Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A minute or so
I'm like a drug dealer
Come and get it then go
Get it get it girl get it on the floor
I got that good what I give ya going go
Whether you rhyme slow or the beat fast
I beat the breaks off the beat pad
Chat up your lookin' off your knee pad
VA Beach the best that I could be reached at
Want a number one hit?
Bring your pen and your weed stash
Quick flipping up Sexy Back
Top of the charts nigga that's where we at
Where ya at? Boost mobile, I'm Nextel
You wear a shirt, my records sell yes sir
My records sell, yes sir
We running that show all around the globe
But you ain't gotta act like you know
We give it to ya
It's just that every word that comes outta your mouth
Some old bitch that we did before
We give it to ya
Now I don't know if you was trying to check
But did you check us at the top of the game?
It's us, not you, get used to it girl
Cause that shit just ain't gonna change
Shit is funny to me Timbo!
If anybody got a problem with me, y'all come get me
I ain't hiding, y'all ain't riding
I ain't got a problem in the world nigga, thorough nigga
Represent the borough nigga, B.K. all day
Man up girl nigga, I don't give a fuck
Buck buck, die nigga, you ain't my nigga
Still dreaming up ways to help you niggas die quicker
Ha-ha, laughing all the way to the top
Two hundred mill in cash, thirty-five mill in stock
I diddy bop like Diddy back when Biggie cock-eyes
Hypnotized the masses behind Versace glasses
Coogi sweaters, Pelle leathers
I been doing this for forever, so whatever
However, wherever, whenever
Why ever I back down never (I'll never)
Actions speak louder than words
You ain't heard it from me I'm a motherfucking verb
We running that show all around the globe
But you ain't gotta act like you know
We give it to ya
It's just that every word that comes outta your mouth
Some old bitch that we did before
We give it to ya
Now I don't know if you was trying to check
But did you check us at the top of the game?
It's us, not you, get used to it girl
Cause that shit just ain't gonna change
In Timbaland’s song “Give It To Me,” featuring Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake, the lyrics declare the artists’ success and their intention to keep pushing forward. The first verse by Timbaland talks about how he has what people want, but they have to act quickly to get it. He compares himself to a drug dealer, creating a sense of addictive desire in the listener. The verse also mentions how great of a producer he is, able to create hits no matter the tempo or style of music. He also name-drops his hometown of Virginia Beach, telling people to come to him if they want to make a number one hit.
The chorus of the song reminds listeners that Timbaland and his crew are on top of the game and have been for a while. They give their music to listeners freely but are also aware that some people criticize them for being repetitive or unoriginal. The final verse by Timberlake is more of a bragging verse, where he talks about how he has made a lot of money in the music industry and how he is not afraid to speak his mind. He also makes a reference to the late Notorious B.I.G. and how he walks in his footsteps with confidence.
Overall, the song is a celebration of the artists’ successes and their determination to keep making hit music, no matter who tries to criticize them.
