Chris Brown Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where you going, slow it
Don't act like you don't see me
I'm glowing, show me
What you look like in the morning
Tone it on it, floating on 25s
I wouldn't be fly if I threw some D's on it

When I step to the floor I'm fresh low key

When I step through the door all eyes on me
Wanna be a star get on TV
It's bout to jump off in my car so come with me

Hey girl I love what you do (yeah)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Chris Brown's "Get At Ya" revolve around a man trying to get the attention of a woman he is interested in. He is confident and self-assured, putting emphasis on his car and his swag, and makes it clear that he wants to be with her. He mentions that he is "glowing" and challenging her to "show me what you look like in the morning". He also raps about his car, its horsepower, and how it moves "200 miles per hour" to impress her. Throughout the song, he tries to catch her attention, and in the end asks her, "Do you feel me girl?"

The lyrics are a common theme in many songs about love and attraction. Chris Brown's confidence in his approach seems to be the driving force behind the lyrics. He appears to be taking the initiative and trying to get the woman he wants, but at the same time, he doesn't come off as aggressive, but rather as someone who is just trying to put his best foot forward. The use of the car as a symbol of power and success can be seen as an attempt to impress the woman, but he also raps about how he wants her to be a "bad girl", which suggests that there is more to the attraction than just his car and material possessions.
