Born and raised in Tennessee, as a child he appeared on the television shows Star Search and The All-New Mickey Mouse Club. In the late 1990s, Timberlake rose to prominence as one of the two lead vocalists and youngest member of NSYNC, which eventually became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time. Timberlake won two Grammy Awards for his R&B-focused debut solo album Justified (2002) and its single "Cry Me a River". Another single from the album, "Rock Your Body", was also successful.
His critically acclaimed second album FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006), characterized by its diversity in music genres, debuted atop the U.S. Billboard 200 and spawned the Hot 100 consecutive number-one singles with "SexyBack", "My Love" and "What Goes Around... Comes Around". Established as a solo artist worldwide, his first two albums both exceeded sales of 10 million copies, as he continued producing records and collaborating with other artists.
From 2008 through 2012, Timberlake focused on his acting career, effectively putting his music career on hiatus. He held starring roles in the films The Social Network, Bad Teacher, Friends with Benefits, and In Time.
Timberlake resumed his music career in 2013 with his third and fourth albums The 20/20 Experience and The 20/20 Experience - 2 of 2, exploring neo soul styles, partly inspired by the expansive song structures of 1960s and 1970s rock. The former became the best-selling album of the year and spawned the top three singles "Suit & Tie" and "Mirrors". Timberlake voiced Branch in DreamWorks Animation's Trolls (2016), whose soundtrack includes his fifth Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping single, "Can't Stop the Feeling!", which earned him an Academy Award nomination. His fifth studio album Man of the Woods (2018) became his fourth number-one album in the US. Supported by the two top ten singles, "Filthy" and "Say Something", it concluded 2018 as the sixth best-selling album of the year.
Suit
Justin Timberlake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I be on my suit and tie shit, tie shit
Can I show you a few things?
A few things, a few things, little baby 'cause
I be on my suit and tie shit, tie shit
I be on my suit and tie shit, tie shit
Let me show you a few things
Let me show you a few things
Wait a minute, you ready, JT?
I can't wait 'til I get you on the floor, good-looking
Going out so hot, just like an oven
And I'll burn myself, but just had to touch it
It's so fly and it's all mine
Hey baby, we don't mind all the watching, hi
'Cause if they study close, real close, they might learn something
She ain't nothing but a little doozy when she does it
She's so fly (she's so fly) tonight
And as long as I've got my suit and tie
I'ma leave it all on the floor tonight
And you got fixed up to the nines
Let me show you a few things (show you a few things)
All pressed up in black and white
And you're dressed in that dress I like
Love is swinging in the air tonight
Let me show you a few things (show you a few things)
Let me show you a few things
Show you a few things, about love
While we're in the swing of love
Let me show you a few things
Show you a few things, about love, hey
Stop, let me get a good look at it
Ooh so thick, now I know why they call it a fatty
And oh shit so sick got a hit and picked up a habit
That's alright, 'cause you're all mine
Ooh go on and show 'em who you call daddy
I guess they're just mad 'cause girl, they wish they had it
Ooh my killer, my "Thriller" yeah you're a classic
And you're all mine tonight
And as long as I've got my suit and tie
I'ma leave it all on the floor tonight
And you got fixed up to the nines
Let me show you a few things (show you a few things)
All pressed up in black and white
And you're dressed in that dress I like
Love is swinging in the air tonight
Let me show you a few things (show you a few things)
Let me show you a few things
Show you a few things, about love
While we're in the swing of love
Let me show you a few things
Show you a few things, about love, hey
Get out ya seat, Hov, uh
All black at the white shows
White shoes at the black shows
Green card for the Cuban lynx
Y'all sit back and enjoy the light show
Nothing exceeds like excess
Stoute got gout from having the best of the best, is this what it's all about?
I'm at the restaurant with my rent, disturbing the guests
Years of distress, tears on the dress
Try to hide her face with some makeup sex, uh
This is truffle season
Tom Ford tuxedos for no reason
All Saints for my angel
Alexander Wang too
Ass-tight denim and some Dunks
I'll show you how to do this young, uh!
No papers, catch vapors
Get high, out Vegas
D'usses on doubles, ain't looking for trouble
You just got good genes so a nigga tryna cuff you
Tell your mother that I love her 'cause I love you
Tell your father we go farther as a couple
They ain't lose a daughter, got a son
I show you how to do this hun!
As long as I've got my suit and tie
I'ma leave it all on the floor tonight
Baby got fixed up to the nines
Let me show you a few things (show you a few things)
All pressed up in black and white
And you're dressed in that dress I like
Love is swinging in the air tonight
Let me show you a few things (show you a few things)
Let me show you a few things
Show you a few things, about love (love, love)
(Let, let) let me show you a few things
Show you a few things, about love, hey oh
In "Suit & Tie," Justin Timberlake presents himself as a smooth, sophisticated gentleman who knows how to dress and how to treat his woman. He's confident in himself and his abilities, and he wants to show you just what he's made of.

The chorus sets the tone for the song, as Timberlake repeats the phrase "I be on my suit and tie shit" over and over. He's proud of his attire and the way he carries himself, and he wants everyone to know it. He then invites his lady to let him show her a few things, which could refer to anything from dancing to lovemaking.
In the second verse, Timberlake gets even more explicit about his sexual desires, singing about how he can't wait to get his girl on the floor and how she's so fly she makes him want to touch her. He teases her for being a "little doozy" when she does her thing, and he's clearly in the mood for some seduction and romance.
Overall, "Suit & Tie" is a song about confidence, elegance, and sexiness. Justin Timberlake wants to show the world that he's a smooth operator who knows how to dress, how to act, and how to treat his woman.

@theharshtruthoutthere
@@johndoe-eh3tv For everyone who has questions about why my channel description is the way it is:
So KNOW this:
We are allowed to judge, even called upon to judge, ourselves and others.
No one on a personal level, yes, we do not have that right, but in general and giving FAIR TRIAL it is allowed to do so. And it's not just allowed, it's expected to.
John 7:24 Do not judge according to appearances, but judge with righteous judgment.
bible says:
Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather rebuke them.
Short answer, THEY ARE EVIL / workers of darkness.
The royals are not humans, but angel + animal + human hybrid creatures. GOD NEVER CREATED THEM.
Satan did it.
Freemasons are human puppets. The cowards, the fearful, the sold out, the greedy among us, humanity.
My question:
on each of your radars, have my playlists arrived?
@Godly..
One of the chillest and smoothest songs ever
@rubbergamer5092
If God is saying this. You know you did right.
@13days13
I agree, god. still holds up as a dope song today. That beat is so magical and classy, visuals are essentially a perfect match for the song. so smooth.

@@osamudazai6374 Like I kinda remember bumping this song in the past, but I don't think I ever noticed how well produced it was.
@pt93music
This aged like a fine wine. I fell in love with this song all over again. Love hearing something again when it's not being played to death 24/7 on every radio/tv show.
