In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
[Chorus: T-Pain]
Girl, I been shaking, sticking, and moving tryin' to get you and that booty
Tryin' to get to you and that booty
Tryin' to get to you and that booty
Girl, I been shaking and acting a donkey tryin' to get you and that monkey
Tryin' to get to you and that monkey
Tryin' to get to you and that monkey
[T-Pain]
Girl, he simpin' (Simpin')
I walk up in the club with a limpin' (limpin')
God listen, what you gonna do with this pimpin'?
What you gonna do with this pimpin'?
Girl, I'm a call ya (call ya)
Later on tonight or tomorrow ('morrow), now follow
What you gonna do with this baller?
What you gonna do with this baller?
[E-40]
What you gonna do when I bend the block (bend the block)?
Pull up on that ass in a brand new drop (brand new drop)?
Speakers on blast with tremendous knock ('mendous knock)?
TV's in the dash, rims just won't stop
You need to be down with a pimp like me
I ain't turning down nothing but my collar, you see
I'm a leave you with my number; you should holler at me
'Cause I'm a baller; can't nobody hustle harder than me, oh
[Chorus: T-Pain]
[E-40]
Oh, your ass is right
I ain't tryin' to let that pass me tonight
I'm a put my bid in and tell you something slick
Whisper in your ear while I'm holding my dick
I don't mean no harm, it's the hood in me (hood in me)
Sipping on that Renshaw Hennessy (Hennessy)
Psychedelic colors in my jewelry (jewelry)
Suckers hella jealous 'cause you digging me, oh
Now what you gonna do, mama?
I'm tryin' to dip later on, me and you, mama
I like the way that you groove and you move, mama
You know the women love me; I'm the forty water (forty water)
Popping my P's 'cause I'm laced with game
Nothin' but the Yay flowing through my vein
She wear Miss Sixty, can't fit in the Gucci
'Cause her ass big enough to sit a cup on her booty (goodness!)
[Chorus: T-Pain]
[Kandi Girl]
Yeah, I see you looking (looking)
But my ass in these jeans got you shook, and (shook, and)
I don't think you know what to do with this pussy
What you gonna do with this pussy?
Yeah, I know you want this (want this)
Tryin' to chase me through the club for this good shit (good shit)
But I don't think you can handle this pussy
What you gonna do with this pussy?
[E-40]
You looking like you got that good gooshy, gooshy
Fucking 'round with me, I beat the brakes off that pussy
Have your ass cumming like a porn star movie
Tell your friends, and I bet they all wanna do me
Hos know me, I'm E-Fo-Oh (E-Fo-Oh)
They recognize pimping when I step in the door (step in the door)
Higher than a satellite full of that dro (full of that dro)
Holla at a playa when you ready to go, oh
[Chorus: T-Pain]
Girl, I been shaking, sticking, and moving tryin' to get you and that booty
Tryin' to get to you and that booty
Tryin' to get to you and that booty
Girl, I been shaking and acting a donkey tryin' to get you and that monkey
Tryin' to get to you and that monkey
Tryin' to get to you and that monkey
[T-Pain]
Girl, he simpin' (Simpin')
I walk up in the club with a limpin' (limpin')
God listen, what you gonna do with this pimpin'?
What you gonna do with this pimpin'?

What you gonna do with this baller?
What you gonna do with this baller?

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
