Nicki Minaj Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
I went out to Ohio, there was like a mini riot
And, um, you know, we thought it was, like, Michael Jackson, you know?
So we was just looking for the gloves
And the, um, and the two little white kids with the, um
With the silk wrapped around they face
Um, you know, 'cause the people were just going crazy
They was screaming and, you know, yelling
And I turn around

With the silk wrapped around they face
Um, you know, 'cause the people were just going crazy
They was screaming and, you know, yelling
And I turn around
You know, when I went out to Ohio, there was like a mini riot
During a visit to Ohio, a small scale disturbance occurred
And, you know, we thought it was, like, Michael Jackson, you know?
The commotion gave the impression that Michael Jackson was present
So we was just looking for the gloves and the two little white kids with the silk wrapped around they face
In search of Michael Jackson, the singer looked for props associated with his image
You know, 'cause the people were just going crazy
The intense reaction of people made the situation more chaotic
They was screaming and, you know, yelling
The crowd expressed their excitement through loud noises
And I turn around...
Suddenly, the singer shifts the topic or direction of the conversation.
