NELLY lyrics : "Problems"

[Intro: Nelly] Let's go, ay
This story we about to tell you, is all true
The names may have been changed to

protect some of those close to me
Uhh, uhh, true story, but if not


[Nelly]
They say money is the root of all evil
And I'm really startin to see what it do to people

Check it (c'mon) mo' money, mo' problems
Well e'rybody got problems, but they
expect me to solve 'em (hey)

And I can barely solve my own
Got me lookin at 'em like, "You supposed to be grown?"
And I done said this %#@! in four different tones

To they face, e-mails mayne and over the phone
I done said that %#@! calm, I done said that %#@! loud
I done pulled 'em to the side, I done tried to sit 'em down

But some just don't get it
Cause they mind only focused on (hey) %#@! what I got
What they ain't got, and what they can't get

Got me lookin at my albums like "Who wrote this %#@!?"
Believe me man, I hope this get
just a tad bit better but I doubt that %#@! (it's like hey!)


[Chorus: Nelly]
I can hear these people say, "Damn that boy done changed"

But they don't understand the pressures I'm goin through
Oh how I wish there was a way, to change places for a day
Just so they can see what it's like

to walk a mile in my shoes

[Nelly] Yo, listen

C'mon, I love Dave Chappelle
But I don't know too many turn down 50 mil'
See that's talk for real

Besides, you know what I had to go through to get this deal?
How many brothers I done seen get killed
for 50 bucks and a few of them pills? Y'all don't feel me

(Man please) Damn right I sing all them songs
So I can buy my pops a car and my momma a home
So she can sit up on the phone with her best friend Joan

Talkin like on and on how her baby done grown
"How my baby make his own through the microphone
And how my baby been my baby since my baby was born"

But uhh, I ain't sayin man it's all about the money
But let's face it, you can't make a record for free
I'll be damned if I watch 'em make a mil' off me

And I just sit back and take it, for minimum wage
And I done gave 'em e'rything but my D and my A
I say hey, that's what the contract say (contract say)

They make it seem like you can't get away
it's like you owe these ^!$$%z three more days
Y'all don't feel me (hey!)


[Chorus]


[Outro: Nelly] Woo! Uh, uh...
Shout out to my ^!$$% Polow
Woo! A knocker right here O.G. Uh, uh, uh, yea
