Buy a Heart
Nicki Minaj Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anybody wanna buy a heart?
Anybody wanna buy a heart?
(You should say it right now, should say it right now)
Anybody wanna buy a heart?
'Cause I don't use the shit anyway
Woah! Westside shorty, with an Eastside nigga
They say it's levels to this shit, I'm a G5 nigga
And every city I be in, you know she fly with us
It's like Hov got Bey, it's like Bey got Jigga
Really though let me take y'all back
'09, Double R drop top with the top down
Pulled up, double parked, hopped out, tried to spit my game
It didn't work, got shot down
But I can tell by the bag, by the wrist, and the ring on that
Somebody had it on lockdown
The moral of the story not to speak on that
She on the team, shorty mine now
And we don't ever ever ever make love
And we don't ever ever ever say "love"
Unless I'm all up in it
She tellin' me she love that D on that, I don't ever say uh
Bad bitch, ain't nothin' made up
Anybody, anybody, anybody wanna buy?
The heart from a real one from Philly reppin' that north side?
Anybody? Anybody?
Anybody, anybody, anybody wanna buy a heart?
Anybody, anybody, anybody wanna buy love?
Anybody, anybody, anybody wanna buy a heart?
Anybody, anybody, anybody wanna buy trust
Anybody, anybody, anybody wanna buy a heart?
Anybody, anybody, anybody wanna buy love?
Anybody, anybody, anybody wanna buy?
Anybody, anybody, anybody wanna buy love?
Rihmeek, I'ma have to tell the truth if I speak
Unless you want to play, you ain't say this the other day
You said she was in love, and I still didn't budge
'Cause I already seen how you be going in when you be in them clubs
(I'm not even sure if this is right but, it feels good)
I could tell you was analyzing me, I could tell you was criticizing me
I could tell you was fantasizing
That you would come slide in me and confide in me
He could tell that I was wifey material
He was liking my style in my videos
I wasn't looking for love I was looking for a buzz
So at times I would lie and say I'm busy, yo
'Cause it's too much, and it's too clutch
Who wants rumors of the two of us?
But when you're away I can't get you out of my mind
But what if I'm not the one and you're wasting your time
(But you waited)
Anybody? Anybody?
Anybody, anybody, anybody wanna buy a heart?
Anybody, anybody, anybody wanna buy love?
Anybody, anybody, anybody wanna buy a heart?
Anybody, anybody, anybody wanna buy trust
Anybody, anybody, anybody wanna buy a heart?
Anybody, anybody, anybody wanna buy love?
Anybody, anybody, anybody wanna buy?
Anybody, anybody, anybody wanna buy love?
(You should say it right now)
It's a heart for sale who's buying?
I don't care who's crying
There's trust for sale who's buying?
I don't care who's lying
The song "Buy a Heart" by Nicki Minaj featuring Meek Mill touches upon the theme of love and trust in a relationship. The song begins with the chorus as Nicki asks if anyone wants to buy a heart or buy a love. She admits that she doesn't use these emotions anyway, and blames herself for it. Nicki then talks about a girl who is with a guy who is not from the same neighborhood as hers. She explains that she is on a different level, and wherever she goes, the girl goes with her. Nicki then takes the listeners back in time when she tried to talk to a girl, but she rejected her. However, she notices that the girl had expensive jewelry on her, which would have been on lockdown by someone wealthy. Nicki then reveals that she now has the girl on her team, but they don't share love or say love until they are intimate. She then asks if anyone wants to buy a heart or buy love from a real girl from Philly.
Meek Mill's verse then starts, where he accuses Nicki of lying about being busy when he was pursuing her in the past. He claims that she changed her mind about her love for him, and he moved on. Meek then mentions that he knew she was analyzing and criticizing him during their time together, but he still liked her. Nicki then sings about how Meek could tell that she was wifey material, but she was not looking for love; she was looking for a buzz. She then states that she would often lie to Meek about being busy because there were too many rumors about the two of them, and she didn't want to fuel them. However, Nicki admits that she cannot get Meek out of her mind when he's away, and she worries that she might not be the one for him.
Overall, the song "Buy a Heart" is about people who cannot find love or trust in their relationships. Both Nicki and Meek have insecurities and trust issues, which eventually lead to the end of their relationship.

She doesn't care if someone is lying to her

on Anaconda (Explicit)
My anaconda don't, my anaconda don't
My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hun
Boy toy named Troy used to live in Detroit
Big dope dealer money, he was gettin' some coins
Was in shootouts with the law, but he live in a palace
Bought me Alexander McQueen, he was keeping me stylish
Now that's real, real, real
Gun in my purse, bitch, I came dressed to kill
Who wanna go first? I had 'em pushing daffodils
I'm high as hell, I only took a half a pill
I'm on some dumb shit
By the way (hey), what he say? (Hey)
He can tell I ain't missing no meals (hey)
Come through and fuck him in my automobile (hey)
Let him eat it with his grills, he keep tellin' me to chill (hey)
He keep telling me it's real, that he love my sex appeal (hey)
He say don't like 'em boney, he want something he can grab (hey)
So I pulled up in the Jag', and I hit him with the jab like (hey)
Dun-d-d-dun-dun-d-d-dun-dun (hey, hey)
My anaconda don't, my anaconda don't
My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hun

This dude named Michael used to ride motorcycles
Dick bigger than a tower, I ain't talking about Eiffel's
Real country-ass nigga, let me play with his rifle
Pussy put his ass to sleep, now he calling me NyQuil
Now that bang, bang, bang
I let him hit it 'cause he slang Cocaine
He toss my salad like his name Romaine
And when we done, I make him buy me Balmain
I'm on some dumb shit
By the way, what he say? (Ooh, hey)
He can tell I ain't missing no meals (hey)
Come through and fuck him in my automobile (hey)
Let him eat it with his grills, he keep telling me to chill (hey)
He keep telling me it's real, that he love my sex appeal (hey)
He say he don't like 'em boney, he want something he can grab (hey)
So I pulled up in the Jag', Mayweather with the jab like (hey)
