Nicki Minaj Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're not cracked
Oh, we're shattered
Eh, eh, eh
Oh na, na, na, na
I thought we had something special
We had something good
If you see me walking by you
Boy don't you even speak
Pretend you on the sofa
And I'm on the TV
Might see me on a poster
See me at a show
But you won't see me for free
Boy this ain't no promo
No shame now
Wherever you be laying
You can stay now
Got to board the BBJ
And put the shades down
I'm on the plane now
And don't keep calling from your mama's house
When I break I break boy
Up out my face boy
Up out my face boy
Up out my face, I break
Up out my face boy
Up out my face boy
Up out my face, I break
You ain't never gonna feel this thing again
You gon' get a lot of calls 'cause I CC-ed all your friends (I break)
I ain't walking around all mopey and sad
Take a look at my bags baby (I break, when I break I break)
So look who's crying now
Boohoo hoo
Talking about your missing your boo
And no you and getting it
I know you ain't hittin' it
No you ain't a rapper so you need to stop spitting it
Ah ha ah ah ah ah
You wondering who I'm messing while you ain't next to me
I'm going bye bye bye
So pay the consequences because you acted all ignorant
So you ashamed now
Wherever you be laying you can stay now
Gotta board the BBJ and pull the shades down
On the plane now
And don't keep calling from your mama's house
When I break I break boy
Up out my face boy
Up out my face boy
Up out my face, I break
Up out my face boy
Up out my face boy
Up out my face, I break
You ain't never gonna feel this thing again
You gon' get a lot of calls 'cause I CC-ed all your friends (I break)
I ain't walking around all mopey and sad
Take a look at my bags baby (When I break I break I break)
And no super glue can fix this shit
When I break I break I break
Not even a welder and a builder could rebuild this shit
When I break I break I break
Not even a nail technician with a whole lot of gel and acrylic
Can fix this when I break, I break
If we were two Lego blocks
Even the Harvard University graduating class of 2010
Couldn't put us back together again
When I break boy
Up out my face boy
Up out my face boy
Up out my face, I break
Up out my face boy
Up out my face boy
Up out my face, I break
You ain't never gonna feel this thing again
You gon' get a lot of calls 'cause I CC-ed all your friends (C'mon)
I ain't walking around all mopey and sad
Take a look at my bags baby ('Cause when break baby baby I break)
When I break I break boy
Up out my face boy
Up out my face boy
Up out my face, I break
Up out my face boy
Up out my face boy
Up out my face, I break
The lyrics of Nicki Minaj's song Out Of My Mind, featuring B.o.B, tell the story of a broken relationship, with Nicki frustrated and angry with her lover for not valuing their connection. The first stanza speaks to the idea of the relationship being shattered, not just chipped or cracked, indicating that there is no repairing it. Nicki blames herself for not having a "mechanic under [her] hood," or not seeing the warning signs of the relationship's demise. She instructs her ex to pretend he doesn't see her and assures him that he won't see her for free, indicating that she is moving on and will not waste any more time on the relationship.
In the second stanza, Nicki describes how her ex is attempting to win her back, but she is uninterested. She mocks him, saying he is "boohooing" and pretending to miss her. She also implies that he is bragging about their past relationship in his musical career, but as a non-rapper, he should stop. The chorus repeats the idea of her breaking away from him repeatedly and never wanting to experience their relationship again, while the bridge uses metaphors to emphasize the idea that they are permanently broken and cannot be repaired, no matter how skilled the repairman.
Line by Line Meaning
It's not chipped
There's nothing wrong on the surface
We're not cracked
We may seem okay, but there are underlying issues
Oh, we're shattered
Our relationship is broken beyond repair
I thought we had something special
I believed that our relationship was unique and valuable
We had something good
Our relationship was positive and enjoyable
But I should have had another mechanic under my hood
I should have been more careful in choosing a partner
If you see me walking by you
I don't want to interact with you anymore
Boy don't you even speak
Don't try to talk to me
Pretend you on the sofa
Act like I'm not even there
And I'm on the TV
I'm famous now, and you can't have me
Might see me on a poster
I'm everywhere, and you can't escape me
See me at a show
I'm performing, and you have to watch from afar
But you won't see me for free
You can't have me or my love for nothing
Boy this ain't no promo
This is not a marketing stunt, this is real
When I break I break boy
When our relationship ends, it's over for good
Up out my face boy
I don't want you around me anymore
You ain't never gonna feel this thing again
You'll never have a relationship like this again
You gon' get a lot of calls 'cause I CC-ed all your friends
I've told everyone about your actions and they know the truth
I ain't walking around all mopey and sad
I'm not going to let our breakup bring me down
Take a look at my bags baby
Look at how successful and independent I am now
No super glue can fix this shit
Our relationship can't be repaired
Not even a welder and a builder could rebuild this shit
No one can bring us back together
Not even a nail technician with a whole lot of gel and acrylic
No amount of artificial beauty can hide the damage
If we were two Lego blocks
Even though we fit together, we can't stay together
Even the Harvard University graduating class of 2010
The smartest and most successful people can't save our relationship
Couldn't put us back together again
Our relationship is unsalvageable
You wondering who I'm messing while you ain't next to me
You're curious about my life without you, but it's none of your business
I'm going bye bye bye
I'm moving on and leaving you behind
So pay the consequences because you acted all ignorant
You made your bed, now you have to lie in it
Boohoo hoo
You're crying, but it's too late
Talking about your missing your boo
You're upset about losing me
And no you and getting it
You're never going to have me back
I know you ain't hittin' it
You're not talking to anyone else, you're just lonely
No you ain't a rapper so you need to stop spitting it
You're not cool enough to act like you're over me
So you ashamed now
You're embarrassed about what happened between us
Wherever you be laying you can stay now
You can stay where you are, we're not getting back together
Gotta board the BBJ and pull the shades down
I'm leaving and you can't follow me
On the plane now
I'm moving on and leaving you behind
And don't keep calling from your mama's house
Stop trying to contact me
