Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, this is for all the sexy ladies out there
Uh, walkin' around downtown
Shoppin' at the malls, yeah

(You're, so, sexy) so sexy
(Perfect, for, me) and this is for
My ladies that be steady sippin' Cris'
Always lookin' nice, put some ice on they belly or they wrist
Girls that be thick off in they thigh, I wanna kick it in the Chi
They gon' be fuckin' with some Kelly and the Twist'
Baby now look, model girls, Gucci and Prada girls
And all the ghetto divas in the hood
Women that be steady stackin' ends
Rollin Lexus or Benz with rims and know how to keep it lookin' good
Go on witcha fine thick ass
Somebody gon' snatch you so I gotta make you mine quick fast
See I come and pass, I don't really wanna wonder
So I gotta put her numbers on my sidekick fast
Rollin witcha mob workin' hard, gettin' money, pullin' capers
If I ain't got papers you will bring me some beans home
Supervisor givin' orders on the job
But you still lookin' good with them skin-tight jeans on
Lookin' hot in them heels, I think I want that
Come and back it up to the bottom of my throwback
With you rollin' yo' rims lookin' like a Kodak
Watch I drive I wanna smoke, she will roll that
Miss mobstress rollin' with the hardest
Holdin' it down like a female Joe Pesci
And I wanna make her a made woman
And I hope she gon' let me, cause she looks so sexy
Oh! And this is for them girls that be wantin', dutty
And this is for them girls that be lovin', dutty

R. Kelly's "So Sexy" is a song dedicated to women; it praises all the various qualities women possess that make them so desirable to men. The lyrics note the various physical attributes that draw R. Kelly's attention, such as manicures, pedicures, good hair, and skin-tight jeans. The song also makes mention of women who know how to keep themselves financially stable, and even those who enjoy indulging in some fine dining. The lyrics go on to describe women of various backgrounds, including those in the modeling industry or those on the grind, and those who are happy to kick it or those focused on their careers.
The song, however, also includes elements of R. Kelly's signature dramatic storytelling. He tries to win the heart of a particular woman, describing his desires in detail and offering her the prospect of a more secure life. He promises to be faithful, shows interest in her life, and is even willing to provide for her financially. Despite all these, the woman remains coy and hard-to-get; R. Kelly finds himself enchanted with her and keeps chasing after her.
Interestingly, "So Sexy" caused problems with R. Kelly's record label, Jive Records. The song was leaked to radio stations before Jive released an official single, causing the label to miss out on some promotional opportunities. Jive also took issue with R. Kelly's decision to feature other artists on the track, including Gotti and Gucci Mane. Despite this controversy, "So Sexy" went on to achieve commercial success, charting high in the US and becoming one of R. Kelly's most played songs in clubs.

The vibes on this...ridiculous....right back to the summer 2000s man these young folks have no idea how we got down!!
@Joe_Parmesan
I wanted to be older so badly during that era. Loved so many of these hits from the early-mid 2000s. They made so many great summer jams, but even winter jams too
