I Don
Usher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All my niggas, take a walk with me
You ain't gotta holla, you can talk with me
Just try to learn where my thoughts can be and how I stack figures
Learn why I'm real, still that nigga
I get money, I ain't gotta do a crime
Shit, I hit dimes, what I need with a nine
We got nothing but heat here, beware, we here
What's my name? Got chicks twisted, like, what's my game?
Pimp things still the same
I smash it, I don't harass it
Ma, I'm a baller, I score and pass it
Feel me, still be filthy
If making hits is a crime, I plead guilty
And this is what we came to do
Party, Diddy, Usher, game is through, come on
It's right around eleven o'clock
One of your girls just called
Asked you how you look, are you ready?
You tell her you look hot
Not to worry at all
Niggas will be shook, y'all doing it heavy
She's telling you she might change
But you tell her not to
She know that she looks stunning, it'll be fun
The club will be full of game
But none of that has got you
Me, I think you're running 'cause I'm the one
You see
I don't know what you came to do, girl
What you came to do tonight
But I came to party oh
I don't know what you came to do, girl
What you came to do tonight
But I came to party
You're probably thinking to yourself, what's the occasion?
And believe me, girl, I don't do sex for fun
The perfect gentleman in every situation
And the only thing that's missing is the one
Is it you?
I don't know what you came to do, girl
What you came to do tonight
But I came to party
I don't know what you came to do, girl
What you came to do tonight
But I came to party
Sing it (la, la, la)
Ghetto girls (la, la, la)
Suburban girls (la, la, la)
International girls, you smell me? (la, la, la, la)
(La, la, la)
Ghetto girls (la, la, la)
Suburban girls (la, la, la)
International girls, you smell me? (la, la, la, la)
Had to take the time
To open up your mind
That's exactly what you are: open
You got the mesmerizing grind
Your shape should be a crime
Damn baby you're a star, you're smoking
You're probably thinking to yourself, what's the occasion?
And believe me, girl, I don't do sex for fun
The perfect gentleman in every situation
And the only thing that's missing is the one
Is it you?
I don't know what you came to do, girl
What you came to do tonight (what you came to do)
But I came to party
I don't know what you came to do, girl
What you came to do tonight
But I came to party
Sing it (la, la, la)
Ghetto girls (la, la, la)
Suburban girls (la, la, la)
International girls, you smell me? (la, la, la, la)
(La, la, la)
Ghetto girls (la, la, la)
Suburban girls (la, la, la)
International girls, you smell me? (la, la, la, la)
It's real serious
You're so fine, girl
At the end of the day, I'm going home with you
I don't know what you came to do, girl
What you came to do tonight (you're so fine, girl)
But I came to party (at the end of the day, I'm going home with you)
In Usher Featuring P. Diddy's song "I Don't Know," Usher starts off by inviting his friends to take a walk with him, allowing them to understand his thoughts and how he stacks his money. He emphasizes that he is a legitimate businessman and doesn't need to commit crimes to make his wealth. Usher then addresses the women in the club who are trying to impress him, letting them know that he's not just after sex for fun, but rather he's searching for something more meaningful. He questions what their intentions are for the night and tells them that he's simply there to party. The song continues with a repeated chorus where Usher sings about not knowing what the women came to do for the night, but he came to have a good time.
The lyrics of the song "I Don't Know" showcases Usher's intention to party and enjoy the night without any ulterior motives. He makes it clear that he isn't interested in committing crimes or casual hook-ups. Instead, he just wants to have a good time with his friends and enjoy the company of interesting women. The song itself is a mix of R&B, hip-hop, and pop, which was a signature style for Usher at the time of the release. Additionally, P. Diddy's presence in the song adds to the hip-hop vibe of the track.

You tell her you look hot
You tell her that you look attractive
Not to worry at all
She doesn't need to worry
Niggas will be shook, y'all doin' it heavy
People will be impressed by how well you look and how well you're doing

It'll be fine
Everything will be okay
The club will be full of game
The club will be filled with attractive people
But none of that has got'chu
However, none of them are as impressive as you

I believe you are trying to escape or avoid something
'Cause I'm the one
Because I am the right person, the one you really want
You're probably thinking to yourself
You may be reflecting on your thoughts
What's the occasion?
What is the reason, the special event?
And believe me girl I don't do sex for fun
Believe me, I am not interested in casual sex
The perfect gentleman in every situation
I always strive to be a polite and respectful man
And the only thing that's missing - is the one
The only thing missing in my life is the right partner

Are you the one I am looking for?
