Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not my goodies!
I got a sick reputation for handling broads
All I need is me a few seconds or more.
And in my rap
Tell valet to bring my 'lac
And I ain't coming back
I'm the truth
And ain't got nothin' to prove.
An you can ask anybody
'Cause they seen me do it.
Barricades, I run right through 'em
I'm used to 'em.
Throw all the dirt you want it's no use.
You still won't have a pinup in a fabulous room
On her back pickin' out baskets of fruit.
(I love you boo)
Yeah freak and Petey love you too.
Ha ha
You know how I do
You may look at me and think that I'm just a young girl
But I'm not just a young girl.
Baby this is what I'm lookin' for. I want a
Sexy, independent, I ain't wit so you already know
I'm not being too dramatic that's the way I gotta have it.
I bet you want the goodies.
Bet you thought about it.
Got you all hot and bothered.
Mayb' 'cause I talk about it.
Looking for the goodies
Keep on lookin' 'cause they stay in the jar
Just because you drive a Benz
I'm not going home with you.
You won't get no nookie or the cookies
I'm no rookie.
And still I'm
Sexy, independent
I ain't wit' it so you already know.
I'm not being too dramatic that's the way I gotta have it
You may talk slick
Trying hit
But I'm not dumb
I'm not being too dramatic it's just how I gotta have it
I bet you want the goodies.
Bet you thought about it.
Got you all hot and bothered.
Mayb' 'cause I talk about it.
Looking for the goodies
Keep on lookin' 'cause they stay in the jar
So damn hot but so young.
You ain't got milk on ya tongue
Slow down lil' one
You ain't got it all
Hey shorty you don't play the game
You think you bad but you ain't bad
I'll show you what bad is.
Bad is when you capable of beatin' the bag
I been workin' at it since I came to this planet
And I ain't quite there yet but I'm gettin' better at it.
Matter of fact,
Lemme tell it to you once more again
All I got to do is tell a girl who I am
Ain't no chick in here that I can't have
You're insinuating that I'm hot
But these goodies boy are not
Just for any of the many men that's trying to get on top.
No you can't call me later
And I don't want your number.

Just respect the play I'm calling
I bet you want the goodies.

The lyrics of Ciara's song Goodies featuring Petey Pablo are centered around the theme of female empowerment. It's apparent in the chorus where the artist asks her male listeners if they're after her "goodies" which she emphasizes are kept in a jar and not up for grabs. The pre-chorus starts off with her acknowledging her reputation for being good at handling women but yet still wants a man that can meet her standards. She harps on her independence and makes it clear that a man's wealth or status doesn't hold any power over her.
In the second verse, Petey Pablo tries to approach Ciara with a sense of entitlement and superiority but she claps back hard with her sharp rhyming skills telling him he's no match for her. She emphasizes the fact that her "goodies" are not there for any man that tries to exert power over her, and she doesn't want any attention from someone who won't respect her boundaries.
Overall, the song emphasizes the idea that women are in control of their bodies, and people should respect their choices. The song is fearless, confident, and empowering.
