Look at y'all niggas

Niggas (all I, all I know is there should be, all I know)
Look at y'all niggas (all I, all I know is there should be no reason)

Look at y'all smokin'-ass niggas
After every pull, niggas start chokin'-ass niggas

Look at y'all bitch-ass niggas
Stop lyin' on your dick-ass niggas
Nigga-nigga
Look at y'all lookin'-ass niggas
Stop lookin' at my-ass-ass niggas
Look at y'all lyin'-ass niggas
Talkin' 'bout it's paid off but it's financed, lyin'-ass nigga
Bunch of non-mogul-ass niggas
Frontin' like they got a plan, Boost Mobile-ass nigga
Nigga, nigga
Look at y'all can't get a job so you plottin' how to rob-ass niggas
I ain't gotta check for y'all, but if I'ma check for y'all
I'ma need a check from y'all niggas
I don't want sex, give a fuck about your ex
I don't even want a text from y'all niggas

One bottle full of bub'-ass niggas
Look at y'all not havin' game-ass niggas
Y'all niggas share a chain-ass niggas

In the club with a credit card scam-ass nigga
No dick in the pants-ass nigga
I be damned if I fuck a non-man-ass nigga
I will, I will, I will, I will never fuck a non-man-ass nigga
I would never lie
Even if that nigga flew me and my bitches all the way out to Dubai
Pussy, you tried, pussy-ass nigga you lie
Pussy-ass nigga, you high
Bitch, I'm me, hundred on the wrist, I ski
Art on the wall, Basqui, fuck who see
Look at you fake dope dealers
Know real niggas that be movin' weight in them villas
Talkin' 'bout ki's, say it's ki's in the van
But he really move grams and he split it with his mans
All I, all I know is there should be no reason
All I know is there should be no reason
All I, all I know is there should be, all I know
All I, all I know is there should be no reason
All I know, you know, and you know, look at why
Reason
In Nicki Minaj’s song “Lookin Ass,” the rapper calls out men who act tough but cannot follow through on their boasts. The opening lines are repeated throughout the song, reminding the listener that Minaj is targeting a specific group: the “niggas” who are “smokin’ ass niggas” and “bitch ass niggas.” She singles out men who pretend they are wealthy, but who are actually in debt or involved in shady activities. Minaj asserts her power and independence by stating that she does not require validation or attention from men who cannot support her, sexually or financially. She challenges the status quo of gender norms in the male-dominated hip hop industry by remaining staunchly independent and asserting her standards for who she wishes to associate with.
Minaj’s lyrics are pointed and direct, leaving little room for interpretation or confusion. She uses repetition to emphasize the points she is making and to draw attention to the ways in which men fall short of their boasts. The second part of the song is more explicit, with Minaj criticizing men who share a single bottle in the club and who do not have the means to support themselves. She again emphasizes the importance of financial stability and challenges traditional gender roles by rejecting men who do not fit her standards.
