Give me a piece of that, I want to try it.

A Chicano and Mexican expression for doing something with full effort and no holding back. "Con ganas" is the opposite of half-assing it. Whether you are playing soccer, dancing, or studying, going at it "con ganas" means bringing everything you have. In the barrio it works as both a command and a compliment.
