Birdman ft Kendrick Lamar Det Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have no doubt
That I can love you forever
The only trouble is
You really don't have the time

You've got one night only
One night only thats
One night only
One night only
One night only
One night only thats

And when they see me
They see three, C 3 baby!
She marks her calendar
Reschedule every plan
She knows when I'm coming
She's more than a fan
She got my tour dates
She also gotta man
But even homie gotta understand
She got

One night only
One night only

And, no one gon take it from her
nothings gon make her miss it
And when I'm gone she'll miss it
Wish she never forget that

One night only
One night only thats

Next day another city
She's never comin' with me
I'm nothin' more than memories
Memories she keep forever
She always dream about me
Wish she could sleep forever
She get her fit together
She get her shit together
After my concert
She wanna get together
I get her on my bus
We chill and sit together
She has no curfew
I can take tha bitch wherever
Come off a bit respectful
I'm on a different level
I got her feelin' special
Then she remember she got

One night only
One night only thats
One night only
One night only
One night only
One night only thats
One night only
One night only

But... I... Can make you love me forever..
Baby I can make you love me forever
(Yeah)

Now all the hoes hate her
Tha dudes wan' date her
Her nigga saw her leave
She deal wit em later
Right now she wit the greatest
I'm even homies favorite
How could he even blame her
She doin' him a favor
She let that nigga love her
She let that nigga save her
But when I come she let a nigga take her...
Take her for

One night only
One night only
(Yeah)

She turnin' off her phone
She turnin' off her pager
Tell him that shit on roam
That nigga goin' in labor

One night only
One night only thats

Des niggas hate the game
But they can't bite the lay up
Then she go home to him
He sicker than a patient
He waitin' at the table
No breakfast at the table
He ask her where she been
She say stop trippin' it was

One night only
One night only thats
One night only
One night only
One night only
One night only thats
One night only
One night only

But I... can...make you love me forever...
I... can make you love me forever

Them older bitches jealous
Say shes a groupie whore
But every women in this world was you before
See everybody wish upon that superstar
But when it come true how true you are
You got your

One night only
One night only

See I can't be her man
And She can't be my girl
Oh but we fuck like its the end of the world
And we got

One night only
One night only thats

I got a wife she knows
My wife ain't on the road
When she come to my room
She take off all her clothes
Say anything goes
Tomorrow same clothes
We prolly order movies
We prolly lay together
But we can't stay together
Thats when I gotta tell her

I have no doubt
That I can love you forever




The only trouble is
You really don't have the time...

Overall Meaning

The song "One Night" by Birdman ft. Kendrick Lamar portrays the fleeting nature of love and passion. The lyrics describe a woman who has only one night with the singer but still wants to make the most out of it, rescheduling her plans and dreaming about him even after he has left. The song has a melancholic undertone as the singer knows that the woman can't be with him longer than one night, and although he wishes he could make her love him forever, he acknowledges that it's not possible.


The lyrics also highlight the complexities of relationships, as the woman has a man, but still wants to be with the singer for just one night, while the singer himself has a wife waiting for him at home. The song suggests that love and passion are not bound by conventional morality, and people often want what they can't have or what they know won't last.


Overall, "One Night" is a somber reflection on the limitations of love and the contradictions of human desire.
