Usher - 8701 Lyrics






Intro-Lude 8701

8701
Man it's been a long time coming
But I never forgot about you
I'm here
Yeah, we've traveled the world
Seen a lot of places, so many faces
We had a good time - we've grown together
Who would've thought we'd stay down this long, heh?
This is my chance to share my world with you
And I know you're gonna like it
Are you ready?

U Remind Me

[Intro]
Right, oh y'all know what I'm sayin'
Trackmasters, what up?

[Method Man]
Yo, you remind me of this chick I knew, used to pursue
She wouldn't let the Meth' Man screw, but let the crew
So I did what any man in that situation would do
Go find him something new that's gon' keep it gangsta, too
Don't take it personal, I just call it the way I see
And what I see is not a potential wife to be
So basically, there it is and there it go
I'll pass this time, but next lifetime who knows?
Anything I suppose

[Usher]
See, the thing about you, that caught my eye
Is the same thing that makes me change my mind
Kinda hard to explain, but girl I'm-a try
You need to sit down, this may take a while....
See, this girl she sorta looks like you
She even smiles just the way you do
So innocent she seemed, but I was fooled
I'm reminded when I look at you

[Chorus 1: Usher (Blu Cantrell)]
You remind me of a girl that I once knew (Once upon a time)
See here face whenever I, I look at you
Wouldn't believe all of the things she put me through
(You remind me, yeah) This is why I just can't get with you

[Blu Cantrell]
I can recall a certain magic in your eyes
Although we are just meeting, I feel as though I already know you
It's such a shame that you remind me of a past love, my worst love
So sorry, but I can't get with you 'cause remind me, yeah

[Chorus 2: Blu Cantrell]
You remind me of a guy that I once knew (you remind me, yeah)
See his face whenever I, I look at you
Wouldn't believe all of things she put me through (yeah)
This is why I just can't get with you

[Bridge: Usher {Method Man}]
I know it's so unfair to you (ha)
It's so unfair
That I relay her ignorance to you (whoa, I)
Wish I knew, wish I knew how to separate the two
You remind me.... (you remind....)
{Yes, yes y'all, don't stop y'all,
to the beat y'all, Trackmasters and ya don't stop}

[Method Man]
It's just somethin' about ya
That got me not knowin' if I wanna kiss ya or slap the shit out ya
My bad, I'm losin' myself, don't get me wrong
It's just that oil and water don't get along
Take it from somebody that know, been there befo'
I used to where my heart on my sleeve, not anymo'
Ask Usher and Blu, nothin' hurt me more than your love do
I put that on my life and The 'W'
You remind me

[Chorus 1: Usher {Blu Cantrell}]
{I can't get with you}
You remind me of a girl that I once knew {Once upon a time}
See her face whenever I, I look at you (Said I...)
Wouldn't believe all of the things she put me through
{Sweet thing this is why} This is why I just can't get with you

[Chorus 2: Blu Cantrell {Usher}]
{Gotta let you go}
You remind of a guy that I once knew
See his face whenever I, I look at you (You remind me, yeah)
Wouldn't believe all of the things he put me through (Everything that you do, yeah)
{This is why I just can't get with you}

I Dont Know

[P. Diddy]
Check this out, yeah, yeah
All my niggas take a walk with me
You ain't gotta holla - you can talk with me
Just try to learn where my thoughts can be
And how I stack figures
Learn why I'm real - still that nigga
I get money I ain't gotta do a crime
Shit I hit dimes - what I need with a nine
Before y'all judge me - be clear
We got nothing but heat here, beware WE HERE
What's my name, got chicks twisted like
What's my game?
Pimp things still the same
I smash it, I don't harass it
Ma' I'm a baller I score and pass it
Feel me, still be filthy
If making hits is a crime, I plead guilty
And this is what we came do
Party, Diddy, Usher - game is through, come on

[Usher]
It's right around eleven o'clock
One of your girls just called
Asked you how you look, are you ready?
You tell her you look hot
Not to worry at all
Niggas will be shook - y'all doin' it heavy
She;s telling you she might change
But you tell her not to
She know that she looks stunning
It'll be fine
The club will be full of game
But none of that has got'chu
Me - I think you're running
Cause I'm the one

I don't know what you came to do girl
What you came to do tonight
But I came to party, oh
I don't know what you came to do girl
What you came to do tonight
But I came to party, oh

You're probably thinking to yourself
What's the occasion?
And believe me girl I don't do sex for fun
The perfect gentleman in every situation
And the only thing that's missing - is the one
Is it you?

I don't know what you came to do girl
What you came to do tonight
But I came to party, oh
I don't know what you came to do girl
What you came to do tonight
But I came to party, oh

Sing it
(La, la, la, la)
Ghetto girls
(La, la, la, la)
Suburban girls
(La, la, la, la)
International girls - smell me?
(La, la, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la)
Ghetto girls
(La, la, la, la)
Suburban girls
(La, la, la, la)
International girls - smell me?
(La, la, la, la, la)

Had to take the time
To open up your mind
That's exactly what you are - open
Look at the mesmorizing grind
She should be a crime
Damn baby you're a star
You're smoking

You're probably thinking to yourself
What's the occasion?
And believe me girl I don't do sex for fun
The perfect gentleman in every situation
And the only thing that's missing - is the one
Is it you?

I don't know what you came to do girl
What you came to do tonight
But I came to party, oh
I don't know what you came to do girl
What you came to do tonight
But I came to party, oh

Sing it
(La, la, la, la)
Ghetto girls
(La, la, la, la)
Suburban girls
(La, la, la, la)
International girls - smell me?
(La, la, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la)
Ghetto girls
(La, la, la, la)
Suburban girls
(La, la, la, la)
International girls - smell me?
(La, la, la, la, la)

It's real serious
You're so fine girl
At the end of the day - I'm going home with you

I don't know what you came to do girl
What you came to do tonight
But I came to party, oh
I don't know what you came to do girl
What you came to do tonight
But I came to party, oh

U Got It Bad

Oh, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Ooh

When you feel it in your body
You found somebody who makes you change your ways
Like hanging with your crew
Said you act like you're ready
But you don't really know
And everything in your past, you wanna let it go

I've been there, done it, f*cked around
After all that, this is what I found
Nobody wants to be alone
If you're touched by the words in this song
Then maybe

You got it, you got it bad
When you're on the phone
Hang up and you call right back
You got it, you got it bad
If you miss a day without your friend
Your whole life's off track
You know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house
You don't wanna have fun
It's all you think about
You got it bad when you're out with someone
But you keep on thinkin' 'bout somebody else
You got it bad

When you say that you love 'em
And you really know
Everything that used to matter, it don't matter no more
Like my money, all my cars
(You can have it all and)
Flowers, cards and candy
(I do it just 'cause I'm)
Said I'm fortunate to have you girl
I want you to know
I really adore you
All my people that know what's going on
Look at your mate, help me sing my song
Tell her I'm your man, you're my girl
I'm gon' tell it to the whole wide world
Ladies say I'm your girl, you're my man
Promise to love you the best I can

See I've been there, done it, f*cked around
After all that, this is what I found
Everyone of y'all are just like me
It's too bad that you can't see
That you got it bad, hey

You got it, you got it bad
When you're on the phone
Hang up and you call right back
You got it, you got it bad
If you miss a day without your friend
Your whole life's off track
You know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house
You don't wanna have fun
It's all you think about
You got it bad when you're out with someone
But you keep on thinkin' bout somebody else
You got it bad

You got it, you got it bad
When you're on the phone
Hang up and you call right back
You got it, you got it bad
If you miss a day without your friend
Your whole life's off track
You know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house
You don't wanna have fun
It's all you think about
You got it bad when you're out with someone
But you keep on thinkin' 'bout somebody else

If I Want To

[Usher (JD)]
Every time I look up
I see it in your face
You wanna hook up with me
(You know you wanna hook up - stop playing)
Instead of acting like you supposed to
You cop an attitude like you're too good for me
And you know good and damn well that...

If I want to - I could take you from your man
Please belive me with my eyes closed
I could have you eating out the palm of my hand
And all your little girl friends to
(No you can't - you're a playa I don't want you)
Yes I can and I will if I - if I want to
If I - if I want to baby

Ain't nobody tryna clown you
But you're too damn old to play high school games with me
(You know that - too damn old)
Yes you do
Cause even when I'm not around you
I hear from my friends you be asking 'bout me
(What's up with him - that's what you be saying)

I don't really care
How long you've been together with your man?
It's just a matter of time
Before I make you mine
I wanna make it clear
So there's no misunderstandings
That I get what I want - when I want, yeah

If I want to - I can take you from your man
With my eyes closed
I can have you eating out the palm out of my hand
And all your little girl friends to
(No you can't - you're a playa I don't want you)
Yes I can and I will if I - if I want to
If I - if I want to baby

If I want to - I can take you from your man
With my eyes closed
I can have you eating out the palm out of my hand
And all your little girl friends to
(No you can't - you're a playa I don't want you)
Yes I can and I will if I - if I want to
If I - if I want to baby

(Yeah, uh - oh)
That I get what I want - when I want
If I wanted to

(If I wanted to - I'd have you doing whatever I want you to)
(You know - right now I'm just not really doing that)
(But if I wanted to - anything)
(I'm saying - you and your girls, I could have them too)
Listen to me!

If I want to - I can take you from your man
With my eyes closed
I can have you eating out the palm out of my hand
And all your little girl friends to
(No you can't - you're a playa I don't want you)
Yes I can and I will if I - if I want to
If I - if I want to baby

How Do I Say

[Verse 1:]
A foreign beauty
so exotic
when she smiled she took my breathe away
She's reminiscent of a goddess
it's a shame we could
not communicate

How do I say...

[Chorus:]
How do I say hello
I just want to talk to U
How do say you're beautiful
and I can't take my eyes off U
I don't want to
say the wrong thing
I wanna use the right words to impress U
My baby- How do I say
How do I say
How do I say

[Verse 2:]
The room was filled with her sweet aroma
When she danced her hips moved oh so sensuous
She speaks with her body
so hypnotic
In a language that I never will forget
I hear her calling-Spinning around
in the crowd until she found me
Then
she started moving closer and closer
Does she know that I want her,I want her
I wanna be with her tonight
So I caressed
her face
Kissed her lips
In all my life I never felt quite like this
I never had a loss for words- One kiss from her has
got me speechless

[Chorus x2]

[Bridge:]
Baby let's engage in a deep conversation
In the mighty language we speak won't need any translation
The Odyssey of
physical pleasure
As we explore this universal language of love
Can you tell me how I put it into words

[Chorus x3]

Hottest Thing

I've been looking at you
Turning brothers down
Some got their song
Well its time for me to holla now
(Your body is calling, don't fight it)
Ooh I like it

You're dancing all alone
What's that all about?
You're so fine
But it's time for me to call you out
(Watch out, I'll straight run up on ya)
Girl I want ya

You're the hottest thing
In the club tonight
Having visions of making love tonight
With you constantly
To the break dawn
We can shake the spot
If you say it's on

Dancing so close
Got me up like whoa
We're doing the most
Is living with you possible?
(Your body is saying you want to)
And I want you, oh baby
More than you know sugar
If only for one night
I'll make you feel
Like you've been to paradise
It's all up to you - tell me something baby
I know one thing

You're the hottest thing
In the club tonight
Having visions of making love tonight
With you constantly
To the break dawn
We can shake the spot
If you say it's on

You're the hottest thing
In the club tonight
Having visions of making love tonight
With you constantly
To the break dawn
We can shake the spot
If you say it's on

Baby tell me
What's on your mind?
Do you think that I'm being too forward
Oh baby by coming at you, this way
I can't help myself, you're...

You're the hottest thing
In the club tonight
Having visions of making love tonight
With you constantly
To the break dawn
We can shake the spot
If you say it's on

Good ol...heh

I told my man I'm having a barbecue
So grab some folks and won't you slide right through
He brought this shorty that I used to know
It brought me back to when I was in school
She said Usher where have you been?
We used to kick it every now and then
Remember when I used to call your phone
Tell you come on cause my mother's gone
How about them times I had to throw
A rock at your window
To let you know to come downstairs
And open the door
And after that baby it was on fa'sure

Honey got my head spinnin' around for real
Cause I'm thinking 'bout how good you used to feel
And I got a girl now and I don't get down like this, huh
But I must admit I'm tempted and startin' to reminisce, cause

Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto

Now she's asking me to take her
On a tour of my house so we can catch up
For all the time lost since I blew up
And became the man that drops his pants
And every girl around the world is dying to love
Break the beat down
Let me tell you what I'm talking about
If you're not carefull it'll turn you out
It's that way she used to go
When you want it nice and slow
Even though you can't
The memory will make you want some mo'
She used to understand me
Touch me, hold me, taught me how to be a man
She used to kiss me all them things she used to show me
Damn I wish that I could do it again

Honey got my head spinnin' around for real
Cause I'm thinking 'bout how good you used to feel
But I got a girl now and yo she's right upstairs
But I must admit I'm tempted and startin' to not care, cause...

Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto

Never had somebody that's as bad
Somebody with a whole lot of body
That'll choose, make you wanna leave the one you with
Cause you know how good it is
Not a prissy, lil' missy baby, talk that slang
I used to love how she kissed me when she popped that thang
She was a friend of the fam
Hot without the glam, not
When I be trippin'
She didn't really give a damn, stop
It's what I need to do
Cause I know what's this is leading to
If I keep on thinkin' bout that back
I'mma be right back in it cause yo

Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto
Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo
Ain't nothing like some good ol' ghetto

U-Turn

Yeah, ay yo
2000 it's us
Yo, it's time to U-Turn
Ya heard me?
You're either with us - or against us, yo

It's been some years now
Since we hit the floor to get down
We always had a step to go with the sound
Now everybody wanna sit around, drink and ball
Remember, the snake
And how the floor used to clear
And everybody would break
What's crunk now used to be called getting to it
We're bringing it all back
This is how we do it, just

Put your hands up, bend your knees
Bounce around in a circle, get down with me
Oh come on, come on
It's not hard to learn
Come on, come on
It's called the U-Turn

Put your hands up, bend your knees
Bounce around in a circle, get down with me
Oh come on, come on
It's not hard to learn
Come on, come on
It's called the U-Turn

In the 80s, fresh was the talk
MJ had everybody doing the moonwalk
In the 90s, I had a high flat top
Doing the wop, Pee Wee to the Reebok
I can't forget about my high school days
The sound was Bobby Brown
The dance was the running man
Now everybody wanna push Bentley's
The year is 2 - everybody do the U-Turn

Put your hands up, bend your knees
Bounce around in a circle, get down with me
Oh come on, come on
It's not hard to learn
Come on, come on
It's called the U-Turn

Put your hands up, bend your knees
Bounce around in a circle, get down with me
Oh come on, come on
It's not hard to learn
Come on, come on
It's called the U-Turn

All you need to do is let go
Let the tempo take over you
I came to have a good time
Let the rhythm deep iside your soul
Let it lead you to the floor, whoa

Put your hands up, bend your knees
Bounce around in a circle, get down with me
Oh come on, come on
It's not hard to learn
Come on, come on
It's called the U-Turn

Check it
It was like 6 of us
3 in the Benz, 3 in the truck
On 85 going to the pub
10 minutes later is when we pulled up I
Parked the Benz, hit the alarm, glanced down at my rims
Tucked in my pant leg in the tongue of my Timbs
Hand in my shirt til we feel the gin
Proceeded to walk in just then I saw this
'nificent misses sippin' on a glass of Cris'
With a couple of her friends giggling
I knew

U are the one
I don't give a damn
Even if ya got a man take my hand girl
U are the one
Girl I know you'll understand
If you just give me a dance, take a chance girl

Said I know u got a few with you
Don't even trip I got my crew here too
Can ya grill what ya wanna do
I really wanna chill with you
Tell your friends they can hop in the truck, we'll take the Benz
But if we split up maybe we can hook up again
You never know I guess that all depends
If I can get you from the flo' {floor} to the do' {door} of my 6-0-0
You all ??? and ?????
So finish that Mo' {Moet}, get your coat, tell your girls "come on let's go" cuz

Even if ya got a man take my hand girl

If you just give me a dance, take a chance gir

Back to: Usher


8701 is the third studio album by American singer Usher, released in the United Kingdom on July 9, 2001, and in the United States on August 7, 2001, by Arista Records. Recording was handled by several producers including The Neptunes, Jermaine Dupri, Babyface, Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs, Mike City, Bryan Michael Cox, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. Although intended for an October 31, 2000, release under the title All About U, the album was delayed numerous times, following the leak of several tracks onto the online music store Napster.

Usher subsequently recorded new tracks and released the album under the new title, 8701, which is derived from Usher singing for the first time in his local church in 1987 and the album's US release date of August 7, 2001. The single "Can U Help Me" was supplied with Windows XP Service Pack 2 and later Windows versions to showcase Windows Media Player 11 and higher WMP versions.

8701 takes inspiration from multiple artists, including Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Michael Jackson. It follows the theme of Usher's relationship experience, along with the emotions of love and heartache. Usher promoted the album by embarking on the supporting tour, Evolution 8701 Tour in 2002, to which it he performed in forty-four shows across North America. He also made appearances in television shows, including Live! with Regis and Kelly and Total Request Live.

8701 produced two Billboard Hot 100 number one singles, "U Remind Me" and "U Got It Bad", along with the top three single "U Don't Have to Call". The album debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200 chart, with 210,000 copies sold in its first week. 8701 has since been certified five-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and has sold eight million copies worldwide as of 2010. 8701 received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised Usher's vocals and development as an artist, but were ambivalent towards some of the album's material.

The album earned Usher numerous awards, including a BET Award, two Grammy Awards, and three Billboard Music Awards.
