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 (uh)
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, whoa
Sexy, sexy, that's all I do
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'ma turn 'em out
Okay, bottle, sip, bottle, guzzle
I'm a bad bitch, no muzzle, hey?
Bottle, sip, bottle, guzzle
I'm a bad bitch, no muzzle, 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

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.
