Artiestinformatie


Pharrell Williams en Chad Hugo leren elkaar op 12-jarige leeftijd kennen. In hun vrije tijd maken ze samen beats en ook treden ze in verschillende groepen op met Timbaland. In 1992 besluit Teddy Riley, die de twee samen ziet optreden tijdens een talentenjacht, ze te contracteren. Samen produceren ze verschillende nummers en in 1999 besluiten ze het project N.E.R.D. te beginnen. Ook Shae Haley is, volgens Pharrell, een belangrijke factor bij de groep. De letters staan voor No-one Ever Really Dies. In 2001 verschijnt het debuutalbum In Search Of…


In de jaren die volgen scoort N.E.R.D. hits als Lapdance, She Wants To Move en Maybe. In 2010 brengen ze hun vierde album Nothing uit. Na die release schuift het project naar de achtergrond. Pas in 2017 treedt N.E.R.D. weer op de voorgrond als de track Lemon, waarop ook Rihanna te horen is, verschijnt. De track is de voorloper van het album No One Ever Really Dies.


Songtekst

The truth will set you free
But first, it'll piss you off

Hate
Bad bitches wanna be my bae
Hate
Hunt me down like the C.I.A
Hate
Side of my car, tryna see my face
Hate
Want me to beat it like the T.I. case, oh
Hate
And if it's heated I'ma feed my face
Hate
And best believe, it's gon' be outrageous
Hate
Hatin' niggas can't believe my race
Hate
Niggas hit you with the Eli face, oh

Bouncin' around, bouncin' around, bouncin'
Bouncin' around, bouncin' around, bouncin'
Scrunchin' their eyes with your name in their mouth and
Bouncin' around, bouncin' around, bouncin'

Hate
You keep askin' me where I'm from
Hate
About the borders and did I run
Hate
Keep askin' how I feel 'bout guns
Hate
There's a light and dark army, which side you choose, Oh
Hate
If not now then when
Hate
And if not me then who
Hate
Don't drink the Kool-Aid, my friends
Hate
I tried to tell y'all about this dude

Bouncin' around, bouncin' around, bouncin'
Bouncin' around, bouncin' around, bouncin'
Hate supplements are found right in their couches
Bouncin' around, bouncin' around, bouncin'

Shout out to them people, people, p-p-people, people, p-p-p-peo-people, people
Mad ethnic right now

I get it how I live it
I live it how I get
Count the mothafuckin' digits
I pull up with a lemon
Not cause she ain't livin'
It's just your eyes get acidic
And this here ain't a scrimmage
Mothafucka, we ain't finished
I told you we won't stop
A nigga 'bout a business
Like yours, but you rent it
Wave hello to the top
Nigga, the Veyron glide
Tell the paparazzi get the lens right
Got the window down, top, blowin' la
Got the hazards on, only doin' five
You can catch me, Ri, in the new La Ferrar'
And the truck behind me got arms
Yeah, longer than LeBron
Just waitin' for my thumb like The Fonz
Woo, this beat tastes like lunch
But it's runnin' from veneers and it's runnin' from the fronts
But everyday, hey, wasn't lemonade
I was afraid, once a nigga graduate
Would I be okay, so I prayed and I played
Nigga, I am other, we got our office in space
W-w-warp speed, Doctor Spock couldn't chase, nigga
Bath salt, bitin' speakers in the face

Bath salt, bitin' speakers in the face
Bath, bath salt, bitin' speakers in the face
Bath, bath salt, bitin' speakers in the face
Bath, bath salt, bitin' speakers in the face
Bath, bath salt, bitin' speakers in the face
Bath, bath salt, bitin' speakers in the face
Bath, bath salt, bitin' speakers in the face
Bath, bath salt, bitin' speakers in the face

I get it how I live it
I live it how I get
Count the mothafuckin' digits
I pull up with a lemon
Not cause she ain't livin'
It's just your eyes get acidic
And this here ain't a scrimmage
Mothafucka, we ain't finished
I told you we won't stop
A nigga 'bout a business
Like yours, but you rent it
Wave hello to the top
Nigga, the Veyron glide
Tell the paparazzi get the lens right
Got the window down, top, blowin' la
Got the hazards on, only doin' five
You can catch me

Bouncin' around, bouncin' around, bouncin'

You can catch me

Wait, wait a minute
Wait, wait a minute
Wait, wait a minute
Wait, wait a minute
Wait, wait a minute
Wait, wait a minute
Wait, wait a minute
Wait, wait a minute
