'03 Bonnie & Clyde (feat. Jay-Z)

Uhh, uhh, uhh
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
This necklace the reason all of my dates been blind dates
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

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)
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)

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 be-atch, 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)
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)

(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
And all of 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)
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)

Cumplicidade e Poder: A Análise de '03 Bonnie & Clyde de Beyoncé e Jay-Z

A música '03 Bonnie & Clyde', interpretada por Beyoncé em colaboração com Jay-Z, é uma ode à cumplicidade e lealdade em um relacionamento amoroso. A letra faz referência direta aos infames criminosos americanos Bonnie e Clyde, que se tornaram conhecidos por sua série de roubos e fugas da lei durante a Grande Depressão. A comparação com o casal de fora da lei serve como metáfora para a intensidade e a profundidade do compromisso entre os dois amantes retratados na canção.

No contexto da música, Jay-Z e Beyoncé descrevem um relacionamento onde ambos são parceiros iguais, apoiando-se mutuamente em todas as circunstâncias. A letra fala sobre compartilhar um estilo de vida luxuoso e glamouroso, mas também destaca a importância de ter alguém para confiar quando as coisas ficam difíceis. A repetição do refrão 'All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend' (Tudo que eu preciso nesta vida de pecado é eu e minha namorada) e sua contraparte masculina enfatiza a ideia de que, para eles, o amor verdadeiro é o suficiente para enfrentar qualquer desafio.

Além disso, a música aborda a questão do respeito dentro de um relacionamento. Jay-Z critica aqueles que não distinguem entre o amor e o desejo passageiro, sugerindo que um verdadeiro parceiro deve ser tratado com exclusividade e consideração. Beyoncé, por sua vez, reforça essa noção com sua promessa de lealdade e confiança. A colaboração entre Beyoncé e Jay-Z não é apenas um dueto musical, mas também um reflexo de sua própria relação, que muitas vezes é vista como um exemplo de parceria poderosa no mundo do entretenimento.
