Peace up, A-Town down
Yeah, ok, lil' Jon

Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah

I'm in the club with my homies, try'na get a lil' v-I
Keep it down on the low key, 'cause you know how it feels
I said shawty she was checkin' up on me
From the game she was spittin' my ear you'd think that she knew me
So we decided to chill

Conversation got heavy
She had me feelin' like she's ready to blow (watch out oh, watch out)
She saying "come get me, come get me"
So I got up and followed her to the floor
She said "baby, let's go", when I told her I said

Yeah (yeah) shawty got down an' said come and get me
Yeah (yeah) I got so caught up I forgot she told me
Yeah (yeah) her and my girl would be the best of homies
Yeah (yeah) next thing I knew she was all up on me screaming

Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah

She's all up in my head now
Got me thinking that it might good idea to take her with me
'Cause she's ready to leave
Now I gotta keep it real now
'Cause on a one-to-ten she's a certified twenty, and that just ain't me

'Cause I do know if I take that chance just where is it gonna lead
But what I do know is the way she dance makes shawty alright with me
The way she getting low
I'm like yeah, just work that out for me
She asked for one more dance and I'm
Like yeah, how the hell am I supposed to leave? And I said

Yeah (yeah) shawty got down an' said come and get me
Yeah (yeah) I got so caught up I forgot she told me
Yeah (yeah) her and my girl would be the best of homies
Yeah (yeah) next thing I knew she was all up on me screaming

Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah

Luda', watch out my outfit's ridiculous
In the club lookin' so conspicuous
And rowl! these women all on the prowl
If you hold the head steady I'm a milk the cow
Forget about the game I'm a spit the truth,
I won't stop till I get em in they birthday suits
So gimmie the rhythm and it'll be off with they clothes
Then bend over to the front and touch your toes
I left the jag and I took the Rolls
If they ain't cutting then I put em on foot patrol
How you like me now
When my pinky's valued over three hundred thousand
Lets drank you the one to please
Ludacris fill cups like double D's
Me and Ush once more and we leave em dead
We want a lady in the street but a freak in the bed to say

Yeah (yeah) shawty got down an' said come and get me
Yeah (yeah) I got so caught up I forgot she told me
Yeah (yeah) her and my girl would be the best of homies
Yeah (yeah) next thing I knew she was all up on me screaming

Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah

Take that and rewind it back

Take that and rewind it back
Usher got the voice make ya booty go

Take that and rewind it back
Ludacris got the flow make ya booty go




Take that and rewind it back
Lil' Jon got the beat make ya booty go

Overall Meaning

The song “Yeah” by Usher, featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris, describes a night out in the club with friends. The opening lyrics are, "Peace up, A-Town down," which refers to Atlanta, Georgia where Lil Jon, one of the featured artists, is from. The song has become something of an anthem for Atlanta. As the night goes on, Usher meets a woman who is interested in him. She is "spitting game" at him, implying that she is trying to impress him. They decide to dance together, and he can’t resist her moves. He is unsure whether to take a chance and pursue her, but her dancing convinces him. The song describes both the temptation of the moment and the uncertainty that comes with it.


The chorus of “Yeah” expresses the excitement and energy of the night, with Usher, Lil Jon, and Ludacris chanting the word “yeah” repeatedly. Lil Jon produced the song, and his signature style of chanting phrases and repeating sounds is present throughout the song. Ludacris has a verse in which he raps about his confidence and success with women. He uses a lot of metaphors and wordplay, talking about “milking the cow” and “filling cups like double D’s”. The use of these sexualized metaphors is a hallmark of Ludacris’s style.


Overall, “Yeah” is a high-energy club song that celebrates the excitement and uncertainty of a night out with friends. It is a celebration of Atlanta, and Lil Jon's production style is a big part of the song's appeal. With the addition of Ludacris's verse, the song becomes a celebration of confidence and sexual prowess as well. In combination, these elements make “Yeah” a classic party anthem that is still popular today.
