Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We 'bout to get up, and burn this floor
You know we getting hotter, and hotter
Sexy and hotter, let's shut it down
Yo, what I gotta do to show these girls that I own 'em
Some call me Nicki, and some call me Roman
Skeeza, pleeza, I'm in Ibiza
Giuseppe Zanotti, my own sneaker
If you need a bad bitch
Let me call a few
Pumps on and them little mini skirts is out
I see some good girls, I'mma turn 'em out
OK bottle, sip, bottle, guzzle
I'm a bad bitch, no mussel, hey?
Bottle, sip, bottle, guzzle
I'm a bad bitch, no mussel, let's go
Music, makes me, high
Oh, oh, oh, come fill my glass up a little more
We 'bout to get up, and burn this floor
You know we getting hotter, and hotter
Sexy and hotter, let's shut it down
Pound the alarm!
Pound the alarm!
I wanna do it for the night, night
So get me now, and knock this over
I wanna do it like you like, like
Come get me, baby we're not getting younger
I just want you tonight, night
Baby we won't do it for life
Music, makes me, high
Oh, oh, oh, come fill my glass up a little more

You know we getting hotter, and hotter
Sexy and hotter, let's shut it down
Pound the alarm!

I'm one of the dancers (The one in bright yellow). We had soooo much fun filming this. I remember Nikki bought loads of rounds of drinks for all the crew and there was so much food that even the dogs couldn't eat because we were all so full!! She's actually a nice person when her stage persona is switched off. Great memories.
