Dopeman
Nicki Minaj Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dopeman please can I have another hit
Dopeman Dopeman Dopeman Dopeman
Unh... Yo... Ayo
Once upon a time there lived a little bad bitch
I just press the buttons on my little gadget
Born in December so I am a Sagit
Tarius, maybe just a little Bi-curious
Yo, minie-mo-to-eenie-meenie
Your wish is my command
I mean I really, really mean it
Cause I am the lady that was on "I Dream Of Genie"
They call it spaghetti but I call it Ling-uini
Cold this is if u wanna get da sniffles
I got that wet-wet it could get wetter than a drizzle
Plus I got plenty
No seeds in my twenty

You need a dopeman
Oh you need a snowman
I got that Lo-han
Weight like Ro-sanne
But fuckin with my money is a no-no man
I got them Barbarians
They call me Conan
Dopeman please can I have another hit
Dopeman please can I have another hit
Dopeman please can I have another hit
Dopeman (Nicki Mianj) Dopeman Dopeman (Beam Me Up Scotty) Dopeman





Dopeman please can I have another hit (King Pen Pusha)
Dopeman please can I have another hit (Dopeman please can I have another hit

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nicki Minaj's song Dopeman depict a woman's desperate need for more drugs, asking the "Dopeman" for another hit repeatedly throughout the song. The verses also touch upon Minaj's own identity as a Sagittarius born in December, and her potential bisexuality. The chorus, however, is the main focus, with the repetitive chanting of "Dopeman Dopeman Dopeman" emphasizing the addict's insatiable craving and dependency.


The use of language in the song, such as "Barbarians" and "Conan," create a sense of power and strength in connection to the drug use, while the mention of "Lo-han" and "Ro-sanne" imply the drugs being sold by the "Dopeman" are of a high quality. The chorus and overall lyrics serve as a commentary on the harm and dangers of drug addiction, as well as highlighting the realities faced by those addicted to drugs and the lengths they may go to feed their addiction.
