This song is by Nelly featuring Paul Wall, Ali, and Gipp)
all 4 are southern rappers, Paul Wall making a name for himself from Texas.
here without further wait...is Grillz
My commentary is in bold, while the song lyrics are in normal font:
[Intro]
Rob the jewelry store and tell 'em make me a grill
And the whole top diamond and the bottom row's gold
The intro is imperitive to many rap songs, as it sets up what the song is about and this one is no different
You learn quickly that this song is about the gold in one's mouth, even if this is never referenced in the lyrics
[J.D.]
Yo we bout to start a epidemic wit this one
Y'all know what this is... So So Def
This is a continuation of the intro, by producer Jermaine Dupri
Apparently, he is going to help spread the epidemic of everyone having gold in their mouth with the help of his label So So Def
[Nelly]
Got 30 down at the bottom, 30 mo' at the top
All invisible set and little ice cube blocks
He's got 30 pieces of jewelry on the top row of his teeth and 30 pieces of jewelry on the bottom row of his teeth
Invisible set means you can't see what's holding the jewlery inplace (more than likely his jewelry is permanent and not removable like many "fronts")
If I could call it a drink, call it a smile on the rocks
When a drink is on the rocks it is poured over ice, diamonds are commonly referred to as ice
Hence when he smiles you see his ice
If I could call out a price, lets say I call out a lot
It costs him much more money than the average person when he went to the dentist
I got like platinum and white gold, traditional gold
He's got three types of precious stones in his mouth
I'm changin' grillz errday, like Jay +Change Clothes+
This line states that he is able to change the jewelry in his mouth which contradicts one of the first lines in his verse
There is also a reference to the song "Chage Clothes" by Jay-Z (Obviously)
I might be grilled out nicely (oh) In my white tee (oh)
Or on South Beach (oh) in my wife B
He grills out in his white t-shirt or sometimes hangs out on South Beach while wearing a wife beater
VV and studded you can tell when they cut it
VV is short for VVS or Very Very Shiny, it's a high luster diamond
ya see my grandmama hate it, but my lil' mama love it
cause when I..'
His grandmother hates what he's done to his teeth, yet his girlfriend loves it (Now, I ain't sayin' she a gold digger...)
[Woman]
Open up ya mouth, ya grill gleamin' (say what)
Eyes stay low from the cheifin' (cheifin')
When his mouth opens there's quite a bit of shinin' goin' on
His eyes are normally nearly closed from all the marijuana smoke
[Nelly]
I got a grill I call penny candy you know what that means
It look like Now-N-Laters, gum drops, jelly beans
In case you don't know what that means penny candy is cheap candy you can buy that comes in many different colors, just like his grill
I wouldn't leave it for nothin' only a crazy man would
so if you catch me in ya city, somewhere out in ya hood just say
He would rather have his grill than many things, and if you see him out somewhere just shout out the chorus to him
[Chorus]
Smile fo me daddy
(What you lookin at?)
A woman says, "Smile for me, daddy."
Nelly says, "What you lookin' at?"
Let me see ya grill
(Let you see my what?)
The woman replies, "Let me see ya grill."
Nelly asks, "Let you see my what?"
Yeah, ya grill yeah, yeah, ya grill
(Rob the jewelry store and tell 'em make me a grill)
The woman responds, "Yeah, ya grill! Yeah, yeah! Ya grill!"
And a random *** guy says, "Rob the jewlery story and tell 'em make me a grill!"
Smile for me daddy
(What you lookin at?)
Again the woman commands, "Smile for me, daddy."
Nelly asks, "What you lookin' at?"
I want to see your grill
(You wanna see my what?)
The girl again states, "I want to see your grill."
Nelly asks, "You want to see my what?"
Ya, ya grill ya, ya, ya grill
(And the whole top diamonds and the bottom rows gold)
And she repeats, "Yeah, ya grill! Yeah, yeah! Ya grill!"
And the random *** guy says something else, "And the whole top diamond and the bottom row's gold."
[Paul Wall]
What it do baby
Its the ice man Paul Wall
Paul Wall is notorious for starting off his verses as "What it do", you can pretty much ignore it completely if you want
Paul Wall introduces himself as the ice man becuase his mouth is full of diamonds
I got my mouth lookin somethin' like a disco ball
Because his mouth is so shiny like a disco ball, some might say that it does look somethin' like a disco ball
I got the diamonds and the ice all hand set
He had some ******* child of a dentist and a jeweler put the diamonds in his mouth permanently
I might cause a cold front if I take a deep breath
Because he has so much "ice" in his mouth that if he breathes in it is a definite possibility that the air in proximity will cool to lower than normal
My teeth gleamin' like I'm chewin' on aluminum foil
His teeth look like he has been chewing on aluminum foil (That is the preferred method of getting a "grill" among people who want to be cool)
Smilin' showin off my diamonds sippin' on some potent oil
He is smiling, showing of his diamonds, while sipping on an alcoholic beverage
I put my money where my mouth is and bought a grill
Once he got money, he bought jewelry to go in his mouth, making a pun out of the phrase "Put your money where your mouth is"
20 karats 30 stacks let 'em know I'm so fo real
I'm assuming quite a bit here but:
I believe that Paul Wall states that for the Universe to become in perfect order and to reach Nirvana we need to allow all things to do as they please. And what he is truly referring to here is the theory in science that says that all things int he universe are most stable when they are in a state of disarray.
My motivation is the 30 pointers VVS to furniture my mouth piece simply symbolize obsessed
He's motivated by the diamonds in his teeth (Also obsessed with it)
I got the wrist wear and neck wear that's captivatin'
He's got traditional jewelry that is very shiny, as well
But its what smiles that got these arm-lookers spectatin'
[insert picture of a ******** child here]
My mouth piece simply certified a total package
If someone cut his head off and placed him in a jewelry store, behind the nice glass case, you'd have to buy the whole thing!
Open up my mouth and you see more carets than a salad
Ooh! Another pun from Paul Wall. Carets = Carrots
My teeth are mind blowin' givin' everybody chills
His teeth will blow your mind and give you chills!
Call me George Foreman cause I'm sellin everybody grillz
He's a grill salesman in the same vain as George Foreman
[Chorus]
Smile fo me daddy
(What you lookin at?)
Let me see ya grill
(Let you see my what?)
Ya, ya grill ya, ya, ya grill
(Rob the jewelry store and tell 'em make me a grill)
Smile fo me daddy
(What you lookin at?)
I want to see your grill
(You wanna see my what?)
Ya, ya grill ya, ya, ya grill
(And a whole top diamonds and the bottom rows gold)
[Gipp]
Gipp got dem yellows, got dem purples, got dem reds
Yellow = Gold, Purple = Amethyst, Red = Ruby
Lights gon head and make you woozie in ya head
I'm sure if you stared at his teeth hard enough you'd get a headache wondering why in God's name anyone would do that to themselves
You can catch me in my 2 short drop
You can see him in his low-rider car
Mob got colors like a Froot Loop box
He's got as many colors in his mouth as there is many colors in a box of Froot Loop cereal
[Ali]
This what it do when the Lou'
Ice grill country grammar
Where the hustlas move bricks
and the gangsta's bang hammers
Where I got 'em you can spot them
On the top in the bottom
Gotta a bill in my mouth like I'm Hillary Rodham
LOL!
[Gipp]
I ain't dissin' nobody but let's bring it to the light
Yeah was the first with my mouth bright white
Yeah these hoes can't focus 'cause they eyesight blurry
Tippin on some 4's you can see my mouth jewelry
He's not dissin' anyone, but he wants everyone to know that he was the first to put jewelry in his mouth
He likes dealing with nearsighted girls and when he's driving his 84 rims you can see his mouth jewelry
[Ali]
I got four different sets its a fabulous thing
One white, one yellow, like Fabolous chain
And the otha set is same got my name in the mold
(And the whole top diamonds and the bottom row's gold)
He's got four sets of grillz:
1. Diamond/White Gold
2. Gold
3. His name is spelled out in his grill on this set
4. And the whole top diamonds and the bottom row's gold!
[Chorus]
[Woman]
Boy how you get grill that way and
How much did you pay
Every time I see you
The first thing I'm gon say hey....
This woman wants to know how anyone gets a grill, how much is paid and when she sees you she'll holla at you!
[Chorus]
all 4 are southern rappers, Paul Wall making a name for himself from Texas.
