Nabiha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm the boss man, I'm the head of the committee
Lay the love dong, got the keys to the city
Looking so sharp, I come like a machete
Done 12 rounds and I still look pretty
B-O-S-S M-A-N, listen to me now
I'mma spell it out again
Come around, you're my friend
I'm just busy dancing
I like it loud and I like it raw
Hey pretties, what you're waiting for?
Run wild like animals
Turn it up till it overloads
I wanna feel those speakers blow
Run wild like animals
And we gonna start a riot
A riot
Yeah, we gonna start a riot tonight
I like it loud and I like it raw
Hey pretties, what you're waiting for?
Run wild like animals
I'm just busy dancing
I'mma get down, and get gitty
Bring your A game 'cause the beat get sicky
See the golden ticking now
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Ripping it and jacking it
30 Fingers grabbing it
I'mma razzle dazzle it
On my prettiest driving shit
I get you popping, make your body go ape
I'm just busy dancing
I like it loud and I like it raw
Hey pretties, what you're waiting for?
Run wild like animals
Turn it up till it overloads
I wanna feel those speakers blow
Run wild like animals
And we gonna start a riot
A riot
Yeah, we gonna start a riot tonight
I like it loud and I like it raw
Hey pretties, what you're waiting for?
Run wild like animals
I'm just busy dancing
The song "Animals" by Nabiha is about the freedom of expression and being yourself without any reservations. The lyrics suggest being the boss, the head of the committee, saying what you want, and doing what makes you happy. The title "Animals" itself is symbolic for breaking free from the shackles of society and being wild and free, much like animals.
The first verse is about how the singer is busy dancing and enjoying herself. She is the boss man and has the keys to the city, which symbolizes being in control and having power. Her confidence is expressed through her sharp looks, which are compared to a machete, and she has done 12 rounds and still looks pretty, indicating that she has been through the tough times but still came out strong.
The chorus emphasizes the idea of living life to the fullest and enjoying oneself without regard for others' judgment. She wants to feel the singers blow and run wild like animals, letting go of all inhibitions and having fun. The bridge talks about getting down and being free, with the beat getting sicky, and the singer grabbing something golden, representing the good times.
