The Trip
Wale & DJ Omega Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Okay my game tight My game right
Don't even know her name until I know her taste right.
I said my game tight My game tight
Don't even know her name until I know her taste right.

Passion that she's asking for Her man always slacking, no?
That why when he outta town I make sure she is not alone
That's when she gon hit my phone and tell me what's been goin on
Tell me whats been on her mind and I'm inclined to know some mo'
Tired at her normal seat 9 to 5 is all it be
Cubical small as shit and coworkers is talkative
(?) don't call the crib boyfriend on that jealous shit
He fathers her only kid that's why my homies let him live
But Friday night she gon make him babysit we gon blow that haze a bit
And get away from all of it See it's not right
But it's okay you see our love is just not the same
Cause any woman lacking love deserves is entitled to a get away.

[Chorus]

[Skit]

Good love then I can do that for her
I can do that to a nigga and make a pool on her
It's temporary lust you need an in showing
And for the time being lets me in love with the moment
Okay you dancing drinking on your last one
Im just tryna poker face that's why I got my hand in
Grown man shit tonight no romance shit and you should
make this bedroom like Monday night at magic
Like a (Gigi mcguire?) now let me up inside
I give you that massage good hygiene is required ion want no dirty junk
I just want a girly girly that own a rack of Jordan
but don't sport em cause she love her pumps
Give my love to no one else kiss that cookie til it
melt I am going underwater...micheal phelps
Do it til I'm tired or your homegirl can provide the
help or you can be ms independent make that movie by yourself





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wale & DJ Omega's song "The Trip" depict a narrative of a man who is involved in a casual relationship with a woman who is dissatisfied with her current partner. The opening lines suggest that the singer is confident in his ability to attract women, emphasizing that he doesn't even bother to learn their names until he understands their preferences. This sets the tone for a relationship based on physical attraction and short-term pleasure.


The lyrics go on to describe the woman's longing for passion and attention, which her partner fails to provide. When her partner is away, she reaches out to the singer, sharing her thoughts and seeking connection. The singer acknowledges the woman's dissatisfaction and sympathizes with her situation, highlighting her mundane job and gossipy coworkers. While the singer's friends allow her partner to live because he is the father of her child, the woman uses Fridays as an opportunity to escape from her responsibilities, leaving her partner to babysit while she indulges in some recreational drug use with the singer.


The chorus speaks to the idea that their love is different and justifies their actions, suggesting that any woman lacking love deserves a getaway. The skit that follows portrays the singer offering temporary lust and pleasure to the woman, who is free to enjoy herself without the complications of emotional attachment. The lyrics emphasize the importance of living in the moment and engaging in adult activities, without any romantic expectations. The song ends with a suggestion of additional sexual experiences with the woman's friends or the possibility of her independently exploring her own desires.


Overall, "The Trip" presents a narrative of escapism, temporary lust, and a lack of commitment in relationships. It explores themes of dissatisfaction, longing for passion, and the pursuit of pleasure without emotional attachment.
