About This Track

Released as the lead single from Usher's fourth studio album 'Confessions' in January 2004, 'Yeah!' pairs the singer with Atlanta producers and rappers Lil Jon and Ludacris. The track builds on a synthesised crunk beat, a remixed version of Lil Jon's production for Petey Pablo's 'Freek-A-Leek', and became a global number one. It topped the US Billboard Hot 100 for 12 consecutive weeks before being dethroned by Usher's own follow-up single.

The lyric stages a club-floor moral dilemma: Usher clocks a woman who turns out to be a friend of his girlfriend, and spends the song caught between restraint and temptation. Every attempt at the high ground gets overruled by the louder voice of the title refrain. The narrative leaves the outcome open, but the dancefloor chemistry is unambiguous.

"Yeah!" is a track by USHER, released 27th January 2004. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 3 articles about USHER.

Lyrics

Yeah!

[Intro: USHER & Lil Jon]

Peace up, A-Town down

Yeah (Yeah)

Okay (Okay)

Usher, Usher

And Lil Jon

Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (What it do, shawty?)

Let's go

[Verse 1: USHER & Lil Jon]

Up in the club with my homies

Tryna get a little V-I, keep it down on the low-key (Low-key)

'Cause you know how it is (Hey, hey)

I saw this shorty, she was checkin' up on me

From the game she was spittin' in my ear, you would think that she know me (Know me)

I decided to chill (Okay)

Conversation got heavy (Hey)

She had me feelin' like she's ready to blow

Watch out! (Oh)

Watch out!

She was sayin', "Come get me" (Come get me)

So I got up and followed her to the floor

She said, "Baby, let's go" (Let's go)

When I told her, I said

[Chorus: USHER, USHER & Lil Jon]

Yeah, yeah

Shawty got down low, she said, "Come and get me"

Yeah, yeah

I got so caught up, I forgot she told me

Yeah, yeah

Her and my girl used to be the best of homies

Yeah, yeah

Next thing I knew, she was all up on me screamin'

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2: USHER, Lil Jon & Both]

So she's all up in my head now

Got me thinkin' that it might be a good idea to take her with me (With me)

'Cause she's ready to leave (Ready to leave now; oh, let's go)

Now I gotta keep it real now (Yeah)

'Cause on a one-to-ten, she's a certified twenty

But that just ain't me (Hey)

'Cause I don't know if I take that chance

Just where's it gonna lead

But what I do know is the way she dance

Make shorty alright with me (Hey, hey, hey)

The way she get low

I'm like, "Yeah, just work that out for me"

She asked for one more dance

And I'm like, "Yeah, how the hell am I supposed to leave?" And I said (Let's go, bring the beat back)

[Chorus: USHER, USHER & Lil Jon, Lil Jon]

Yeah, yeah

Shawty got down low, she said, "Come and get me"

Yeah, yeah

I got so caught up, I forgot she told me

Yeah, yeah

Her and my girl used to be the best of homies

Yeah, yeah

Next thing I knew, she was all up on me screamin'

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Hey, hey, Luda)

[Verse 3: Ludacris, Lil Jon & Both]

Watch out, my outfit's ridiculous

In the club, lookin' so conspicuous

And raow, these women all on the prowl

If you hold the head steady, I'ma milk the cow (Yeah)

And forget about game, I'ma spit the truth (What)

I won't stop 'til I get 'em in they birthday suit (Yeah)

So gimme the rhythm and it'll be off with they clothes

Then bend over to the front and touch your toes

I left the Jag' and I took the Rolls

If they ain't cuttin', then I put 'em on foot patrol (Let's go, ow)

How you like me now

When my pinky's valued over three hundred thousand?

Let's drink, you the one to please (Yeah)

Ludacris fill cups like double Ds (Yeah)

Me and Ursh once more and we leaves 'em dead

We want a lady in the street, but a freak in the bed, that say

[Chorus: USHER, USHER & Lil Jon]

Yeah, yeah

Shawty got down low, she said, "Come and get me"

Yeah, yeah

I got so caught up, I forgot she told me

Yeah, yeah

Her and my girl used to be the best of homies

Yeah, yeah

Next thing I knew, she was all up on me screamin'

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Bridge: Ludacris]

Take that and rewind it back

Lil Jon got the beat that make ya booty go

Take that, rewind it back

Usher got the voice make ya booty go

Take that, rewind it back

Ludacris got the flow that make ya booty go

Take that, rewind it back

Lil Jon got the beat that make ya booty go

[Instrumental Outro]
