Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus]
I said I see some ladies in here tonight I might marry
Gone of the Belvee’ and ‘tron it’s too scary
Baby you can have whatever you like, the tooth fairy
I’ll do anything to leave here tonight with you, cherie
I said I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
(You know I do)
I said I do I do I do I do I do
(You know I do)
I said I do I do I do I do I do
(You know I do)
I said I do I do I do I do I do

I said now what it is, what it do, home girl ain't got a clue
If I get you open all the things that I would do to you
Smack it up, flip it down, weigh it up, break it down
Lean you to ya side yeah and ask ya who’s ya daddy now
Ain't even gotta open your eyes, know what your looking at
And I ain't even have to open my eyes when I was cooking that
Guess it was love at first sight, eye contact
Remember the night we first met, I caught a contact
Now she's my ride or die, it’s us against the world
You know we both hustlin’ so hustlin’ is our world
Said I must've had too much to drink I’m in my G-Mode
So all the ladies repeat after me cause it’s the G-Code
Promise if I get locked, you’ll come and pay my bond
If you hear some niggas plotting on me, you’ll ring the alarm
And every time you give it to me it’s gon be the bomb
And in these unlucky streets you’re gon’ be my lucky charm

[Chorus]

(Man, that boy so cold, give him a blanket in here)

I D-O, I D-O, I D-O oh oh
I, Vito, promise to treat this game, I D-O
Honor the code, not bring drama to mama’s peephole
Life’s a bitch but she's the only love that I know -ow -ow
So la-a-dee, after the “I Do’s” lets do Mercedes
Lets tie the knot, lets grab us a pot, lets make a baby
Looking back, I don’t know who threw this bouquet to me
But I walk down this aisle faithfully, cut that cake for me
I, Jay-Z, take this unlawful lady to have and to hold
And 'til the task force roll
To hug her every corner 'til I get ash from the cold
Or until I’ve amassed a fortune, too much cash for me to fold
Fold under pressure I would never, ever, ever, ever
Your secrets I treasure, for better or worse
You’ll always be my first love 'til death do us part
Pull a hearse up, my verse up

[Chorus]

Nothing's more attractive than a heavy praying woman
To a him and those and them been defecating on me (ughh)
Her would sense the heaven, and him when Andre omen
Baby I’m hell, save me, don’t bail
Crazy I tell you all of this in the middle of a club
Where words tend to get thrown around lightly like like like "love"
"Friend," "rock star" and "So and so’s a genius"
So him vow to never utter him do unless him mean it
Her proud like her mother and ooohh momma’s sweet
So you just know that Juicy fruit ain't gon’ fall too far from tree
So if we ever woop the woop
I want all that bleepty bleep
On this nasty carpet Bixby fresh on one knee
Say I do I do I do I do I do
So we can float up outta here in this hot air balloon
Lets put a baby butterfly up in your lil’ cocoon
And maybe twenty-thirty our baby, she’ll be nerdy make the whole club swoon

She'll love books and cook and look just like you




And when she's done being young, she'll dress like you
We'll call her Love twenty-two, she'll tote a twenty-two, the laser version

Overall Meaning

In this song, the artists are expressing their love and admiration for the women they see in the club. Jeezy starts off by noticing some ladies he might want to marry and being scared of the mixture of drinks he is consuming. He then tells the women that they can have whatever they like, even the tooth fairy if that’s what they want. All he wants is to leave with them that night. The chorus repeats the phrase “I do” to emphasize their devotion to these women. Jeezy then proceeds to explain that he doesn’t need to know the woman's name or anything else about her because his attraction is immediate. He’s confident in his game and what he can do to make her feel good. He then reminisces about the first time he saw his ride or die girl and declares that she's his lucky charm in these streets. Jay-Z comes in with his verse and promises to honor the G-Code (street code of ethics), not bring any drama to his mom's home, and always hold his lady down. He then vows to love her until the end of time and even explains how he would never fold under pressure since he treasures his partner without any regard for what the world has to say. Andre 3000 finishes the song by praising his girl for her motherly qualities and for being his “heaven.” He also promises to put a baby inside her so that they can be lifelong partners.
