Partynextdoor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was hardly home, workin' 3 to 3, seems like another time
Feels like another time, there will be another time
I'll get to, forget you
But, you just walked in
Once you get to talkin', how I lost it
Hard to call it all my fault, mama
Was it all bad? (Yeah)
I was laughin' cause you met, ha
Tell me where he at now? (Where he at?)
Somewhere in the trap now
Wonder why he trap now
You was a rich bitch, probably need a rich nigga too
And if you think about me, I'm 'bout to think about you
Me and you cheer for my Lamborghini flexin'
Workin' in the East but you know we in the West End
Name another nigga hustle hard like me
With a heart like me
Just a young nigga with the time like me
You should shine like me
Run that nigga, you don't want that nigga
But I need a bad bitch that's hotter than me
You can hardly admit
I'm still tryna fuck, with you
Girl, I wanna fuck with you (with you)
Yeah, yeah, I'm tryna fuck you, girl, I'm tryna fuck with you
Tryna fuck you girl, I'm tryna fuck with you
I wanna fuck you girl, you know I fuck with you
I wanna fuck you girl, let me roll with you
Girl, I wanna fuck with you
But when we arguin', it's just me and me
I was hardly home, workin' 3 to 3, seems like another time
Feels like another time, there will be another time
I'll get to, forget you
Go ahead, go ahead, go and ask Billie Jean who's the one?
Let the truth be told, I don't believe you know what I want
Girl, if it's a plan you like, I know the bands you like
Know the strands you like, know the brands you like
What kind of man you like? Wanna expand your life
Girl, you a rich bitch, probably need a rich nigga too
And if you think about me, I'm 'bout to think about you
Me and you cheer for my Lamborghini flexin'
Workin' in the East but you know we in the West End
Name another nigga hustle hard like me
With a heart like me
Just a young nigga with the time like me
You should shine like me
So I say fuck that nigga, you don't want that nigga
But I need a bad bitch that's hotter than me
You can hardly admit
I'm still tryna fuck, with you
Girl, I wanna fuck with you (with you)
Yeah yeah I'm tryna fuck you, girl, I'm tryna fuck with you
Tryna fuck you girl, I'm tryna fuck with you
I wanna fuck you girl, you know I fuck with you
I wanna fuck you girl, let me roll with you
Girl, I wanna fuck with you
So you fuckin' with a real one
Now you fuckin' with a real one
Somebody should have told you
I wanna fuck with you
In PARTYNEXTDOOR's song FWU, he conveys the perspective of a man trying to rekindle a relationship with a woman whom he believes is perfect for him. He states that when they argue, it's just him and himself, indicating that the woman is not present during their arguments. He mentions that he was hardly home, working from 3 to 3, which seems like another time, indicating that he was too busy to invest in the relationship, and he hopes for another opportunity to forget and move on. However, he can't resist when the woman walks in and starts conversing with him. He also comments on the woman's previous relationship, questioning where the other guy is and wondering why he is now involved in the drug trade.
The rapper conveys his admiration for the woman in question, equating her to a "rich bitch" and indicating that she requires someone of equal standing. He comments on her taste in brands, strains, and types of men, indicating that he knows her well. He boasts about his lifestyle, referring to his Lamborghini and his hustle. He states that he requires a bad bitch who is hotter than him but is also reluctant to admit it.
It's evident that PARTYNEXTDOOR desires to have sex with the woman, as he says it multiple times throughout the song. He acknowledges that he wants to "fuck with" her and praises her throughout the song in an attempt to persuade her to be with him.
