Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

L: Manila
M: Latriiicccceee Royale!
L: I′m feeling extra glamorous tonight; sequins, rhinestones, feathers, baby.
I'm rocking′ my highest heels and my highest hair
M: Is that all?
L: Flawless from head to toe!
M: Gurrrl... me too. Today was a "Say-Something" hat day. I was giving you all kinds of My Fair Lady Gaga! I am turning heads and turning the party, hey!
L: WOW.
M: So then why do I feel like the fool?
L: Cuz, gurrrl... You Got The CHOP! The Chop-arooni! The Chop-arello

Givin' everything you've got
Tryna make it to the top
Never ever gunna stop
Even if you get The Chop!
(Chop chop chop chop chop chop...)

You don′t have to be boring
When life′s got you snoring
Wanna party till morning?
Go paint the town!
With glitter in your eye
Let your spirit fly high, gurrl
U servin' up a fish fry
The house down
(Down, down, down, the house down)

But when you put yourself out there
In dresses and big hair
The people – they′ll stare
Go get what you want!
The haters will read
Even if you peed
You still the T
Just pose, turn, flaunt.
(Flaunt, flaunt, flaunt, pose turn flaunt)

PRE Baby, life is never fair
Just throw some glitter in the air!!!

Givin' everything you′ve got
Tryna make it to the top
Never ever gunna stop
Even if you get The Chop!
(Chop chop chop chop chop chop...)

No need to be bitter
Cuz u ain't no quitter
Don′t show no remorse
You don't have to Go Off!
So just dust yourself off
Maybe there's a spinoff
Get back on that horse
(Horse, horse, horse, get back on that horse)

Life don′t always go your way
And you′re forced to sashay
But it's gunna be OK
Cuz Life is a drag!
So please keep your shoes on
Your story still goes on
Like Latrice and Miss Luzon
Make ′em eat it and gag.
(Gag, gag, gag, make 'em eat it and gag)

PRE Baby, life is never fair
Just throw some glitter in the air!!!

Givin′ everything you've got
Tryna make it to the top
Never ever gunna stop
Even if you get The Chop!
(Chop chop chop chop chop chop...)

Oh my God. I′m gagging. I'm gagging right now. Are you gagging, bitch? I'm gagged!

Biiitch! Can you say "set up"? Say it with me? Set Up, bitch. Set up.

I′m not bitter, bitch. no not bitter.

You look sickening!

MmHmmm. I don′t know, girl.

The rut– the rutabaga, bitch.
Can you say "booger boat"? "Booger Boat"
I'm through.





Girl, you got the chop!
Don′t be bitter, bitch. Just make them eat it, honey!

Overall Meaning

In this song, Manila Luzon and Latrice Royale are feeling confident and fierce in their glamorous outfits, with Manila wearing sequins, rhinestones, and feathers, while Latrice describes her look as "My Fair Lady Gaga." They acknowledge that sometimes when you put yourself out there in big dresses and big hair, people will stare and throw shade, but they advise to not let it get to you and keep on shining. They reiterate the idea of not being bitter and instead choosing to make your haters eat it and gag with your fabulousness. The title of the song, "The Chop," refers to being eliminated from the competition on RuPaul's Drag Race.


Interestingly, this song was created as a response to both Manila and Latrice being eliminated on All Stars season 1 of RuPaul's Drag Race. They had formed a close bond on the show and wanted to collaborate on a fun and uplifting song. The music video features many cameos from other Drag Race alumni, such as Chad Michaels and Pandora Boxx.
