Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey, one time
One time
Throw your hands to the sky tonight
'Cause I think I see the baddest lil' thing in the World right now
But I gotta make sure I'm right
And, girl, you damn right, if your head right
I'll be there every night
'Cause, baby
You got it (you got it)
You got it (you got it)
You got it (you got it)
You got it (you got it)
Hey Cole World, real cold World
I watch it hit the floor and watch it drop it real low girl
Last time I seen ya, you was a lil old girl
I had a crush now we grown and we still so thorough
Clap for her, work it till you exhausted
I swear nothing worse than a bad bitch that lost it
Brains off the chain, smart mouth with a dumb ass
God damn your ex man is a dumb ass
When you was leaving, did he put up a fight?
Was he stressin' you, wasn't fucking you right
Well one man's trash is another man's treasure
One man's pain is another man's pleasure
One damn thing you can't change is the weather
But even if it rain, we get rained on together
It's whatever, you shine, I shine,
I know you got a 9-5 I'll be your 5-9!
Hey, one time
Hey, one time
One time
Throw your hands to the sky tonight
'Cause I think I see the baddest lil' thing in the World right now
But I gotta make sure I'm right
And, girl, you damn right, if your head right
I'll be there every night
I just might change your life
'Cause, baby
You got it (you got it)
You got it (you got it)
You got it (you got it)
You got it (you got it)
Yeah, go ahead and pop it like you do in the mirror
I'm picking through the cloud tryna see a little clearer
High heel wearer, hell of a body
First one to spot ya and I ain't telling nobody
Nope, I'm peaking at your ass, winking at your ass
If I don't beg I'll be thinking bout your ass
For the whole week no time for cold feet
She too bad to pass, so fine I don't speak
I tell her my name Jermaine, I'm tryna be lowkey
She tell me I go that flame, your rhymes are so deep
Man, girl thank you, shit you so bad know your daddy
Wish he could still spank you
Hold up for these other niggas roll up and try and get ya
The ones that say they riders but never do ride with ya
I'm tryna vibe with ya so wont you throw me your phone number
And let them lames get ya old number
Hey, one time
Hey, one time
One time
Throw your hands to the sky tonight
'Cause I think I see the baddest lil' thing in the World right now
But I gotta make sure I'm right
And, girl, you damn right, if your head right
I'll be there every night
I just might change your life
'Cause, baby
You got it (you got it)
You got it (you got it)
You got it (you got it)

Roc Nation, Wale
Look, Cole World, still a cold world
And a couple ya is cool but we a little more thorough
Whole town, a little more girls
You know I spit that sick shit and there's still no cure
Hold up, low packs like I got cancer
Choking on them white boys make a black panther
Love my women with high heels and high standards
And only cheat on my broad if I run out of answers
I got that vicious flow, Moncler winter coat
I ain't superstitious I make all these broads flip my pole
You dig it, this shit ain't for beginners
I'm something like a fetus, I'm not quite kiddin'
And there's something you ain't seeing like I block your vision
Like my Remy with no juice, you a lot like Bishop
Hundred k in 22 hours
See money talks, you muthafuckers is Boomhower
No check back, in debt yep
Loud in my J, I smoking (?)
Higher than I need to be
Flyer cause I need to be
Love our conversation but it's late right now, I need a beat
One time for the Ville that Cole rep
Another time for the city of slow death
I dont understand why these niggas so vexed
I dont need no chains with no cross to know that I'm blessed
Hey, one time
Hey, one time
One time
Throw your hands to the sky tonight
'Cause I think I see the baddest lil' thing in the World right now
But I gotta make sure I'm right
And, girl, you damn right, if your head right
I'll be there every night
I just might change your life
'Cause, baby
You got it (you got it)
You got it (you got it)
You got it (you got it)
You got it (you got it)
The song 'You Got It' by Wale ft J. Cole is a beautiful love song that talks about the deep emotions and feelings that the artist has for his love interest. The song lyrics explore the comparisons between love and materialistic things like shoes and honey, and the importance of love in someone's life.
The lyrics of the first verse describe the strong feelings that the singer has for his lover. He compares her with a pair of shoes that he missed buying in the store and wishes he'd bought her instead. He expresses his love saying that he wants her more than anything and no other man has ever had the effect on him that she has. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I only wanna give it to you," which means he wants to give his love to her and be with her all the time.
In the second verse, the artist talks about how classic his lover is and how much he wants her as compared to the digital world. He thinks the bees are getting at her because her honey is sweeter, which means lots of people like her. The chorus repeats itself again, emphasizing how much the singer wants to give his love to his lover.
The final verse is sung by J. Cole, where he talks about how he wants to settle down with his lover and make a family with her. He mentions how the rumors about his past relationships are true, but he wants to leave that behind and start anew with the woman he loves. He ends the verse by saying that he only wants her and hopes that she feels the same way too.
Overall, the song's lyrics are a beautiful representation of the depth of love and emotions that a person feels for someone they love. It's a testament to the power of genuine love in someone's life and how it can change everything when it's reciprocated.
Line by Line Meaning
Thought that you were just another Romeo
At first, I thought you were like all the other guys who try to pursue me
The shoe you pass by in the store window
You seemed like a nice-to-have, but not a must-have
But soon as I got home I wish I bought you instead
But as soon as I got to know you, I realized how badly I want you in my life
I got it bad, I'll take the black, take the navy and red
I am so infatuated with you that I'll take you in any color, any form
No other man has ever, ever had quite this effect
No other man has ever made me feel this way - so obsessively in love
I sleep alone cause there's no room in my bed
I can't share my bed with anyone else because I'm so consumed by thoughts of you
For any other lover, with no gun to my head
I'm not being forced to be faithful to you - I choose to be
Your kisses hold me hostage
I am incredibly addicted to the way you kiss me
And I don't wanna stop it
I don't want this feeling to end
'Cause I only wanna give it to you
All my love and attention is reserved just for you
And I want you more than a new pair of shoes
My desire for you is greater than my desire for anything else
I came before this digital ocean
Before the rise of technology and social media, my love for you existed
Where folks only move in digital motion
Nowadays, everyone communicates digitally, but I want a more traditional relationship with you
But you're so classic I want you more than my Adidas
Your timeless and classic nature is more attractive to me than even my favorite shoes
All the bees are getting at you cause your honey is sweeter
Other men are attracted to you, but I believe that there's something special about you that sets you apart
Can't let this go, what can I say?
I can't let go of this feeling I have for you, no matter how hard I try
I just don't know, my love ain't no trip for the weekend,
I don't know how to explain it, but my love for you is more than just a temporary fling
Here to stay for all of the seasons!
I'm committed to you for the long haul, through every season of life
You're the weakness that I can't control!
You have a powerful effect over me that I can't resist
Baby you all I need to get by
You are the only person I need in my life in order to be happy
You fly, so you're all I need to get high
Just being around you fills me with joy and excitement
You got it? So put ya number in this camera phone
If you feel the same way about me, let me have your number so we can start a relationship
And we can live like the camera's on
Our love will be so intense and passionate that it will feel like we're always in the spotlight
No strip, though these boys claiming they ball
We won't need to show off or impress anyone else - we'll have each other
Got no grip, though
Even though I may not have everything figured out, I know that I want to be with you
My flow switchmode, it's so schizo
My emotions are all over the place when it comes to you
So I'm the one that your girl blow a kiss for
Even other women can sense how much I want to be with you
You've got to love me, Cole World, no snuggy
I'm confident that if you give me a chance, you'll love me as much as I love you
Baddest girls hug me, my mind on you though
Even when other attractive women are throwing themselves at me, I only have eyes for you
You're hoping I'm the one
I know that you feel a connection with me and hope that we can be together
But I already knew though
I've known for a while that we were meant to be together
It ain't no secret that I get around, true
I've had my fair share of flings and one-night stands, but my feelings for you are different
But girl, you make me want to settle down, with you
You've inspired me to want to have a committed, long-term relationship with you
Get a crib with a view, lay up in the bed make a kid, maybe 2
I want to build a life with you - a nice house, a family, and a future together
All my ex-girlfriends gon' have to get a clue
I want to make it clear to all my past lovers that I'm with you now and I'm not looking back
'Cause the rumors that you heard about is true!
Everything you've heard about my love for you is absolutely true
I said I only wanna give it to you
I want to give you all of my love and attention
And I sure do hope that you feel like I do
I hope that you feel the same way about me as I feel about you
I I I I I only wanna give it to you
My heart and my love belong only to you

Damn, girl thank you, shit, you so bad

Roc Nation, Wale, haha
[Verse 3: Wale]
Look, Cole World, still a cold world
And a couple y'all is cool but we a little more thorough, huh
Whole time, a little more girls
You know I spit that sick shit and thereβs still no cure
Hold up, loud packs like I got cancer
Choking on them white boys make a Black Panther
Love my women with high heels and high standards
And only cheat on my broad if I run out of answers
I got that vicious flow, Moncler winter coat
I ain't superstitious, I make all these broads split my pole
Ha, you dig it, this shit ain't for beginners
Iβm something like a fetus, see, I'm not quite kidding
And there's something you ain't seeing like I block y'all vision
Like my Remy with no juice, you a lot like Bishop
Hundred K in twenty-two hours
See, money talks, you muthafuckers is Boomhauer
No check back, in debt, yep
Loud in my J, y'all smoke that Gallaudet
Higher than I need to be, flyer 'cause I need to be
Love our conversation but itβs late right now, I need to beat, haha
One time for the Ville that Cole rep
Another time for the city of the slow death
I don't understand why these niggas so vexed
I don't need no chains with no cross to know Iβm blessed
Hold up!
[Hook: J. Cole]
Ay, one time (One time) one time (One time)
Ay, throw your hands to the sky tonight
'Cause I think I see the baddest little thing in the world right now
But I gotta make sure Iβm right, and girl you dead right

I love to come back to the music that meant a lot to me and it makes sense and its incredible how it can transmit the feeling and message even tho we speak different languages?? Now I can catch basically the whole lyrics. S/O from Mexico
