Practice
Nadia Nakai Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Since the beginning of time, men had been doing dumb shit to get a woman
All it takes, is one good song to override all this criminal shit you got going on

Pull up in that uhm-uhm that's a Taurus (That's a Taurus)
Too much phony in the hood they can't ignore us (Can't ignore us)
I'm gon' pull up with my gang of bitches, other side is scandalicous
Hit the club we ballin' in the courts (Court court court)
Don't get any closer I'm a savage (Savage)
Booty way too bigger than your status (Status status)
Prada in the closet cause I'm managed
Disrespectful, they don't get it that's just practice (Practice on you niggas)

You can't get the coochie cause you average
When I die it's gon' be Louis in that casket
I swear to God I got that Gucci just to flash it
Honey keep your distance cause that coochie smell like catfish
I just cannot stand it, uh
They talk too much, I guess I'm quick to get to acting, uh
If they don't box I get to walking like a passage
You with the bark, I'm really different with the language
The only thing I talk is money talk, I understand it
They see that ass and they freeze
Asking questions like how you fit all that ass in them jeans
Walking round like the baddest bitch in the planet I be
Want a piece but you ain't even got the stamina, please (Nigga please)
How much is that I want a packet of each
Bitches mad cause all they mans just want a piece of this cheese
I grab the mic and get to flowing like sheesh
I'm the type to cuff a nigga, have him stuck on a leash

Pull up in that uhm-uhm that's a Taurus (That's a Taurus)
Too much phony in the hood they can't ignore us (Can't ignore us)
I'm gon' pull up with my gang of bitches, other side is scandalicous
Hit the club we ballin' in the courts (Court court court)
Don't get any closer I'm a savage (Savage)
Booty way too bigger than your status (Status status)
Prada in the closet cause I'm managed
Disrespectful, they don't get it that's just practice (Practice on you niggas)

Nadia you know they ain't got nada on ya
If that pussy timeless, might put a Patek on ya
I'm a cold ass nigga, I don't wear Patagonia
I know I got you red hot like Danny California
It get chilly on my block, they clapping like the NOLIA
Stupid thick, waist slim and she like a Soulja
I got her going down dawg, no Vinyasa yoga
Niggas runnin' out of options, y'all could not be broker
Ayy, Joburg what it do
Hillbrow what it does
Yeoville what's hood
Me and Cayla plug, on that 1942 you dub
I get groupie love
See me in a crew, she choosing up
I got loose sleeve, in my new D's
We call it Ootchie got a new ting, with a booty
Like Kali Uchis left cheek, right cheek like sheesh
I fly out to S.A I might stay the whole week
She fuck me twelve times but I'm not the police

Pull up in that uhm-uhm that's a Taurus (That's a Taurus)
Too much phony in the hood they can't ignore us (Can't ignore us)
I'm gon' pull up with my gang of bitches, other side is scandalicous
Hit the club we ballin' in the courts (Court court court)
Don't get any closer I'm a savage (Savage)
Booty way too bigger than your status (Status status)
Prada in the closet cause I'm managed
Disrespectful, they don't get it that's just practice (Practice on you niggas)

(That's a Torus)
(Can't ignore us)
(Court, court, court)
Don't get any closer I'm a savage (Savage)
Booty way too bigger than your status (Status status)




Prada in the closet cause I'm managed
Disrespectful, they don't get it that's just practice (Practice on you niggas)

Overall Meaning

The song "Practice" by Nadia Nakai, an African rapper, captures the messages of female dominance, sexuality, and power. The opening line suggests that men have done stupid things to get a woman, but a good song has the power to influence a woman, more than the criminal activities of men. The song uses different lines that affirm the centrality of a woman in a man's world. The lyrics express confidence and assertiveness that women should have to command respect, demand what they deserve and be in control of their bodies. The part where it says "Disrespectful, they don't get it that's just practice" suggests that it is a warning to men who try to disrespect women. Women should demand respect, and when they do not get it, they should defend themselves.


Further, the song boasts of how sexy and dominant the artist is. She uses the flashy clothes and accessories that she has on to flaunt her power and affluence- she brags that when she dies, there will be only Louis Vuitton in her casket. The lyrics also capture how men typically freeze or lose their minds when in the presence of a woman, citing questions on how they fit all that ''ass'' in jeans. The artist portrays women as the people to envy while warning men to stay in their lane.
