Rock the Pants
Prince Royce Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh

I've tried everything to catch up to ya speed
And be the man you need, even change my ways
But you always leaving me shaking my head
Pushing me to the edge, all you do is complain

I thought it was fate

Guess I made a mistake
Accusing me of things I didn't do
But I'ma set you straight, 'cause tonight I'm coming home late
And you can cry all you want but I ain't taking the bait
And you can beg me to stay but no way, it ain't up for debate
Asking who? What? Where? And why?
Don't matter if I'm cheating in your mind
What the hell,
Might as well be out there doing what I want to all the time, yeah

Watch me as my jeans sag low when I walk out the door
I'ma go be a man, 'cause you forgot that I wear the pants
Watch me get these girls on the floor, get 'em asking for more
I'ma go do my dance, 'cause she forgot that I rock the pants

You're independent, work hard
All the above and that I appreciate
Every now and then gotta understand
That a man got a breathe, that I need my space
From the very last time I kissed ya
Let there be a gap give me time to miss ya
And I'ma go out with the fellas don't blow up my cell
Be cool and I'ma catch you later

Watch me as my jeans sag low when I walk out the door
I'ma go be a man, 'cause you forgot that I wear the pants
Watch me get these girls on the floor, get 'em asking for more
I'ma go do my dance, 'cause she forgot that I rock the pants

Watch me as my jeans sag low when I walk out the door
I'ma go be a man, 'cause you forgot that I wear the pants
Watch me get these girls on the floor, get 'em asking for more
I'ma go do my dance, 'cause she forgot that I rock the pants

Eh tratado de ser todo para ti y hacerte feliz con todo cumplii
Pero siempre dices que yo soy infiel que no te doy querer me alejas de ti
Pense que gane pero creo que falle por eso es que esta noche no me quedo contigo
Watch me as I'm gone (watch me as my) jeans sag low when I walk out the door
I'ma go be a man, 'cause you forgot that I wear the pants
Watch me get these girls on the floor, get 'em asking for more
I'ma go do my dance, 'cause she forgot that I rock the pants

Watch me as my jeans sag low when I walk out the door
I'ma go be a man, 'cause you forgot that I wear the pants

Watch me get these girls on the floor, get 'em asking for more
I'ma go do my dance, 'cause she forgot that I rock the pants

Line by Line Meaning

Oh
Expressing surprise or excitement

I've tried everything to catch up to ya speed
I have attempted various things to keep pace with you

And be the man you need, even change my ways
I try to be the person you require, even if it means altering my behavior

But you always leaving me shaking my head
But you continuously frustrate me

Pushing me to the edge, all you do is complain
Making me almost lose my patience, you do nothing but criticize

I thought it was fate
I believed it was meant to be

Guess I made a mistake
I suppose I was wrong

Accusing me of things I didn't do
Blaming me for deeds I haven't done

But I'ma set you straight, 'cause tonight I'm coming home late
But I'm going to correct you, because I'm going to return home late tonight

And you can cry all you want but I ain't taking the bait
And you can cry as much as you want, but I won't fall for it

And you can beg me to stay but no way, it ain't up for debate
And you can plead with me to stay, but I'm not going to argue about it

Asking who? What? Where? And why?
Inquiring about particulars

Don't matter if I'm cheating in your mind
It doesn't matter if you think I'm unfaithful

What the hell,
An expression of disregard

Might as well be out there doing what I want to all the time, yeah
I might as well be doing what I want all the time

Watch me as my jeans sag low when I walk out the door
Observe me as my jeans hang low when I leave

I'ma go be a man, 'cause you forgot that I wear the pants
I'm going to act like a grown-up because you forgot who makes the decisions

Watch me get these girls on the floor, get 'em asking for more
Notice me as I get these women on the dance floor, making them want more

I'ma go do my dance, 'cause she forgot that I rock the pants
I'm going to dance because she's forgotten that I'm in charge

You're independent, work hard
You're self-sufficient and diligent

All the above and that I appreciate
I value all of these things

Every now and then gotta understand
Occasionally you must comprehend

That a man got a breathe, that I need my space
That a man needs to breathe, and I need some personal space

From the very last time I kissed ya
From the final moment I kissed you

Let there be a gap give me time to miss ya
Let there be a pause so I can miss you

And I'ma go out with the fellas don't blow up my cell
I'm going out with my friends, so don't call or text me constantly

Be cool and I'ma catch you later
Be calm, and I'll see you later

Eh tratado de ser todo para ti y hacerte feliz con todo cumplii
I have tried to be everything for you and make you happy, and I've fulfilled everything

Pero siempre dices que yo soy infiel que no te doy querer me alejas de ti
However, you always say I'm unfaithful, you claim I'm not loving you, and you push me away

Pense que gane pero creo que falle por eso es que esta noche no me quedo contigo
I believed that I won, but I think I missed something, which is why I'm not staying with you tonight
