Yayo, yayo

Yayo

Bitch better have my money
Y'all should know me well enough
Bitch better have my money
Please don't call me on my bluff
Pay me what you owe me
Ballin' bigger than LeBron
Bitch, give me your money
Who y'all think y'all frontin' on?
Like bra, bra, bra

Louis XIII, and it's all on me, nigga, you just bought a shot
Kamikaze, if you think that you gon' knock me off the top
Shit, your wife in the backseat of my brand new foreign car
Don't act like you forgot
I call the shots, shots, shots
Like bra, bra, bra
Pay me what you owe me, don't act like you forgot

Bitch better have my money
Bitch better have my money
Pay me what you owe me
Bitch better have my (bitch better have my)
Bitch better have my (bitch better have my)
Bitch better have my money

Turn up to Rihanna while the whole club fuckin' wasted
Every time I drop, I am the only thing y'all playin'
In a drop top, doin' hundred, y'all in my rearview mirror racin'
Where y'all at? Where y'all at? Where y'all at?
Like bra, bra, bra

Louis XIII, and it's all on me, nigga, you just bought a shot
Kamikaze, if you think that you gon' knock me off the top
Shit, your wife in the backseat of my brand new foreign car
Don't act like you forgot
I call the shots, shots, shots
Like bra, bra, bra
Pay me what you owe me, don't act like you forgot

Bitch better have my money
Bitch better have my money
Pay me what you owe me
Bitch better have my (bitch better have my)
Bitch better have my (bitch better have my)
Bitch better have my money
Bitch better have my money
Pay me what you owe me
Bitch better have my (bitch better have my)
Bitch better have my (bitch better have my)
Bitch better have my money

Bitch better have my money
Bitch better have my money
Bitch, bitch, bitch better have my money
Yo, that bitch better have my money
Hold up
My money
Yo, my money
That bitch better have my money
Bitch better have my money

Overall Meaning

In "Bitch Better Have My Money," Rihanna asserts her power and demands that someone who owes her money pay up. The lyrics are straightforward and assertive, making it clear that Rihanna is not to be messed with. She warns the person that they should know her well enough to pay up and not try to call her bluff. Rihanna compares herself to basketball star LeBron James, emphasizing her own success and power. She also makes sure to remind the debtor that she "calls the shots" and that they should not forget to pay her what they owe. The second verse references alcohol and infidelity, suggesting that the person who owes her money may have spent it on luxuries instead of paying her back.


One interpretation of the song is that it is a message to the music industry, where artists often struggle to get paid what they are owed. Rihanna has been open about her experiences with financial struggles early in her music career, so this song could be seen as a way for her to assert her power and demand that those who owe her money pay up. Another interpretation is that the song is a message to anyone who underestimates or tries to take advantage of Rihanna. The lyrics make it clear that she cannot be messed with and that anyone who tries to cross her will regret it.
