2 Reasons
Trey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell the DJ turn it up
Bet the DJ bring it back
Tell him play that shit again
Tell him that you like that, like that, oh!
(Trey, I ain't got but 2 reasons to be here man)
All the ballers poppin' bottles

I know it's somebody birthday
Right now, right now, right now, right now, right now
Yeah and somebody gettin' drunk too
Right now, right now, right now, right now, right now
Catch me in the club like I own that bitch
Shawty dancing like she own that dick
Bad bitches never hold back
Send me a picture, where your phone at?

I only came here for 2 reasons
I came for (Whatchu came for?)
I only came for the bitches and the drinks
Bitches and the drinks
Bitches and the drinks
For the bitch, ca-came for the bitches and the drinks
Bitches and the drinks
Bitches and the drinks (What you came for?)
Baby get your glass up
Only came for bitches and the drinks
Baby get your ass up
That's what I came for

I see you tryin' to handcuff her on the street
Stop trippin' you can't control that freak
Ain't nobody got a body like hers
Ghetto booty, but she came from the burbs
Got a dark skinned girl dancin' on me
Two white girls dancin' on me
Bad yellow bone, yeah I'm in my zone
Waitress keep comin' back, so you know we hella gone

I only came here for 2 reasons
I came for (Whatchu came for?)
I only came for the bitches and the drinks
Bitches and the drinks
Bitches and the drinks
For the bitch, ca-came for the bitches and the drinks
Bitches and the drinks
Bitches and the drinks (What you came for?)
Baby get your glass up
Only came for bitches and the drinks
Baby get your ass up
That's what I came for

I hit the club and buy the bar
In VIP just see my partners and a lot of broads
And such a GIP jam bottle poppin', party hard
I'm done with today, I'm lookin' for tomorrow
All I do is turn up, ain't no dough it don't concern us
All this bubble kush I burn up, special, regular, reward us
Turn the corners fishtailin' out the parking lot yellin'
Bankhead! West side! Eight or nine chicks trailin'
Right behind us, been this way since we were minors
If it wasn't for the chicks up in this bitch you wouldn't find us
Even way out in China, same thing when I came through the door
Like, here you go again (where the bitches and the drink, yo)

I only came for the bitches and the drinks
Bitches and the drinks
Bitches and the drinks (You need to know what I came for)
Bitches and the drinks
Bitches and the drinks
Bitches and the drinks (You know know what I came for)
Baby get your glass up
Only came for bitches and the drinks
Baby get your ass up
That's what I came for

Hey girl you heard what I said, get your ass up
If you hot, you cold, you Florida, Alaska
Chicago, Virginia, New York City
Houston where the girls all thick
LA, the Bay, tell your girl 'bout this
Matter fact tell the whole GA
Ooh, you know they fine up and down the Carolinas
Shout to every ten I see when I'm down in Tennessee

I only came here for 2 reasons




I came for (Whatchu came for?)
I only came for the bitches and the drinks

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Trey Songz and T.I.'s song "2 Reasons" describe the party lifestyle of the two artists. The chorus declares their sole purpose for attending the club is "the bitches and the drinks" - all they came for. The first verse references partying for someone's birthday and encouraging the DJ to repeat a particular song. The second verse describes the two artists surrounded by beautiful women, including dark-skinned, white, and "bad yellow bone" women. Meanwhile, the third verse is focused on T.I.'s confidence and wealth, making it clear that he's looking to party hard today and every day thereafter.


The song itself was written by Trey Songz and T.I. and released under Atlantic Records. It heavily features more party-centric themes and lyricism than most of Trey Songz's typical work. The title of the song comes from Trey Songz's statement that he has only two reasons to be at any particular club - the drinks and the women. This view of women in the club as commodities to be consumed and used rather than partners to engage with has been the subject of some criticism from feminist audiences.


Overall, the song is a straightforward party track celebrating hedonism and self-gratification. There is little depth to the lyrics or meaning beyond the glitz and glamour of the lifestyle that the two artists are portraying.
