Minaj Nicki Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't control the way I'm movin my hips
Bet you never ever seen it like this
I'm a monster on the floor, I can't quit
No no it's automatic, it's automatic

It's automatic I'm a run away train
And it's likely that I tear up this place
When I go I go hard
I'mma show you bizarre tonight, tonight (ni-i-ight)

It's automatic my condition's unknown
There's no remedy and no antidote
It's just the way that I am
Nicki Nicki so bad tonight tonight (ni-i-ight)

I can't control the way I'm movin' my hips
Bet you never ever seen it like this
I'm a monster on the floor can't quit
No no it's automatic, it's automatic
It's automatic, it's automatic

It's automatic some might call it insane
I assure I'll be stuck in your brain
You'll be falling for me boy, yeah
Just like a domino tonight tonight (ni-i-ight)

It's automatic when I'm rockin' the beat
Systematically I'm droppin' your heat
It's just the way that I am
Nicki Nicki so bad tonight tonight (night)

I can't control the way I'm movin' my hips
Bet you never ever seen it like this
