Sonically, a light-sounding, sparkly trap beat sets the stage for MadeinTYO’s repetitive but catchy chorus. Heavier drums and bass are then brought into the two verses by New York natives Ferg and Nicki. The pair flow effortlessly, exchanging braggadocios bars packed full of wordplay. Minaj also adopts her quintessential formula of switching from a deep, low-octave voice to a much higher-pitched girly sounding vocal.
The song was first previewed by DJ Clue via Instagram Live on May 11, 2020. Nicki tweeted to fans, telling them to “light up Ferg’s comments everyday” if they wanted it to drop. Rapper and A$AP Mob member A$AP Rocky also co-signed the demand on July 26, which would precede Ferg’s official announcement about its imminent release less than 24 hours later.
This marks Ferg’s third collaboration with Nicki, with the first two being 2017’s “Plain Jane REMIX” and the 2018’s “Runnin” for Creed II’s soundtrack. While also marking the fifth appearance with MadeinTYO—on “One Night Savage,” “Square Bitch,” “WAM” and their 2018 hit, “Ned Flanders.”

She suck on my dick 'til it's numb (yeah, numb)
Pockets is fat like the Klumps (Klumps)
Rappers is lookin' like lunch (lunch)
I'm makin' a meal when I munch (let's go, woo)
Move your hips, okay
When I be leaving, she tell me to stay (ooh)
Got a new loft in Harlem, no, Fergie ain't move to L.A. (woo)

Tell him to go, then I tell him to stay, hey
Baby, it's okay, I have been having one hell of a day, yay
Saint Laurent all on my shades, then I pull up in a cherry Mercedes, yay
Strawberry shortcake hair, Chinese bangs with my two braids, ayy
Straight from out of Queens, headed to Harlem now
I got the panda mink on and it's growlin' now
Already bodied "Plain Jane" and we mobbin' now
That's 'cause all these fake niggas try to rob my style
Yo, these bitches really be slow, tell 'em I'm Billy the GOAT
I'm getting that dough, my neck and my wrist really glow
My model bitch all up in Vogue
All up in Vogue, put on my Versace robe
Streak in my hair like I'm Rogue

They grippin' the .40 below (ah)
Move your hips, okay
