Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemem (ayy)
You are now tuned in to the very best (oh, the very best)

This navigator, you the one like Lincoln
Black Bentley, you look better in a pink one
She smoking and I'm about to steam one
Let's skip and make love on Venus
Baby, the ball's in your court like Serena's
Make me jump over that net between us
And let nothing get between us
We too hot, only sweat between us

The song "Gimme Whatcha Got" by Chris Brown is focused on the artist's desire for a beautiful woman whom he considers to be a stunner. The lines, "They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder / Well, I bet I couldn't look more bolder," indicate the confidence that he has in his ability to recognize beauty, and he goes on to describe the woman's looks and her appeal to him with a series of metaphors and comparisons. He creates scenes of dipping her into his solar and exploring her as if she were a Ford or a Lincoln, and he goes on to desire to make love to her on Venus.
There's a clear sense of urgency and passion in his language and the beat of the song, and he's clear in his desires towards the woman. The song is heavy with flirtation and playfulness from beginning to end, as he goes on to ask the woman to "give whatcha got."
