Nicki Minaj Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Niggas with no money act like money isn't everything
I'm having a good time, they just trying to ruin it
Shout out to the fact that I'm the youngest nigga doing it
Cap on, brim bent, Denzel, every time
She ain't trying to pop that shit for pimp okay well never mind,
I I I tried to told you, Drizzy still ain't nothing nice
Bracelet saying you should quit, cars saying fuck ya life
Toodles to you bitches
And if you dolled up
I got the voodoo for you bitches
I'm busy getting rich, I don't want trouble
I made enough for two niggas boy stunt double
Famous like a drug that I've taken too much of
I never ever trip
Just peace happiness and love
I got money in these jeans, so they fit me kinda snug
Plus the game is in my pocket, nigga this is what I does
I'm about whatever man
Fuck what they be talking about,
They opinon doesn't count,
We the only thing that matters (oooh)
So we do it how we do it
All up in your face, man, I hate to put you through it
I be up all night
Whole crews in here
Cause I don't really know who Imma lose this year (oooh)
Man I love my team
Man I love my team
I would die for these niggas (oooh)
Yo, Drizzy sayin' get her Imma get her
I get the kind of money that make a broke bitch bitter
I got that kinda, wait wait fixate!
Which bitch you know made a million off a mix tape?
That was just a keep sake
Bought the president the Louis presidential briefcase
Never been a cheapskate
We got the Hawks I ain't talking about the Peach state
Man for Pete's sake scratch that, sweepstakes (hahahaha)
Fuck I look like hoe
I look like yes and you look like no
I'm a bad bitch I ain't never been a mixed breed.
I'm on a diet but I'm doing donuts in a six speed
M M M6 from a M2
I see a lot of rap bitches on a menu
But I collect 100 thou at the venue
And pop bottles with my team
Young Money till the death of me
I'm about whatever man
Fuck what they be talking about,
They opinon doesn't count,
We the only thing that matters (oooh)
So we do it how we do it
All up in your face, man, I hate to put you through it
I be up all night
Whole crews in here
Cause I don't really know who Imma lose this year (oooh)
Man I love my team
Man I love my team
I would die for these niggas (oooh)
I mean we can even rock them shoes if it don't got a comma on the price tag, you know
I mean, I mean but then again who looks at the price tag, you know
Oh yeah we in this bitch
Oww, oww, oww
Oh yeah we in this bitch
Oww, oww, oww
I'm about whatever man
Fuck what they be talking about,
They opinon doesn't count,
We the only thing that matters (oooh)
So we do it how we do it
All up in your face, man, I hate to put you through it
I be up all night
Whole crews in here
Cause I don't really know who Imma lose this year (oooh)
Man I love my team
Man I love my team
I would die for these niggas (oooh)

@AskSydneyLipton
I still remember the first time listening to this. A hidden Drake gem, when he and Nicki were both coming up. The beat is still awesome.
@robertrussell9680
Still one of my favorites!

"I'm a bad bitch, never been a mixed breed, on a diet but I'm doin' donuts in a six speed." That line is about as good as they come.
@lalaland9646
What does that first line mean?
@purity7073
@@lalaland9646 mixed bred dogs are considered lower in bloodline lineage than pure bred dogs, if you want a purebred dog it's gonna cost you, even though people pay top dollar for mixed bred dogs nowadays. so when she calls herself a bad "bitch" (bitch is a female dog) she's saying she's pure bad bitch, no other "mixes" involved.
