Window Shopper
50 Cent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The top feel so much better than the bottom
So much better
Nigga, you's a window shopper
Mad at me, I think I know why
Nigga, you's a window shopper
In the jewelry store lookin' at shit you can't buy
In the dealership tryin' to get a test drive
Nigga, you's a window shopper
Mad as fuck when you see me ride by
Summertime, white Porsche Carrera is milky
I'm on the grind, let my paper stack but I'm filthy
It's funny how niggas get to screw-facin' at me
Anyhow they ain't got the heart to get at me
I'll get down, Southside's the hood that I come from
So I don't cruise through nobody hood without my gun
They know the kid ain't gon' for all that bullshit
Try and stick me, I'ma let off a full clip
It ain't my fault you done fucked up your re-up
At the dice game, who told you put a G up?
Everybody mad when their paper don't stack right
But when I come around y'all niggas better act right
When we got the tops down, you can hear the systems thump
Nigga, when we rollin', rollin', rollin'
Shut your block down, quick to put a hole in a chump
Nigga, when we rollin', rollin', rollin'
Nigga, you's a window shopper
Mad at me, I think I know why
Nigga, you's a window shopper
In the jewelry store lookin' at shit you can't buy
Nigga, you's a window shopper
In the dealership tryin' to get a test drive
Nigga, you's a window shopper
Mad as fuck when you see me ride by
Niggas love me in L.A. as soon as I pop in
They come to scoop me up at LAX and I hop in
Now when it comes to bad bitches you know I got them
Some from Long Beach, some from Watts and from Compton
You know a nigga wanna see how Cali girls freak off
After that five hour flight from New York
I start spittin' G at a bitch like a pimp, mane
Tell her, "Meet me at the Mondrian so we can do our thang"
She can bring the lingerie with her, I suppose
Then we can go from fully dressed to just havin' no clothes
Then she can run and tell her best friend 'bout my sex game
Then her best friend could potentially be next, mane
Listen mane, shit changed, I came up, I'm doin' my thang
Homie, I'm holdin', holdin', holdin'
Oh shit, mane, the store owner watchin' you
Before somethin' get stolen, stolen, stolen
Nigga, you's a window shopper
Mad at me, I think I know why
Nigga, you's a window shopper
In the jewelry store lookin' at shit you can't buy
Nigga, you's a window shopper
In the dealership tryin' to get a test drive
Nigga, you's a window shopper
Mad as fuck when you see me ride by
50 Cent's "Window Shopper" is a braggadocious song in which the rapper addresses those who spend their days looking at material items they can't afford. The song starts with 50 Cent stating that the top is so much better than the bottom, suggesting he has achieved success and is living the high life. He then goes on to call out those who are envious of him, labelling them as "window shoppers." These are people who go into stores to look at items they can't afford or try to get test drives of cars they have no intention of buying. The rapper asserts that while he may have money, individuals like these are not truly living their lives to the fullest and are bitter when they see him living out his dreams.
Throughout the song, 50 Cent brags about the cars he drives, the women he dates, and the success he has achieved in the music industry. He is proud of his status as a wealthy person, and the song features several references to his "paper stack." He mentions how fans love him in Los Angeles when he arrives at LAX and that he dates women from various parts of California, and his charm and flashy lifestyle have made him irresistibly attractive to women. He hints at a promiscuous lifestyle, suggesting he moves fast and is not shy about his sexual prowess.
