'Cause the whole wide world ain't heard shit
So let me be quick to sit you down in your place
And tell you right to your face

[Verse 2: Nelly]
So you want to be a Midwest Hippie off the banks of the Mississippi
Your chances winnin are iffy slim or pretty
Give ya *1* like *Penny* if you want it the hard way
Who that is dirty comin right down Broadway?
Herre the champagne, platnium and wood frames
Wood grain all up in the hummers and the mustangs
Code name Nelly got messages on the tele
By Lisa, Tomika, Angela, Rachel, and Sister Shelly
Oh really, you say some of these names might ring a belly
Ain't no tellin Cuda school eh! night schoolin Nelly
Come herre ho (Come herre ho)

Alcohol get you horny and freaky then drink some more
P.O. trippin bout a nigga takin drug inhancements

So if you came in wit which would never happen
You respectin my game I'm doin this shit rapid
Now we handclappin stackin papers for Ali
Just 'cause I'm doin it right you want to be like me?
Just take a bag of doin thangs and grab a hustler and put yo name on it
And maybe you'll respect yourself in the mornin young pimpin
[Verse 3: Ali]
