Bonnie & Clyde
Beyoncé Jay Z Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, uh, uh
You ready, B?
Let's go get 'em

Look for me
Young, B, cruisin' down the Westside Highway
Doin' what we like to do, our way
Eyes behind shades
This necklace the reason all of my dates been blind dates
But today I got my thoroughest girl with me
I'm mashin' the gas, she's grabbin' the wheel, it's trippy
How hard she rides with me, the new Bobby and Whitney
Only time we don't speak is during "Sex and the City"
She gets Carrie fever, but soon as the show's over
She's right back to being my soldier
'Cause mami's a rider and I'm a roller
Put us together, how they gon' stop both us?
Whatever she lacks, I'm right over her shoulder
When I'm off track, mami is keepin' me focused
So let's lock this down like it's supposed to be
The '03 Bonnie and Clyde: Hov' and B, holla

All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my girlfriend)
Down to ride 'til the very end, is me and my boyfriend (me and my boyfriend) (that's right)
All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my girlfriend) (look for me)
Down to ride 'til the very end, is me and my boyfriend (me and my boyfriend)

The problem is, you dudes treat the one that you lovin'
With the same respect that you treat the one that you humpin'
That ain't 'bout nothin'
If ever you mad about somethin'
It won't be that, oh no, it won't be that
I don't be at places where we comfy at
With no beatch, oh no, you won't see that
And no, I ain't perfect
Nobody walkin' this earth's surface is
But, girlfriend, work with the kid
I keep you workin' that HermĂšs Birkin bag
Manolo Blahnik Timbs, Aviator lens
600 drops, Mercedes Benz
The only time you wear Burberry to swim
And I don't have to worry, only worry is him
She do anything necessary for him
And I do anything necessary for her
So don't let the necessary occur, yep

All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my girlfriend)
Down to ride 'til the very end, is me and my boyfriend (me and my boyfriend) (that's right)
All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my girlfriend) (look for me)
Down to ride 'til the very end, is me and my boyfriend (me and my boyfriend)

(Talk to 'em, B!) If I was your girlfriend
I'll be there for you, if somebody hurts you
Even if that somebody was me (that's right!)
Yeah-hee (break it down for 'em, B!)
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be
And so I put this on my life
Nobody or nothing will ever come between us
And I promise I'll give my life
My love and my trust if you was my boyfriend (one more time!)
It's on my life
The air that I breathe in, all that I believe in
I promise I'll give my life
My love and my trust if you was my boyfriend

All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my girlfriend)
Down to ride 'til the very end, is me and my boyfriend (me and my boyfriend) (that's right)




All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my girlfriend)
Down to ride 'til the very end, is me and my boyfriend (me and my boyfriend)

Overall Meaning

The song "03' Bonnie & Clyde" by Beyonce and Jay-Z is a love song about a couple who are deeply devoted to each other. The lyrics describe the two of them driving down the highway, with the singer reflecting on how he and his girlfriend do things their way, unafraid of what others think. Despite the fact that his dates have all been blind, he still wears a necklace that he knows will attract attention, but it doesn't matter because he has his girlfriend with him. She is his greatest supporter and they function perfectly together, the new Bobby and Whitney. The chorus, "All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my girlfriend) Down to ride 'til the very end, is me and my boyfriend (me and my boyfriend)" highlights their loyalty and commitment to each other.


The second verse, which is sung by Beyonce, is about how men treat the women they love no differently from the women they have casual affairs with. Beyonce points out that if a man ever gets mad about something, it wouldn't be the way she's treated. She wears expensive clothing and accessories, but that doesn't matter because she's still down-to-earth and works hard. The mention of HermĂšs Birkin bags, Manolo Blahniks, and Mercedes-Benz cars shows that they can afford luxurious items, but these don't define them. What matters most is their love for each other and the lengths that they would go to make sure the other is happy.


Overall, "03' Bonnie & Clyde" is a song about the strength of the bond between two people who are deeply in love. It is about the kind of love that is unbreakable through all trials and tribulations. The song's lyrics are a testament to the fact that in a world where everything is constantly changing, love is the one thing that remains constant.

Beyonce and Jay-Z are cruising down the Westside Highway, doing what they want their way. Beyonce hides behind her sunglasses, and her expensive necklace causes people outside of their relationship to be blind dates. Even so, Jay-Z is with his most loyal woman and he's proud of how well she handles riding with him. They're like the new Bobby and Whitney. They only don't communicate during the TV show 'Sex and the City', and once it's done, she's ready to be his partner again. Beyonce is always by his side, and he's always there to support her. They're an unbeatable duo and no one can stop them. When she needs something, he's right there behind her. When he's lost sight of his goals, she keeps him focused. They want to lock this relationship down, forever.


All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my girlfriend) Down to ride 'til the very end, is me and my boyfriend (me and my boyfriend) (that's right) All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my girlfriend) (look for me) Down to ride 'til the very end, is me and my boyfriend (me and my boyfriend)
They only need each other in this world of sin. Beyonce and Jay-Z promise to stick together until the very end, he's her boyfriend, and she's his girlfriend. They know what they have is special and they'll stick together forever.


The problem is, you dudes treat the one that you lovin' With the same respect that you treat the one that you humpin' That ain't 'bout nothin' If ever you mad about somethin' It won't be that, oh no, it won't be that I don't be at places where we comfy at With no beatch, oh no, you won't see that And no, I ain't perfect Nobody walking this earth's surface is But, girlfriend, work with the kid I keep you workin' that HermĂšs Birkin bag Manolo Blahnik Timbs, Aviator lens 600 drops, Mercedes Benz The only time you wear Burberry to swim And I don't have to worry, only worry is him She do anything necessary for him And I do anything necessary for her So don't let the necessary occur, yep
There's an issue in the world where men don't treat the women they love with the same respect they treat the women they're just sleeping with. However, Beyonce lets Jay-Z know that they don't have to worry about that issue. They don't go to places where they might cheat on each other, and Jay-Z tries his best to keep Beyonce happy, buying her expensive things like a Hermes Birkin Bag or Manolo Blahnik Timbs. They both try their best to keep each other happy, and their only worry is each other. Beyonce is willing to do anything to keep him happy and vice versa. They hope their love is strong enough to overcome any obstacles that come their way.


(Talk to 'em, B!) If I was your girlfriend I'll be there for you, if somebody hurts you Even if that somebody was me (that's right!) Yeah-hee (break it down for 'em, B!) Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be And so I put this on my life Nobody or nothing will ever come between us And I promise I'll give my life My love and my trust if you was my boyfriend (one more time!) It's on my life The air that I breathe in, all that I believe in I promise I'll give my life My love and my trust if you was my boyfriend
Beyonce declares that she will always be there for Jay-Z, even if she's the one who hurts him. She's tripping over how happy they could be together, and she's willing to put her life on the line for Jay-Z. They won't let anyone or anything come between them because they will always give their love and trust to each other.

Lyrics: Bonnie & Clyde

Uhh, uhh, uhh
You ready B? Let's go get 'em
Look for me, Young, B, cruising down the Westside highway
Doing what we like to do, our, way
Eyes behind shades, this necklace the reason
All of my dates been blind dates
But today, I got my thoroughest girl wit me
I'm mashing the gas, she's grabbing the wheel
It's true to the heart, she rides with me
The new Bobby and Whitney
Only time we don't speak is during 'Sex and the City'
She gets Carrie fever but soon as the show is over
She's right back to being my soldier
'Cause mami's a rider and I'm a roller
Put us together, how they gon' stop both us?
What ever she lacks, I'm right over her shoulder
When I'm off track mami is keeping me focused
So let's, lock this down like it's supposed to be
The '03 Bonnie & Clyde, Hov' and B
All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend
Down to ride 'til the very end, it's me and my boyfriend
All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend
Down to ride 'til the very end, it's me and my boyfriend
The problem is, you dudes treat the one that you loving
With the same respect that you treat the one that you humping
Now they 'bout nothing if ever you mad about something
It won't be that, oh no it won't be that
I don't be at, places where we comfy at
With no be-atch, oh no, you won't see that
And no, I ain't perfect, nobody walking this earth's surface is
But girlfriend, work with the kid
I keep you working at Kermain, Birkin Bag
Manolo Blahnik Timbs, aviator lens
600 drops, Mercedes Benz
The only time you wear Burberry to swim
And I don't have to worry, only worry is him
She do anything necessary for him
And I do anything necessary for her
So don't let the necessary occur, yep
All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend
Down to ride 'til the very end, it's me and my boyfriend
All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend
Down to ride 'til the very end, it's me and my boyfriend
If I was your girlfriend
I'll be there for you, if somebody hurts you
Even if it's somebody takes my place
Yeah-hee
(Break it down for 'em)
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be
And so I put this on my life
Nobody or nothing will ever come between us
And I promise I'll give my life
And all of my trust if you was my boyfriend
Put this on my life
The air that I breathe in, all that I believe in
I promise I'll give my life
And all of my trust if you was my boyfriend
All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend
Down to ride 'til the very end, it's me and my boyfriend
All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend
Down to ride 'til the very end, it's me and my boyfriend

I almost forgot this song until I saw the Airbnb commercial with that old couple on what looks like a trip overseas. What a classic song!

The mid 80s- mid 2000s era will remain unique in music history. The record industry was making so much money they could afford to allocate $1 million plus to music video budgets and that gave us some of the most creative, cinematic and memorable videos. Now all videos are shot on portable digital cameras and all look the same. No more helicopters, speedboats, action sequences. This video, Honey by Mariah Carey and Remember the Times by Michael Jackson are prime examples of absolute classics.

Facts

@marvinhoward2698

Damn haven’t thought about it. Yeah, these new videos are trash. The concepts are really weak with extras in the video doing nothing. Literally sometimes doing nothing, like a statue

@ObeAroundTheGlobe

the music industry is making even more money today. I think the difference is that technology has improved. Janet and Michael's scream video is still the most expensive video of all time because CGI was so damn expensive back then. Also, nowadays the music videos focus more on the artist rather than the plot. There isn't a need for all the expensive effects. Artistry changes over time
