Ya'll know what it is
Yeah man
Black sox

Yeah just a little warm up
I was out in the city of ATL
We got them georgia peaches so sweet that you wanna bite em
And we got the hardest slang, the bang from every city

We keep that carpet green in the city
The saddle in the traffic

The song ‘Make It Rain’ by Usher is a club anthem that talks about the lavish lifestyle and extravagant spending style of people in Atlanta. In the first verse, Usher talks about the city of Atlanta and how they keep it popping. He mentions the ‘Georgia peaches,’ which is a reference to the beautiful women of Georgia. Usher also talks about the slang used in Atlanta and the bang from every city. Usher then asks if anyone knows how to make it rain which refers to the practice of throwing money in the air.
The chorus talks about making it rain and how money is raining in the club. Usher instructs people to throw money up in the air and get down on their knees. The part where he says ‘get down on your knees’ is a reference to the way strippers dance when they are picking up money from the floor. Usher then talks about trying to get someone all alone so they can feel the chrome, which refers to the interior of his Chevrolet drop-top.
The second verse talks about Usher's lifestyle and how he wants to get more women. He mentions his fashion, and how they come to the club like they never left. He instructs anyone who is not with it to get gone. The chorus then repeats, and the song ends with Usher telling everyone to throw up the A since it represents Atlanta.
