Replacement Girl
Trey Songz feat. Drake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me show you what it is
I was birthed up top but was raised at the bottom of the map
Where the girls all thick and the hottest niggas rap
If you lookin for the good then we got in the trap like
Ooo wee
Took 'em from white snakes to
This metaphor might sound a little confusing but
Y'all don't really know me if you know me
I done come all way from the Days Inn and all the hotels that I stayed in
I took my lifestyle from mediocre to good and now I say it's sittin' at amazing
Girls tryin SoHo lobby us
Hear 'em all screamin then it's probably is
But I can't blame females, females can't really ignore something this obvious
What you really expect when I strut through town
Two or three days I shut you down
Chilin' wit' the homie Trey Songz
You call him the prince he rep two up two down
Anyone I know get used to me
I'm far from the man that I used to be
I don't ever really kick game
I know you find it impressive whenever you introduced to me
'Cause I'm a good dude who take pride in that
Need good lovin' I'm providing that
Understand that I'm worldwide
You get it how you want it wherever you be residing at
'Cause I do things from the M-town
To the UK
From Spain back out to Texas
This album's for my fans
But, yo, this hook is for my exes
This one is for you girl
You know who you are girl
You only show your face
'Cause you know that I'm a star girl
What you trying to to make it
Don't ever mistake it
Girl my time is limited and I ain't trying to waste it all on you
You had a chance now It's gone
Ooh, you had a man now you don't
Back to the basics, I think I made it
Ladies make some noise if you wanna be my replacement girl
Ain't ya never seen a youngin' so fly
Lookin for someone your type
I done left behind the love of my life
Tryin' to find another one tonight
And if it's you baby, let yourself be seen
Don't matter skirts, dresses or jeans
I got that work, know what I mean
And I'm flexin' on my ex if you know what mean
This one is for you girl
You know who you are girl
You only show your face
'Cause you know that I'm a star girl
What you trying to to make it
Don't ever mistake it
Girl my time is limited and I ain't trying to waste it all on you
You had a chance now It's gone
Ooh, you had a man now you don't
Back to the basics, I think I made it
Ladies make some noise if you wanna be my replacement girl
Check this out
From the that she get picked for some take out
Until they slip up and break out
But it's another story over here at Drake's house
Cause I'm dripped up and I'm drapped out
And I'm lean back, scoping
Looking for a woman that I should wife
Who got just the right amount of loyalty
Yeah but is still anticipating us living the good life
We go LA, VA, NY, TO
Sunshine in that heat stroke
And them fur hoods in that deep snow
We have breakfast in the bedroom
Break bread downstairs in the basement
Since Jay and Kelz ain't doing the thing no more
Guess me and the boy Songz is the replacement
This one is for you girl
You know who you are girl
You only show your face
'Cause you know that I'm a star girl
What you trying to to make it
Don't ever mistake it
Girl my time is limited and I ain't trying to waste it all on you
You had a chance now It's gone
Ooh, you had a man now you don't
Back to the basics, I think I made it
Ladies make some noise if you wanna be my replacement girl
In Trey Songz and Drake's song "Replacement Girl," the two artists rap about their lavish lifestyles and the many girls who want to be a part of it. They address a specific girl who had her chance with them and lost it, and now they are on the search for a new "replacement girl" who can keep up with their lifestyle. Trey Songz adds that he was born in an affluent area but raised in a less prosperous one, where the girls are thicker and the rappers are hotter. Drake raps about his worldwide appeal, flexing on his exes and searching for a loyal woman who can join him on his travels and enjoy the good life.
