Substitute
Dawin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got the devil on your right shoulder
Telling you to let me hit it right now
Baby girl, send the addy to my phone
I'ma make sure you're not alone
You can't get homeboy to watch his tone
Think you gotta stay but you don't
So baby, let me substitute him tonight
You got a man that ain't hitting it right
So baby, let me substitute him tonight
And I just saw your story and you put him on blast
Catch me when you need me I'ma pull up real fast
You got a man that ain't treating you right
So baby, let me substitute him, aye
I be like mami
Do you copy?
Can I come through?
ASAP Rocky
Flip ya mood 360 like my bankroll
We could do 120 in the Lambo, oouu
Girl, ya man been hella sloppy
Oh, you let me in and now you got me
Asking for them the pics like paparazzi
Oh, you tempted to give me that toppy
You got the angel on your left shoulder telling you to slow it down
You got the devil on your right shoulder
Telling you to let me hit it right now
Baby girl, send the addy to my phone
I'ma make sure you're not alone
You can't get homeboy to watch his tone
Think you gotta stay but you don't
You got a man that ain't treating you right
So baby, let me substitute him tonight
You got a man that ain't hitting it right
So baby, let me substitute him tonight
And I just saw your story and you put him on blast
Catch me when you need me I'ma pull up real fast
You got a man that ain't treating you right
So baby, let me substitute him, aye
He give you fractions
Of compassion
Said he love you
But he cappin'
It's confidential everything we texting
In ya wet dreams you said that I'm flexing
You already know I got ideas
I could pull up to you with tequila
Turn the living room to an arena
You could be my naked ballerina
You got a man that ain't treating you right
So baby, let me substitute him tonight
You got a man that ain't hitting it right
So baby, let me substitute him tonight
And I just saw your story and you put him on blast
Catch me when you need me I'ma pull up real fast
You got a man that ain't treating you right
So baby, let me substitute him tonight
The lyrics of Dawin’s song “Substitute” revolve around the idea of a man trying to seduce a woman who is unhappy with her current partner. The song begins with the depiction of two internal forces in the woman’s mind – the angel and the devil. While the angel urges her to take it slow, the devil tempts her to give in to the man’s advances. The man tries to reassure her by saying he will make sure she’s not alone and that she doesn’t have to stay in the unhappy relationship.
Towards the end of the song, the man assures the woman that he will treat her better than her current partner, and that he will shower her with love and attention. He promises to provide her with everything that her current partner cannot, and offers her the option to substitute him for the night.
Overall, the song portrays an unhealthy perspective that promotes cheating and reinforces the idea that it is acceptable to try and convince someone to leave their partner for you. It objectifies and reduces the woman’s feelings to a matter of sexual desire, and overlooks the complexities of her current relationship.

Your current partner is not treating you well in bed or in general. Let me be your substitute tonight. I saw you publicly call out your partner on social media. Call me when you need someone, I'll be there quickly.

I address you respectfully, asking to come over as soon as possible. I have a lot of money and I can make you feel good. Your current partner is bad in bed and I'm already starting to turn you on. You may even be willing to give me oral sex.

Your partner only gives you a small amount of love and affection, while claiming to love you. Our conversations are private and you've fantasized about me. I have creative and exciting ideas, such as bringing tequila and watching you dance naked.
