Yes sir,
See what we about to do right now
is pay Tribute to a livin' legend
So I brought Naturally Seven with me to do it big,
And I brought DTP's [bad word] Currence
And me, I go by the name of Ludacris, right
And it's a lot of people out there claiming that they bosses...
But I'm here to let you know the [bad word] boss is back,
Let's go!!
 [bad word] 
It's the rebirth of [bad word] soul bossa nostra, (he's back on the block)
The [bad word] soul is boss is over
Better respect your roots I hope you're taking notice
Because he's the, the [bad word] back with mo' hits
It's something old with a new feel, vocals too good to be real, Soul Bossa Nostra

Yeah, Luda!
Hee keep a flock of PYT's with him
And they all exotic, [bad word] in groups of threes with him
Pimpin all over the world and I really get it hot when I'm overseas with him
And when we in bel air at the castle I shoot the breeze with him

Publishing checks [bad word] even when he stay in bed
So we eating at the master table and we breaking bread
New artists steady bossin up but I tell them why bother
They [bad word] close to Ludacris and his Godfather,
That's Quincy Jones baby
 [bad word] ]
 [bad word] 
Keeping up with the Joneses (don't try your luck)
Just check the records cause he's holding the number one spot
So let the groove set the mood and (don't try to stop it)
It's vocal [bad word] with the swing

Bet you I can do it too (bossa nova bossa nova)
Now that Luda 'n'em let me through (boss I'm taking over)
II-I'm here to bridge the gap between the old and the new
(Boss I told you, boss I told you) that I'm a Casanova
Quincy p-put that (swing on her), and I'm put that (thing on her)
Stank face mean mugging 'em
Hugging this crack like ooh
I'm gonna make it do what it do, yeah
