Overall Meaning

The song "Shawty Is Da Shit" by Fabolous and The-Dream, begins with a list of female names that the artists have known in their past. As the song progresses, Fabolous describes his experience with one specific girl who has now grown up and transformed into a beautiful woman. He reminisces about how he first met her, years ago, and how he is now drawn to her magnetic presence. The chorus repeats the phrase "Shawty is the shit", essentially confirming that the woman they are referring to is special and unique.


The second verse describes the physical attributes of the woman they are admiring, from her Dior jeans to the Burberry fragrance she wears. Fabolous admits how hard he was left "as a rock" when she touched him. The verse concludes with the idea that fate has brought him back to her, and he is there to say hello and to let her "nigga" know it’s time to say goodbye.


The last verse of the song has a more lighthearted and playful tone as Fabolous emphasizes the importance of tipping a woman who takes care of you. He even suggests tipping himself if he makes pancakes and bacon for breakfast. The chorus repeats, with the addition of "rock to the beat for ya boy" as if she is dancing to and for him.

Definitely a great song. The Dream has always made hits. They don't do em like this anymore.

@strawhats854

thats a fact!

@youngnaughty8293

If The Dream collab with The Weeknd, I will rest in piece

@larrymarshall8900

They sound a like but who will get top billing when the album drops good question. They're both great artists but their stage names sounds it can be a group's name.
