Highschool
Nicki Minaj Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He said he came from Jamaica, he owned a couple acres
A couple fake visas ’cause he never got his papers
Gave up on love fucking with them heart breakers
But he was getting money with the movers and the shakers
He was mixed with a couple things, bald like a couple rings
Bricks in the condo and grams to sing-sing
Left arm, baby mother tatted
5-year bid up North when they ratted
Anyway I felt him, helped him, put him on lock, seat-belt him
Took him out to Belgium, welcome
Bitches this pretty, that’s seldom
This box better than the box he was held in
I’m Momma Dee in that order, I call him Daddy like daughters
He like it when I get drunk, but I like it when he be sober
That’s top of the toppa, I never fuck with beginners
I let him play with my pussy then lick it off of his fingers, I’m in the zone

They holler at me, but it’s you, you, this ain’t high school
Me and my crew, we can slide through
Give it to you whenever you want, whip it whenever you want
Baby it’s yours
Anywhere, everywhere, baby it’s your world, ain’t it? (alright)
Baby it’s your world, ain’t it?

Uh, she got a nigga at home and one on the side
Best friend is a dyke, they fucked around a few times
Her and her momma alike, so all they do is fight
I tell her “make me some money”, she tell me “make me a wife”
I tell that bitch “you crazy, fuck wrong with you?”
And excuse my French, but I’m a long kisser
And then she try to tell me I’m the only one that’s hitting
And I say “what about them niggas?” She say: “what about them niggas?”
You right, what you doing tonight?
Put on something tight, don’t judge me, I’d get life
She love me like a brother, but fuck me like a husband
Pussy like a oven, too hot to put my tongue in
All I had to do is rub it, the genie out the bottle
Pussy so wet, I’mma need goggles
She tell me that’s it’s mine, I tell her “stop lying, mine and who else?”
She say worry about yourself Lil Tune

They holler at me, but it’s you, you, this ain’t high school
Me and my crew, we can slide through
Give it to you whenever you want, whip it whenever you want
Baby it’s yours
Anywhere, everywhere, baby it’s your world, ain’t it?
Baby it’s your world, ain’t it?

I know you want it boy, I see you tryin’
Just keep on pushing, I’mma let you slide in
Just close your eyes and, this horizon




It’s ready, come get you some
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Overall Meaning

The first verse of "High School" by Nicki Minaj feat. Lil Wayne tells the story of a man who had struggles with love and legal status in the US. He had to fake visas because he couldn't get legal papers, and he gave up on love because of women who broke his heart. But despite all this, he was getting rich working with influential people like the movers and shakers. He had tattoos on his left arm and a child with a woman who later sent him to prison by ratting him out. The singer felt a connection with this man and helped him with his problems, taking him to Belgium where he could find better things. She refers to herself as "Momma Dee" and him as "Daddy," a familial reference, but she also mentions that their relationship often involves alcohol and drugs, although she prefers him sober.


The second verse describes a relationship between two people who have other romantic partners. The woman has a long-term partner and seems to be bisexual, as she slept with her best friend who identifies as a lesbian. She has a difficult relationship with her mother, and Lil Wayne tells her to make him money, not demand to be his wife. She admits that she loves him like a brother but has a sexual relationship with him like he's her husband. His depiction of her vagina as too hot to put his tongue in is both crass and inventive, and he describes her as a genie in a bottle. The two mutually agree not to worry about other partners and enjoy each other's company.
