 2002

Welcome to Nellyville, where all newborns get a half-a-mill'

Sons, get sedan DeVilles, soon as they can reach the wheel

And daughters, get diamonds the size of their age - I'm talkin'

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 cocaine, 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
