Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You ready, B?
Let's go get 'em
Look for me
Young, B, cruisin' down the Westside Highway
Doin' what we like to do, our way
Eyes behind shades
But today I got my thoroughest girl with me
I'm mashin' the gas, she's grabbin' the wheel, it's trippy
How hard she rides with me, the new Bobby and Whitney
Only time we don't speak is during "Sex and the City"
She gets Carrie fever, but soon as the show's over
She's right back to being my soldier
'Cause mami's a rider and I'm a roller
Put us together, how they gon' stop both us?
Whatever she lacks, I'm right over her shoulder
When I'm off track, mami is keepin' me focused
So let's lock this down like it's supposed to be
The '03 Bonnie and Clyde: Hov' and B, holla
All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my girlfriend)
Down to ride 'til the very end, is me and my boyfriend (me and my boyfriend) (that's right)
All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my girlfriend) (look for me)
Down to ride 'til the very end, is me and my boyfriend (me and my boyfriend)
The problem is, you dudes treat the one that you lovin'
With the same respect that you treat the one that you humpin'
That ain't 'bout nothin'
If ever you mad about somethin'
It won't be that, oh no, it won't be that
I don't be at places where we comfy at
With no beatch, oh no, you won't see that
And no, I ain't perfect
Nobody walkin' this earth's surface is
But, girlfriend, work with the kid
I keep you workin' that Hermès Birkin bag
Manolo Blahnik Timbs, Aviator lens
600 drops, Mercedes Benz
The only time you wear Burberry to swim
And I don't have to worry, only worry is him
She do anything necessary for him
And I do anything necessary for her
So don't let the necessary occur, yep
All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my girlfriend)
Down to ride 'til the very end, is me and my boyfriend (me and my boyfriend) (that's right)
All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my girlfriend) (look for me)
Down to ride 'til the very end, is me and my boyfriend (me and my boyfriend)
(Talk to 'em, B) if I was your girlfriend
I'll be there for you, if somebody hurts you
Even if that somebody was me (that's right)
Yeah-hee (break it down for 'em, B)
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be
And so I put this on my life
Nobody or nothing will ever come between us
And I promise I'll give my life
My love and my trust if you was my boyfriend (one more time)
Put this on my life
The air that I breathe in, all that I believe in
I promise I'll give my life
My love and my trust if you was my boyfriend
All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my girlfriend)
Down to ride 'til the very end, is me and my boyfriend (me and my boyfriend) (that's right)
All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my girlfriend)
Down to ride 'til the very end, is me and my boyfriend (me and my boyfriend)

They describe their lifestyle, their loyalty to one another, and how they're together through thick and thin. Beyonce describes herself as a "rider," imagining herself as Jay-Z's partner every step of the way, and she's not afraid to get her hands dirty with him. Together, they're taking life by the horns, living life to the fullest, and not letting anyone else stand in their way.
The song references the famous outlaw duo, Bonnie and Clyde.

They're confident in their love, and they're not afraid to show how committed they are to each other.
In all, the lyrics to "03 Bonnie & Clyde" reinforces the idea that Beyonce and Jay-Z are a partnership, and "me and my boyfriend" is a phrase that speaks to their connection as a couple. Their love is strong, and they're committed to each other through thick and thin.

Look for me! Young, be
Search for me, I'm young and free
Cruisin down the westside - high, way
Driving on the highway on the west side, feeling high
Doing what we like to do - our, way
We live life on our own terms, doing what makes us happy
Eyes behind shades, this necklace the reason
Wearing sunglasses to look cool, and this necklace is the reason why all my dates have been blind dates
All of my dates been blind dates
All of my dates have been arranged through other people and I haven't seen them before
But today, I got my thoroughest girl wit me
Today I have my most loyal girl with me
I´m mashin the gas, she´s grabbin the wheel, it´s true to the heart
I'm driving fast and my girl is grabbing the wheel, we're living life on the edge with our hearts in it
She rides with me - the new Bobby and Whitney
She's my ride or die, like Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston
Only time we don´t speak is during "Sex and the City"
The only time we don't talk to each other is when we're watching the show "Sex and the City" together
She gets Carrie fever, but soon as the show is over
She becomes excited while watching "Sex and the City", but as soon as the show is over, she's back to being my loyal partner
She´s right back to being my soldier
She's back to being my loyal partner
'Cause mami´s a rider, and I´m a roller
She's a loyal partner, and I take risks and make things happen
Put us together, how they gon´ stop both us?
If we're together, who can stop us?
What ever she lacks, I´m right over her shoulder
If she's missing something, I am always there to support and help her
When I´m off track mami is keepin me focused
When I lose focus, my partner keeps me on the right path
So let´s, lock this down like it´s supposed to be
Let's commit to each other and make this relationship official
The ´03 Bonnie and Clyde, Hov´ and be
We are the modern-day Bonnie and Clyde, Hov (Jay-Z) and B (Beyonce)
[Chorus]
Refrain
[Jay] All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend.
All I need in this sinful life is my loyal partner
[Bey] Down to ride ´til the very end, it´s me and my boyfriend.
We will be together until the end, me and my partner
The problem is, you dudes treat the one that you lovin
The issue is that you treat the one you love the same way you treat the one you have casual sex with
With the same respect that you treat the one that you humpin
You treat the person you love and have casual sex with the same way
Now they ´bout nothin - if ever you mad about somethin
Now they don't mean anything to you, even if you're angry about something
It won´t be that; oh no it won´t be that
It won't be like that
I don´t be at, places where we comfy at
I don't go to places where we usually feel comfortable
With no be-atch; oh no you won´t see that
Without other women bothering us, that won't happen
And no, I ain´t perfect - nobody walkin this earth´s surface is
I'm not perfect, and no one else is either
But girlfriend, work with the kid
But my loyal partner, work with me
I keep you workin´ at Hermes, Birkin bag
I keep you working for high-end luxury brands like Hermes and Birkin
Manolo Blahnik, Timbs, aviator lens
I get you expensive fashion items like Manolo Blahnik shoes, Timberland boots, and aviator sunglasses
600 drops, Mercedes Benz
I buy you a Mercedes-Benz convertible worth $600,000
The only time you wear Burberry to swim
The only time you wear Burberry clothing is when you go swimming
And I don´t have to worry, only worry is him
I don't have to worry about anything, except about him
She do anything necessary for him
She will do anything to support and help him
And I do anything necessary for her
I will do anything to support and help her
So don´t let the necessary occur, yep!
Don't let anything bad happen to us, okay?
Talk to ´em B
Speak to them, B (Beyonce)
If I was your girlfriend
If I were your girlfriend
I´ll be there for you, if somebody hurts you
I'll be there for you if anyone hurts you
Even if it´s somebody was me
Even if I was the one who hurt you
Yeah-hee (break it down for ´em)
Yes, break it down for them
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be
Sometimes I imagine how happy we could be
And so I put this on my life
So I swear on my life
Nobody or nothing will ever come between us
Nothing and no one will ever break us apart
And I promise I´ll give my life
I promise I'll sacrifice my life for you
And all of my trust if you was my boyfriend
I'll give you all of my trust if you were my boyfriend
The air that I breathe in, all that I believe in
You are the air that I breathe and the only thing that I believe in
[Chorus]
