And baby I can transform ya him to a me,
I can change you life, make it so new,
Make you never want to go back to the old you,
Ciroc and lime, give it a lil' time,
And she can transform like Optimus Prime

Need a ride I can Range you up,
Money I can change you up,
You can ride your own, no longer be the passenger,
Swag low I build you up,
Knees weak I'll stand you up,
Red lips, red dress, like em like a fire truck,

What you need, you can have that,
My black card they don't decline that,
See potential in ya,
Let me mold that

I can transform, I can transform ya

Anything ya want, I can get it for ya,
Your my baby girl shoulda know I did it for ya,

Shoes you got it (got it)
Bags you got it (got it),
Cars you got it (got it),
Money still got it (got it),

Anything you want I can (I can) get it for ya,

See me in the video you can have it really though,
Iced out everything, freezing like an Eskimo,
Wanna fly, we can go, anywhere you wanna go,
Jimmy Choos in Italy, Louie V in Tokyo,

Something like Pinocchio,
If you lie down I'm a grow,
Wanna see me do it big,
I can show you how it goes,
Take you from an amateur to being professional,
(I can have you swag surfing)

My black card they don't decline that
See potential in ya,

Take you off the bench and turn ya to a starter,
Then take you home and put you on a charger,
Then (then) my cars transforms to a charter,
And we can fly to wherever you ever thought of,
Hehe, I take you to wherever it's warmer,
Then I gotta rip off your dress like a warm up,
Hehe, but I'm just getting warmed up,
So tell your man he better get his voltron up,
I transform her to a Ducati and then I transform me to a Bugatti,
Cos her form puts me in a trance,
I transform smaller and she puts me in her pants,
Swiss on the Beat, Chris move ya feet
Weezy transform a good girl to a freak,

Anything ya want, I can get it for ya,
Your my baby girl shoulda know I did it for ya,

Bags you got it (got it),
Cars you got it (got it),
Money still got it (got it),




I can transform ya, I can transform ya,

Overall Meaning

"Transform Ya" is a song by Chris Brown featuring Lil Wayne, released in 2009. The song was written by Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, and Kevin McCall, and produced by Swiss Beatz. The lyrics of the song talk about how Chris can "transform" his love interest into a better version of herself with the help of his wealth and fame. He can provide her with cars, bags, shoes, and transform her into a "freak" from a "good girl." The song is a combination of rap and R&B, and it showcases Chris Brown's dancing skills.


The lyrics of the song can be interpreted in different ways. It can be seen as a means for Brown to show off his wealth and the way he can transform women with his money and fame. On the other hand, it can also be seen as a metaphor for transforming someone's life through love and affection. The song's catchy chorus and Lil Wayne's rap verse made it a popular club and radio hit.


One of the interesting facts about the song is that it samples the Beastie Boys' "Paul Revere" instrumental track. Another interesting fact is that the song was written and produced by the same team that worked on Jay-Z's hit song "On to the Next One," which was released in the same year. "Transform Ya" was Brown's first single after his highly publicized assault on his then-girlfriend, Rihanna, earlier that year.


The song's music video features Chris Brown and Lil Wayne transforming various women while dancing in front of bright lights and transformers. The video was directed by Joseph Kahn and premiered on BET's 106 & Park on October 27, 2009.


Chords: The chords for the song are C#m, A, B, F#m.
