[Intro]
Alright, calm down, calm down
And with over forty-two of the majority votes
It goes to Cheeky Andy
[Verse 1]
You know you kinda cute with the bald head (Yeah)
Got a lil' booty in the Balmains (Ooh)
You know how to move with them long legs (Dance)
Bring your lil' crew, we can all rage, oh (Come on)
The Tesla rides smooth down the PCH (Skrrt)
I think that I like her with the makeup off
I know that she used to all the cheapskates
But I just wanna ball, show off and show her
[Chorus]
I ain't even put my jewels on
I ain't even played my latest, greatest song
I ain't even put my jewels on, mmm
Had to make a point 'cause the whole joint way too dull
(Clean up, clean up)
[Interlude]
Oh yeah, mmm
How is it workin' with Timbaland and what's he like?
[Verse 2]
You know you kinda cute with the long braids
Got a little cool with your sunny shades on
I know that you ready if you don't go
You know I'ma wait if you don't take long
The Tesla rides smooth down the PCH
Wait, I don't wanna say it, but I had to say it (Ah)
We ain't have do too much to show off
But a nigga had to prove a point, hold up
[Chorus]
I ain't even put my jewels on (Goddamn it)
I ain't even played my latest, greatest song (Yeah)
I ain't even put my jewels on, mmm
Had to make a point 'cause the whole joint way too dull, yeah
(Clean up, clean up)
[Post-Chorus]
Now don't it look so beautiful? (Yeah)
Beautiful
Don't it look so beautiful? (Mmm)
Had to clean up
Don't it look so beauti— (Beautiful, oh yeah, 'ful, yeah)
Beauti— (Oh yeah, 'ful, yeah)
Beauti—(Beautiful, oh yeah, 'ful, yeah)
Clean up, had to clean up
[Bridge]
(Ooh-ooh)
(I ain't even get to play my latest, greatest song)
(And I ain't even get to put my jewels on, put my jewels on)
[Interlude]
Woah, mate
Alright, alright, put 'em up
What are you talkin' about?
Oh, piss off, mate, put 'em up, I want hands
Oh, you want hands?
Yes, I got a sale, buy one, get one free
[Chorus]
I ain't even put my jewels on (Beautiful)
I ain't even played my latest, greatest song (Clean up, clean up)
I ain't even put my jewels on
Had to make a point 'cause the whole joint way too dull (Clean up, clean up)
[Post-Chorus]
Now don't it look so beautiful? (Beautiful)
Beautiful
Beautiful (Beautiful)
[Outro]
You can see the chap comin' now (Had to clean up, had to clean up)
Still in impeccable shape as he makes his way off the jet
Chap?
Alright, if we could, alright, if we could just have one word
Back up, nigga, ayy, ayy (One word)
Back up, give us some space (One word)
Come on, get in the car, buddy, come on

…[I]t’s really dope to see someone like Timbaland that comes out of that era and that can still get the keyboard and mash out a beat right there on the spot. You know what I’m saying? A lot of dudes can’t do that no more. ‘JEWELZ’ was amazing, man....
