Gimmie That
Chris Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Storch (oh)
S. Dot (Yea)
[Ad Lib:]
Ooh Ohh.
[Spoken:]
[Spoken:]
wow wow wow wow.....its what your body sayin.
Chris Brown is in the building.
[Verse 1:]
The young boy just turned 16
and i got 64's and hot bikes that I rock
Keep 3 or 4 sweeties on my clock,
but all that swinging in that bikini just might convince him.
Slow all the traffic down to a complete stop, cause you speaking that slang that i talk.
That sassy tempo with that walk, maybe the reason that all this jeans(?) may never see me.
[Chorus: 2x]
Momma you may be 3 years older but you hot (gimme that)
You be talking like you like what i got (gimme that)
I know you like it how i lean in the lac,
You can be in the bac saying (gimme, gimme, gimme)
[Repeat Song: 2x]
The song Gimme That by Chris Brown is about his self-confidence and his ability to attract women, specifically an older woman whom he finds attractive. The song starts with various ad-libs from Storch and S.Dot, and then Brown is introduced with a wow, which suggests that he is a big deal. In the first verse, he talks about how he just turned 16, and he has a lot of expensive cars and bikes that he loves to ride. He is always surrounded by women, but he's particularly drawn to the older woman who is talking to him.
Brown is attracted to this older woman because of the way she walks, talks, and carries herself. He wants to slow down all the traffic just to speak to her as she's walking down the street, which suggests he's smitten or love-struck. In the chorus, he acknowledges that she may be older than him by at least three years, but he finds her attractive and wants her to give him attention. The repetition of the phrase "gimme that" suggests his confidence and his willingness to go after what he wants. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus.
In conclusion, the song is a mixture of Brown's self-confidence, his admiration for women, his materialistic lifestyle, and his attraction to someone older than him. Throughout the song, he acknowledges his age and celebrates the idea of getting older women. The song can be seen as a representation of his youthful arrogance and a desire to be mature.
