(Uh) Dirty South (uh-huh)
Can y'all really feel me? (Feel this)
East Coast, feel me (feel this)
West Coast, feel me (say what?)
Dirty South, uh (here we go)
Can y'all really feel me? (Baby girl)
East Coast, feel me (uh-huh)
West Coast, feel me (can you feel this?)
Dirty South (dirty, dirty)
Can y'all really feel me? (Feel it)
East Coast, feel me (say what?)
West Coast, feel me (what?)
Dirty South (d-d-dirty, dirty)
Can y'all really feel me? (I can make you feel it)
East Coast, feel me (uh)
West Coast, feel me (woo)
Boy, I've been watching you like the hawk in the sky
That fly but you were my prey (my prey)
Boy, I promise you if we keep bumpin' heads
I know that one of these days (days)
We gon' hook it up, probably talk on the phone
But see, I don't know if that's good
I've been holdin' back this secret from you
I probably shouldn't tell it, but
If I, if I let you know
You can't tell nobody
I'm talkin' 'bout nobody
Are you responsible?
Boy, I gotta watch my back
'Cause I'm not just anybody
Is it my go? Is it your go?
Sometimes I'm goody-goody
Right now I'm naughty-naughty
Say yes or say no
'Cause I really need somebody
Tell me you're that somebody
Boy, won't you pick me up at the park right now?
Up the block, while everyone's sleep (sleep, sleep)
I'll be waiting there with my trench, my locs, my hat
Just so I'm lowkey
If you tell the world (don't speak, you know that would be weak)
Oh boy, see I'm trusting you with my heart, my soul
I probably shouldn't let you but
If I, if I let this go
You can't tell nobody
I'm talkin' 'bout nobody
I hope you're responsible?
Boy, I gotta watch my back
'Cause I'm not just anybody
Is it my go? Is it your go?
Sometimes I'm goody-goody
Right now I'm naughty-naughty
Say yes or say no
'Cause I really need somebody (uh)
Tell me you're that somebody (uh)
Baby girl (uh-huh), I'm the man from the big VA (what?)
Won't you come play round my way (uh-huh)
And listen to what I gotta say? (Uh-huh)
Timbaland (what?), Don't you know I am the man? (Uh-huh)
Rock shows here to Japan (what?)
Have people shaking-shaking my hand (what?)
Baby girl (uh-uh), better known as Aaliyah (Aaliyah)
Give me goosebumps and high fevers (high fevers)
Make the playa haters believers (believers)
Don't you know?
Gotta tell somebody, (why?)
'Cause I really need somebody (uh)
Tell me you're that somebody (say what?)
If I let this go
You can't tell nobody
I'm talkin' 'bout nobody
Are you responsible?
Boy, I gotta watch my back
'Cause I'm not just anybody
Is it my go? Is it your go?
Sometimes I'm goody-goody
Right now I'm naughty-naughty
Say yes or say no
'Cause I really need somebody
Tell me you're that somebody
You can't tell nobody
I'm talkin' 'bout nobody
I hope you're responsible, yeah
Boy, I gotta watch my back
'Cause I'm not just anybody
Is it my go? Is it your go?
Sometimes I'm goody-goody
Right now I'm naughty-naughty
Say yes or say no
'Cause I really need somebody
Tell me you're that somebody
Is it my go? Is it your go?
Sometimes I'm goody-goody
But right now I'm naughty-naughty
'Cause I really need somebody
Tell me you're that somebody
You can't tell nobody
I'm talkin' 'bout nobody
Boy, I gotta watch my back
'Cause I'm not just anybody
Can y'all really feel me? (Feel this)
East Coast, feel me (feel this)
West Coast, feel me (say what?)

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This was featured on the soundtrack to the movie Dr. Dolittle, starring Eddie Murphy. Aaliyah had a small role in the film.
Timbaland produced this and did the rap toward the end. Aaliyah had previously worked with R. Kelly and Jermaine Dupri. She didn't write songs, but prided herself on being able to interpret them.
Aaliyah was 19 when this was released.
This was nominated for a Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal in 1999.
The baby giggling and cooing in the background is Aaliyah at age 18 months. The sound was dubbed from a home video.
The December 2008 issue of Vibe magazine includes an article about songwriter Stephen "Static Major" Garrett, who wrote this song. It mentions that Aaliyah did not initially like this song and another Static wrote for her, "Try Again." She recorded them both, though, and they became big hits for her.
