When yo album gon' drop bitches neva could say
Say fuk I look like givin birds dae props
Bitches act like dae hot but I heard dae not
How the fuk you in the game like 10 yrs strong
Ya'll bitches still can't write cha own damn song
You see me on the stoop man these birds just aloop me
Wetha I'm in the coop or dat hoopty doopsy
Let'em eat mah coochy and cop mii poochy
House in the boonies rock the dooby
Cop the 22 den spark ah lucy
He tell em I'm the one he prolly right
He pressin me like button downs
On a friday night yah girl
Get it poppin like dynamite,
Dynamite the coke albino white
Name one bitch in the game
That I can't murdah
Chicken noodle bitch on the side witta soda
Give it 2 ae'boddii liek a cop witah quotah
Stop play polka hop inside amolka
I eat bitches no knife no folka
Bitch want it with me livin the life loca
O0o I get it you ah joka
I leave ah dot on yah head and I ain't talkin bout polka
Cause you the type that b runnin your mouf
See you on the block wanna run in yah house

I fuck with dirty money like watz undah the couch cause
Ain't a bitch could fuk with my flow
Wen it comes 2 drugs mommy just say no
Eatha you on sumthin or yah S-L-O
Had tah switch up the flow let these sketals know
I come come hard I don't come with garbage
Just one phone call they goin' come regardless
I alwayz got the ball mah I roll with starters
Write my own barz and my flows the hardess nigga
In the song "40 Bars" by Nicki Minaj, the lyrics are filled with confidence and assertiveness as she boasts about her skills in the music industry. The first quatrain establishes Nicki's preparedness to take on the rap game, boasting that she's "fitted down and [she's] ready to play." And she questions when her album will drop, stating that other female rappers can't compare to her. Nicki goes on to criticize other women in the industry, claiming they've been in the game for years and still can't write their own songs, whereas her bars and lyrics flow effortlessly. She's always with a guy who appreciates her, and she's not shy about claiming sexual dominance, showing that she holds her own by penning her own lyrics and rhymes.
She later states that there isn't a single woman in the game that she couldn't "murder" with her skills. Nicki Minaj is no stranger to rap beefs, and this line in the song could easily be seen as a jab at other female rappers. She's determined not to let anyone stand in her way, and she's confident that she will come out on top. Her lyrics also hint at a possible affinity for drugs, with lines like "when it comes to drugs mommy just say no." She talks about dirty money and hiding drugs under the couch, something that could be seen as a reference to being involved in drug dealing.
Overall, the song demonstrates Nicki Minaj's powerful personality and immense rap talent. She's not afraid to call out other women in the industry or to embrace her sexual desires. Moreover, Nicki's bars are wordy and well-crafted, as is typical of her style.
