Nicki Minaj Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We like them boys with them rubber band bands
He move weight keep a couple gram grams
So (so so so) where your money put it in your hand hands
Now (now now now) make it flip make it do a handstand [x2]

[Chorus:]
Do a handstand can you do a hand stand flip that
Money make it do a handstand, I can make it
Scream like a summer jam fan where are my bands
Where my rubber band mans

[Verse 1: Nicki Minaj]
It's official bang your pistols play your money it's funny
I mean it tickles. I need a D-boy I need a president and
If your spending them stacks I need some evidence
Then you can bring out all them cars that they rap bout
Then I'm a let you eat it like I put the snacks out, don't say
You can't say you can say you can can flip that money
Flip it like a handstand

[Chorus:]
Do a handstand can you do a handstand flip that money
Make it do a handstand, I can make it scream like a summer jam fan
Where are my bands where my rubber band mans

[Verse 2: Shannell]
He's a banker by nature he'll call and slick of the debt that
You owe and thank ya, he'll switch the toys out never the
Same route, but niggas acting like they ain't about to pay out
Taking me out just to ask how my day went
Tryna show me I'm his number one investment
He know what I like, stay on your job type
I'll pop if you can pop like you got rubber bands we like

[Chorus:]
Do a handstand can you do a hand stand flip that
Money make it do a handstand, I can make it
Scream like a summer jam fan where are my bands
Where my rubber band mans

[Verse 3: Nicki Minaj & Shannell]
'Cause we like them bad boys and bad cars
Them hood rich dope boys and trap stars [x2]

[Verse 4: Shannell]
See I'm a rubber lover so wrap it and I'll hug ya
Then we can stick together like them dollars
Out the printer. bad boys I catch call me
Undercover
Street grindin' cold cut motherfucker

[Verse 5: Nicki Minaj]
Yo yo yo he flip like handstand he cookin' them 10 grams
Give him the grand slam in back of the phan dam,
I mean the phantom. I can't stand bums
Somethin' bout his money make a nigga hands me
Cuff cuff throw ya badge on me
Guaranteed you can't puff puff pass on me
We can crush crush
You can spend your stach on me
'Cause I know you want to smash it like a crash dummy

[Chorus:]
Do a handstand can you do a hand stand flip that
Money make it do a handstand, I can make it




Scream like a summer jam fan where are my bands
Where my rubber band mans

The song is all about the love of money and the admiration of the men who can provide it.
