Nellyville

Nelly]

Welcome to Nellyville,where all newborns get a half-a-mill'

Sons,get the tan DeVille,soon as they can reach the wheel

And daughters,get diamonds the size of their age -help me out now

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 99percent,in Nellyville

Chorus]

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

Nelly]

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?40acres and a mule

Fuck that!Nellyville -40acres 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

Chorus]

Nelly]Everybody,uh,now everybody say

Interlude]

Well I want to go,please let me go

I need to go -down to Nellyville

I need to see,what I can say

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

Nelly]

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

Chorus]

There's no..way..
