Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So hit me on my 2-Way and put it on me now

I know what you be sayin' when you whisper to you girl,
I see how you be lickin' on that chocolate swirl,
I know you want me over there to rock your world,
Hit me on my 2-Way and we can get it on.

Hit me up and let me know,
Whats the deal if maybe we can tell,
If you don't I'll hit you on the cell,
Holla at me later, honey you can feel it baby I can tell,
Later I'll be ringing on your bell.

Hit me up and let me know,
Whats the deal if maybe we can tell,
If you don't I'll hit you on the cell,
Holla at me later, honey you can feel it baby I can tell,
Later I'll be ringing on your bell.

I see how you be looking, yeah you checkin out ma ride,
I feel/see those DJ rockin' but my shorty's by my side
I wanna holla at you but my hands are tied,
Hit me on my 2-Way and we can get it on.

I see your man be trippin', he be buggin I'm for sure,
He saw the kiss you blew me and his jaws hit the floor,
But you don't have to stand for all that crap no more,
Hit me on my 2-Way put it on me now

Hit me up and let me know,
Whats the deal if maybe we can tell,
If you don't I'll hit you on the cell,
Holla at me later, honey you can feel it baby I can tell,
Later I'll be ringing on your bell.

If you don't I'll hit you on the cell,
Holla at me later, honey you can feel it baby I can tell,
Later I'll be ringing on your bell.

Baby matter was,
Happenin because of the hunnies in ma car
Here we're skinny dippin and we're eating caviar,
Chillin' by the pool, Shaggy smokin' a cigar,
Multi-platinum and counting, you have to be star,
To do it like we do it, like a genie in the jar,
Hit me on my pager, maybe later we can talk,
Naked by my crib we can hang by the bar,
My crib is on the mountain, Shaggy from afar,
Have hottie, hottie wit dem legs ajar
You got me ?, hot like a ?,
You wanna get involved well let me know where you are.

Put it on me girl

Hit me up and let me know,
Whats the deal if maybe we can tell,
If you don't I'll hit you on the cell,
Holla at me later, honey you can feel it baby I can tell,
Later I'll be ringing on your bell.

Hit me up and let me know,

Overall Meaning

The song "2 Way" by Shaggy & Rayvon is an upbeat, catchy tune about communication through technology, specifically the pager or "2-way" device. The lyrics explore the seductive, playful nature of using this form of communication to flirt and arrange a rendezvous. The singer is enthusiastic about the prospect of getting together with the woman he is addressing, and encourages her to contact him through his pager so that they can "get it on." He acknowledges that she is interested in him and tries to convince her to follow through on those feelings by contacting him. There is a sense of freedom and spontaneity in their interaction, as he describes skinny dipping and hanging out by the pool with other women.

The references to technology in the song are interesting because they are somewhat outdated now, given the prevalence of smartphones and other devices that have largely replaced pagers. However, in the mid-1990s, when this song was released, pagers were still used widely and were seen as a symbol of modernity and connectedness.

Some potential themes that underlie the song include desire, freedom, and the thrill of engaging in flirtatious behavior. The singer seems to revel in the idea of being wanted and desired by multiple women, and he encourages the woman he is addressing to take advantage of the freedom that technology has to offer in terms of arranging a spontaneous, exciting encounter. Overall, the song is a fun, lighthearted romp that captures the spirit of the era it was released in.

My house is located on a mountain, far away from where you are

Have hottie, hottie wit dem legs ajar
I have a very attractive woman with her legs slightly open

You got me feeling heated and aroused

You wanna get involved well let me know where you are.

The whole Big Yard crew came out for this one :) This when Big Yard was Big Yard!! (Shaggy, Rayvon, Rik Rok, Brian and Tony Gold). Still one of the best tunes to come out of the Big Yard camp. Big up unno selves and Robbie Livingstone.
