GIMME A HUG Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, Drake elimination, fake intimidation
Take a minute, take a deep breath, have a little bit of patience
“Drizzy, you amazin’, you the inspiration
You set the bar for the next generation”
You Neo in the matrix, these niggas just Nemo in the ocean
Small fish, making kids feel emotion
Using you for promotion, truer words had never been spoken
Niggas want to see RIP me on a t-shirt like I’m Hulk Hogan
I appreciate the fans rocking with me, this is really just a small token
Really fuckin’ with a visionary
Only reason I ain’t got a girl and I ain’t gettin’ married
‘Cause I’m really out here, filling up the itinerary ’til I’m six feet in a cemetery
Bulletproof doors so heavy, got me rollin’ ’round like a dignitary
Funny how it’s only bitch niggas that are waiting on the boy’s obituary
‘Cause if I die, it’s these niggas that become the sole beneficiary
And what the fuck are they gon’ do with it?
Had the girls up at 29 on stage twerkin’ with a dictionary
Guilt trips, not Turks trips when it’s cold out here in February
‘Cause right now, shorty parachuting molly like she flying for the military
This girl face so pretty, I can only think of fuckin’ missionary
[Verse 2]
Fuck that, make the beat switch, turn the hoes up, give a million to ’em
Right now, I got so many villas booked on like I’m billing to ’em
Durk’s boy told me Marvin’s Room was his favorite song, he was drilling to it
Thousand niggas rappin’ murder shit and like ten niggas that’ll really do it
Savage, you the only nigga checkin’ on me when we really in some shit, brother
Melyssa Ford, you a legend from the 6ix, hate to see you with a dick-sucker
Shit about to be a lit summer, tell Tony leave the motor runnin’
Tell Mike that the ceiling’s too low in Booby, how we supposed to throw a hundred?
Damn
They be droppin’ shit, but we be droppin’ harder shit (Droppin’ harder shit)
Fuck a rap beef, I’m tryna get the party lit
Tryna get the party lit for the bitches
Them Nike tights is huggin’ on that ass like they missed it
What’s up?
Niggas is hating the boy for sure, the women in love
Walk in the strip club, damn, I missed you hoes, give me a hug
Give me a hug, give me a hug, give me a hug, give me a hug
[Verse 3]
Yeah, I know that you work in the club
Know that these people might judge
But fuck it, you family to us
So come over here and give me some love
Yeah, give me a hug
I miss you hoes, give me a hug
Give me a hug, give me a hug
What can I say? I miss you girls, I’m stuck in my ways
Princess, Gigi, Pooh, Pink, Luxury, y’all gotta come to the stage
Yeah, come to the stage and show me some love
You know how I’m comin’, I’m giving it up
The niggas in here ain’t spendin’ enough
[Outro]
Bae, I miss you
I’m talkin’ to you, baby, I miss you
You, you, you, you, you
Yeah
GIMME A HUG Meaning
[Verse 1]
Drake begins with a reflective tone, addressing his dominance in the industry and the expectations placed upon him. He acknowledges how younger artists look up to him while also using his name for their own gain. The contrast between admiration and rivalry is a recurring theme, as he calls out those who wish for his downfall. The verse also highlights his relentless work ethic, emphasizing that his commitment to his craft leaves little room for settling down. The imagery of bulletproof doors and heavy security underscores the reality of his fame—where success and danger coexist.
[Verse 2]
As the beat switches, Drake shifts to a more energetic delivery, blending flexes with personal insights. He references rap beefs, industry politics, and the superficiality of certain relationships. There’s a clear emphasis on loyalty, with a nod to 21 Savage as one of the few people who truly checks in on him. Despite his dominance in the rap game, Drake dismisses unnecessary conflicts, choosing instead to focus on maintaining his status and enjoying the spoils of his success. The verse also incorporates a sense of playful nostalgia, particularly in the closing lines where he revels in the strip club scene, reinforcing the song’s duality between self-reflection and indulgence.
[Verse 3]
Here, Drake embraces a more sentimental perspective, addressing women in the club with familiarity and warmth. Instead of judgment, he expresses appreciation, treating them like family. This moment of connection contrasts with the earlier themes of isolation and industry pressures, showcasing a softer, more nostalgic side. By name-dropping dancers and inviting them to the stage, he reinforces the idea that his success has not distanced him from the people and experiences that shaped him.
[Outro]
The outro closes the track on an intimate note, as Drake directly addresses someone he misses. The repetition of “you” creates a personal and longing tone, suggesting that beneath the bravado, there’s an underlying desire for genuine connection. The outro serves as a fitting conclusion to the song’s overall message—while success brings power and influence, it also comes with a sense of detachment, making moments of real connection all the more significant.
