Venus vs. Mars Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hov's a Blackberry Bold, shorty is a Sidekick
She use to have a man, I use to have side chick
Shorty got wind, I had to blow the chick off
She got rid of him, they both took the shit hard

Shorty played the piano
Me, I played with white keys
Shorty from the South
Oh, I think she like me
Shorty like Pac; Me, Big Poppa
She screaming, "Hit 'em up"
I'm screaming, "Who shot ya"

I'm on that red wine, shorty like white
Same shit, different toilet
We both gettin' nice
Me I'm from the apple, which mean's I'm a Mac
She's a PC, she lives in my lap

[Chorus]
Shorty, get it in
But Daddy go hard [x7]
Shorty get it in...
Venus VS. Mars

[Verse 2]
Whether black or white
We both like Mike
We both like Jordans, both feels nice
I finish my breakfast
Shorty's out to lunch
Yeah, we both eatin'
It's better than brunch

Shorty like Pepsi
Me, I'm the Coke man
Body like a Coke bottle, I crush her like a Coke can
Started at the window, end up at the wall
The ying to my yang, I skeet skeet off

I sort of like the back, shorty like the front
The Bonnie to my Clyde, both riding shotgun
Both covered in gold like C3P0
James and Florida Evans, let the good times roll

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Thought shorty was the truth, found out she was a cheater
We were suppose to take over, I caught her bumpin' 'Ether'
I thought shorty liked Mike, found out she liked Prince
I thought she was Adrian, it's been rocky ever since

My dollars was down, she left me for some euros
Took my whole flavor, I call her Coke Zero
We were Co-MVP's, like Kobe & Shaq
Left me for the Heat, we were winning back to back
Said I party to much, shorty got fed up
Shorty got Britney, shaved her whole head up
We use to make out, kissing each others face off
Fell for the ponzi-scheme, damn shorty just made-off

[Chorus]

Very simple. Its about how J was dating a girl who eventually cheated on him. The chorus is a flashback of their intimacy. The song first showcases them as being inseparable, being very compatible - like the Apple & Mac reference. The second verse is them still loving each other but becoming bored of one another. In the third, they are complete opposites. Done.

hahhah you broke that shit down man

Though I agree with the general theme you describe above , “wickedsunny” Venus Vs Mars is slightly more than that.

Ok let me have a go …

“Hov's a Blackberry Bold, shorty is a Sidekick She use to have a man, I use to have side chick”

there is too much here , ok “Blackberry Bold“ a very popular business tool... (refrecing how Hov is a popular business, and a connected one , after all is a phone)

Shawty is a Sidekick …”sidekick” , yet another phone device , but the name is a play on words for the girl being a mistress.

“She use to...

What does shawty get it in, daddy go hard mean exactly?

Song Meaning

To "get it in" means to have sex. I'm sure you can figure it out from there, lol. "Daddy go hard" is just more with the sex reference, she wants Jay to give it hard/

i thought it was pretty obvious what this was about... my interpretation was that J was in a relationship with some girl and they didn't really have anything in common and the relationship was really only physical (hence the chorus). for example:

  1. 'Hov's a Blackberry Bold, shorty is a Sidekick'
  2. 'I'm on that red wine, shorty like white'
  3. 'Me I'm from the apple, which mean's I'm a Mac, She's a PC'
  4. 'Shorty like Pepsi, Me, I'm the Coke man'

this highlights the differences between them and that in reality they are polar opposites.

  1. blackberry bold and sidekick - both cell phone devices, but highlighting that they like different things.
  2. red wine and white wine - blatantly obvious contrasting
  3. apple mac vs PC debate, another opposite
  4. again with the opposites, some like pepsi, some like coke.

verse two speaks of their similarities

  1. Whether black or white, We both like Mike etc. however he goes on in the end to say
  2. I thought shorty liked Mike, found out she liked Prince

showing that what they did have in common was just lies in the end...

did this not occur to anyone...?

This is my favorite song from this album, this is how I interpret it: First verse he's talking about him and the girl just meeting & there differences. Shorty like pac; me big poppa she screamin hit em up I'm screamin who shot ya (big poppa and tupac were rivals and hit em up & who shot ya were diss songs) Second verse is when they show their similarities; "started at the window then to the wall the ying to my yang I skeet skeet off" (ying yang twins had a song to the windows to the wall...skeet skeet skeet etc lol) "All covered in gold like C3PThis is my favorite song from this album, this is how I interpret it: First verse he's talking about him and the girl just meeting & there differences.

Shaved her head referrin to brittany spears.

I guess it's about the differences between men and women but at the end he realises that there are not really huge differences.
