In Chris Brown's song "Bite My Tongue," he talks about the difficulty of keeping quiet and staying mum about all the feelings and thoughts he's having about a romantic interest. He feels numb about not being able to express himself, but he's thinking of ways to tell her how he feels. He wants to leave the current setting they're in and get away with her. He promises not to hold his tongue and express himself fully, assuring her he's not trying to kiss and run, but he's dedicated to her fully. He says he'd do anything for her and won't do her wrong.
The song is about the difficulty of keeping your emotions to yourself when you're crushing on someone. Sometimes, you have to bite your tongue and play it safe, but other times you want to throw caution into the wind and let them know how you feel. The song appears to be a reminder to those listening that it's necessary to express yourself and not let fear or uncertainty get in the way of pursuing what you want in a relationship.

Chris doesn't get enough credit. There's a reason why 2 out of every six or so songs you hear on the radio contains a Chris Brown feature. Clearly the hardest working entertainer in the game. And clearly one of the most talented as well. In fact, I can't think of too many other artists who can sing/rap/dance/direct/act/paint etc as well as this brother. Actually, I can't name one. It's a shame this truth is not reflected in his album sales.

The layering of CB's voice in this song gives me the chills--so methodical and harmonizing and also incredibly original in adding to the actual musical score diversity and is seamlessly woven throughout, in my opinion. Chris Brown is a musical genius/prodigy and i'm eager to hear more of his music!!
Mohammed mapapa
