[Intro: Pharrell Williams]
Hey!

[Verse 1: Pharrell Williams]
Hey, I'm a little teapot short and stout
There's some shake up in around me, know it's talking about
I pop the lid, the lid, it's gon' be me, I'm gonna let it out
Nothing'll hap' if I don't open my mouth
I ain't a punk bitch, I don't give a fuck
I'm just being me and speaking from the gut
Well it's a little bit of us, a whole lot of you
And we just came here to see what it do

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
I'm right here, and I ain't going nowhere
You can turn tables and you can throw chairs
I'm right here, and I ain't going nowhere
You can knock doors and tear gas the air so
Spaz if you want to, spaz if you want
Spa-spaz if you want to, spaz if you want to
Spaz if you want to, spaz if you want
Spa-spaz if you want to, spaz if you want to

[Verse 2: Shay Haley]
I'm a little teapot, blowing off steam
You put me on the heat, I don't whistle, I scream
Bang (bow!), bang (bow!), fuck a bed fuck a dream
This is rage blowing up your machine
I'm a star, bitch, I don't give a fuck
Don't be surprised when this bitch start blowing up
Well it's a little bit of us, a whole lot of you
And we just came here to see what it do

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
I'm right here, and I ain't going nowhere
You can turn tables and you can throw chairs
I'm right here, and I ain't going nowhere
You can knock doors and tear gas the air so
Spaz if you want to, spaz if you want
Spa-spaz if you want to, spaz if you want to
Spaz if you want to, spaz if you want
Spa-spaz if you want to, spaz if you want to

[Bridge: Pharrell Williams]
And now I'm waking up, laying in the ambulance bed
With something in my arm (I gotta get it off)
And tied to it, a line that'll read your mind
And next is your mind (I gotta get it off)
The shit they spray attack my lungs everyday
With a creeping decay (I gotta get it off)
By attacking these things, I earned my wings
And my halo but first I gotta get it off

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
I'm right here, and I ain't going nowhere
You can turn tables and you can throw chairs
I'm right here, and I ain't going nowhere
You can knock doors and tear gas the air so
Spaz if you want to, spaz if you want
Spa-spaz if you want to, spaz if you want to
Spaz if you want to, spaz if you want
Spa-spaz if you want to, spaz if you want to
I'm right here, and I ain't going nowhere
You can turn tables and you can throw chairs
I'm right here, and I ain't going nowhere
You can knock doors and tear gas the air so
Spaz if you want to, spaz if you want
Spa-spaz if you want to, spaz if you want to
Spaz if you want to, spaz if you want
Spa-spaz if you want to, spaz if you want to

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
