Nelly
This song is about giving all you got no matter what. Its a good pump up song and I listen to it before basketball games. The only thing that I think is a little bad is it sounds cocky and full of yourself.

C'mon, uhh, uhh, uhh
ReplyDeleteGuess who's back 'urr derrty, S-T-L derby
I'm like Magic to Kareem, mayne you tell me I ain't Worthy
I ain't speakin 'bout a jersey, I'm speakin 'bout income
DID YOU HEAR THAT ELIZABETH? HERE COME THE BIG ONE!
I put mo' money in the community than you got in yo' budget
I wipe my ass with yo' advance to the toilet then flush it
My last stand be a stand of a General Custer
I hot dog cause I can, I got the cheese and mustard
I got the stats of a hall of famer - in just two records
That's why I'm back up at the Superbowl - with Julius Peppers
I got that cain't stop, won't stop, in my veins
That's why they cain't stop, won't stop, screamin the name
NELLY! NELLY! Go tell a friend to tell a friend
I'ma keep the same grin whether I, lose or win
Up, or down ten, I'ma fight to the end
[breathing hard] Let's go
[Chorus: L.U.V.E.]
Ain't no way they can stop me now Nelly
Cause I'm on my way, I can feel my reign comin
It's the blood of a champion, pumpin
Deep inside my veins, too much pride to be runnin
I'ma give what I can and more, even if
My blood, my sweat, and my tears don't mean nothin
It's the heart of a champion (it's the heart of me)
(It's the heart of a..) in me
[Nelly]
I'm the first pick, the first round, signin bonus profound
Playin for his hometown, reppin for the home ground
And gettin bucked like Michael Redd, tell 'em again
I gets bucked like Michael Redd, heard what I said?
The MV-P of the game, intensity still the same
I'm shootin out from my reign, with Peyton Manning type aim
Can't stop me from scorin so they results to just hackin
So there's, three of us now - me, A.I. and Shaq and
From the look to the eyes I say
Cover man with more heart than Hallmark on Valentine's Day
I'm the one that you've been Raven about, like Ray Lewis
I think it hard to go and change your route
Cause you don't know if I'm blitzin or if I'm sittin and readin
Waitin for you to go and trip, drop back and throw up a pick, man
AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN - no AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN - no
AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN - no, AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN - no
[Chorus]
[Nelly]
It's like a game time decision made on how I can twurk it
If hard work pays off then easy work is worthless
My work habit ain't no habit man, I do it on purpose
I push myself to the limit so my talent'll surface
So now it's, curtains and drapes, on anybody who hates
Dislikin what I'm recitin, bitin what I've been writin
I've been dogfightin, scratchin and clawin on every hike
Tryin to make you remember me like you "Remember the Titans"
Cause I'm a WARR-IOR, my daddy was a soldier
A Vietnam veteran, derrty I thought I told ya
I'm supposed ta, whip up your town in Testarossas
Heatin like Folgers mayne, I'm young black and rich
As good as it gets, and givin your point guard fits
They give the same pressure but man he ain't sayin, shhhhh...
AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN - No, AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN - No
AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN - No, AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN - No
[Chorus - repeat 2X]
I definitely understand how this is a pump up song, but what about the lyrics? How does he talk about 'giving it your all?' What examples does he use? Why do you think he is choosing these examples?
ReplyDeleteI think its a good motivater for life and for games, because it's saying/telling the one whos listening to push and when you give it your all you get the wanted resluts
ReplyDeleteI think this is an awesome pump up song. I myself have dabbled with listening to this before sports but, I have also noticed the lyrics and how Nelly seems to be a little more concerned about telling people how amazing he and his money are rather than actually pumping you up.
