About The Fix

"The Fix" is a song by American hip hop recording artist Nelly featuring American singer Jeremih. The track is produced by DJ Mustard and Mike Free and interpolates Marvin Gaye's 1982 hit song "Sexual Healing". The song came to fruition as a result of Nelly and DJ Mustard having the same publisher, who made sure all references to the interpolation contained within "The Fix" were cleared before it was released.

Shawty hit me on the late night
Got a man, got me thinking, Shawty, ain't right
She say she ain't about the creep life
But all she wanna do is take pipe

Or you can meet me in the lobby
Talking bout it

Oh

Girl, 'til I reach your ocean
Oh

When you need that fix, yeah, that medicine
I know you like it like this
When you get that itch, adrenaline
Heart beating outta your chest
Heart beating outta yo chest
And when that pressure's building
I got what you need, come f*ck with me
And when you get that feeling
I got sexual healing

Bust it open every time I get up inside
Soaking wet, turn the bed to a slip n slide
Spread eagle, nigga eating like it's supper time
Shawty knows who's is it, it's all mine
I ain't mad at nobody no
I just wanna have your body
And if you can take it deep
Then let a nigga like me, get at that body girl

Oh

Girl, 'til I reach your ocean
Oh

When you need that fix, yeah, that medicine
I know you like it like this
When you get that itch, adrenaline
Heart beating outta your chest
Heart beating outta yo chest
And when that pressure's building
I got what you need, come f*ck with me
And when you get that feeling
I got sexual healing

When you need that fix, yeah, that medicine
I know you like it like this
When you get that itch, adrenaline
Heart beating outta your chest
Heart beating outta yo chest
And when that pressure's building
I got what you need, come f**k with me
And when you get that feeling
I got sexual healing
