Lyrics Explained: Usher - Nice & Slow

Lyrics Explained: Usher - Nice & Slow
Jan. 25, 2010
It's seven o'clock
On the dot
I'm in my drop top
Cruisin' the streets


It is currently 7 o'clock (most likely PM; black people don’t wake up before 9) and I am driving in a car with the roof down.

Oh yeah

I enjoy it immensely.

I gotta real pretty, pretty little thang that's waiting for me

I have an attractive female companion, you, which I plan on meeting up with soon.

I pull up, Anticipating
Good love, don't keep me waiting
I got plans to put my hands in places
I've never seen, girl you know what I mean


I'm going to fingerbang you.




Let me take you to a place nice and quiet
There ain't no one there to interrupt
Ain't gotta rush
I just wanna take it nice and slow


I don't plan on anybody being around while I fingerbang you.

See I've been waiting for this for so long
We'll be makin' love until the sun comes up
I just wanna take it nice and slow


I am so gentle that time itself will seem to pass without meaning while I'm fingerbanging you.

Now here we are
Drivin' round town
Contemplating where I'm gonna lay you down
Girl you got me sayin'
My, my, my (My)
I wish that I (I)
Could pull over
And get this thing started right now


While driving around, I'm looking for the perfect spot to begin our sexual endeavor. I haven't planned this out ahead of time, but really, it isn't entirely my fault. I’ve just been so consumed with thoughts of fingerbanging you.

I wanna do something freaky to you baby
I don't think they heard me
I, I wanna do something freaky to you baby
So call out my name


I really want to fingerbang you. You can audibly show your appreciation by saying my name.

They call me me - U-S, H-E-R, R-A, Y-M, O-N-D

Just in case you forgot, it's Usher. My name? Usher Raymond? That's spelled U-S-H-E-R R-A-Y-M-O-N-D.

Now baby tell me what you wanna do with me
You know you Gotta nigga feelin' like Jodeci
Every time that you roll with me, holdin' me
Tryin' to get control of me
Nice and slowly
You know
Never lettin' go
Never messin' up the flow
Dis is how the hook go


You're gonna reciprocate this and give me a handjob, right?

Now tell me
Do you wanna get freaky
'Cause - I'll freak you right I will
I'll freak you right I will
I'll freak you like no one has ever, ever made you feel
I'll freak you right I will
I'll freak you right I will
I'll freak you, freak you like no one has ever, ever made you feel


I will fingerbang you like no one has ever fingerbanged you before.

Yeah.

Yes.

Share the love!

I need more Rap songs explained, I mostly don't get their point.

Oh and sorry for being a jerk and posting Anonymous. Well at least the comment you have to approve is positive :)

So usher just sings about how drives around and finger-rapes people?

I guess that's better than ANY NICKLEBACK SONG LYRICS EVER.

It's not finger-rape! It was consensual. Consensual fingerbanging.

lmao "i enjoy it immensely".

I'd seriously love you forever if you did "This is Why I'm Hot" by Mims. And it would go nicely with that C&H comic that refers to the song!

Hey anonymous 3 below me. This is shit rap/hip hop. The good stuff is underground. The reason you can't understand a lot of any type whether good or shit is because it has a lot of slang. By the way fucking hilarious.

Indubitably good job on that translation matt! No i can finally see what it is these gosh-darn-fangled rappers mean by their lyrics! It still hurts the ears to listen to it though.

"I am driving in a car with the hood down. " I'm not sure if you meant hood down or roof down? Driving with the hood up is dangerous, only real gangstas drive with the hood up...
