Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Real smooth, yeah
Here we go again
They said a country boy
Came through and then changed the game
If you what you got ain't hot then, check your flame
If what you spittin ain't hittin then, check your aim
Now who you know come through first time on the scene
No set-ups, no guest appearances in between
Fire like a nigga drinkin gasoline
I keep it hot, like my dirty down in New Orleans
The Rams won the Superbowl, bought myself a ring
Whether you sparkle or you bling, don't matter same thing
Thug drinkin mo', but Don the King
I'm gettin pissy, with Tissy, Missy and Irene
Real close friends that like to try things
Me and my dirties we like to buy things
Fuck around and give me a license to fly things
Look up in the sky and have a Nelly sighting, like
Skurrt, oh! (Gon' break it down)
Oh Nelly! (Gon' change that game around)
And I bet (y'all really gon' hate him now)
Why don't you come ride with me? Oooh-wee!
Skurrt, oh! (Gon' break it down)
Oh Nelly! (Gon' change that game around)
And I bet (y'all really gon' hate him now)
Why don't you come ride with me? Oooh-wee!
First name Nelly, last name Nel
First letter C, last letter L
Six hundred fly by, what the hell?
V-12 full detail, sittin' on Sprewell's
Who in? Can't tell, too much tint
But why the radio so loud? Too much spent
Never be a Bush man, too Bill Clint'
Both country boys, and if the head right, E.I
Head for my residency, lovin' my presidency
I do it like you never did see
Shady to them niggas that's shadin' me
Givin' back to the ones that gave to me
Bought a Caddy for the man that created me (who?)
My daddy, call him Big Nelly (ooh!)
Pimp juice flowin' through that bloodline 'cause
Huh, see what it does? Yeah, you feel the buzz, like
Skurrt, oh! (Gon' break it down)
Oh Nelly! (Gon' change that game around)
And I bet (y'all really gon' hate him now)
Why don't you come ride with me? Oooh-wee!
Skurrt, oh! (Gon' break it down)
Oh Nelly! (Gon' change that game around)
And I bet (y'all really gon' hate him now)
Why don't you come ride with me? Oooh-wee!
One mo' time! N, E, dash L-L-Y
If you didn't like me then, gon' hate me now
Me and Murph' fogged out in the buggy I
With the, suction doors, two bad-ass whores
Holla at Yo, 'cause I need that custom made
Waves, fresh fade, brand new Band-Aid
Skurrt, them boys ain't playin' around
Unless it's her watch according to her face, hopscotch never
Tic-tac-toe, there's too many of those
I need a Rocky Dennis face uh, know what I mean?
Then I'm good to roll, hey, out of control
New motto never fuck the same hoe!
Tryin' to catch Wilt, four more to go
From the bed to the flo', jackrabbit too pro
Knock 'em out, wake baby girl to let her know
Yo you can't even stay here tonight, f'real, I'm sorry
Skurrrrt, oh! (Gon' break it down)
Oh Nelly! (Gon' change that game around)
And I bet (y'all really gon' hate him now)
Why don't you come ride with me? Oooh-wee!
Skurrrrt, oh! (Gon' break it down)
Oh Nelly! (Gon' change that game around)
And I bet (y'all really gon' hate him now)
Why don't you come ride with me? Oooh-wee!
Uh uh, uh, you come ride with me
Uh, uh uh, uh you come ride with me
Skurrt! Uh uh, uh, uh you come ride with me
Uh uh, uh, uh, uh uh
Skurrt, oh! (Gon' break it down)
Oh Nelly! (Gon' change that game around)
And I bet (y'all really gon' hate him now)
Why don't you come ride with me? Oooh-wee!
Skurrt, oh! (Gon' break it down)
Oh Nelly! (Gon' change that game around)
And I bet (y'all really gon' hate him now)
Why don't you come ride with me? Oooh-wee!

Here we go again
Starting anew
Real smooth, yeah
Smooth and cool
They said a country boy
Came through and then changed the game
A rural guy made a groundbreaking shift
If you what you got ain't hot then, check your flame
If you're not sizzling, examine your fire
If what you spittin ain't hittin then, check your aim
If you're not on target, aim better
Your record sales start to slip and then, Nelly to blame
When your sales dip, fault falls on Nelly
Now who you know come through first time on the scene
No set-ups, no guest appearances in between
Who arrived solo initially
Fire like a nigga drinkin gasoline
I keep it hot, like my dirty down in New Orleans
Burning quick like gasoline, like his home squad in Nola
The Rams won the Superbowl, bought myself a ring
Whether you sparkle or you bling, don't matter same thing
He splurged winning a championship
Thug drinkin mo', but Don the King
I'm gettin pissy, with Tissy, Missy and Irene
Real close friends that like to try things
Me and my dirties we like to buy things
Fuck around and give me a license to fly things
Look up in the sky and have a Nelly sighting, like
Partying with pals and buying items
Skurrt, oh! (Gon' break it down)
Oh Nelly! (Gon' change that game around)
And I bet (y'all really gon' hate him now)
Why don't you come ride with me? Oooh-wee!
Invites for a ride
First name Nelly, last name Nel

Six hundred fly by, what the hell?
V-12 full detail, sittin' on Sprewell's
Describing his ride
Who in? Can't tell, too much tint
But why the radio so loud? Too much spent
Never be a Bush man, too Bill Clint'
Both country boys, and if the head right, E.I
Driving discreetly but loudly, not politically aligned
Head for my residency, lovin' my presidency
I do it like you never did see
Shady to them niggas that's shadin' me
Givin' back to the ones that gave to me
Bought a Caddy for the man that created me (who?)
My daddy, call him Big Nelly (ooh!)
Pimp juice flowin' through that bloodline 'cause
Huh, see what it does? Yeah, you feel the buzz, like
Dedication, love, appreciation to his roots and his father
One mo' time! N, E, dash L-L-Y
If you didn't like me then, gon' hate me now
Me and Murph' fogged out in the buggy I
With the, suction doors, two bad-ass whores

Holla at Yo, 'cause I need that custom made
Waves, fresh fade, brand new Band-Aid
Skurrt, them boys ain't playin' around
Unless it's her watch according to her face, hopscotch never
Shopping for custom-made goods
Tic-tac-toe, there's too many of those
I need a Rocky Dennis face uh, know what I mean?
Then I'm good to roll, hey, out of control
New motto never fuck the same hoe!
Avoiding easy or common things
Tryin' to catch Wilt, four more to go
From the bed to the flo', jackrabbit too pro
Knock 'em out, wake baby girl to let her know
Yo you can't even stay here tonight, f'real, I'm sorry
Skurrrrt, oh! (Gon' break it down)
Uh uh, uh, you come ride with me
Uh, uh uh, uh you come ride with me
