The lyrics to Nicki Minaj's "Saxon" seem to revolve around the idea of her success and dominance in the music industry. The chorus repeats the phrase "I am g-going home," which could be interpreted as her departure from an event or performance after shutting it down with her talent and style. The first two verses reinforce this idea, with Minaj bragging about her designer clothes and hair, which others try to imitate ("Switch my gear they gon copy her). She refers to those who copy her as "copycats," suggesting a sense of disdain towards the imitators. In the third verse, she asks if her audience is ready for her show, reminding them of her success and wealth ("We get alotta dough"), and declaring that she has already "shut it down" so she is going home.
The lyrics are relatively straightforward and showcase Minaj's confidence and mastery in her craft. She uses creative metaphors to describe her designer clothing, such as her "Lamborghini strawberry kiwi" outfit, which highlights her taste in luxury fashion. She also references her signature hair, which she changes often and others apparently try to emulate. Overall, the song seems to be an anthem for success and dominance, with Minaj establishing herself as a leader in the music industry and warning others not to try and copy her.
