About She Came To Give It To You

"She Came to Give It to You" is a song by American recording artist Usher, featuring American recording artist Nicki Minaj and uncredited vocals from Pharrell Williams. It was released on July 8, 2014, through RCA Records. RCA Records sent the song to US rhythmic contemporary and contemporary hit radio on July 14, 2014.

Said it ain’t what you do 'cause
(Everybody knows what's up 'cause everybody wanna get next to me)
So if you knew what I do, she’ll be yours tonight
Imagine she came here to get away
Well she don’t want nobody crowding her space
Wouldn’t that be weird? Aw yeah
She was up tonight to get down
But she don’t wanna be a part of the crowd
Wouldn’t that be weird? Aw yeah

So confused, if you only knew she came to give it to you

It ain't what you do, its what you do tonight
And there ain’t no shortcut to doing something right
If you knew what I knew, she’ll be yours tonight
Just look around the club 'cause you're here to have a good time

So many benefits to being quiet, just be cool enjoy the ride
'Cause all you really wanna do is, wouldn’t that be weird? Yeah
Don’t be stingy with it pass the J, let her hit it if it's heading her way
My nigga that’s weird (You don't let her hit it)

I'm so confused, if you only knew she came to give it to you

It ain't what you do, its what you do tonight
And there ain’t no shortcut to doing something right
If you knew what I knew, she’ll be yours tonight
Just look around the club 'cause you're here to have a good time

I'm so confused, if you only knew she came to give it to you

Yo, he want the flirty girl, I'm the girly girl
You know who, get the worm is the early bird
Flow, slicker than MJ, early curl
I got to clip these niggas like Sterly Sterl
I seen him in the club he could get the cub
I ain't talking about baseball but go get the glove
Don't be like OJ and forget your glove
I'm tryna get faded, nigga go and get the drugs
Five plus five what they call that? Ten
Out in Japan we be counting that, Yen
Ladies who you trying popping with? Men
No little boys in the circle of Usher
Got'em under pressure
When your girl come through, Nicki gone crush her
And tell your man play the back like a spine
He only last six seconds like a Vine

I'm so confused, if you only knew she came to give it to you

It ain't what you do, its what you do tonight
And there ain’t no shortcut to doing something right
If you knew what I knew, she’ll be yours tonight
Just look around the club 'cause you're here to have a good time

I am Nicki M and he is Usher
All these niggas be tryna cuff her
What you know about that Swiffer duster
Until next time you motherfucker
