Hit it two times to set the tone
Hit it two times to set the tone like

Swerving whip man fuck the law

The song "Control" by Chenny Britt seems to revolve around the theme of sex, power, and control. The lyrics are dominated by a repeated hook of "who's in control," which seems to suggest a struggle for dominance and agency between the singer and their partner.
The first verse begins by setting the tone, with the singer signaling their intent to take charge ("hit it two times to set the tone"). They then proclaim that they are an "animal," and that they possess both money and power. The reference to being "high off tab and Adderall" implies that they are in an altered state of mind, perhaps driven by hedonism or a thirst for control. The second verse sees the singer struggling with their own desires, admitting that they are "chasing women damn I should be chasing revenue." Despite this conflict, they continue to assert their control, urging their partner to "take it over like T'Challa" (a reference to the Marvel character Black Panther) and promising to "hit it harder" and "do it stronger" however their partner wants.
Throughout the song, there is a pervasive sense of dominance and submission, with the singer using explicit language to describe their sexual prowess and positioning themselves in a position of power. However, there is also a sense of vulnerability and desperation, with the repeated question of "who's in control" betraying an underlying uncertainty and fear of losing that control.
