Lil Nas X Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
You ever seen a nigga hit Pilates? (Ah)
No, I ain't feelin' sorry
Been in the kitchen bumpin' NASARATI
Shit
I been in the crib goin' crazy
I been movin' work on the daily
Baby, ain't tryna be your baby
Understand, I'm just tryna be the daily
Scoop, scoop (skrrt)
Scoop, scoop (skrrt)
Scoop, scoop (skrrt)
Scoop, scoop (skrrt)
Blue stones at the kickback
They lookin' at my wrist, now watch it hit back
My ex hittin' my phone tryna get back
Don't you hit me with that, "Miss you," I ain't with that
Now it's, he get flown and he sit back
And I won't call on the phone if I hit that
And I'm tryna fuck, little nigga, fuck the chitchat
Ain't talkin' guns when I ask where your dick at (grr)
I been workin' on my body
You ever seen a nigga hit Pilates? (Ah)
No, I ain't feelin' sorry
Been in the kitchen bumpin' NASARATI
Shit
I been in the crib goin' crazy
I been movin' work on the daily
Baby, ain't tryna be your baby
Understand, I'm just tryna be the daily
Scoop, scoop (skrrt)
Scoop, scoop (skrrt)
Scoop, scoop (skrrt)
Scoop, scoop (skrrt)
Tomorrow is my day off (okay)
All them rehearsals got me tight, look at the payoff (okay)
And now my body look like somethin' you'd eat cake off
I just got my veneers out, bitches wanna rip they face off
But you thought you'd have a chance after you wanna disrespect me?
Let him apologize, and eat it in the Bentley
He named my right cheek Jennifer and left one, Lopez
Can't call me stupid with this big ol' fuckin' forehead, motherfucka
Let me
Scoop, scoop (okay) (skrrt)
Scoop, scoop (okay) (skrrt)
Scoop, scoop (skrrt)
Scoop, scoop (skrrt)
I don't wanna lie-ie-ie
I really only need you for the night
No, I don't wanna lie-ie-ie
I really only need you for the night
Can I
Scoop, scoop (skrrt)
Scoop, scoop (skrrt)
Scoop, scoop (skrrt)
Scoop, scoop
Shit
I been workin' on my body (yeah)
Workin' overtime to make sure I'll be the scoop
They gon' know me, scoop
(Roy baby)
(Daytrip took it to ten, hey)
In Lil Nas X’s song SCOOP, he talks about his self-improvement journey both physically and mentally. He mentions taking Pilates to improve his body and being productive every day by working hard to achieve his goals. Lil Nas X expresses that he is not looking for a serious relationship, rather just a night of companionship. He does not want any drama from his ex who is trying to reunite. Whilst Lil Nas X was in the kitchen listening to music, he discovers NASARATI album which is a play on words for the popular Kentucky Derby horse, Nashrullah. He plays the album as his background music to keep him inspired and motivated.
In the second verse of the song, he discusses showing off his jewelry at the kickback party. Lil Nas X makes it clear that he does not want his ex to come back to him and only sees a night of intimacy as a preferable outcome. He also mentions that he is not interested in small talk, but rather being focused on what he wants to achieve. He uses gun references as a metaphor for his sexual desires showing that he is confident and unapologetically bold.
SCOOP is a song about Lil Nas X’s self-growth and his keen desire for attention and affection. He raps about his personal growth, showing off his wealth, and his sexual appetite in a witty, charming, and downright braggadocious manner.

If someone wants to apologize to me, they can do it while riding in my Bentley
He named my right cheek Jennifer and left one, Lopez
