Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't mind me baby, heh
We takin' over summer
Young Gifted, haha
Let's take it home, champ
Ayy, ayy, look

Shawty got a big ol' butt, oh yeah
Shawty got a big ol' butt, oh yeah
Woo, uh (work, work)
Clappers to the front, front, front, front (okay, okay)
Clappers to the front, front, front, front (okay)
Shawty got a big ol' butt, oh yeah

(Ayy, Wale) woo
Bounce, bounce, bounce, fool, I put the city on
Bounce, bounce, bounce, fool, then I put my niggas on
Bounce, bounce, bounce, fool, I ain't gotta say too much
It's fan participation, keepin' rainy in the stadium
Ooh, see that from a block away
I ain't pessimistic but I dropped a couple knot today
Ooh, bet she call you not today
I told 'em all my lot is out
I know the dame like Skylar team
Ooh, I wonder if she shot out
I just know her favorite song is "Started from the Bottom"
And I ain't hatin' mama, fact I wanna take your number
Said you save yo' bread from Magic somethin' happened then went walla

Shawty got a big ol' butt, oh yeah
Shawty got a big ol' butt, oh yeah
Uh (work, work)
Clappers to the front, front, front, front (okay, okay)
Clappers to the front, front, front, front (okay)
Shawty got a big ol' butt, oh yeah (yessir)





Shawty come shake that ass for me
Let a trippy nigga see what you workin' with
Can you clap that ass, do a handstand
Girl, make your booty wiggle, do a perfect split
She got the fattest ass, she got the perfect tits
I wanna get some head, come on work your lips
I'm high in the clouds I'm not comin' down
I'm so turned up I can't find the ground (sippy)
Sippin' syrup by the gallon, smokin' Kush by the pound
Make it flood with the ones, broke bitch might drown
Juicy got chips like Frito-Lay
And I'm fuckin' these chicks out of D.O.a
I'm so dope boy fresh that you think that I'm sellin' blow
Take your chick to VIP and get her pregnant in her throat
Shawty bust it open for me, I might throw this cash
Shawty throw that ass like a Hail Mary pass
I'm fuckin' me a new chick every night
Make that ass clap, I don't care about that cellulite

Shawty got a big ol' butt, oh yeah
Shawty got a big ol' butt, oh yeah
Uh (work, work)
Clappers to the front, front, front, front (okay, okay)
Clappers to the front, front, front, front (okay)
Shawty got a big ol' butt, oh yeah (woo)

Clappers to the front, got a Backwood full of skunk
Got a white boy with the funnel gentrifying, that's what's up
Look, clappers to the front, all you niggas got the skumps
Now she find a bust it loose, screamin' rest in peace to Chuck
It's that DMV, we up at KOD
And I can CC in these CC's
But don't be OC

Uh, shout out to that cellulite
Got a real bad bitch that will sell you white
Got another bad bitch that will sex you right
Got a couple hoodrats on Section 8
Make a nigga cum, don't procrastinate
Ass on five-o, come crack the case
Got ass for days, come activate
This ass on fire, evacuate
Throw that ass in the air, evaporate
Where your money? Let a bitch evaluate
If you 'bout big money, elaborate
I'ma shake this ass 'til I graduate, nigga

Look, shawty got a big ol' butt, oh yeah
Shawty got a big ol' butt, oh yeah
Uh, clappers to the front, front, front, front (okay, okay)
Clappers to the front, front, front, front (okay)
Shawty got a big ol' butt, oh yeah

Uh, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce
Uh, bounce, bounce, look, look
Screamin' rest in peace to Chuck, yeah, yeah
Sayin' rest in peace to Chuck, yeah, yeah
Sayin' rest in peace to Chuck, yeah, yeah
And in that city I'm the one, let's go, Scotty
E. Street, D. Sreet, Rosedale, Sursum Corda, Paradise, Carver Terrace, 1-5
Parkland, Garfield, Palmer Park, 2-5, Kentland, Benning Park, Simple City, Simple City

Let's go
Shawty got a big ol' butt, oh yeah
Shawty got a big ol' butt, oh-

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nicki Minaj's song "Clappers" are sexually explicit and objectify women. The song opens with Nicki inviting the listener to join her in taking over the summer. Thereafter, she references a girl with a big behind, and Wale chimes in, commenting on this girl's body and his desire to get her number. Juicy J then adds his verses, where he describes his enjoyment of partying with women and encourages them to shake and wiggle their behinds. This song is not about self-love, expression or empowerment but an affirmation of the male gaze and their entitlement to sexually exploit women's bodies.
