“Boyfriend” was written by Kanye from the vantage point of himself as a five-year-old watching his mother entertain a slew of love interests.
West raps, "Trying to get to know me homey, just kill the charm/ You ain't interested in me, you just trying to f--- my mom."
Expressing his displeasure in one particular suitor, Kanye declares, "I ain't going to sleep no time soon, and when I do, I'm sleepin' in my Mama's room."
Towards the end of the track, West realizes that he’s become like the men he hated as a child. "I never liked you n---as, who knew one day I'd be just like you n---as?"
