I'm always yours (stop playin' with 'em, RIOT)

And I'm bad like the Barbie (Barbie)
I'm a doll, but I still wanna party (party)
Pink 'Vette like I'm ready to bend (bend)

All of the Barbies is pretty (damn)
All of the Barbies is bad

Rad (rad), but he spank me when I get bad
I'm in LA, Rodeo Drive (Drive)
I'm in New York, Madison Ave
I'm a Barbie girl (girl), Pink Barbie Dreamhouse
The way Ken be killin' shit, got me yellin' out like the Scream house (woo)
Yellin' out, we ain't sellin' out
We got money, but we ain't lendin' out
We got bars, but we ain't bailin' out
In that pink Ferrari, we peelin' out
I told Tae bring the Bob Dylan out
That pussy so cold, we just chillin' out
They be yellin', yellin', ye-yellin' out
It's Barbie, bitch, if you still in doubt (ooh)

And I'm bad like the Barbie (Barbie)
I'm a doll, but I still wanna party (party)
Pink 'Vette like I'm ready to bend (bend)
I'm a ten, so I pull in a Ken
Like Jazzie, Stacie, Nicki (grrah)
All of the Barbies is pretty (damn)
All of the Barbies is bad

Overall Meaning

In this song, Nicki Minaj begins by mimicking the famous Barbie and Ken toys. The song begins with a conversation between the two toys, which can be seen as a representation of the lively and adventurous lifestyle that most of us dream of having. The lyrics "Life is plastic, It's fantastic" conveys the idea that life can be created as desired and is ultimately plastic, which means it is malleable and can be shaped into anything.


Nicki Minaj then starts singing from the persona of Barbie with the lines, "I'm a Barbie girl in a Barbie world." Here, she is emphasizing the idea of plasticity, which means that life is no longer fixed and can be changed to fulfill one's desires. The next line, "You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere," tells us that Barbie can be molded or dressed up in any way that one desires in their imagination.


Finally, the chorus line "Come on, Barbie, let's go party," calls attention to the fact that life is an exciting adventure that one can be free to experience fully without any limitations or restrictions. This song, despite being a cover version of Aqua's "Barbie Girl," is still an entertaining tune with fun lyrics that are open to many interpretations.
