Kellys 12 Play
The Dream Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The last time it was right behind confessions, yeah
I'm looking for the white cover, the name's in the red letters
Can't wait to pop it in my Bose
And put our bodies together
[Chorus]
I'm fixing to stunt like my daddy up in here
Clean the CD, check for scratches
Get up on my mattress
Now we doing it to Kelly's twelve play
You can't ruin it while we doing it to Kelly's twelve play
Like a DJ, we screwing it while we doing it
To Kelly's twelve play
Ooh, ooh, oh in it while we doing it
To Kelly's play
Her body's the cup my body's the coffee
And I'm brewing it while we doing it
To Kelly's twelve play
We come up off that bed
Push up to the dresser, yeah , yeah
Got her all up on my CD player
Skip, skip, skip, skip, skip
Skip back to seven, yeah
And we both sweating it out like its a fire up in here
Reach my hand out to the remote
Gotta play that one mo again
As we repeat the steps one through twelve
She like "Thank you Dream"
I'm like "No thank you Kells"
[Chorus]
CD spinning, I got you in the mood
Everything he say, I'ma do
And, I'ma keep it gangsta
And stay true
Baby I promise
Just hear me through
Let me hear those ooh, ooh, oohs
We're almost at the end girl, let it out
Twelve, twenty four, thirty six, forty eight
If you up to sixty, shawty, press play
I'm stunting like my daddy up in here
Girl, you got my lips hanging off your ear
She pops out the CD
Pops in another
We under the covers
And now we doing it to
Dream's love hate
In the first verse of The Dream's song Kellys 12 Play, the singer goes through his CD collection searching for a specific CD they want to play while being intimate with their partner. The CD they are looking for is white with red lettering. The track the singer is looking for is Kelly's 12 Play. The singer describes wanting to put the CD in his Bose speaker and turn up the volume while they are getting intimate.
Then comes the chorus, where they sing about doing it to Kelly's 12 Play. The lyrics suggest that sex with their partner would be ruined if they were not listening to the song. The way the singer sings the song is described as being similar to how a DJ screws the track while playing it. There is a comparison made between the bodies of the singer and their partner and coffee and a cup, with the two being compared to each other. The song seems to be about how music can enhance the intimate experience.
In the second verse, the singer and their partner are described to be on the bed, getting intimate. They then move to the dresser, with the partner all over the singer's CD player. They skip the track to number seven and repeat the steps from one to twelve. The singer thanks Kelly and his partner thanks The Dream for this beautiful and intimate moment. The lyrics describe how the music takes the singer and their partner on a beautiful journey of love and sexual intimacy.
