gifts and expensive things

Six figures and camcorders
Highlighting the wealth and luxury of his lifestyle at the time

So what you trying to tell me dear
Asking a partner or love interest what they want from him

I got Bentley, Benz send in Mr. Belvedere
Bringing attention to his material possessions, including luxury cars

I just want to blow your mind
Expressing his desire to impress and excite someone

I'm talkin' literally blow your mind
Accentuating his passion and enthusiasm to be with someone

My repratoir is Menage Trois
Referencing his sexual experiences and preferences

And exotic cars chilling with the hottest stars
Describing the lifestyle he leads and the company he keeps

And it ain't no stopping this
Expressing his unwavering confidence and determination

I can't help it I'm an optimist
Acknowledging his optimistic outlook on life and career

And Ima make ya head bop to this
Stating his intention to create music that will make people dance

And at the end you gon rock to this
Asserting that his music will be popular and well-received

Encouraging people to recognize and acknowledge him

Repeating the spelling of his name again

Once again affirming his name and expressing disbelief or excitement

Ay yo, I came in the door
Describing his entrance into a room or club

I said it before
Repeating something he has said or done in the past

I never the ladiez hyptonize me no more
Claiming that he is no longer swayed by women's charms

But, back to the manuscript
Returning to the topic at hand

'Cause I don't think you can handle this
Asserting that his talent or skill is beyond what most people can handle

From New York to Los Angeles
Referencing the two cities where he has spent most of his time

I think the whole world scandalous
Implying that people everywhere are often corrupt or dishonest

I'm just trying to keep the candles lit
Working hard to maintain success and keep momentum going

Make the party people dance to this
Creating music that is energetic and dance-worthy

Get out your seat and clap your hands to this
Encouraging listeners to get up and dance along with the music

Cause I came too far
Acknowledging his success and hard work to get where he is

For me to be bouswar
Unwilling to let anything slow him down or stop him from succeeding

It's a Bently to you, to me it's a blue car
Emphasizing the difference in perspective between himself and others when it comes to wealth and luxury

So Branson pass me a jar
Requesting a drink

Cause these cats done went too far
Referring to people who have crossed him or done something he disapproves of

One phone call send two cars
Implying that he has the power and influence to get what he wants quickly

And still get searched by security guards
Joking about how fame and success do not exempt anyone from being searched for security purposes

I guess that's what I have to do
Accepting the drawbacks of fame and success

Take the game international
Expanding his success and influence beyond the United States

Asking people to refer to him by a specific name or title

(La La La La La La La La La La La La)
Interlude with a repetitive melody and no lyrics

Encouraging a woman to dance or move to the music

Expressing his desire to see someone dancing or moving to the music

Interrupting the music and changing the tone of the song

Rejecting the idea that there is a limit to his success or potential

My aim is winning
Expressing his ambition and desire to succeed

Got asian women
Admitting to his attraction to Asian women

Implying that he has sex with these women and needs to change his clothes afterward

After I done blazed and hit em
Describing his sexual encounters with these women

Expressing his desire to be close to someone he cares about

And take it straight to the top with you
Working to achieve success with someone he cares about

And do what I gots to do
Doing whatever it takes to reach his goals

Acknowledging the challenges of achieving success

'Cause I ain't trying to stop you boo
Encouraging someone else to pursue their own success as well

I got an agenda
Having a clear plan or goal in mind

Got on a ninja
Wearing clothing or accessories associated with ninja warriors

One wheelin' and killin' it not to offend ya
Riding a motorcycle or other vehicle in a dangerous or risky way, but not intending to offend anyone

That's when I met this chick named Brenda
Introducing a new character or person he has met

Tender, her whole body bend like fender
Complimenting Brenda's physical appearance and flexibility

Encouraging someone to dance or move to the music

Expressing his desire to see someone dancing or moving to the music

Referring to himself as a powerful or successful figure
