Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ayo, it's the UK baddie and the Barbie

Love a little bitter in the sweet
Bad boy, me recipe
Bein' nice a little borin' when you in between the sheets
When I ride that hee-haw, you know I know how to please ya

Ooh, I like them tattoos and them gold teeth
Type to make me feel like I'm a baddie
I like the fire you're bringin' out of me
Baby, somethin' 'bout him got me weak in the knees

The hole that you dug should be criminal
My mama won't see what I see in ya
But I don't want it if it ain't bad enough
I don't know what it is, I

I like a bad, bad boy (boy)
You know I like a bad, bad boy (boy)
I like a bad boy, you can't stop me
I love bad boys for life
I like a bad, bad boy (bad boy)
You know I like a bad, bad boy (bad boy)
I like a bad boy, you can't stop me
I love bad boys for life

Got a little attitude, but I think he's kinda cute
So hood, so good, so damn taboo
Know you know how to please me
Like it raw, baby, sashimi

Ooh, I like them tattoos and them gold teeth
Type to make me feel like I'm a baddie
I like the fire you're bringin' out of me
Baby, somethin' 'bout him got me weak in the knees

The hole that you dug, you'd be criminal
My mama won't see what I see in ya
But I don't want it if it ain't bad enough
I don't know what it is, I

I like a bad, bad boy (boy)
You know I like a bad, bad boy (boy)
I like a bad boy, you can't stop me
I love bad boys for life (uh)
I like a bad, bad boy (bad boy)
You know I like a bad, bad boy (oh, I)
I like a bad boy, you can't stop me
I love bad boys for life

(As we proceed, to give you what you need)
Bad bitches want a bad boy (come on)
Word to Biggie, Diddy, and Mase (woo)
Woah, like Rob, won't find a prettier face (let's go)
He gon' keep my VVs dancin' like Total
So I could just shine while he shoot up the place (prr-prr)
Raspberries, cherries, and berries, I'm edible
Do these bitches like a library, done read 'em all
My body smokin', come get a pull
Lucky charms on my anklets, no, not cereal
Jesy, we got all the jelly bitches actin' real messy (real messy)
Still a bad bitch, whether I'm sporty or I'm dressy
I don't know why I got the dudes actin' zesty
But I only want a bad boy as my bestie

I like a bad, bad boy
You know I like a bad, bad boy (gotta, gotta have a bad boy)
I like a bad boy, you can't stop me
I love bad boys for life (ooh, want a bad, bad boy)
I like a bad, bad boy
You know I like a bad, bad boy
I like a bad boy, you can't stop me
I love bad boys for life

It's Nicki and Jesy




He love me and plus he
Ready to knock a motherfucker out just to impress me (woo)

Overall Meaning

The song "Boyz" by Jesy Nelson is a bold declaration of her preference towards bad boys. Throughout the song, she sings about how bad boys turn her on, and how she finds being nice a little boring. She loves the tattoos and gold teeth that these boys possess, and they make her feel like a "baddie". Jesy goes on to explain that the hole that these boys have dug should be criminal, and that her mother won't see what she sees in them. However, she still wants these bad boys, and it's something about them that makes her weak in the knees. The song ends with a rapper (Nicki Minaj) joining Jesy to declare her own love for bad boys.


The song is a celebration of a certain type of masculinity that is often associated with danger, rebellion, and excitement. By expressing her love for bad boys, Jesy is signaling her own confidence and independence, as well as her desire for something that is considered taboo. However, it's important to note that the song does not necessarily promote unhealthy or abusive relationships - rather, it's a fun and catchy expression of Jesy's own desires.


In terms of musical style, "Boyz" is a high-energy pop song with strong hip-hop influences. The beat is fast and catchy, with a strong bassline and electronic flourishes that give the song a futuristic feel. Jesy's vocals are powerful and confident, and she manages to convey both her desire for bad boys and her refusal to be controlled by anyone.

Nicki Minaj is really the only female rapper that could disappear off the face of the earth for however long she wants and still have people waiting for her return and desperately wanting new music, that’s powerful for real.
