Give It to Me (Timbaland song)
`` Give It to Me '' is an electro and hip hop song with club music sensibilities . It features a space - age sound that it built up of skeletal synths , percussion bass , low range horns , breathless drums , digitized keyboards . Andy Kellman of Allmusic describes it as a `` A leisurely club track full of swagger '' . David Hyland of WESH Orlando noted the song as `` a mellow , slinky club jam that meshes odd , polyrhythmic drumming , a `` Twilight Zone '' countermelody and digitized keyboard belches with vocals supplied by Furtado and Timberlake . '' It begins with a heavy tribal beat and accompanying synths . Nelly begins with rhymes about her change in appearance for her third studio album with the lines `` You love my ass and my abs and the video called ' Promiscuous ' / My style is meticulous - s-s-s '' . After the chorus , Timbaland raps about his successes as a producer and songwriter while making disparaging remarks towards an unnamed producer , most notable in the lines `` I get a half a mil ' for my beats , you get a couple gra - an - and / Never gon ' see the day that I ai n't got the upper hand / I 'm respected from Californ - I-A , way down to Japan '' and `` I 'm a real producer and you just a piano man / Your songs do n't top the charts , I heard ' em , I 'm not a fa - an - an '' . Timberlake follows after the second chorus with his verse , where he addresses a rival about his chart success with `` SexyBack '' , present in the lines , `` If sexy never left , then why 's everybody on my shi - i-i-t ? / Do n't hate on me just because you did n't come up with it '' .
