  • Where they at? Where they at?
    Where they at? Where they at?
    Where they at? Where they at?
    Where they at? Where they at? (Come on, now)

    If you want to go and take a ride with me
    We 3-wheeling in the fo' with the gold D's
    Oh, why do I live this way? (Hey, must be the money)
    If you wanna go and get high with me
    Smoke a L in the back of the Benz-E
    Oh, why must I feel this way? (Hey, must be the money)

    In the club on the late night, feeling right
    Looking, trying to spot something real nice
    Looking for a little shorty
    I noticed so that I can take home (I can take home)
    She can be 18 (18) with an attitude
    Or 19, kinda snotty, acting real rude
    But as long as you a thicky-thicky-thick girl
    You know that it's on (you know that it's on)

    I peep something coming towards me on the dance floor
    Sexy and real slow
    Saying she was peeping and I dig the last video
    "So when Nelly, can we go?" How could I tell her no?
    Her measurements were 36-25-34
    "I like the way you brush your hair
    And I like those stylish clothes you wear
    I like the way the light hit the ice and glare
    And I can see you, boo, from way over there"

    If you want to go and take a ride with me
    We 3-wheeling in the fo' with the gold D's
    Oh, why do I live this way? (Hey, must be the money)
    If you wanna go and get high with me
    Smoke a L in the back of the Benz-E
    Oh, why must I feel this way? (Hey, must be the money)

    Face and body Frontenac, don't know how to act
    Without no vouchers on her boots she's bringing nothing back
    You should feel the impact, shop on plastic
    When the sky's the limit and them haters can't get past that
    Watch me as I gas that 4 dot 6 Range
    Watch the candy paint change, every time I switch lanes
    It feel strange now
    Making a living off my brain, instead of 'caine now
    I got the title from my momma, put the whip in my own name now
    Damn, shit done changed now
    Running credit checks with no shame now
    I feel the fame now (come on), I can't complain now (no more)
    Shit, I'm the mayne now, in and out my own town
    I'm getting pages out of New Jersey from Courtney B
    Telling me about a party up in NYC
    And can I make it? Damn right, I be on the next flight
    Paying cash, first class, sitting next to Vanna White, c'mon

    If you want to go and take a ride with me
    We 3-wheeling in the fo' with the gold D's
    Oh, why do I live this way? (Hey, must be the money)
    If you wanna go and get high with me
    Smoke a L in the back of the Benz-E
    Oh, why must I feel this way? (Hey, must be the money)

    If you want to go and take a ride with me
    We 3-wheeling in the fo' with the gold D's
    Oh, why do I live this way? (Hey, must be the money)
    If you wanna go and get high with me
    Smoke a L in the back of the Benz-E
    Oh, why must I feel this way? (Hey, must be the money)

    Check, check, yo, I know something you don't know
    And I've got something to tell ya
    You won't believe how many people straight doubted the flow
    Most said that I was a failure
    But now the same motherfuckers asking me for dough
    And I'm yelling, "I can't help ya"
    "But Nelly can we get tickets to the next show?"
    Hell no (what's witchyou?), you for real?

    Hey yo, now that I'm a fly guy, and I fly high
    Niggas want to know why, why I fly by
    But yo, it's all good, Range Rover all wood
    Do me like you should, fuck me good, suck me good
    We be them stud niggas, 'wishing you was' niggas
    Popping like we drug dealers, sipping Crissy, bubb' macking
    Honey in the club, me in the Benz
    Icy grip, telling me to leave with you and your friends

    So if shorty wanna knock, we knocking to this
    And if shorty wanna rock, we rocking to this
    And if shorty wanna pop, we popping the Crist'
    Shorty wanna see the ice, then I ice the wrist
    City talk, Nelly listen, Nelly talk, city listen
    When I fuck fly bitches, when I walk pay attention
    See the ice and the glist', niggas staring, know they diss
    Honies looking all "They wish," come on boo, gimme kiss, c'mon

    If you want to go and take a ride with me
    We 3-wheeling in the fo' with the gold D's
    Oh, why do I live this way? (Hey, must be the money)
    If you wanna go and get high with me
    Smoke a L in the back of the Benz-E
    Oh, why must I feel this way? (Hey, must be the money)

    If you want to go and take a ride with me
    We 3-wheeling in the fo' with the gold D's
    Oh, why do I live this way? (Hey, must be the money)
    If you wanna go and get high with me
    Smoke a L in the back of the Benz-E
    Oh, why must I feel this way? (Hey, must be the money)

    Hey, must be the money
    Hey, must be the money
    Hey, must be the money
    Must be the money

    If you want to go and take a ride with me
    We 3-wheeling in the fo' with the gold D's
    Oh, why do I live this way? (Hey, must be the money)
    If you wanna go and get high with me
    Smoke a L in the back of the Benz-E
    Oh, why must I feel this- Writer/s: Cornell Haynes, Eldra DeBarge, Etterlene Jordan, Jason Epperson, Levell Webb, William DeBarge
