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 feelin' good about myself
So I, I splurge a lil' hell
You see the money and the
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 feelin' good about myself
So I, I splurge a lil' 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 f*ck I done done, my mamma's only son
I went from slangin' and bangin' to yellin' 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 poppin collars from California to D.C
I'm in the VIP, Louis bottles and Hennessey
I'm putting mileage on 20 inches and 23's
I'm flippin' out my keys, I'm flippin' down the screens
I'm bout to spread my wings
Tryin' 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 feelin' good about myself
So I, I splurge a lil' hell
You see the money and the
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 feelin' good about myself
So I, I splurge a lil' hell

You think you know me but you really don't know
Me, if I could
Walk through the club like everything be fo sho
And I'll get
One lil' girl, two lil' girls  tryin yo get me to dance
I'll get, three lil' girls, four lil' girls
Pullin' at my pants, damn
It feels good when errthing is okay
And it's a beautiful site when errthing 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, its only right that I splurge
And any nigga trippin' now I leave him right by the curb
And I don't go to sleep mama so good night and to work
I'm on a mission and it's sort a 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 fo sho
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 feelin' good about myself
So I, I splurge a lil' hell
You see the money and the
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 feelin' good about myself
So I, I splurge a lil' 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 this strange, now that I think about it
I came up in the game, changed everything about it
I'm feelin' better than ever without that lotto shit
I wake up early hit Cuda, like lets go buy some shit
You dress the hottest fits, driven the hottest whips
We've got the baddest chicks (you know)
We with the whitest kicks
Donating money to family's caught in Bin Laden's shit
They screaming war, I'm like f*ck it, go buy a battleship and
Bring it up that Mississipi
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 feelin' good about myself
So I, I splurge a lil' hell
You see the money and the
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 feelin' good about myself
So I, I splurge a lil' 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 feelin' good about myself
So I, I splurge a lil' hell
You see the money and the
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 feelin' good about myself
So I, I splurge a lil' hell
