In the song "Brraaattt", Nicki Minaj and Ransom show off their tough, gun-toting personas. Nicki warns her competition that she won't be brushed aside, declaring "Tell these bitches that I'm not the one, some of them might get away, but I'm popping one." She boasts of being a ninja, named Ginga, and describes herself as the "baddest bitch you ever met." Nicki sends a warning to those who would try to take her down, spitting "And if they come back to Queens, that's a suicide." Ransom joins in, describing himself as a killer and bragging that "I leave clips in your head like a beautician."
The chorus of the song is mainly about Nicki's signature "Brraaattt" ad-lib, which is essentially a sound effect meant to mimic a gunshot. The lyrics encourage listeners to take this sound effect with them wherever they go, as if it were a talisman or a symbol of their own toughness. The lyrics repeat the phrase "brraaattt" multiple times over the course of the song, emphasizing its importance as a rallying cry.
