Nice to Meet Ya
Meghan Trainor Nicki Minaj Lyrics

(Nice to meet ya, ooh) mmh
Introducing herself to the listener and expressing pleasure in the encounter.

I used my makeup to hide (hide)
She is admitting to using makeup as camouflage to cover her insecurities.

Tellin' you There ain't nothin' I haven't tried (tried)
She is saying she has tried everything to fit in and feel accepted.

Changed my hair But I couldn't change up my mind (my mind, mind, mind)
She has done everything to change her appearance, but who she is on the inside remains unchanged.

You know I been tryna work it (yeah, yeah) You know ain't nobody perfect (yeah, yeah)
Emphasizing that she has been working on herself, but that flaws are part of the human experience.

Go ahead, go talk about me (me) You don't know The half of the shit that I've seen (seen) Go ahead and tell them Whatever you heard (whatchu you heard)
She is expressing that there is much more to her than what people hear or gossip about.

I look different on the surface (yeah, yeah) You know ain't nobody perfect (yeah, yeah)
She looks different on the surface than her true self, reiterating that no one is perfect.

I am blessed by the Heavens Someone's got a hold on me Sweet, but I get rough Just what I wanna be What I wanna be, just what I wanna be I don't know you, but
She acknowledges that she is blessed, has a purpose and is willing to accept herself however she presents herself. Refuses to conform to other's standards and accepts herself just the way she is.

I used to care way too much (much) Filtered myself I thought I wasn't enough (enough) Now I'm givin' myself Nothing but love (but love, love, love)
In the past, she used to care too much about what others thought of her and filtered herself. Now she has learned to love herself despite what others think of her.

Brrrt Who you gon' call when you ain't got the? Uh
Transitioning into the rap song, her lyrics question who people will call when they need support.

Me and Meghan run up in the spot like, uh I pop off 'cause I am the reignin' champ
She and collaborator Meghan confidently enter the establishment and assert her presence.

Please, no comparisons, 'cause you know they can't Had to cut the grass, there were snakes in the camp
As the reigning champ, there should be no comparisons with others. She had to take time to eliminate negative and toxic people from her life.

They know I'm the billy, I be laughin' Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Others are aware of her success and wealth and she is enjoying it.

One minute I'm nice, the next a monster (brrrt)
Her mood can change on a dime, sometimes a loving persona and other times a fierce one.

My guesthouse alone cost like three tickets And that Rolls truck and that paint job real wicked
She is not afraid to show off her wealth and extravagance, including her guesthouse and expensive vehicles.

Used to dumb, dumb myself down for these chickens Now when dem, dem talk, I smile it be crickets
In the past, she would ignore her intelligence to fit in but now she responds with silence when others speak about her.

Boom, I turn every head when I walk in the room Pretty in real life, hit my pics with the zoom A ten when they rate her like tomb
She commands attention when she walks into a room and is considered stunning both in person and in photos.

Elevated to the penthouse We ain't stoppin' anytime soon (I'm)
Her success has led to living in a penthouse and her drive to succeed will not stop.

(Nice to meet ya) oh, oh, oh (Nice to meet ya) ohh (Nice to meet ya) ohh (Nice to meet ya)
Ends with the friendly gesture she began with, reintroducing herself to the listener.
