Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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 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

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

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

The lyrics to Young Jeezy's song "I Do" tell the story of a man who is at a club and sees some ladies he might marry. He's had some drinks, and he's feeling good. He tells one woman that he'll do anything to leave with her tonight. The following verse is a description of the things he would do to her, but they are not particularly important to the overall meaning of the song. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I do" to signify his dedication to the woman he's trying to woo.


The second verse is a continuation of the first verse, but this time Juicy J is the one rapping. He talks about how nothing is more attractive than a praying woman and how he wants to be saved by one. He then transitions to talking about a woman he met who he wants to marry. He talks about how proud she is like her mother and how if they ever get married, they'll have a baby together.


The final verse is Jay-Z's verse, and he talks about how he's taking this woman to have and to hold until death do them part. He says he'll stay with her through thick and thin and that nothing can break their bond. The song ends with the chorus again, repeating the line "I do."

We have already imagined our future child's name and personality, and she may even eventually own a gun for self-defense purposes.
