Right Now
Cardi B Lyrics

You were the man yesterday
In the past, you were important or powerful

I'm the man right now
Currently, I'm the most important or powerful

You had a plan yesterday
In the past, you had a strategy or goal

Got the plan right now
Currently, I have a strategy or goal

I was just playing yesterday
In the past, I wasn't fully committed or serious

I ain't playing right now
Currently, I'm fully committed and serious

Shit you was saying yesterday
In the past, you were talking a lot of nonsense

You ain't saying right now
Currently, you're not talking anymore or not making sense

P-H!
Shout-out to my neighborhood (Park Hill)

I'm the man right now (right now), got the plan right now (right now)
Currently, I'm the most important and I have a strategy

Up, up, and away, can't land right now (right now)
I'm rising higher and higher, can't be stopped

Ra-ra-rah, ra-ra-rah, right now (right now!)
Just showing off and expressing dominance

You're the man of the year
You're important, but only for a short time

I'm the man of the decade
I'm important for a long period of time

Chains so damn heavy, can't even keep my neck straight
My jewelry is so expensive and extravagant, it's difficult to keep my head straight

Fuck around and did the X-ray
I got an X-ray on my neck due to the weight of my chains

Doc said I need a neck brace
The doctor recommended that I wear a neck brace to support my neck

Can't see me on your best day
You can never be better than me, even at your best

Got 'em fronting like it's test day
Making others feel nervous or anxious like they're taking a test

Cookie Monster no Nabisco
I'm a glutton for luxury items, like Cookie Monster is for cookies, but not cheap ones like Nabisco

Greasy nigga like Crisco
I'm flashy and oily, like the cooking fat Crisco

Rolly where the wrist go
I have a Rolex where my wrist is

Got me dancing like disco
My watch is so flashy and expensive, it makes me want to dance like in the disco era

Don't do lean, don't sip slow
I don't drink lean or alcohol slowly, I prefer to do things quickly and efficiently

Shorty, get down or get low
Either dance with me or leave me alone

What these bitches want from a nigga?
I don't understand what these women want from me

No DMX, no Sisqó
I can't provide what some other famous men like DMX and Sisqó can offer

Pussy sweeter than a raisin
A woman's vagina is very desirable to me

Sex so amazing
My sexual skills are incredible

I'm about to go balls deep
I'm going to have sex very intensely

Fuck around and spend days in
I might spend a long time having sex with this woman

She like go fast, go slow
The woman I'm having sex with wants a variety of speeds

I'm like bitch we ain't racing
I'm not trying to race, I'm in control of the pace

Kick her out of the penthouse
After sex, I'll send her away from my luxurious accommodations

Send her back to the basement
She's not worthy of staying in my lavish penthouse, so she can go back to a lesser dwelling

I might hit the bitch up right now
I might contact this woman again soon

Told that stupid bitch to pipe down
I told her to be quiet or submissive

Throwing shade and talking that shit
Talking negatively or disrespectfully about me

Please do all of that in my town
Feel free to talk negatively about me in my hometown or face the consequences

Yeah, that 4 train Bronx bound
Referring to traveling on the subway in the Bronx

Man, they don't want me to body shit
Some people want to prevent me from achieving greatness or dominating

But my swag and my lingo, they copied it
Others have copied my style and the way I speak

Man, they don't think I see you on some foggy shit
Some people underestimate me and think they can deceive me

The Patek on my wrist is some rocking shit
The Patek watch on my wrist is impressive and expensive

Now I'm dripping so crazy, some fountain shit
I'm showing off my extravagant style by wearing expensive and luxurious items

Man, it's too much deposits, can't count the shit
I have so much money, it's hard to keep track of how much I have

I was missing some spot, so I'm polishing
I'm always improving and perfecting my appearance and style

I still go on the block, yeah, I'm proud of it
I still visit the neighborhood where I come from and I'm proud of my roots

Look, I hit them with the peace sign
I greet people with a sign of peace or unity

Leave them on decline
If someone disrespects me or doesn't want to be associated with me, I'll ignore them

Catch me on the hive
Find me on top or the center of attention

On that five nine street time
Referring to being from 59th Street in the Bronx

See you with the clean lines
I can tell when someone is being fake or insincere

All they do is recline
They're lazy and chill out too much

My niggas wavy and got heart, give u C Lines
My friends are cool and confident, they'll intimidate you

If you ain't catch that bitch, you better rewind
If you didn't understand my lyrics or my flow, you should listen again

Run up on me, access denied
If someone tries to disrespect or hurt me, they will be stopped or prevented from doing so

Won't hesitate to give a bitch bingo!
I won't hesitate to knock someone out or hurt them

Ba-ba-ba, hit her three time!
Punch someone three times
