Gimme Some More
Busta Rhymes ft Roots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As a shorty playing in the front yard of the crib
Fell down and I bumped my head
Somebody helped me up and asked me if I bumped my head
I said, "Yeah"
So then they said, "Oh, so that mean we gon', you gon' switch it on em'?"
I said, "Yeah, Flipmode, Flipmode is the greatest"
Knowing as a shorty, I was always told
I gotta be the greatest myself
Come on, come on, yeah, come on
Yeah, nigga, what? what a surprise
Give ya somethin', make a nigga close both of your eyes
All my niggas gettin' money capitalize
Die little small guy, we on the rise
Everything a nigga touch platinumize
Fully equipped, you know we come wit' all the supplies
Got a big gun and I'ma show you the size
You fuck wit' any of my Flipmode family ties
Me and my niggas be comin' through stalkin' you out
Killin' off any and everything you talkin' about
See you in the club, now we walkin' you out
Shoulda' thought twice 'fore you went and opened your mouth
Yo, anyway we stay keepin it movin'
Fuckin' with the wrong nigga, hope you know what you doin'
Now blame me, all the same niggas is lame
It's not a game, makin' names still splittin' your frames
Y'all niggas had enough?
Gimme some more
Y'all niggas want the wild shit?
Gimme some more
Yo, Spliff, where the weed at?
Gimme some more
I know y'all niggas need that
Gimme some more
Even though we getting money you can
Gimme some more
With the cars and the big crib
Gimme some more
Everybody spread love
Gimme some more
If you want it let me hear you say it
Gimme some more
Flash with a rash, gimme my cash, flickin' my ash
Runnin' with my money, son, go out with a blast
Do what you want, a nigga's cuttin' the corner
You fuckin' up the order, go ahead and meet the reporter
Yo, she tellin' news on how you switch to a bitch
Little fake funny style, nigga chill with a snitch
So now I pass you straight up, don't got nothing to ask you
Make a little room for me and all my niggas to pass through
Cartier, Sidney Poitier, hooray shit
Roll with all my niggas from around the way shit
When I come through y'all niggas know I do my thing
Bring more shit that generate money, cha-ching
Arrest you lyrically flow and caress you
Bless you then a nigga come to your rescue
While you assume a nigga blossom and bloom
I'm comin' soon, hit you with a boom, gimme some room
Y'all niggas had enough?
Gimme some more
Y'all niggas want the wild shit?
Gimme some more
Ay, Spliff, where the weed at?
Gimme some more
I know y'all niggas need that
Gimme some more
Even though we getting money you can
Gimme some more
Cars and the big crib
Gimme some more
Everybody spread love
Gimme some more
If you want it, let me hear you say it
Gimme some more
Yo (yo), live nigga shit, know what I mean?
I represent while we gettin' money and reign supreme
Hope y'all niggas know we comin' through full steam
Can't see me, better turn on your high beam
All my niggas wildin', ringing the siren
Flipmode be the glory niggas on my team
Never should you ever try to fuck wit' my cream
I OD when my shit get all in your bloodstream
Every time we be rippin' it, be blowing it down
Blowing you off fuckin' wit' the hottest niggas around ('round)
Ruckus when me and my people run through your town
Holdin' it down takin' a while and then gimme my crown
Ayy (yo), all my people need to come and surround
A nigga be hittin' so much it make you fall on the ground
Sure to make you shout that's what I be all about
Turnin' you out, makin' all you niggas fall out
Y'all niggas had enough?
Gimme some more
Y'all niggas want the wild shit?
Gimme some more
Ay, Spliff, where the weed at?
Gimme some more
I know y'all niggas need that
Gimme some more
Even though we getting money you can
Gimme some more
With the cars and the big crib
Gimme some more
Everybody spread love
Gimme some more
If you want it let me hear you say it
Gimme some more

@SaltpeterTaffy
Whoever had the idea to freeze every shot with Busta in it for just a moment before the cut deserves an Oscar. It's so subtle but it adds so much tension.
@MangaSword8
Real shit. Its also a dope technique because it always keeps focus on Busta
@hardcoreblanco
It's genius.
@VDOTU5
I consider whoever made the choice to do those freeze frames was inspired by one of the Resident Evil games in the 1990s, in which you couldn't walk into another area without everything freezing for like half a second. Wouldn't be surprising since it's a Horror game, and this samples that violin from 'Psycho'.
@hardcoreblanco
@@VDOTU5 True. It could be.
@justcord7114
I can’t wrap my head around exactly why but the freeze frames are amazing
@Rosabel_Believe
22 years later and not many videos can even come close to touching this masterpiece.
