I was following a chat the other day and encountered the phrase "hab was für dich".
Hab seems to be an in the imperative form, but I would like to learn the meaning of it.

It literally means:
I have something for you
I doubt that there is a special meaning.
The "was" is colloquial (umgangssprachlich) for "etwas".
So the sentence is, in full, "Ich habe etwas für dich.", which means "I have something for you", as @5pike stated in their reply.
