[Intro]
"N...E...R...D...
This..is... *In...Search...Of...*"

[Pharrell Williams]
Hey
It's me, your subconscious speaking
Turn me up yo
Close your eyes
Now that I got you under my concentration
Let's pledge allegience
We are the rare
We are the strong
We are the meek
We're just not humble about it
We've been here since the beginning of time
And all products of the world in which we live in
Are products of our imagination
We are the dreamers
And as long as we dream, we will never die
You know why?
Cause no one ever really dies

[Outro]
Hey, baby
Me, Chad, and Shae
We want to squeeze you titties
Mmm

N.E.R.D. (officially stylized as NER*D, as seen on their covers) is a backronym that stands for No-One Ever Really Dies.

N.E.R.D. is a hip-hop and rock band whose members include Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, also known as The Neptunes, and Shae Haley. The band was formed as a side project by the Neptunes in 1999. Williams and Hugo had known each other since 1985 when they were 12, and they met Shae Haley a few years later in high school. Hugo and Williams signed a deal when they graduated high school in 1992 and eventually, Hailey joined them when N.E.R.D. was formed.

In September 2001 the band released their first album, In Search Of in Europe. They used digital production for the project but when they prepared for the worldwide release a year later they opted to re-record the album with a live funk rock band known as Spymob. Two years later in March of 2004, they released their second album, Fly or Die. Unfortunately, the two albums didn’t have nearly as much success as The Neptunes production work—collectively the two albums barely broke a million copies sold. In 2005 the group supposedly disbanded because of a dispute with Virgin Records, but Pharrell contradicted this claim in an April 2008
