Hi everybody! I'm Italian and i really need ur help!! I really like English and usually I try 2 understand songs without reading lyrics but this time it's very hard 4 me 2 understand this: "Im'a"!! I heard it in some songs..e.g. "Im'a say your aura is.."by Rihanna "Im'a show you how to move" by Rihanna, "Im'a do this as a fuckin' hobby" by Eminem and so on! So i think it means "I want" but i'm not sure!
byeee!!

It is very difficult to learn English from pop songs, because they use a lot of slang.
"Im'a..." is short for "I'm gonna..." which is short for "I am going to..."
So Rihanna is saying "I am going to show you how to move" and Eminem is saying "I am going to do this as a hobby".

It's a mix of the words "I'm" and "a" to create "Im'a". It's very poor grammar and the person who created it should be shot. So, Im'a means I'm a ....or I'm going to.

if he says hes "falling for you" that must mean hes really starting to like you. If he makes you laugh, and smile, and just make you explode with butterflies then maybe your falling for him too. But basically that just means hes starting to realize maybe your that "someone" for him. If hes the type of person you can trust and you always belived him before, and you know he wouldnt lie about it, then ya. maybe hes telling the truth. And if you like him back you should see where things go from there(: My advice (if you like him) is to give him a shot. maybe hes the guy for you. if you dont like him, just explain to him your confused feelings in the nicest way. if he doesnt understand then maybe it just wasnt truely there from the start.

It's a very short form of "I'm going to"
