Timbaland Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ain't got no feelin'
I'm a let these niggas know
I been killin' 'em with these beats
Now I'm spittin' them killer flows
What ya know about me, dog?
Not a damn thing
Gotta problem? You can see me in the streets, dog
I'm a one man game
Don't take this lightly
If I want you dead and gone
I can make that happen because
Nigga, my bread is long
I done been on both sides of the tracks
You can say I trained the game
A lot of niggas tryin' to get in my lane
E'rybody askin' me the same ol' thing
What they say?

[Chorus x 2]
Oh, Timbaland
Where he gon' run to
Nowhere
Oh, Timbaland
Where he gon' run to
Nowhere
Oh, Timbaland
Where he gon' run to
Nowhere
Oh, Timbaland
Where he gon' run to
Nowhere

I ain't goin' nowhere, dog
I'm a be right here in ya face
Can't do it like me, dog
Your kick drum ain't got enough bass
Don't ever talk bad about me
You just might make me mad
And I just might see you somewhere
And break your ass in half

This not the Timbaland you used to
Now I'm in a whole 'nother zone
You can let me do me
You can do you
Or get popped in ya door
Hit love on the verge to the block
So recognize the game
Timbaland ain't gonna run nowhere, baby
Timbaland got private planes

[Chorus x 2]

I been around
Sometime long ago
I seen the life
Don't act like you ain't seen it before

I'm listenin', dog
You ain't sayin' shit
You can keep on wishin'
You never make a hit
Yeah, I got money
Take it all from me
I'm a gon' be the same
You can get a few whips
You can get a few chips
You still gon' be lame
We ain't the same, my nigga
I'm on some other shit
I'm a say this plain and simple
Nigga, take this punishment
I'm a take y'all on a trip
I'm a take y'all on a ride
And one day I'm gon' dip
But I won't be hard to find





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

In the song "The Way I Are" by Timbaland featuring Keri Hilson in the Vadim Bikkuzin Remix, Timbaland seems to be addressing his haters and naysayers who doubt him and his skills. He asserts his dominance in the music industry by claiming that he's been killing it with his beats and now he's spitting killer flows. He also declares that he's a one-man game and if anyone tries to bring him down, he can make them "dead and gone" because he's got money and power. Furthermore, Timbaland implies that he's evolved musically and is now in a whole different zone which his haters cannot comprehend. He urges them to let him do him and they can do themselves or get popped. He ends the song by saying that he's taking his audience on a trip and a ride, and he's not going to run anywhere because he won't be hard to find.
