Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Go hey lil' mama
I can transform ya
No, I can't dance but I can dance on ya
Swizz on the beats, Chris move ya feet
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
Cîroc and lime, give it 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
I can transform ya
I can transform ya
Anything ya want, I can get it for ya
You're my baby girl, so you know I get it for ya
I can trans, I can trans, I can transform 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)
I can transform ya, I can transform ya
Anything you want I can (I can) get it for ya

See it 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 Choo's in Italy, Louis V in Tokyo
Somethin' 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 surfin')

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 (bounce)
I can transform ya
I can transform ya
Anything ya want, I can get it for ya
You're my baby girl, so you know I get it for ya
I can trans, I can trans, I can transform 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)
I can transform ya, I can transform ya
Anything you want I can (I can) get it for ya

Okay (Chris)
I can transform ya, like a Transformer
I can turn you from a human to a Carter
Take you off the bench, t-turn ya to a starter
Then take you home and put you on a charger
Th-then my cars transforms to a charter
And we can fly to wherever you ever thought of
Haha, I take you to wherever it's warmer
Then I gotta rip off your dress like a warm up
Haha, but I'm just gettin' 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
'Cause her form puts me in a trance
I transform smaller and she puts me in her pants
Swizz on the Beat, Chris move ya feet
Weezy transform a good girl to a freak

I can transform ya
I can transform ya
Anything ya want, I can get it for ya
You're my baby girl, so you know I get it for ya
I can trans, I can trans, I can transform 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)

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

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics to “I Got Ya,” Cory Gunz ft. Lil Wayne, the two rappers talk about their capabilities to change and improve the lives of women. They use the metaphor of “transforming” the women into better versions of themselves, using swag, money, and power. They make mention of designer clothes, shoes, and expensive cars, and imply that they can provide these things for their women. The song seems to be about the kind of materialistic lifestyle that Gunz and Wayne lead, and how they are able to use their wealth to make women feel better about themselves.

The lyrics are also peppered with sexual innuendos, such as “knees weak, I’ll stand you up,” and “she puts me in her pants.” This reinforces the idea that the rappers are looking for women they can manipulate and use for their own pleasure. The transformative process that they describe seems to be one where they take a woman who may lack confidence or financial resources, and turn her into a woman who is subservient to them, ready and willing to do their bidding.

The message of the song is troubling and problematic, as it reinforces gender stereotypes and promotes the idea that women are objects to be owned and controlled. The lyrics are also highly materialistic, and suggest that a woman’s worth is determined by the amount of money and possessions she has. Overall, “I Got Ya” is a song that perpetuates negative and harmful attitudes towards women.
