Nicki Minaj Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ch-ch-ch-cherries on the top man
B-butterscotch jam
P-put me some nuts in them cups
That's what's up man
That's my ice cream
That's my ice cream
That's my ice cream
That's my ice cream man

Such a thug boo
I like your truck too
When I get older I'ma come over and fuck you
'Cause that's my ice cream
That's my ice cream
That's my ice cream
That's my ice cream man, man

My ice cream man, my rubber band man
Like to rock a bandana, and, and
He need an antenna
Way they watch him
He cuter than Santana

Ice cream man, make my ice cream quickly
I'ma let it sit, I like my ice cream slippery
Hickory, Dickory, call me Mike Vickory
I'ma bad bitch, woof woof, I'm so thickory
Can I lick your, can I lick your ice cream cone
Do it like E.T., I make that nigga phone home
I really like vanilla, but my favorite color chocolate
Chocolate, chocolate, gargle it and gargle it

Ch-ch-ch-cherries on the top man
B-butterscotch jam
P-put me some nuts in them cups
That's what's up man
That's my ice cream
That's my ice cream
That's my ice cream
That's my ice cream man

Such a thug boo
I like your truck too
When I get older I'ma come over and fuck you
'Cause that's my ice cream
That's my ice cream
That's my ice cream
That's my ice cream man, man

My ice cream man, 'cause I can make him scream
Like a Summer Jam fan, and and he Taliban tan
He fuck with young Nicki, since I came from band camp
Ice cream man, make my ice cream quick
They nominate Nick, I like Häagen-Dazs thick
Just put a lot of nuts, I'ma lick it off the tip
I fuck with real thugs, I'm not a Chippendale chick
Now if you see my man, that's my ice cream man
'Cause I never grow up, I'm just like Peter Pan
Baskin Robins, Turkey Hill, Breyers
That other bitch bologna
So I call her Oscar Meyer

Ch-ch-ch-cherries on the top man
B-butterscotch jam
P-put me some nuts in them cups
That's what's up man
That's my ice cream
That's my ice cream
That's my ice cream
That's my ice cream man, man

Such a thug boo
I like your truck too
When I get older I'ma come over and fuck you
'Cause that's my ice cream
That's my ice cream




That's my ice cream
That's my ice cream man, man

I love how Nicki always adds her own flow but still manages to match the themes of the artists she works with

@saul-wv7fk

Yeah, it is really intersting how she added her own flare to Ice Spice's flow. She made it hers somehow.
