You'll be saying no, no, no, no, no (the clubs pump this remix)
When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (this is the remix)
You'll be saying no, no, no, no, no (Refugee Camp, the remix)
When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Destiny's Child, we 'bout to set it)
You'll be saying no, no, no, no, no (this is the remix)
When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (the streets pump the remix)
You'll be saying no, no, no, no, no (this is the remix)
When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (every project, come on, come on, Destiny's Child, ayy)

Boy, I know you want me, I can see it in your eyes
But you keep on frontin', won't you say what's on your mind? (han-han)
'Cause each and every time you're near me, you give me signs (signs)
But when I ask you, "What's the deal?", you hold it all inside
If you wanna be with me, you gotta keep it real (real)
Tell me what's goin' on, tell me how you feel
Boy, I know you want me just as much as I want you
So come and get my love, it's all here for you, oh-yeah

You'll be saying no, no, no, no, no
When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You'll be saying no, no, no, no, no
When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Why you frontin' when you know you really want it?)

If you keep actin' this way, you're gon' lose my love
I ain't got no time to play, you better hurry up (up)
'Cause every time I come around and cruise 'round your way
I see you on the corner, but you don't know what to say
When I walk up to you, babe, you seem so shy (hmm, shy)
What's the problem, baby? Never had a girl like I?
I can see right through you and you know you wanna be mine
So get your act together 'cause you're runnin' out of time

You'll be saying no, no, no, no, no (no, no)
When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You'll be saying no, no, no, no, no (no, no, no, no, no)
When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You'll be saying no, no, no, no, no (no, no, no, no)
When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah-ayy)
You'll be saying no, no, no, no, no (no, no, no, no, no)
When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah-ayy)
(Is it alright if I play my guitar right here?)

Every time I see you with your boys
You pretend as if you don't want me
When you get home, you call me on the phone
And tell me how much you care

Yo, close your eyes, shorty
You're guaranteed to be hypnotized
By the remix that Wyclef provide
I don't care about your size
Girl, shake your thighs
All I'm tryin' to do in the 'hood is stay alive
Make a little money with Destiny's Child
Thugs hear this song, they dance, they go wild
Like Texas, they movin' like
No Limit soldiers
They went from a dream to the young Supremes
Sing it, girls

You'll be saying no, no, no, no, no
When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You'll be saying no, no, no, no, no
When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Why you frontin' when you know you really want it?)
You'll be saying no, no, no, no, no
When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You'll be saying no, no, no, no, no
When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Why you frontin' when you know you really want it?)
You'll be saying no, no, no, no, no
When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You'll be saying no, no, no, no, no
When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Why you frontin' when you know you really want it?)
You'll be saying no, no, no, no, no
When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah




You'll be saying no, no, no, no, no
When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Overall Meaning

The remix of the Destiny’s Child song “No No No” is a collaboration with Wyclef Jean and his group, The Refugee Camp. The remix features a different instrumental arrangement and a new rap verse by Wyclef. The lyrics of the song are about a woman who is interested in a man but is frustrated with his lack of communication about his feelings. She urges him to “keep it real” and express his true intentions. The chorus features the line “when it’s really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah” which suggests the man actually wants to be with her despite his reluctance to express it.


The song’s lyrics are relatable for many people who have experienced uncertainty in a romantic relationship. The woman is portrayed as confident and assertive while the man is struggling with his feelings. The remix adds a new layer of musicality with Wyclef’s rap verse and a more uptempo instrumental. The inclusion of The Refugee Camp on the remix helped introduce Destiny’s Child to a wider audience and helped establish them as one of the leading R&B groups of the late 90s.
