Give It Up
Shakira Ft. Lil Wayne And Timbaland Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How you doin' I'm Mr. Mos I'm back
Timb are you on it
Timb are you on it
Give me some
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
Oh
Um Wayne's World
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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Shakira's song "Give It Up to Me" featuring Lil Wayne are about a man (presumably Lil Wayne) trying to impress a woman (Shakira) by showering her with gifts and attention. He talks about his own confidence and power while also complimenting Shakira and telling her that she can have anything she wants. The chorus emphasizes that anything is possible and everything is within reach if you believe it and make it yours. The lyrics also touch on the idea of taking risks and being bold to get what you want.


Overall, the song is about chasing your dreams and desires and not being afraid to take chances. The use of metaphors like "swinging hips like nun chucks" and "flow's a dog, down boy" make the song more playful and fun, while also showcasing Lil Wayne's rap skills. The repeated phrase "Give it up to me" serves as a call to action and encourages the listener to go after what they want.

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.
