Nelly - Nellyville lyrics
[Nelly - Nellyville lyrics]
Welcome to Nellyville
Where all newborns get a half-a-mill'
Sons, get sedan DeVilles
Soon as they can reach the wheel
And daughters
Get diamonds the size of their
Age - I'm talkin'
One year get one carat
Two years get two carats
Three years get three carats
And so on into marriage
Nobody livin' average, everybody jang-a lang
Nobody livin' savage, e'rybody got change
Even the paperboy deliver out the
Back of a Range
It's not a game, it's a beautiful thang
Imagine blocks and blocks of no cocaine
Blocks with no gunplay
Ain't nobody shot
So ain't no news that day
Ain't nobody snitchin, they refuse to say
Every month - we take a vote
On what the weather should be
And if we vote it rains - know
How wet we want it to be
And if we vote it snow - know
How deep we want it to get
But the sun gon' shine 99 percent
In Nellyville
There's no.. way.. I.. I could explaiiiiin
The way I feel right now
There's no.. way.. I.. I could explaiiiiin
The way I feel about livin in Nellyville
I got that good at e'ry gas station
Pull on up
Give me a half a ounce of that shit
Fill it up
We got straws for the bottles
Outlaw the cups
And we gon' make it happen
Ain't no need for no luck
Ain't no lotteries
No pick 3's or pick 2's
Keep the money in your family
Gamble amongst your crew
Cause the dice gon' do what
The dice gon' do
And if you take a life
You gon' lose yours too
Ain't no trials, it's automatic
You drop 'em right where it happen
You do unto others if you don't
Want it don't do the cappin
Think that's cool? 40 acres and a mule
Fuck that! Nellyville - 40 acres and a pool
Six bedrooms, full bath with a jacuzz'
Six-car garage, pavement smooth
Both front and back deck 'nough
Room to land a jet
And you ain't reached the city
That's just the projects
There's no.. way.. I.. I could explaiiiiin
The way I feel right now
There's no.. way.. I.. I could explaiiiiin
The way I feel about livin in Nellyville
Well I want to go, please let me go
I need to go - down to Nellyville
I need to see, what I can see
Won't you and me - go to Nellyville
I want to go, so bad
I just want to go and look
Won't you please take me on in
I just know I gotta be there
No unexpectancy, like teenage pregnancy
And physical mental attraction
Your only ecstasy
Your own destiny, create your own recipe
If you ain't livin accordin to
Dirty then you stressin' me
"And who are you?" Who me? I'm the mayor
And any problems you got, I live up thurr
"Where's that?" The house on the hill
Welcome mat of fur
When you pass by that thang
Be polite and don't sturr
There's no.. way.. I.. I could explaiiiiin
The way I feel right now
There's no.. way.. I.. I could explaiiiiin
The way I feel about livin in Nellyville
Yeah
