Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Up in the club, but you left your man home
You couldn't even wait till we got to the bedroom
I know it ain't good, but these hoes gon' do what they want, want
Pull up in a Porsche, no rental
No key, now she on me
Know the star shit fucking with your mental
Now we chilling poolside for the night
Hollywood sign, I ain't caught up in the lights
Trigga baby, I'mma do you right
Don't make me have to tell you twice, I

Real nigga know love, man I swear these hoes triflin', uh

In Trey Songz's song Dead Wrong, he sings about a woman who is cheating on her man. Trey is in the club with this woman, and they end up hooking up, despite her having a boyfriend at home. Trey tells her that he knows she's in the wrong, and that he understands that she's only doing what she wants. He then goes on to describe the various women he's been with, and how he doesn't want to settle down with any of them, even though he likes to have sex with them. Throughout the song, he emphasizes that it's the pretty ones that you should be wary of, as they may have their own motives.
The lyrics in this song are quite straightforward, with Trey essentially singing about his experiences with women who cheat on their significant others. He acknowledges the fact that he himself may not be the best guy, but he also doesn't condone cheating. However, he seems to have a certain amount of respect for these women, even if he doesn't necessarily think they're doing the right thing.
