Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uhh uhh uhh.
You ready 'b' Let's go get 'em..

Look for me! Young, be
Cruisin' down the westside... highway
Doing what we like to do... our, way
Eyes behind shades, this necklace the reason
All of my dates been blind dates
But today, I got my thoroughest girl wit me
I'm mashin' the gas, she's grabbin' the wheel, it's true to the heart
She rides with me - the new Bobby and Whitney

Only time we don't speak is during "Sex and the City"
She gets Carrie fever, but soon as the show is over
She's right back to being my soldier
'Cause mami's a rider, and I'm a roller

Put us together, how they gon' stop both us?
What ever she lacks, I'm right over her shoulder
When I'm off track mami is keepin me focused
So let's, lock this down like it's supposed to be
The '03 Bonnie and Clyde, Hov' and be

[Chorus]
[Jay] All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend.
[Bey] Down to ride 'til the very end, it's me and my boyfriend.
[Jay] All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend.
[Bey] Down to ride 'til the very end, it's me and my boyfriend.

The problem is, you dudes treat the one that you lovin
With the same respect that you treat the one that you humpin
Now they 'bout nothin - if ever you mad about somethin
It won't be that; oh no it won't be that

I don't be at, places where we comfy at
With no be-atch; oh no you won't see that
And no, I ain't perfect - nobody walkin this earth's surface is
But girlfriend, work with the kid

I keep you workin that Hermes Burkin bag,
Manolo Blahnik, Timbs, aviator lens
600 drops, Mercedes Benz
The only time you wear Burberry to swim

And I don't have to worry, only worry is him
She do anything necessary for him
And I do anything necessary for her
So don't let the necessary occur, yep!

[Chorus]

(Talk to 'em B)
If I was your girlfried,
I'll be there for you, if somebody hurts you,
Even if that somebody is me

Yeah-hee (break it down for 'em)
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be
And so I put this on my life
Nobody or nothing will ever come between us

And I promise I'll give my life
And all of my trust if you was my boyfriend
Put this on my life
The air that I breathe in, all that I believe in

I promise I'll give my life
My love and my trust if you was my boyfriend





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s “03 Bonnie and Clyde” are an ode to staying committed to each other through thick and thin and riding until the very end. Jay-Z and Beyoncé compare themselves to the infamous criminal duo, Bonnie and Clyde, and assert that they are an unstoppable force together.


Jay-Z starts by describing how he and Beyoncé are cruising down the Westside Highway and doing things their way. He acknowledges that all of his past dates have been blind dates, but he’s now found a girl that’s with him through thick and thin like the new “Bobby and Whitney”. He goes on to say how Beyoncé is his ride-or-die who keeps him focused and on track.


Beyoncé comes in on the chorus, singing that all she needs in this life of sin is Jay-Z, and she’s down to ride with him till the very end. Jay-Z chimes in to say that the problem with most men is that they don’t treat their significant others with the same level of respect as they do the people they’s just sleeping with. He goes on to describe how he takes care of Beyoncé’s every need, and Beyoncé talks about how she’ll always be there for him, even if it means going against herself.


The song is an embodiment of the idea of two people coming together and being unstoppable. It speaks to people’s desire to have a relationship where they know that they’re both on the same page, and they can rely on each other no matter what life throws their way.


Line by Line Meaning

Look for me! Young, be Cruisin' down the westside... highway Doing what we like to do... our, way Eyes behind shades, this necklace the reason
Hey, keep an eye out for us! We're two young people cruising down the west side highway, doing the things we love in our own way. Her eyes are hidden behind sunglasses, and this necklace she's wearing is the reason we're doing what we're doing.


All of my dates been blind dates But today, I got my thoroughest girl wit me I'm mashin' the gas, she's grabbin' the wheel, it's true to the heart She rides with me - the new Bobby and Whitney
I've been on a lot of blind dates in the past, but today I'm with my toughest girl. I'm driving fast and she's helping me steer the car, and it's true love. She's right here with me, just like Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston used to be.


Only time we don't speak is during "Sex and the City" She gets Carrie fever, but soon as the show is over She's right back to being my soldier 'Cause mami's a rider, and I'm a roller
The only time we don't talk is during episodes of "Sex and the City." She loves the show, but as soon as it's over, she's right back to supporting me. She's my loyal companion, and I'm the one who's always taking action.


Put us together, how they gon' stop both us? What ever she lacks, I'm right over her shoulder When I'm off track mami is keepin me focused So let's, lock this down like it's supposed to be The '03 Bonnie and Clyde, Hov' and be
If we're together, how could anyone stop us? Whatever she's missing, I'm right there to support her. When I'm distracted or off course, she helps me stay on track. So let's be together for good, and let's be like the legendary criminal couple Bonnie and Clyde - me and her.


[Chorus] [Jay] All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend. [Bey] Down to ride 'til the very end, it's me and my boyfriend. [Jay] All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend. [Bey] Down to ride 'til the very end, it's me and my boyfriend.
We don't need anything else in this sinful life except for each other. She's willing to stay by my side no matter what happens, and I feel the same way about her.


The problem is, you dudes treat the one that you lovin With the same respect that you treat the one that you humpin Now they 'bout nothin - if ever you mad about somethin It won't be that; oh no it won't be that
The issue with you guys is that you treat your lovers the same way you treat your casual hookups. They're not worth anything to you, and if you're ever upset about something, you won't have anyone there to support you like my girlfriend and I do.


I don't be at, places where we comfy at With no be-atch; oh no you won't see that And no, I ain't perfect - nobody walkin this earth's surface is But girlfriend, work with the kid
I don't go to places where we aren't comfortable, without her. I won't be caught with any other woman. I know I'm not perfect, but nobody is. But my girlfriend works with me and supports me no matter what.


I keep you workin that Hermes Burkin bag, Manolo Blahnik, Timbs, aviator lens 600 drops, Mercedes Benz The only time you wear Burberry to swim
I keep her busy wearing expensive designer items like a Hermes Birkin bag, Manolo Blahnik shoes, Timberland boots, and aviator sunglasses. We also drive around in a fancy 600 drops, Mercedes Benz. The only time she wears Burberry is when we go swimming.


And I don't have to worry, only worry is him She do anything necessary for him And I do anything necessary for her So don't let the necessary occur, yep!
I don't have to worry about anything, except for him. She'll do anything necessary to support me, and I feel the same way about her. So let's not let anything bad happen, okay?


[Chorus] (Talk to 'em B) If I was your girlfried, I'll be there for you, if somebody hurts you, Even if that somebody is me
We don't need anything else in this sinful life except for each other. She's willing to stay by my side no matter what happens, and I feel the same way about her.


Yeah-hee (break it down for 'em) Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be And so I put this on my life Nobody or nothing will ever come between us And I promise I'll give my life And all of my trust if you was my boyfriend Put this on my life The air that I breathe in, all that I believe in I promise I'll give my life My love and my trust if you was my boyfriend
Sometimes I wonder how happy we could be together, and that's how sure I am of our love. Nobody and nothing could ever come between us, I promise. I would put my life on the line and give you all my trust if you were my boyfriend, because that's how much I love you.

Lyrics: Bonnie & Clyde

Uhh, uhh, uhh
You ready B? Let's go get 'em
Look for me, Young, B, cruising down the Westside highway
Doing what we like to do, our, way
Eyes behind shades, this necklace the reason
All of my dates been blind dates

I'm mashing the gas, she's grabbing the wheel
It's true to the heart, she rides with me
The new Bobby and Whitney
Only time we don't speak is during 'Sex and the City'
She gets Carrie fever but soon as the show is over
She's right back to being my soldier
'Cause mami's a rider and I'm a roller
Put us together, how they gon' stop both us?
What ever she lacks, I'm right over her shoulder
When I'm off track mami is keeping me focused
So let's, lock this down like it's supposed to be
The '03 Bonnie & Clyde, Hov' and B
All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend
Down to ride 'til the very end, it's me and my boyfriend
All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend
Down to ride 'til the very end, it's me and my boyfriend
The problem is, you dudes treat the one that you loving
With the same respect that you treat the one that you humping
Now they 'bout nothing if ever you mad about something
It won't be that, oh no it won't be that

With no be-atch, oh no, you won't see that
And no, I ain't perfect, nobody walking this earth's surface is
But girlfriend, work with the kid

All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend

Even if it's somebody takes my place

Eyes behind shades
This necklace the reason all of my dates been blind dates
But today I got my thoroughest girl with me
I'm mashin' the gas, she's grabbin' the wheel, it's trippy
How hard she rides with me, the new Bobby and Whitney

She gets Carrie fever, but soon as the show's over
She's right back to being my soldier
'Cause mami's a rider and I'm a roller
Put us together, how they gon' stop both us?
Whatever she lacks, I'm right over her shoulder
When I'm off track, mami is keepin' me focused
