Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sixty second assassin
TrackMastahhhhhhhhhs
Turn that music up!
Rocklaaaaaaaaand
Hovahhhhhhhhh
Woo! Yes, yes

Somebody's girl is at this party (woo!)
Shakin that ass to this (uh-huh)
Somebody's girl is at this party (woo!)
Drink that glass of Cris' (that's right)
Somebody's girl is at this party (uh)
Sittin in V.I.P.
Somebody's girl (yeah) is at this party (that's right)
And she's comin home with me

Umm I don't mean no harm
But your boy young Hov' got a mean ol' arm
Got all the young ladies wanna lean on him
And I don't turn them away, I'm like, bring them on
Now, where's her man is not my concern
It's not what I'm worried about, I'm just tryin to hurry her out
Clear her whole area out
And bring this whole party little nearer to my house
Now, where's her spouse? I don't know
So, I don't ask, I don't probe
I just, get in six, get out on Rov'
Let her, sip on Cris', go out on tours
Now, back at the lab, I'm actin' bad
Cause the, pool is warm, a booze is on
Just a - select few, the fools are gone
It's slow jams and the grooves is on, groove on

Somebody's girl is at this party
Shakin' that ass to this
Somebody's girl is at this party
Drink that glass of Cris'
Somebody's girl is at this party
Sittin' in V.I.P.
Somebody's girl is at this party
And she's comin' home with me

Uhh, is it my fault they call me young heat rock
Hardhead, go through walls like sheet rock
And she's comin' with me, when the beat stop
When the party is done, I party with hon
Now, is it my fault you neglect your broad
And she wanna party with me, no ex at all?
No ex-boyfriend, no ex involved
Just the highway exit that we exit off
And I, fall back, I let her talk
I inquire sometime, I admire her mind
I, like her wit, I'm lovin' her shoes
I'm a alternative rap, I'm playin' the blues
I'm a thorough street nigga never breakin' the rules
And her man's shortcomin' is turnin' me into somethin'
That of which she has never seen
So she wanna crossover where the grass is green, knahmean?

Somebody's girl is at this party
Shakin' that ass to this
Somebody's girl is at this party
Drink that glass of Cris'
Somebody's girl is at this party
Sittin' in V.I.P.
Somebody's girl is at this party
And she's comin' home with me

The moral of the story if you love your bitch
You better - hold your hoe, hug your bitch
You better - slow your roll, trick some bread
When she wanna go out, you like Craig and 'em said
"See ya when I see ya," now she's callin' me up
And I'm like, "Geah, of course I wanna chill"
Now she with the real, and you all fed
Like, "I'ma crack her motherfuckin' fo'head!"

Somebody's girl is at this party
Shakin' that ass to this
Somebody's girl is at this party
Drink that glass of Cris'
Somebody's girl is at this party
Sittin' in V.I.P.




Somebody's girl is at this party
And she's comin' home with me

Overall Meaning

In the song “Somebody’s Girl,” R. Kelly and Jay-Z describe a party where a woman, who belongs to somebody else, is present. The woman is dancing, drinking, and sitting in VIP, and both R. Kelly and Jay-Z are interested in taking her home with them. While Jay-Z is willing to take any opportunity that presents itself, he is adamant that he doesn't really care about the woman’s significant other, and he only wants to take her home with him. R. Kelly, on the other hand, is more diplomatic and believes that men should respect their partners and keep a close eye on them to prevent such situations from happening.


The lyrics of the song depict the objectification of women, showcasing how men are more interested in women for their bodies rather than their personalities or emotions. It highlights the idea that women are merely objects that men can pursue and take home with them without any regard for them or their current relationships. Furthermore, the song shows how men tend to encourage each other to cheat on their significant others without considering the emotional impact on their partners.
