Best of N.E.R.D.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!

Every once in a while there is some asshole
Giving you shit, cause something in his life won't fold
Usually, I'd walk away
The peace offering another day
He seems not to want to trade
So he must pay (it's the inevitable, it's going down!)

[Chorus:]
He's talking! (fuck him up!) at me (fuck him up!)
Instead of! (fuck him up!) to me (fuck him up!)
My intelligence! (fuck him up!) sacked me (fuck him up!)
But he say's! (fuck him up!) he'll run through me (fuck him up!)
(Thrasher!) I'm a (Thrasher!)
I'm a (Thrasher!) you ain't know (Thrasher!)
That I'm a (Thrasher!) I'm a (Thrasher!)
I'm a (Thrasher!) I'm a (Thrasher!) I'm a?

Every once in a while there's that same asshole
Try to swing and hit, cause the things he can't control
And God knows what will unfurl
Either with or without his girl
Cause I browsed down, his fingers curled
Like it's his world (its the inevitable, it's going down!)

[Chorus:]

Now I know that slime ballers laying out and all
But he said things that were so uncalled for
But he deserved it (the boy deserved it)
And I know you're his girl but you should ride wit me
'Cause I'll show you feelings that you've never seen
Keep this rocking it's brown mixed with green (we'll be swervin')

Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!

[Chorus:]
Girl you don't know what you are to me
You are my baby doll
You are my compass star
You drive me up the wall
Girl you don't know what you mean to me
You are my everything
You are my alien
From s-p-a-see-e

Please don't go
Wait
I just met you
Girl I feel just like a bird
Though I am just a nerd
I could fly around this world
With power from this word
We'll bring the desert rain clouds
Fuck reality and doubt
Well they'll be vultures I see
They'll chase me
Girl I'm flying with thee
Roses are red
Yellow and white
Where have you been all my life
Violets are blue
And I'll be too
If you leave
'Cause I just met you

[Chorus:]

You're my pop rocks
You're my cotton candy
When the beach is hot and sandy
You're my water
You're my morning shower
Subconscious melody
You're my lsd
Someone's perfect daughter 3x
Roses are red
Yellow and white
Where have you been all my life
Violets are blue
And I'll be too
If you leave
'Cause I just met you 4x
I'm sorry
But I got to
Got to go
I gotta go
I just met you

Got credit cards in my pockets
But I walk past bums all day
Why why why
I see dealers pushing poisons
But I have nothing to say
Why why why
I date two people at the same time
Knowing it is twice the sin
Why why why
Oh yes I have this little problem here I'm being vain again
Why why

Hey man I'm just listening to His teachings, my soul and heart
This is God's movie and I'm just trying to play my part
Time is running out and we've broken the seventh seal
The more I read I realize that UFOs are real

Hey little Suzie
You don't have to cry no more
hey little Bobby
Don't you worry about the war
Hey little Jessica
You just keep up with the score
'Cause God closes the windows
Next thing you know He opens doors

I blew my paycheck getting real high today
Why why why
I lied and told my nephew that I had no more time to play
Why why why
I saw this lady gettin' robbed I looked away
Why why why
I put my grandma in a home and made her stay
Why why

Hey man I'm just listening to His teachings, my soul and heart
This is God's movie and I'm just trying to play my part
Time is running out and we've broken the seventh seal
The more I read I realize that UFOs are real

Hey little Suzie
You don't have to cry no more
hey little Bobby
Don't you worry about the war
Hey little Jessica
You just keep up with the score
Cuz God closes the windows
Next thing you know He opens doors

Singing la la la la la
Singing la la la la la

I give in church
But you are asking me where it really goes
Why, why, why
I could give more but I end up spending it on shoes and clothes
Why, why, why
I chew ice, look at my watch some Middle Eastern babies sold
Why, why, why
In the winter I have furs knowing some poor child is cold
Why why

Hey man I'm just listening to His teachings, my soul and heart
This is God's movie and I'm just trying to play my part
Time is running out and we've broken the seventh seal
The more I read I realize that UFOs are real

What if the holy trinity was Christians, Muslims, Jews
Yet we bomb each other for more coverage on the news
He was this he wasn't that he never touched the girl either way
Our messiah shall save the world

Hey little Suzie
You don't have to cry no more
hey little Bobby
Don't you worry about the war
Hey little Jessica
You just keep up with the score
'Cause God closes windows
Next thing you know He opens doors

(singing la la la la la)

Hey little Suzie
You don't have to cry no more
Hey little Bobby
Don't you worry about the war
Hey little Jessica
You just keep up with the score
'Cause God closes windows
Next thing you know He opens doors

Singing la la la la la
Singing la la la la la
Singing la la la la la
Singing la la la la la
Singing la la la la la

Love is the egg, see
Lid was born in a cloud with silver lining
Uh-huh
But it broke I mean it hatched on the ground so time flew right by me
And while I

[Chorus:]
I know you thought that life was gonna be easy when you didn't call
You found out you were wrong
See, I know you thought your life was gonna be easy
You thought you had it all
But you found out you were wrong

See, maybe, there was something wrong, and you were telling me no wrong
See, maybe, the laugh's on me, and life was telling me a joke

Something's yours
And you let it go
If it comes back to you
It was yours all along

Well, I let you go, along with those lies from you
I wouldn't want those lies anew
Did the lies just get gone

[Chorus:]

See, maybe, there was something wrong, and you were telling me no wrong
See, maybe, the laugh's on me, and life was telling me a joke

Hold it now
How do you feel right now
Yeah me too
Hey yeah

Hold it now
You all right
See, do you remember what it's like to wake up in her love nest (get it, love nest)
And now she's gone - gone, gone, gone

At which point you realize life is but a joke, and the laugh's on me
That's funny, right?

Woke up I had the same clothes on I had on last night
Damn
I must have passed out
And cash is just like the clothes I worn yesterday
We are broke
Damn
I gotta get my ass out
I went to see what my friend was talking about
Drugs
He told me cocaine would get you clout
My momma said he's trouble and schools my route
But I went to high school and got kicked out
So I'm driving this truck down the 95
I pray to God I make it home alive
I don't get pulled over by the man
I just want to make it home to hold your hand

[Chorus:]

Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
If you don't see my face no more
I'm a provider girl, gotta face the streets tonight

Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
You don't see my face no more
I'm a rider, girl gotta face the streets tonight
You say you don't want me to go but I have to
Please don't weep
I love you

I refuse to be a bum
Especially coming where I'm from
I'm a provider girl
And I love you
So it's just like I said before
Heading down ninety five
Dodging Johnny law
I don't need a ticket though I never got one
If he pulls me over
He can feel my shotgun
I think about life pull down my hat
It's just like this road I don't know where I'm at
I don't want to be another cocaine story
Will I find my sanity
Where I find my glory
Come on

[Chorus:]

Someday, someday, this will be over
We'll raise a family
I'll get a job and I'll be a voter
And if I die
It will change you
Change you
I watch over a family
But only as an angel

So don't tell me you don't know what you see
When you're looking at a motherfucker just like me
I'm a provider girl
I said don't tell me you don't know what you see
When you're looking at a motherfucker just like me
I'm a rider girl

[Chorus:]

I love you girl
I'm doing this for us
I don't know any better
What am I supposed to do
Nothing I love you

Bass (to the)
Yeah, hey
She move, she move
I like the way she turn around
But somehow still face me
A sweet girl her 'uh-uh' was tasty
For the cash she
Dance like Stacey
Said she wanna move from there
Or some lil' John shit
All she knew was yeah
Told her "act like you don't"
Pimpin' the gay
Havin' her act like a ho
Aside she was Black as a foe
She another queen
On the booty shake scene
Seein' what a chick'd do to make green
Change colors, change cities
Change dreams
You can be in the game but
You need to change teams
We both fall thicker so we
In the same jeans enter pop
You ain't gotta go mainstream
So get with this rebel thing
And let's move

Hey mister, look at your girl
I housed her
And she gon' fuck now
Don't you know that
I housed her
Don't you know that
I housed her
Don't you know that
I housed her (nigga)
And she gon' fuck now

Ow!
And that's how I fell
You ain't checking your dame
Then I will
She got a secret that
Her body can't hold
She got close to the bass
And let it go
High tide love or lust
Here they flow
Sugar down on freak radio
Push it up till her ass
Gonna show
Horny I feel
Full stereo ah
What it is where you at
Here we go ah
Double dare ante up
Tally ho ah
Lights down lights up
Merry woe ah
Super duper fly
Super naturalle ah
Hips in a twist
Thighs in a roll ah
Stare across the room
Acting like I know her
Like you want some
Here I go, ma
Ha ha ha

Damn!
Hey mister, look at your girl
I housed her
And she gon' fuck now
Don't you know that
I housed her
Don't you know that
I housed her
Don't you know that
I housed her (nigga)
And she gon' fuck now

Hey yo
You must feel well rested
From all that sleeping on the fact
That your lady's
Invested
Into the mind games pointed at
Myself for wealth
Not the reason
It's my boy for you any
Hardly
Oddly enough
I wanna get in between her
Like dots between
Them letters in N*E*R*D
Huh she just wanna be free
Submerge herself completely within
Sweat
On the floor from alpha to N
Lend me your ears
My countrymen
Yeh this city boy has no fears
Rap NY every day all year
I rap in the name of my love
And how you move
And the chance of you backing it up
To make me ?
Hey yo Beat it boardwalk,
She ain't property
Parked her place on my monopoly
16 candles, she blew me
In my birthday suit
I wouldn't have thought it
With them bracelets on
Ace lets on
She a little athletic
But he's goal tendin'
Swattin' the shots
Playin' her mind games
Watching her watching me
She that old she
Mag and no tag
Spray can sexy
The colors got dang
Niggas calling a truce
Make a married man go chase
The life and vacate his faith
And go browse for proof
But your shops got bakes
In front the bass
And hunt for
Measurements thicker than
Possum meat
You possibly define a
One night stand
But I won't know
Because of your man

Hey mister, look at your girl
I housed her
And she gon' fuck now
Don't you know that
I housed her
Don't you know that
I housed her
Don't you know that
I housed her (nigga)
And she gon' fuck now

Escort your honey dip
To the native tongue show
She's a abstract freak and
You didn't even know
The lights go down
Her body hits the ground
Clearly she's affected by
The Q-Tip method
Her Jungle brother shirt
Is the sealing of her heart
How much you wanna bet more
That her brow was wet
How far u gonna go
To block the lady flow
She just wanna move
Unless she busts a groove
I didn't even mention that
The tail is Titanic
I didn't wink back when she winked
So don't panic
Pretty one, her there
With her hands in the air
One more drink
My - can stay there
Don't be the jellybean
Whose color turns green
Be the proud man, let go
Of her hand
Let her give more to the
Four on the floor
To the um tika ah d-um um d-ah

Hey mister, look at your girl
I housed her
And she gon' fuck now
Don't you know that
I housed her
Don't you know that
I housed her
Don't you know that
I housed her (nigga)
And she gon' fuck now

Hey mister, look at your girl
I housed her
And she gon' fuck now
Don't you know that
I housed her
Don't you know that
I housed her
Don't you know that
I housed her (nigga)
And she gon' fuck now

Thinking about the time we share
And how I wasn't there
It hurt me
These people overwork me
Then I heard maybe soon you'll leave
Excuse me lord if you have tricks up your sleeve
I'm not ready to be bereaved
I know I'm always asking for something
Or another
But this time, it's just time
'Cause I love her
But baby if he don't change his mind
Or fate or time
Yo I want to leave you with this line

Chorus
It goes while you're here
I want to tell you something
It's that I love you girl
Yeah, and I wish we could run to the sun
And never come back
Yeah

Yesterday I tied two rocks together
That symbolize our lives
And threw them in the ocean
Now they're on the ocean floor coastin'
'Til they stop rollin' so far
That no sonar would list them
To the point that no one would even believe that we existed
I know that may sound twisted
But my neglect is killin' me
I feel so guilty
Please have faith in if you feel me

[Chorus: Repeat 2X]

Though you're probably feelin' blue
And you'll do what you must do
I hope you know
I'd hand the skies to you
I'm so embarrassed for mankind
They have the nerve to let their weapon shine
They're so stupid
Do they not know you're about to fly high
Away
With the wings that god will give you someday
I'm not jealous
I just can't take it
S.O.S. to your ears, the only thing I ever feared was this day
And having to say

[Chorus:]
