MONOPOLY
Ariana Grande & Victoria Monét Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been on a roll, where have you been?
Real protective with my soul, where you been?
Is your GPS even on, where you been?
Matter of fact, I don't even care where you been
Bad vibes, get off of me
Treat my goals like property
Collect them like Monopoly
I probably
Won't come if there's not a fee
And if they try come stoppin' me
I swerve both ways, dichotomy
I like women and men (Yeah)
Work so fuckin' much, need a twinny, twin, twin
How you hit the club and you barely got in?
Then we hit the bank, making them investments for the win, oh
Said, I been on a roll, where have you been? (Where you been?)
Real protective with my soul, where have you been? (Where you been?)
Is your GPS even on, where have you been? (Where you been?)
Matter of fact, I don't even care where you been
Bad vibes, get off of me
Outta here with that fuckery
Treat my goals like property
Collect them like Monopoly
I probably
Won't come if there's not a fee
And if they try come stoppin' me
I show them my discography (Yeah, yeah)
I like women and men (Yeah)
Work so fuckin' much, need a twinny, twin, twin (Yeah)
You'd be straight for life if I gave you my PIN (Yeah)
Even though we gave up that 90% for the win, go
I've been on a roll, where have you been? (Where you been?)
Real protective with my soul, where have you been? (Where you been?)
Is your GPS even on, where have you been? (Where you been?)
Matter of fact, I don't even care where you been
Yeah, hell no
I don't even care where you been (Oh, yeah)
Hell no (Oh, yeah)
Said I don't even care
Remember when we made a fuckin' album off that Clicquot? (Ooh)
I never track my vocals, so shout out to Eric Vetro (I love Vetro, man)
This been buildin' up, I guess this friendship like Home Depot (Ooh)
I'm so thankful working with my best friend, she the cheat code
She the cheat code (Yeah!)
Where you at? Where you been? (Oh yeah)
Where you been? Where you at, ho? Hey (Where you been?)
Where you at? Where you been, ho? Hey (Mmm, yeah)
I don't care where you been, ho (Been)
Where you been Cletus?
Yeah, who? (What?) Clevis?
Who the fuck is Cletus?
It's from, um
Cletus? Girl
Nutty Professor
We have to wrap, 5, 6, 7, 8
Yeah
The lyrics to Ariana Grande's song "Monopoly" are a proclamation of self-confidence and success. Grande asserts her independence and agency, noting that she has been on a roll, while also questioning the whereabouts of others who may have doubted or overlooked her in the past. She emphasizes the importance of protecting her personal goals and treating them like property, to be collected like Monopoly pieces. This serves as a metaphor for her determination to succeed and accumulate her desired achievements. Additionally, she highlights her desire to surround herself with positive energy and cut out negativity, as she declares "Bad vibes, get off of me" multiple times in the chorus.

To everyone making huge discussions about the trump head:
Just stop. You’re causing unnecessary drama. Just say that it’s funny, don’t say anything bad about anyone. I know you’re just looking at this comment and cussing me out, but seriously, it’s music. Just enjoy it.
So yeah, trump stans, don’t get enraged
Trump haters, don’t go on about it.
Finish? 😃

How is this low budget? And I don't think that was the point they were trying to make. They were trying to find a creative way for Victoria to come out
