Give It
Nelly Furtado & Justin Timberlake & Timbaland Lyrics

Is it going, is it going, is it going, is it going?
Asking if something is happening or progressing.

I don't know what you're looking for
Unclear about what someone wants.

Oh, yeah, boy, come on
Encouraging someone to continue with a task.

I'm the type of girl that'll look you dead in the eye, eye
Not afraid to directly confront someone.

I'm real as it comes, if you don't know why I'm fly
Authenticity is what makes someone appealing.

I seen ya try to switch it up, but, girl, you ain't that dope
Someone tried to change their style, but it didn't work out.

I'm the Wonder Woman, let me go get my rope
A powerful and strong woman, ready to take control.

I'm a supermodel and mami, si mami
Confident and attractive, with Latin influence.

Amnesty International, got Bangkok to Montauk on lock
A global organization that promotes human rights, with reach from Thailand to New York.

Love my ass, and my abs in the video called Promiscuous
Appreciate the way someone looks in the music video Promiscuous.

My style is re-dic-dic-diculous, 'ulous, 'ulous
Repetitive way of saying that one's style is amazing.

When Timbo is in the party, everybody put up they hands
When producer Timbaland is present, everyone shows their enthusiasm.

I get a half a mil' for my beats, you get a couple grand
Artist is paid a large sum of money for producing music beats compared to others.

Never gon' see the day that I ain't got the upper hand
Always in control and on top of things.

I'm respected from Californ-i-a way down to Japan
Honored and admired by people from California to Japan.

I'm a real producer, and you just a piano man
Someone who creates music through various means compared to someone who only uses a piano.

Your song gonna top the charts, I heard 'em, I'm not a fan
Even though other songs may be popular, the artist is not a personal fan of them.

Niggas talkin' greasy, I'm the one that gave them they chance
People speak rudely, but the artist is the one who provided them with an opportunity.

Somebody need to tell 'em that they can't do it like I can
No one else can do something the way that the artist can.

Could you speak up and stop mu-mumbling?
Asking someone to speak louder and more clearly.

I don't think you came in clear
Not being able to hear what someone said or meant.

When you're sitting on the top, it's hard to hear you from way up here
When someone is very successful, it can be difficult to hear the criticisms or opinions of others.

Now I saw you tryna act cute on TV, just let me clear the air
When someone was pretending to be cute or behave a certain way on television but the artist is making it clear what really happened.

We missed you on the charts last week
Your music was not popular or successful last week.

Damn, that's right, you wasn't there
Acknowledging that person's music was not present on musical charts last week.

Now if se-sexy never left, then why's everybody on my shit?
A reference to someone else's song, but questioning why people still enjoy or focus on the artist's music.

Don't hate on me just because you didn't come up with it
Not wanting to be criticized just because someone else didn't create or make something.

So if you see us in the club, go on and walk the other way
When the artist and friends are in the club, avoiding them and walking away.

'Cause our run would never be over, not at least until we say
The artist and company will continue to be successful until they decide to stop.

Oh yeah, improve
Encouraging the idea of improving oneself.

(If, you, see, us, in, the-)
Introductory phrase to the chorus.

Club, we'll be acting real nice
Acting pleasant and friendly when in the club.

If you see us on the floor, you'll be watchin' all night
Being the center of attention with people watching all night long.

We ain't here to hurt nobody
Explicitly stating that no one's intent is to harm or hurt others.

So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Asking for something to be given or provided.

Wanna see you work your body
Wanting to see someone dance or move their body.

So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Repeating the request for something to be given or provided.
