Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can make it real easy for you, don't quit
Take it from the back cause you know that I'm a bad chick
Only ask for the d*ck cause I'm bout my own will
Cause they want me in the kitchen, want this chick to be a?
But I won't be some missive to the games, no no, no no!
But I'd be worth your time
Cause I, I keep it tight I won't let, won't let you slide
But I keep them on a leash
Keep them on a leash, keep them on a leash
Keep them on a leash, keep the men on a leash
Keep them on a leash, keep them on a leash
Keep them on a leash, keep the men on a leash
Of the men I wanna trick, cause I wanna live
If? gonna trip, keep them on a leash
Now she live, she compete, she could want to live
I don't his sh*t, keep them on a leash
Gotta let them know that the sh*t is legitimate
Can't fall back to good?
24, 25, 36, model bitch,
Ain't a better chick, got your pussy wet
Cause they want me in the kitchen, want this chick to be a? But on't be some missive to the games, no no, no no! But I'd be w
orth your time Cause I, I keep it tight I won't let, won't let you slide Keep it straight, give you space But I keep them on a leash Keep them on a leash, keep them on a leash Keep them on a leash, keep the men on a leash Keep them on a leash, keep them on a leash Keep them on a leash, keep the men on a leash Of the men I wanna trick, cause I wanna live If? gonna trip, keep them on a leash Now she live, she compete, she could want to live I don't his sh*t, keep them on a leash
The lyrics of Mejia Sisters' song Stray are about a strong, independent woman who is not afraid to take control of her own life and desires. She warns men from the start that she's not someone to mess with and that she only wants them for sex. She defies the gender roles society expects of her, rejecting the idea that women belong in the kitchen and won't be a victim to any games men try to play. She's confident in her own worth and the way she keeps men on a leash, not letting them slide but also giving them space, making sure they know that she's in charge.
The chorus repeats the phrase "keep them on a leash" multiple times, emphasizing the message of the song. The lyrics repeat the line "of the men I wanna trick, cause I wanna live" which might imply that the singer is using men for her own gain, to satisfy her desires without necessarily caring about their own.
Overall, the song empowers women to take control of their own lives and not let men control them or dictate their actions.

The beat is really unique, the song is great. I expected a more powerful chorus, though. One of the best R&B singles of 2014.
