Uhh, uhh

B-B-B-B-B-B-Bad as I wanna be, she aint bad she a
Sad lil' wannabe!

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics from Nicki Minaj's song "Fuck the B.S." featuring Young Money, she starts off by boasting about her luxurious style, mentioning that she only steps into Balenciagas and dresses up in Pucci bathing suits. She then starts to describe her sexual prowess, stating that she gets "wetter than a navy seal veteran" which is a metaphor for being extremely aroused. Nicki then goes on to describe how she has men "writing love letters in their journal" which shows how desirable and irresistible she is to them.


The second half of the verse sees Nicki comparing herself to other women who aspire to be like her, calling them "sad lil' wannabes" and stating that she is "bad as I wanna be." By using this comparison, Nicki positions herself as a superior figure, someone who is untouchable and enviable. She is confident in her abilities and is not afraid to show off her success and power.
