Scott Storch, Game
Chris Brown
The meanest the meaner, the second I seen her
Had me open, got me looking, losing all my control
The passion I’m feining, baby, you’re the new meaning
But I found myself tripping when you walked through the door
And I know it’s not like me getting beside myself
She got me feeling that way
And I know it’s unlikely that you’re gon’ deny me
And just walk away
I’ll be that guy that don’t have time to play
It’s looking like a schedule is ’bout the same
The ball is in your court, I’m ready for your game
It’s looking like your neck is ready for my chain
She be that girl I’ll be waiting for
Sending me them signals that I can’t ignore
Thought I was gonna get her on the dance floor
Then I saw her headed to the exit door
I call her nice ’cause she got it
Do whatever whenever ’cause she ’bout it
That there’s nice ’cause I got it
Do whatever, whenever ’cause I’m ’bout it
I’m falling for her
She got me trapped
That girl’s nice ’cause she got it
‘Cause she got it, she got it
Breathe, breathe
Your body is screaming, believe that I’m listening
To every word you’re saying, girl, I’m loosing my cool
You bet you a soldier and I got me a rider
And you ain’t gotta stress it ’cause there’s nothing to prove
I know it ain’t easy being a sexy girl
That’s always getting her way
But I’m here to tell you
You got me up on you and I won’t let you slip away
I’ll be that guy that don’t have time to play (Nah)
It’s looking like a schedule is ’bout the same (Yeah)
The ball is in your court, I’m ready for your game (Yeah)
It’s looking like your neck is ready for my chain (Uh)
She be that girl I’ll be waiting for
Sending me them signals that I can’t ignore (Damn)
Thought I was gonna get her on the dance floor
Then I saw her headed to the exit door (Oh)
I call her nice ’cause she got it (Oh)
Do whatever whenever ’cause she ’bout it (Oh, yeah)
That there’s nice ’cause I got it (I got it, yeah)
Do whatever, whenever ’cause I’m ’bout it (‘Bout it)
I’m falling for her (Falling for her)
She got me trapped (Got me trapped)
That girl’s nice ’cause she got it
‘Cause she got it, she got it
Breathe, breathe
Yeah, you [?] know now that it’s ’bout go down
The club is packed up
The word around town that this is the jump off
You know when [?] drops that this is the jump off
I did it for Big, Pac
I’m pourin’ my Cristal, the [?] is too hot
They takin’ they clothes off, they yellin’ out, “2Pac”
‘Cause I’m from the Westside and they from the East Coast
My [?] from down South, they lettin’ they teeth show
‘Cause this ain’t Def Jam and this ain’t Bad Boy
This ain’t Star Trak, this is the last call
They turnin’ the lights on, the bar is shot down
I’m walking with Scott Storch and we in the front now
The [?] is with me, they ready to pop off
You bringin’ your girlfriend, she gotta get knocked off
So hop in the six-four ’cause this ’bout to get down
It’s going down
I call her nice ’cause she got it (Oh, ayy)
Do whatever whenever ’cause she ’bout it (She ’bout it)
That there’s nice ’cause I got it (C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)
Do whatever, whenever ’cause I’m ’bout it (C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)
I’m falling for her
She got me trapped
That girl’s nice ’cause she got it (Yeah)
‘Cause she got it, she got it (Uh, uh)
Breathe (Uh, uh), breathe
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go
Let’s go
Let’s go

Do whatever, whenever ’cause I’m ’bout it (C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)

She got me trapped
That girl’s nice ’cause she got it (Yeah)
‘Cause she got it, she got it (Uh, uh)
Breathe (Uh, uh), breathe
Exploring Attraction and Confidence
In “Nice,” Chris Brown taps into the exhilarating sensation of meeting someone who instantly captures your attention. The lyrics unfold from the perspective of a man who is captivated by a confident woman, emphasizing her allure and self-assured presence. Brown paints a vivid picture of desire and the tension between playing it cool and wanting to pursue a deeper connection. The repetition of phrases like “she got it” and “do whatever, whenever” captures a mutual attraction where both parties are equally invested and unafraid to show it.
Club Vibes and Playful Energy
The song’s narrative is set against the lively backdrop of a club, adding layers of excitement and anticipation. The verses reference the energy of nightlife, the thrill of a potential hookup, and the bravado that comes with being both wanted and wanting someone. The use of playful metaphors—like the ball being in her court—underscores the flirtatious game between Brown and his muse, ultimately celebrating confidence, chemistry, and the fun of the chase.
