Chris Brown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get up, get up
Kiddominant on the beat, better run it back

Fuckin' Robitussin
I don't know why this shit got me lazy right now, yeah
Can't do Percocets or Molly
I'm turnin' one, tryna live it up here right, right, right

Baby, you can
Ride it, ooh, yeah
Bring it over to my place
And you be like
"Baby, who cares?"
But I know you care
Bring it over to my place

You don't know what you did, did to me
Your body lightweight speaks to me
I don't know what you did, did to me
Your body lightweight speaks to me

(Rain on it)
(Yeah)
(Yeah)

I can make it hurricane on it
Hunnid bands, make it rain on it
Tie it up, put a chain on it
Make you tattoo my name on it, oh
Make you cry like a baby, yeah
Let's GoPro and make a video, yeah
Make you cry like a baby, yeah
Let's GoPro and make a video
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Baby, you can
Ride it, ooh, yeah
Bring it over to my place
And you be like
"Baby, who cares?"
But I know you care
Bring it over to my place

You don't know what you did, did to me
Your body lightweight speaks to me
I don't know what you did, did to me
Your body lightweight speaks to me

(Rain on it)
(Rain on it)
(Rain on it)

Baby, you can
Ride it, ooh, yeah
And you be like
"Baby, who cares?"
But I know you care

Overall Meaning

The song "Under The Influence" by Chris Brown, serves as an ode to drugs and the sexual escapades that follow suit. The song begins with Chris explicitly stating his drug of choice, "Robitussin," despite not knowing why it makes him feel lazy. He mentions his desire to "live it up" and "turn one," indicating he might be celebrating his birthday. The lyrics then delve into the sexual themes of the song, with Chris inviting a woman over to his place, who initially tries to pretend she doesn't care about the situation. However, Chris knows the truth and urges her to come over because her body "speaks" to him.


The second verse of the song focuses entirely on sexual themes and Chris's prowess in bed. He claims he can make it "hurricane" and spend "hunnid bands" – a reference to a hundred thousand dollars – on the woman. Chris continues to urge the woman to make a video with him on a GoPro camera, indicating a further exploration of their sexual experiences.


Overall, "Under The Influence" is a song that explores the sexual and drug-fuelled world of Chris Brown. Lyrics like "your body lightweight speaks to me," indicate the casualisation of sex and an objectification of women.
