Oh you should be my boyfriend, boy
A good boy, a tough boy, a rough boy
My kind a boy, boy
A cute boy, a hip boy
Oh you should be my boyfriend, boy
I must admit you came by lookin nice man
I put the ice in your hand, Cryse man
I want to know can you come back by and
The way I feel it makes me want to get down and
Oooh look at you bling-blingin'
Oooh you got me feelin'
Oooh inside I'm screamin'
Oooh boy

(Rap:) A hip boy you could feel like you never felt
I know I told you I'd be working these late nights
I know you miss the good sex and the pillow fights
But I'ma thug and I gotta stay on my job
Yeah it's hard
You want a rich man don't ya
No slob
You want to lay up don't ya
No job
You want to hit the streets huh
Get robbed
You a wifey, queen status
You the baddest
Cute chick the maddest
With furs and the carats
Feeling alright cause the day you comin' back
You walked in the door cause I got your bags packed
Cause you goin' on a trip huh
We gonna let 'em know
The spin when we dip huh
The Benz sit real low when we dip huh
We on point, the hip boys
Royale, the district
A good boy, a tough boy, a rough boy
My kind a boy, boy
A cute boy, a hip boy
Oh you should be my boyfriend, boy
A good boy, a tough boy, a rough boy
My kind a boy, boy
A cute boy, a hip boy
Oh you should be my boyfriend, boy
The song "The Boy" by Omero Mumba is about a girl who sees a boy walking around in his neighborhood and is immediately drawn to him. She admires his look and his tough attitude and wishes to be with him. The boy seems to have money as he is wearing expensive jewelry and has a nice car. The lyrics convey the girl's desire to be with the boy and her frustration that he is not around as much due to his job as a thug. The lyrics also suggest that the girl is willing to overlook the boy's flaws and maintain a relationship with him despite his criminal behavior.
The song has an upbeat tempo and is catchy, perfect for dancing or singing along. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and desperation, as the girl is willing to be with the boy regardless of the consequences. The rap interlude provides additional context about the boy's profession and his lifestyle, which makes it difficult for him to be with the girl. It suggests that the girl desires a life of luxury and is willing to overlook the boy's criminal behavior to achieve it.
Overall, the song is a catchy and fun pop tune with a hint of romanticism and a bit of danger.
