GoldLink feat. Masego Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I admit it, I admit it
Yeah, you're not the only woman in my phone, yeah
I be up late chattin', interactin', straight mackin'
With all these other people, I'm sorry
Especially up 'round 2, or 3, or 4
Especially up 'round 2, or 3, or 4
Baby I don't know what to do, for me, for more
Late night life
Late night life
Late night life
Late night life
I admit it, I admit it
You're not the only woman in my phone
I'll be up late chattin', interacting
Wit' all bad ass bitches and these other people
Oh, I'm sorry
Drivin' in Oakland gal
Forgot the night before
Stayed at the Westin Inn
Looked in those tempting eyes
And you're all on my mind
Confident in you skin
Me, my boys and your friends
Yeah we had a good time
I hope to see you
Especially up 'round 2, or 3, or 4
Especially up 'round 2, or 3, or 4
Got me askin' for 'round 2, or 3, or 4
Baby I don't know what to do, for me, for more
When I saw him, there was just something different. Like we always have so much fun. And they're crazy, like - him and his friends, they're so funny. It makes me so happy to be with them. Even when they say that he's the bad guy. You hear shit, but you find how to tune it out. Life's too short to ask questions. When you see Goldlink... just know that's all me, baby
The song "Late Night" by GoldLink feat. Masego is a confession of a man's infidelity to his partner. He admits to having other women's phone numbers, with whom he chats, interacts, and even flirts with until the late hours of the night. He apologizes for his actions but seems to have a hard time controlling himself when it comes to interacting with other people, especially females. The chorus emphasizes the fact that he is most susceptible to such acts between the hours of 2-4 am, indicating that this seems to be his "weakness." The song's tone overall is apologetic, yet also a bit unapologetic, as the man admits to his infidelity while still doing nothing to prevent himself from doing it again.
The lyrics are also somewhat contradictory, as the man admits to being with other women but seems to be trying to win back his partner's affection by having her come back around for "round two, three or four." He involves himself in activities that are likely to jeopardize his relationship but still hopes his partner will come back to him. The verse also highlights a particular night where the man and his friends had a great time with some women, but he still couldn't get his current partner out of his mind.
Overall, the lyrics convey a feeling of regret within the man as he struggles between his infidelity and his feelings for his current partner. The late-night interactions are a clear sign of a weak bond with the partner, as he seeks adventure outside of his relationship.
