Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Timb are you on it
Timb are you on it
Give me some
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
Oh
I'm the cashier I change girls
You can go up my crane girl
And I'm a go down that drain girl
Hey ah midnight cowboy
My flow's a dog, down boy
Ha ha my girl is a queen
And she do what I say and I say what I mean (now)
Then I give it to her uncut
Shakira, swing those hips like nun chucks
Now, give it to me
I want the best and the best things in life are free
You can have it all
Anything you want you can make it yours
Anything you want in the world
Anything you want in the world
Give it up to me
Nothing too big or small
Anything you want you can make it yours
Anything you want in the world
Anything you want in the world
Give it up to me
What you get is exactly what you give
Never really know until you try
We're so ahead of this
Got this she wolf appetite that keeps me up all night
You know the way it works don't be afraid to ask
Aim high when the target is low
F-Y-I I am ready to go
People say men are just like kids
Never saw a kid behave like this
What you give is exactly what you receive
So put me in a cage and lock me away
And I'll play the games that you want me to play
You can have it all
Anything you want you can make it yours
Anything you want in the world
Anything you want in the world
Give it up to me
Nothing too big or small
Anything you want you can make it yours
Anything you want in the world
Anything you want in the world
Give it up to me
Hey can we go by walking
Or do you prefer to fly
All of the roads are open
In your life
In your life
Give it up to me
Hey can we go by walking
Or do you prefer to fly
All of the roads are open
In your life
In your life
Give it up to me
Hey lil' lady
What's your plan?
Say lil' mama
Come take a ride jump in
Hey there baby
What's on your mind
Don't need approval tonight, tonight
Give it up
You can have it all
Anything you want you can make it yours
Anything you want in the world
Anything you want in the world
Give it up to me
Nothing too big or small
Anything you want you can make it yours
Anything you want in the world
Anything you want in the world
Give it up to me
You can have it all
Anything you want you can make it yours
Anything you want in the world
Anything you want in the world
Give it up to me
Nothing too big or small
Anything you want you can make it yours
Anything you want in the world
Anything you want in the world
Give it up to me
The lyrics of Shakira's "Give It Up to Me" featuring Lil Wayne and Timbaland are all about going for what you want in life and making the most of opportunities. The song starts with Mos, Mr. Mos (likely a reference to Timbaland's real name, Timothy Mosley) introducing himself before Lil Wayne takes over with his characteristic rapping style. Lil Wayne talks about how he's the cashier, and he can have any girl he wants, and he wants her to come up on his crane and go down the drain. He references Midnight Cowboy, a classic film about a naive young man who moves to New York City in the hopes of becoming a hustler.
Shakira's part comes in with "Hey-ah," and she talks about how she has an appetite like she is a she-wolf. She wants to try everything and is never afraid to ask. The song talks about how you get what you give, and if you aim high, even if your target is low, you can still reach all your goals. The chorus is all about giving it up to her and her wanting everything in the world. The song also talks about not needing approval and being ready to go for things without hesitating.
Overall, the song is a vibrant celebration of life and a call to action, urging listeners to reach for the stars and make the most of what they have. It is a catchy and upbeat song with a unique blend of rap and pop, making it a popular hit among Shakira's fans.

recuerden…
#Shakira es una artista desde la era de los cassettes, vendió millones de discos y aquí sigue dándolo todo en la era del streaming.
Shakira está vigente desde los años 90 ya le compitió a artistas grandes en sus tiempos como Fey, Alejandra Guzmán, Paulina Rubio y Thalía.
La rompió en los 2000 y 2010 de la mano de artistas internacionales como Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Britney, Pink, Beyoncé y más tarde Lady Gaga, Rihanna o Katy Perry.
Hoy en día la siguen comparando con las nuevas generaciones, como con Camila Cabello, Karol G o Dua Lipa.
Ella ya hizo de todo y aunque lleguen nuevas figuras femeninas, no hay que olvidar que Shakira sólo hay una y siempre ha estado presente. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Eterna Reina Latina. Nación Shakira.
