The song "Sensei" is a collaboration between Chris Brown and A1, and it talks about being in control and feeling powerful. Chris starts the song by telling listeners that he's their "Sensei," which is a Japanese term for a teacher or master. He then talks about not getting caught out of bounds and staying focused on achieving success. Brown then speaks about having a good time and partying with his friends. He raps about the luxury and abundance of his life, such as having a big house with acres and enjoying pool parties every night. Chris gives some explicit instructions to his partner, telling them to follow his lead and submit to him sexually.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Sensei, yeah, ooh, sensei, yeah" over a catchy melody. Brown once again asserts his authority over his partner as their teacher and leader, and he emphasizes that he knows what he's doing. The song comes to a close with Brown telling his partner that they need to "earn their stripes" to be his equal. Although the lyrics of this song are a bit controversial and explicit, the track is undeniably catchy and fun to listen to.
