Cardi B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Mmm, mmm, mmm (better stop playin' with me)
(Bitch better stop playin' with me)
Bitter, oh, mad at me, mad at my nigga (better stop playin' with me)
(Better stop playin' with me)
Mmm
Bitter, yeah, mad at me, mad at my nigga
Mad at the fact he ain't witchu
Mad at the fact that it's me
But this shit bigger than me and you alone
So why you puttin' on for the Shade Room and Insta'?
Bitches just be lookin' for attention
Trust me, you can get it (get it)
Pull up whenever, whenever, you know I'm with it
Don't get it twisted
Nothin' like none of these bitches
But sometimes I get in my feelings
Sometimes I know I be trippin' (trippin')
But why these hoes all in our business?
How he don't care 'bout his children? (How he don't care?)
How he's supposed to be there? Y'all won't let him get 'em ('posed to be there)
How you posted like that on the 'Gram for a thousand?
I bet you can't post a picture (bet you can't, bet you can't)
Wonderin' if you even know this bitch, for real
London, did you screw this bitch for real?
Baby on her groupie shit, for real (ah)
And I know she thought she struck when she let a nigga fuck
Man, that bitch is lookin' stuck (stuck as fuck)
And I bet you when you came that she thought she came up
Now that bitch is feelin' dumb (I bet your bitch feelin' dumb)
She prolly thought it came with a million (came with a million)
She prolly thought you'd change how she livin'
Prolly thought that dick came with the fame and the riches
Bitter (bitter)
Mad at me, mad at my nigga
Mad at the fact he ain't witchu
Mad at the fact that it's me
But this shit bigger than me and you alone
So why you puttin' on for the Shade Room and Insta'?
Bitch just be lookin' for attention
Bitter baby mama
Always point her finger at a nigga, whenever it's a problem
Always put the blame on a nigga instead of tryna solve it
Always wanna gossip, her and her frenemy talkin'
But whatever they be sayin' ain't 'bout shit (they ain't 'bout shit)
Thinkin' niggas supposed to pay for they outfit
Gettin' her nails and feet done and her hair did
Yeah, you a ain't shit bitch
Claim you independent but you ain't did shit
Live in Section 8 and still can't pay rent, mm-mm (better stop playin' with me)
You a ain't shit bitch
Send your children with your mama and you ain't raised shit
But you want that child support, what you think this is? Oh (better stop playin' with me)
Just because you let him smash that don't mean he ever knew ya (better stop playin' with me)
Just 'cause y'all got a past, that don't mean y'all got a future (better stop playin' with me)
This mine for life (for life)
No switchin' sides (switchin' sides)
We ride or die, and that's why I know you
Bitter (bitter)
Mad at me, mad at my nigga
Mad at the fact he ain't witchu
Mad at the fact that it's me
But this shit bigger than me and you alone
So why you puttin' on for the Shade Room and Insta'?
Bitch just be lookin' for attention

Well, Summer Walker, you know I been seein'
You know, all the bullshit that's been goin' on with you today
And, you know, I don't know if the rumors are true
I don't know, I don't care, it's not my business, but if it is true
Don't let bitches, like, make-
Don't let them feel like they have a one-up by destroying your moment
By fucking telling your business to the world
On some, "Haha, yeah, I'ma do it on purpose, I'ma do it spitefully"
Do it your own way and do it beautifully, do it special
If you are pregnant and everything, say it in a beautiful way in your music
Say why you, you know, decided to be with your nigga
Even though y'all have problems, put that drama in your music, yeah
'Cause if bitches wanna get clout off you, you gon' get clout off them
And you gonna put that shit in your music
Say some shit like, "I got my own fuckin' money"
Make them bitches feel hurt, hit them bitches where it hurt
And put that shit in your music and make money off it in your music
Fuck these hoes

The lyrics to Cardi B's song "Bitter" address the frustration and anger the artist feels towards a woman who is bitter and mad at her. The song explores themes of jealousy, gossip, and attention-seeking behavior. Cardi B expresses her annoyance at the woman's attempts to put on a show for social media platforms like The Shade Room and Instagram, suggesting that she is seeking attention and validation.
Cardi B also questions the woman's motives and criticizes her for putting her personal business out in the public rather than working to resolve their issues privately. She highlights the woman's focus on materialistic things like getting her nails, feet, and hair done, indicating that she may not be financially stable or responsible.
In the second verse, Cardi B advises the woman, who she refers to as a bitter baby mama, to stop blaming others for her problems and take responsibility for her actions. She calls out the woman for not being able to pay rent while claiming to be independent. The song also suggests that the woman is hypocritical for seeking child support while not actively being involved in raising the children. Cardi B asserts her loyalty to her own relationship and dismisses the woman's attempts to come between her and her partner.
Overall, "Bitter" is a song that confronts the negative behavior and attitudes of others, particularly those who seek attention and create drama for personal gain. It reflects Cardi B's no-nonsense attitude and addresses the issues she faces in her personal life.

Cardi really said all of that privately without asking for anything. The media has painted Cardi as a bad guy for so long but her support for women is absolutely amazing!! Summer walker really put her soul into this album and I’m loving all of it!🧡

@Maseion Anderson apparently you are the bad person here. Twisting something positive into negativity over your hate towards Cardi, a woman you do not know. You also missed the part "she did this privately". God sees and hear what you do privately. It shows the real character of a person. People have slandered Cardi and ran with fake narratives out of jealousy bc her success threatened certain people. You are no one to judge her. You are not God. Worry about your sins, and lack of good deeds. People are seeing the change in her. She is getting older and is a wife and a mother now. I've done crazy things in my 20's as most of us do and I am a different person now. People do change. Anyhoo...God bless you.
Gloria Thompson
@Maseion Anderson your mad at someone you don’t know. Go do something good so God can bless you as much as he has blessed the woman you’re hating on. For the record this voice mail to Summer was sent to her privately whilst she was pregnant and going through it with her man on social media. Find facts before you hate.
