I don't know how he treat you
How they do it where you at
But all I'm tryna say is
(Where you at?) I'm just sayin' (it's the R&B Killah)
I'm just sayin' (you should know me like that)
(It's the R&B Killah)
Your man said get my money up (killah, Killah)
Get my money up
So I went and got my money up
And now I got this money up
I'm on the H-A-W-A-I-I
Dream dropped another one
Tell them niggas bye-bye
I got girls in the club
Girls in the church
Pull 'em all day
I take 'em off work
Got girls in the draft
Girls on my label
Girls at the bank
'Cause I'm about my paper
Got girls with weave
Girls without it
She like, "this all mine"
"Hmmm, I doubt it"
Girls in New York
Girls in L.A.
Got girls in Miami
Or wherever you stay
Got girls in Chicago
Girls in Toronto
Girls in Paris
Go anywhere I wanna go
Half to my main girl
Quarter to my side chick
I be on that fly shit
And you be on my shit
Your nigga keep playin'
Change where you layin'
I'm just sayin'
L to the O
V to the E

I don't know how he treat you
How they do it where you at
But all I'm tryna say is

I got girls in heels
Girls in Adidas

Tameka, Fatima
Got girls on the Nuvo
Girls on Patron
Girls on that Belvedere
Pay me for the song
Got girls on my Sprint
My AT&T
Got girls on T-Mobile
Metro if it's local
Some fly private
Some fly Delta
Some of 'em act sidity
Some of 'em do whatever
Got a girl that's shy
A girl that's a freak
Got a girl when I'm sick
She watch what I eat
Got a girl up in Target
A girl outta college
Sorry ladies, but it ain't nothing like a smart bitch
Half to my main girl
Quarter to my side chick
I be on that fly shit
And you be on my shit
Your nigga keep playin'
Change where you layin'
I'm just sayin'

You should, ooh, whoa
If your man ain't treating you right
Shawty, let me get a "ooh, whoa" (ooh, whoa)
If your man ain't paying you right
Shawty let me get a "ooh, whoa" (ooh, whoa)
If your hair stay done
And your nails stay fixed
Put your hands in the air
If you know you the shit
Let me get a "uh, uh, uh, uh, ooh, whoa"
Let me get a "uh, uh, uh, uh, ooh, whoa"

The lyrics of Love King by The-Dream are a bold and confident declaration of the artist's prowess as a lover. He begins by spelling out the word "love king" and suggesting that the listener should be familiar with him and his skills in that realm. He then boasts about his wealth and success, claiming that he has "girls in the club" and "girls on [his] label." He seems to be saying that he is such a powerful figure in the music industry that he can have any woman he wants.
However, the song also includes commentary on the way that some men mistreat women. The-Dream acknowledges that he doesn't know how the listener's current partner treats them, but suggests that if they aren't being treated well, they should give him a chance to show them how it feels to be truly appreciated. He also refers to different types of women, including those who are "siddy" (i.e. pretentious) and those who are more down-to-earth. The overall message of the song seems to be that The-Dream is a confident and successful man who knows what he wants and how to treat a woman right.
