Gimme vs Lemme

All retorts and lessons of bad English aside,
this brush paints far and wide.
It's not just a generation that wants immediate everything.
It's an entire world.

Gimme the newest phone.
Gimme the newest computer.
Gimme the latest polls so I can follow the masses.
Gimme funds to do stuff.
Gimme opportunities to have things.
Gimme respect.

How about . . .
Lemme see if I can afford a phone and its plan.
Lemme make use of the computer that I have (that still works).
Lemme see which human would be best suited.
Lemme work to get paid.
Lemme create a path toward what I'd like to own.
Lemme show respect and earn it in return.

Who should win?
