Lil Nas X feat. Doja Cat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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)

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
