Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ayo Ferg
Yeah
Ride with the mob, Alhamdulillah
Check in with me and do your job
Ferg is the name, Ben Baller did the chain
Tourneau for the watch, presi Plain Jane
Yamborghini chain, rest in peace to my superior
Hermès link could feed a village in Liberia
TMZ taking pictures, causin' mad hysteria
Momma see me on BET and started tearin' up
I'ma start killin' niggas, how you get that trife?
I attended Harlem picnics where you risked your life
Uncle used to skim work, sellin' nicks at night
I was only 8 years old, watching Nick at Nite
Uncle Psycho was in that bathroom buggin'
Knife to his guts, hope Daddy don't cut him
Suicidal thoughts brought to me with no advisory
He was pitchin' dummy, sellin' fiends mad Ivory
Grandma had the arthritis in her hands, bad
She was poppin' pills like rappers in society
I fuck yo bitch for the irony
I'll send Meechy at yo hoe if yo bitch keep eyein' me
Ride with the mob, Alhamdulillah
Check in with me and do your job
Ferg is the name, Ben Baller did the chain
Tourneau for the watch, presi Plain Jane
Ride with the mob, Alhamdulillah
Check in with me and do your job
Ferg is the name, Ben Baller did the chain
Tourneau for the watch, presi Plain Jane
Suck a nigga dick or somethin' (Yeah)
Suck a nigga dick or somethin' (You already know, Harlem)
Suck a nigga dick or somethin' (Queens)
Suck a nigga dick or somethin' (Queens for the Kings of the Queens)
Ayo, I'ma explain why you probably never see me
I push a Lamborghini, chocha magic like Houdini
My body shaped like Jeannie, booty dreamy, waist is teeny
Yes, I told him to get TIDAL so he stream me when he leave me
I go hard in the booth, Biggie vibes, gimme the loot
I'm a classy millionaire, bitches ain't got the couth
C-O-U-T-H 'cause you can't spell it either
If I call him then he comin' home running, Derek Jeter
Bitches must be eatin' ass because I swear they're bottom-feeders
Hoe, you know that you my son, I shoulda scrapped you as a fetus
All these bitches rockin' inches 'cause they followin' the leader
I should switch it up on hoes and rock a Afro like Lupita's
I don't keep up with the Joneses but I do know Catherine Zeta
I'm with Candice, TT, Thembi, and Viola, mi amiga
Rap bitches, they gotta check in with the Queen
I'm the Alpha, the Omega, everything in between, uh
Ride with Minaj, mmh, Mashallah
Check in with me, then do your job
Queen is the name, Rafaello did the chain
This is MONSE, Patty Plain Jane
Ride with Minaj, mmh, Mashallah
Check in with me, then do your job
Queen is the name, Rafaello did the chain
This is MONSE, Patty Plain Jane
Eat a Barbie ass or somethin'
Eat a Barbie ass or somethin'
Eat a Barbie ass or somethin'
Eat a Barbie ass or somethin'
Kirk Kneezy on the beat (Brrt)
Yo, you know this here for the city, nigga
Gold chains, Plain Janes, and all that good stuff, nigga
The Plain Jane REMIX by A$AP Ferg and Nicki Minaj is a remix to the hit song, Plain Jane, which talks about their riches, success, and power. The first verse by A$AP Ferg speaks about his experiences in Harlem when he was growing up. He pays homage to his friend, A$AP Yams, with the lyrics, "Yamborghini chain, rest in peace to my superior." He also talks about his life growing up, including how his uncle used to sell drugs, and his grandmother's struggle with arthritis. Despite these struggles, he has made it to BET and is now doing well for himself. The chorus, "Ride with the mob, Alhamdulillah, Check in with me and do your job," speaks to how he is living his life now and how he expects those around him to behave.
Nicki Minaj jumps in for the second verse and speaks about her life as a rapper, her riches, and her place in the industry. She talks about her body and how it is shaped like Jeannie, with a "booty dreamy" and a "waist teeny." She references other famous people such as Derek Jeter, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Lupita Nyong'o. The chorus then repeats, with Nicki Minaj replacing A$AP Ferg's original lyrics with her own, including the line, "Queen is the name, Rafaello did the chain," which speaks to both her title in the rap industry and the quality of her jewelry.
Overall, the song is all about power, riches, and success. Both artists use their verses to detail their achievements and their unfettered rise to the top. It is a song of conquest, and they are making it known that they are not to be messed with.
