Timbaland Ft. Justin & Jay-Z Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's go (Hov')
Uh-huh, Hov'
You are not ready (Hov')
Unstoppable (Dynasty)
Young Hova

I'm a hustler baby (Hov', I'm a hustler)
I just want you to know (Hov', I wanna let you know)
It ain't where I been (it ain't where I been, Hov')
But where I'm 'bout to go (top of the world, Young Hova, holla)
Now I just wanna love ya (just wanna love you, Hov')
But be who I am (you know you love me, Hov')
And with all this cash (mo' money, mo' problems)
You'll forget your man

Now give it to me
Gimme that funk, that sweet, that nasty, that gushy stuff
But don't bullshit me
C'mon, gimme that funk, that sweet, that nasty, that gushy stuff

Uh, yeah (oh), yeah
When the Remy's in the system, ain't no tellin'
Will I fuck 'em? Will I diss 'em? That's what they be yellin'
I'm a pimp by blood, not relation
Y'all be chasin', I replace them, huh?
Drunk off Cris', mami on E
Can't keep her little model hands off me
Both in the club, high
Singing off key, "And I wish I never met her at all"
It gets better, ordered another round
It's about to go down
Got six model chicks, six bottles of Cris'
Four Belvederes, got weed everywhere
What do you say, me, you, and your Chloe glasses (uh-huh)
Go somewhere private where we can discuss fashion?
Like, Prada blouse, Gucci bra (okay)
Filth Mart jeans, take that off

Give it to me
Gimme that funk, that sweet, that nasty, that gushy stuff
But don't bullshit me
C'mon, gimme that funk, that sweet, that nasty, that gushy stuff
Said give it to me
Gimme that funk, that sweet, that nasty, that gushy stuff
But don't bullshit me
Mama, gimme that funk, that sweet, that nasty, that gushy stuff

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, save the narrative, you saving it for marriage
Let's keep it real ma, you saving it for carats
You wanna see how far I'ma go
How, much I'ma spend but you already know
Zip, zero, stingy with dinero
Might buy you Cris', but that about it
Might light your wrist, but that about it
Fuck it, I might wife you and buy you nice whips
Ma, but you really gotta ride nice dick
Know how to work your hips and your head's priceless
Profess you love the Hov' and I'll never let you down
Get you bling like the Neptune sound
Okay, hot Hov', too hot to hold
Ladies love me long time like 2Pac's soul
Only way to roll, Jigga and two ladies
I'm too cold, Motorola, two-way page me (c'mon)

Give it to me
Gimme that funk, that sweet, that nasty, that gushy stuff
But don't bullshit me
C'mon, gimme that funk, that sweet, that nasty, that gushy stuff
Said give it to me
Gimme that funk, that sweet, that nasty, that gushy stuff
But don't bullshit me
Mama, gimme that funk, that sweet, that nasty, that gushy stuff

I'm a hustler, baby (uh, Hov')
I just want you to know (Hov')
It ain't where I been (Hov')
But where I'm bout to go (ho, ho)
Now I just wanna love ya (Young Hova)
But be who I am (know you love me)
And with all this cash (mo' money, mo' problems)
You'll forget your man

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Same song, I'm back, been around the world
Ro-mancin' girls that dance with girls
From, Club Cheetah to Club Amnesia
The Peanuts in L.A., bubblin' in Dublin
Can't deny me
Why would you want to? You need me
Why don't you try me?
Baby you want to, believe me (Hov')

Give it to me
Gimme that funk, that sweet, that nasty, that gushy stuff
But don't bullshit me
C'mon, gimme that funk, that sweet, that nasty, that gushy stuff
Give it to me
Gimme that funk, that sweet, that nasty, that gushy stuff
But don't bullshit me
Mama, gimme that funk, that sweet, that nasty, that gushy stuff
(You gotta) give it to me

Uh
That, that, that




Uh-huh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of “Give It 2 Me” by Timbaland featuring Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z is about money, women, and success. Jay-Z brings his usual bravado to the verses, boasting about his wealth and sexual conquests. He asserts his identity as a hustler, but also acknowledges that his past is less important than where he's going. He also encourages the women around him to give him the love, passion, and attention that he deserves. Meanwhile, Justin Timberlake takes care of the chorus, urging the listener to give him everything they have - their funk, sweetness, nastiness, and gushy stuff.


The use of alcohol runs throughout the song, with references to Cristal champagne and alcohol in general. In the first verse, Jay-Z mentions being "drunk off Crist'." In the second verse, there are "six bottles of Crist'" and "four Belvederes," indicating that they are having a good time at a high-end club with luxury alcohol. Additionally, Jay-Z often rhymes the word "Crist" with "diss," which implies that having alcohol in his system might cause him to act unpredictably with his romantic interests.


Overall, "Give It 2 Me" is a braggadocious song about the good life, and sexual conquests, but also emphasizes the importance of being true to oneself and celebrating success.

Man i cannot TELL YOU the trip down nostalgia lane this just took me on...
I watched this vid and it made me realize how fast time flies....
It seems like just yesterday this was one of the hot new tracks and vids...
Everyone was dressing like the poeple in this vid...(old heads...tell the truth...did yall EVER think baggy clothes would go out of style?)
This would play at the club and get things LITTY....then we would go to the after party at pitt universit or JMU and things would get LITTY again as this song played.
YOUNG PEOPLE...listen....when youre young you think your generations style and swag will last forever....then 20 years zips by and your music is sudenly called "classic rap".
Lil uzi..lil yahcty, migos, cardi b fans...one day young dudes are gonna be looking at your music and era and callin it " old school stuff" and sayin its boring
Lol
Such is life
