Things Are Getting Better
n·e·r·d Lyrics

Check it out bitch
Listen up, pay attention

See sometimes
Occasionally

You gotta realize
You need to understand

Where you are in your life
Your position in life

And knowing you feel good and I feel good baby
We both feel good

Listen to me
Pay attention to what I'm saying

Walk in the club wit a bunch of thugs
Enter the club with a group of tough guys

Modify ya rings so they call it drugs
Alter your jewelry to give the appearance of drug use

See a hundred girls, get a thousand hugs
Receive a lot of attention and affection from many girls

One's in my ear talkin' bout her tub
A girl is whispering seductively in my ear

She likes me
The girl is attracted to me

She say she needs me
The girl claims she requires my presence

Say she wants me
The girl has a strong desire for me

'Cause I'm the shit
Because I'm great

Said she likes me
Repeated claim of attraction

She said she needs me
Repeated claim of dependence

She wants to see me
The girl desires to meet with me

[Chorus:]
Refrain

Now it seems that things are really gettin' better-ah
Improvement is evident

In my life
In my own personal circumstances

Is it just today or things are really gettin' better-ah
Questioning if the progress is lasting or temporary

We'll see tonight
Response to the question - we'll determine later

Hey little girl wit the tattoo thigh
Addressing a young woman with a tattoo on her leg

Baby you look like a slice of pie
Complimenting her appearance

Hope my style don't cause you fear
Hoping she is not intimidated by his persona

Matter of fact baby, where you goin' from here?
Curious about her future plans

Kiss on me baby
Requesting a kiss

Lick on me baby
Requesting a sensual act

But you can't own me baby
Rejecting the idea of possession

Kiss on me baby
Repeated request for a kiss

Lick on me baby
Repeated request for a sensual act

But you can't own me baby
Repeated rejection of the idea of possession

[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
Refrain

Don't look at me like "what is up?"
Warning someone not to approach with confrontational attitude

Said I was a nerd but I ain't a punk
Affirming nerdy status but not being aggressive

If you talk shit be prepared to thump
Be ready for the potential consequences of disrespectful words

Plus terrar's four-four is prepared to dump
Terrar's firearm is ready to discharge

Watch out boy
Be aware of the consequences

Get back then
Step away

Watch how you're actin'
Be mindful of your behavior

'Cause I'm the shit
Because I'm great

I'm tellin' you watch it now
Emphasizing the warning

Tell ya boys to get back then
Commanding others to step away

Watch how ya'll actin'
Continuation of cautionary statement

'Cause we the shit
'Cause we're great

[Chorus: Repeat 4X]
Refrain

How do you feel?
Question to someone's emotional state

I feel good (3x)
Response that they feel good

Girl, girl, girl (4x)
Repetition of addressing a female
