Nelly - Nellyville lyrics

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 99 percent, 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? 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

[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]

..

[Outro]

Yeah

There`s no.. way.. yeah

There`s no.. way.. yeah

There`s no.. way.. yeah

There`s no.. way..
