Gimme the Light is the first single from Jamaican artist Sean Paul's 2002 album Dutty Rock. It was his first hit single, peaking at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100.
[edit] Song synopsis
The unedited version, as is the case with many Sean Paul releases, makes direct reference to smoking marijuana (in this case, passing along a cigarette lighter to release the marijuana fumes, referred to as "the 'dro" in the song's chorus). Paul is also out clubbing and checking out women for a possible nightcap. References to marijuana were removed from the song for the edited version.
A later remix was commissioned featuring Busta Rhymes. This version only featured one verse and the chorus from the original, replaced by new lyrics from Paul and Busta, also of Jamaican heritage.
