Dream Girl
Teepee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hop off my flight first night down in Jozi
Fresh off the plane in a world where no one knows me
Hit the hotel drop off bags take a shower
Got a show later on at the Blues Room (Di ya wa!)
Get to the venue continue my mission
Got stopped in the tracks by the most beautiful vision
Had the body of a goddess a glow of a halo
I asked her what's her name she told me it was Lebo
We flirted back and forth with a lil' conversation
Did my show and came back she was still on location
Just waiting for a brother to get a lil' closer
After a couple of shots got her clicking like a Xhosa
But life in the fast lane she speaking to her heart
All of a sudden she's mad it ain't even my fault
Here's some other chick cooking up schemes and throwing salt
But she shattered all my dreams this is what I mean

She was hot and she knew it
She always looked like there's a video she's shooting
And she wanted nothing to do with a brother
Cause some girl told her I'm her baby father

She had the whole picture painted
Even when I explain it, it always comes out tainted
Poison she's mad cause I started avoiding her
Most senses flaming cause she seeing where I'm aiming at
I found me a the one that I might be claiming
You looking way better of course she's hating
Me and your conversation is most relating
And it must got her thinking I'm mad he made it
Think about all the times that I tried to be cool with her
She talk about her friends in the ways that are doing her
I was so single I was cool without delay
But the day that it changed it damn near ruined her
I wasn't pursuing her job like shoes wanna
To hard to thrust the way the wind be moving her
She's the queen of twisting some words around
Trying to stop nature but the rain keep falling down

She was hot and she knew it
She always looked like there's a video she's shooting
And she wanted nothing to do with a brother
Cause some girl told her I'm her baby father
She's lying to my dream girl
My dream girl
My dream girl
Why she lying to my dream girl (My dream girl)
My dream girl
My dream girl

Don't mind them girl they're trying to get to you
They know I'm crazy over you
They can try as hard as they can but girl
No matter what they do
I'm gon stay loving you

Dream girl o ska tlo imakatsa
Like you don't know about baby mama
Like you don't know about my drama
The last thing I want to hear before ke itlama
Is to hear you yapping like o thak'a ka
Going on like O ska tlo ikgakatsa
Ska ntwantsha o ska ntshwela ka mathe mokgatsaka
Because that bull crap you read my Facebook ke maka
Take a two step get the hell out pela ka

She was hot and she knew it
She always looked like there's a video she's shooting
And she wanted nothing to do with a brother
Cause some girl told her I'm her baby father
She's lying to my dream girl
My dream girl
My dream girl
Why she lying to my dream girl




My dream girl
My dream girl

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Teepee's song "Dream Girl" tell a story of a man who meets a beautiful woman named Lebo while on tour in Jozi (Johannesburg). Attracted to her, they engage in flirtation and conversation, and he is drawn to her. However, there are complications in their budding relationship. The man faces jealousy and interference from another woman who is spreading false rumors about him being her baby's father. This causes tension and mistrust between him and Lebo. The song captures the man's frustration as he realizes that his dream girl is being influenced by lies and deceit.


One interesting fact about the song is that Teepee is a South African musician known for blending various genres such as hip-hop, pop, and R&B in his music. "Dream Girl" exemplifies his fusion style by incorporating elements of hip-hop in the verses and a catchy pop chorus.


Another interesting fact is that Jozi is a colloquial term for Johannesburg, the largest city in South Africa. Teepee's reference to Jozi adds authenticity and local flavor to the song.


The lyrics also highlight the influence of social media, particularly Facebook, in relationships. The mention of someone reading "bull crap" on the singer's Facebook page implies that false information or gossip may have spread through social media, contributing to the conflicts in the song.


The use of the word "skhothane" in the lyrics is significant. Skhothane is a popular youth subculture in South Africa associated with extravagant displays of wealth and fashion. By referencing skhothane culture in the line "Dream girl o ska tlo imakatsa," Teepee suggests that the dream girl in the song may be caught up in superficial or materialistic notions of status and appearance.


The chorus of the song, with its repetition of "Why she lying to my dream girl," conveys the singer's despair and confusion over the deception and betrayal he experiences.


Overall, "Dream Girl" portrays a tale of love, jealousy, and the challenges of navigating relationships in a world influenced by rumors and false perceptions.
