Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of Chris Brown's "Girlfriend," he and Lupe Fiasco rap about their flashy lifestyles and how they attract women who are already in relationships. The line "we going do what we say, see us when see that again, call us instant replay" refers to the repetition of their success and lifestyle. They have a lot of money and spend it on luxury cars, chains, and women. The line "cop a coupe and then recoup, we call it instant replay" suggests that they can easily make back the money they spend on their extravagant lifestyle. They continue to live their lives carelessly without consequences which they refer to as "heating up the wave."


The verse by Lupe Fiasco explicitly describes a luxurious lifestyle, where he drives his Lamborghini (Murcielago) from Chicago to VA with a pretty woman beside him. The line "her chain look like car show, body like a bottle, pretty lil’ model, that’s why this dude is trippin'" portrays the model in question's physical appearance that makes men envious of Lupe Fiasco's success. They also mention how the girl's boyfriend is "hella mad" that she is around them, even when they don't want her.


The refrain of the song, "I don't want your girlfriend, but she likes la la la la la," sums up the theme of the song. While they don't necessarily want to steal someone's girlfriend, they are still attractive to them, and it's happening anyway. It seems they have the power to seduce any woman they want, whether or not they are in a relationship. The girls are singing "la la la la la" suggest they are living carefree lives, without any considerations.

I declined her advances and left her hanging. She knows what I'm like (comparing me to a comic book character), and I entered the room smoothly, wearing my Yeezy shoes (designed by Kanye West).


Your diamonds ain't got no class, we call them Dr. Kingly
Your diamond jewelry doesn't look expensive or high-quality, so we are sarcastically calling it 'Dr. Kingly' (as if it is regal or sophisticated).
