Lyrics
Mike WiLL Made-It
Somebody come to the floor
It feels like we’ve met before (Ear Drummers)
Somebody come get her, she’s dancin’ like a stripper (right away)
Somebody come get her, she’s dancin’ like a stripper (right away)
Somebody come tip her, she’s dancin’ like a stripper (right away)
Somebody come get her, she’s feelin’ all the liquor (right away)
Chopped and screwed up
I’m a pothead, true enough (yup)
At your ex crib and you’re boo’d up (up)
Take it slow, baby, we in no rush
Hennessy or Don Q? That’s a very hard choice
For the diamonds on my pinky, need a gang of cool points
And the drop head make ’em drop dead, yeah (ayy)
You ain’t scared, you ain’t scared, you ain’t scared, yeah
Believe me, I’m outchea, you see me, in action
I’ve heard a lot, a lot about you
Passin’ ’round blunts like a hot potato (whoa)
And you dancin’ on the table, gushin’ like volcano (go, go, go)
Somebody come get her, she’s dancin’ like a stripper
Somebody come get her, she’s dancin’ like a stripper
Somebody come tip her, she’s dancin’ like a stripper (yeah, Slim Jxmmi)
Somebody come get her, she’s feelin’ all the liquor (yeah)
You got girls in here? I’m recruitin’ (I’m recruitin’)
And they fine, hop the line (hop the line)
I’ve been sippin’ on Patron and wine (hey, buss it)
I’m just tryna have a good fuckin’ time
I was chillin’ with the open container (container)
Grabbed her arm, told her not to be a stranger
I was blowin’ on the dank with my niggas
I was lookin’ for the girls who willin’ (whoa-whoa)
Baby girl, if you fuckin’ with me, then we gettin’ bands (big bands)
If you smokin’ with me, then we on dabs (good gas)
I don’t fuck with local hoes, I told you that
How you movin’, you deserve a couple racks
Somebody come get her (shit, shit), she’s dancin’ like a stripper
(Hey, ayy, ayy, ayy, you better get your girl outta here, man)
Somebody come get her, she’s dancin’ like a stripper (I thought she just wanted a picture, ayy)
Somebody come tip her (don’t try me like no lil’ nigga now), she’s dancin’ like a stripper
Somebody come get her, she’s feelin’ all the liquor (SremmLife)
Hunnids on your face, baby girl
Come and do that little thing that you was doin’
Ayy, they was in this mothafucka trippin’
What the hell they think we was doin’?
It seems like we fuckin’ in this club
Baby girl, what they think that wedoin’?
You gettin’ on my nerves with them questions
Girl, you know I’m tryna start a little movement
I ain’t got no business fuckin’ with you
Out the blue, you actin’ brand new
Washingtons mean nothing to you
Same way with us
Somebody come get her, she’s dancin’ like a stripper
Somebody come get her, she’s dancin’ like a stripper
Somebody come tip her, she’s dancin’ like a stripper
Somebody come get her, she’s feelin’ all the liquor
At first listen, Rae Sremmurd’s ‘Come Get Her’ might seem like just another club banger, a soundtrack to a night out imbued with the scent of Hennessy and the flash of strobe lights. But beneath the surface of its catchy hooks and hypnotic beats lies a nuanced portrait of contemporary youth culture, hedonism, and the complex dialogues within the party scene.
Rae Sremmurd—a duo of brothers swae lee andSlim Jxmmi—deliver their lyrics with a mix of playful bravado and an incisive commentary on social behaviors. ‘Come Get Her’ serves as an inadvertent case study on the nightlife etiquette, the role of women in party spaces, and the dichotomy between self-indulgence and self-awareness.
The Microcosm of Nightlife’s Ecosystem
Through incessant chants of ‘Somebody come get her,’ Rae Sremmurd create a microcosm of the club setting. The repetition of these simple lines doesn’t merely evoke a scene; they’re putting forth a pseudo-cry for intervention, reflecting on how women are perceived when uninhibited. It’s an auditory snapshot of a moment where revelry meets judgement, where carefree dancing toe the line between personal expression and public spectacle.
This isn’t just about a night out; it’s about the gendered expectations that surface in these spaces. The reference to dancing ‘like a stripper’ treads on objectification while also possibly empowering the subject, who is unapologetically embracing her sexuality.
Unveiling the Altered States of Consciousness
Rae Sremmurd doesn’t shy away from highlighting the role of substances in social lubrication. Narratives on ‘feelin’ all the liquor’ and sharing ‘Hennessy or Don Q’ illuminate the altered states that often accompany the party lifestyle. But it’s not about glamorizing substance use; it’s about presenting it as a fact of the scene, an enhancer of experiences and a complicator of interactions.
Their candid approach unpacks the dynamics of escapism and pleasure-seeking, bringing to center stage the reality of how these substances can lower inhibitions, change behaviors, and affect how party-goers interact with one another.
Cash, Strippers, and the Misunderstood Art of Patronage
When the chorus drops a less-expected line—’Somebody come tip her’—the song broadens its scope to include a culture of commodification and financial transactions that is native to clubs. What might first seem like a callous commoditization of the dancer’s act, can also be viewed through the lens of patronage and appreciation for the performer’s craft.
In shedding light on this aspect of nightlife, Rae Sremmurd could be interpreted as subverting the stigma around striptease with reverence for the art and the artist, prompting listeners to reconsider prejudices and embrace the myriad of professions within the nightlife milieu.
Decoding The Uptempo Anthem of Intoxication
The insistent rhythm of ‘Come Get Her’ brings to life the intense energy of a night out, but there’s a subtler narrative at play. The song’s driving beats and vivacious lyrics serve as a conduit for the story of youthful desire and the magnetic pull of the night. It’s not just about literal intoxication, but the metaphorical inebriation with life and freedom that the night promises.
Rae Sremmurd here also potentially deconstructs the trope of the intoxicated club-goer. In acknowledging ‘she’s feelin’ all the liquor,’ there’s a glimmer of concern amidst the revelry, a question mark over the line between enjoyment and excess that speaks to the duo’s depth as lyrical storytellers.
Not Just Phrases: The Lines That Define A Generation
Laced with memorable one-liners such as ‘I don’t fuck with local hoes, I told you that’ and ‘You got girls in here? I’m recruitin’,’ Rae Sremmurd isn’t just espousing catchy phrases; they’re capturing the ethos and lingo of a generation whose social interactions are often transient and marked by immediacy.
‘Come Get Her’ can be perceived not only as a reflection on immediate gratification but also as a deeper introspective query into the transient relationships and connections that define modern-night parties and, by extension, the human experience in today’s hyper-connected world.
