I hope you got got got something in yo' cup

The lyrics to Mike Posner's song Bow Chicka Wow Wow are about a man trying to convince a woman to come over to his place to hook up. He mentions that he's had a few drinks and he's ready to go, but the woman has been playing hard to get. He promises to set the mood right and make her feel alive once he puts on the music. The repeated line "Once I throw on this bow-chicka-wow-wow, what you gonna say?" is a reference to the cheesy music cue used in pornographic films.
Posner heavily relies on innuendo to convey his message, as he sings "Get your Red Bull on 'cause I'm ready" and then "Once I set the mood right, I'ma make sound like hoo-ooh, oh-hoo, ooh." He also notes that the woman has been "tryna make [him] wait 'til the second date," but he "can't even contemplate waiting one more minute," essentially pressuring her into coming over.
Overall, the lyrics to Bow Chicka Wow Wow are fairly straightforward and explicit. The song is meant to be a playful, flirtatious anthem for hooking up.
