Nellyville - Album Version

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

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 coc*ine 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

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

I got that good at e'ry gas station pull on up

Give me a half a ounce of that sh*t 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

F**k 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

Everybody uh now everybody say

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

No unexpectancy like teenage pregnancy

And physical mental attraction your only **

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 people like no sturr

Yeah

There's no way yeah

There's no way yeah

There's no way yeah

There's no way
