Splurge

(álbum: Nellyville - 2002)

You see the magazines and
Me on your TV screens and
You think you know me but you really don't (You don't even know)
But I, I'm feeling good about myself, so I, I splurge a little hell
You see the money and
The cars and diamonds and you
You think it make me but it really don't (It really really don't)
But I, I'm feeling good about myself, so I, I splurge a little hell

I think the time has come, for me to have some fun
I'm 'bout to peel back the top go on and let in the sun
What the fuck I done done, my mamma's only son
I went from slanging and banging to yelling number one
I love my fans to death, until my last breath
That's why when I perform I give until there's nothing left
No competition, my opposition gonna feel the pain
More complications, relationships ain't gonna be the same
Do they want the fame, and all that it can bring
If they attracted to Nelly then who like Cornell Haynes
I'm popping collars from California to D.C
I'm in the VIP, Louis bottles and Hennessy
I'm putting mileage on 20 inches and 23s
I'm flipping out my keys, I'm flipping down the screens
I'm 'bout to spread my wings, trying to fulfill my dreams
With anything that I want, if I don't I got the means

You see the magazines and
Me on your TV screens and
You think you know me but you really don't (You don't even know)
But I, I'm feeling good about myself, so I, I splurge a little hell
You see the money and
The cars and diamonds and you
You think it make me but it really don't (It really really don't)
But I, I'm feeling good about myself, so I, I splurge a little hell

You think you know me but you really don't know
Peep I could walk through the club like everything be for sure
And I'll get, one little girl, two little girls trying yo get me to dance
I'll get, three little girls, four little girls pulling at my pants, damn
It feels good when everything is okay
And it's a beautiful site when everything goes your way
And I could park in the mountains and I'll still get valet
Hop out in a Vokal valour and my suede Bally's
I'm feeling good it's only right I deserve
To spread the love through all my peeps, it's only right that I splurge
And any nigga tripping now I leave him right by the curb
And I don't go to sleep mama so good night and good word
I'm on a mission and it's sort of like a mystery
And I ain't stopping 'til I go down in history
Now who ever said you knows, you dealing with a pimp for sure
The N-E double L-Y follow now, now here we go

You see the magazines and
Me on your TV screens and
You think you know me but you really don't (You don't even know)
But I, I'm feeling good about myself, so I, I splurge a little hell
You see the money and
The cars and diamonds and you
You think it make me but it really don't (It really really don't)
But I, I'm feeling good about myself, so I, I splurge a little hell

You read the magazines, and heard I made a scene
Believe it or not, I swear I'm just a human being
I'm doing human things, 'cause only humans change
They label me a role model 'cause I appeal to teens
It really ain't that strange, now that I think about it
I came up in the game, changed everything about it
I'm feeling better then ever without that Lotto shit
I wake up early hit Cuda, like let's go by some shit
You dress the hottest fits, driven the hottest whips
We've got the baddest chicks, we with the whitest kicks
Donating money to family's caught in Bin Laden's shit
They screaming war, I'm like fuck it, go buy a battleship
And bring it up that Mississippi, if you really wanna come than get me
Tell them niggas that a, don't tempt me
'cause I'll squeeze them shits 'til empty
Throw shouts at nigga like Frisbee
Who the juice? How the hell you gonna pimp me?
You niggas must be kidding me, make an innocent nigga plead guilty

You see the magazines and
Me on your TV screens and
You think you know me but you really don't (You don't even know)
But I, I'm feeling good about myself, so I, I splurge a little hell
You see the money and
The cars and diamonds and you
You think it make me but it really don't (It really really don't)
But I, I'm feeling good about myself, so I, I splurge a little hell

You see the magazines and
Me on your TV screens and
You think you know me but you really don't (You don't even know)
But I, I'm feeling good about myself, so I, I splurge a little hell
You see the money and
The cars and diamonds and you
You think it make me but it really don't (It really really don't)
But I, I'm feeling good about myself, so I, I splurge a little hell
