Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Throw some shade if you look good...
Wave ya hand if you look good...
Anyway, bitch, you look good!
Wave ya hand if you look good...
Throw some shade if you look good...
Wave ya hand if you look good...
Anyway, bitch, you look good!
Uh-huh, yo, yo...
Now, tell them bitches, "Anyway,"
'Cause we don't care what none of dem gyal haffi say...
You can't stop me, I'ma fulfill the prophecy;
I do it, I did it the proper way...
On my property, now watch how we operate:
Bottles on ice, the bottles is on ice;
The VIP lights is hittin' us just right...
So if you gettin' money, just throw it up in the air;
Your hands in the air like I was your puppeteer...
'Cause I, I, I, I am Zolanski;
Some call me Barbie, yes, I'm life-size.
Yes, I am humble, yes, but why lie?
I am the reason why these girls go bye-bye.
Wave ya hand if you look good...
Throw some shade if you look good...
Wave ya hand if you look good...
Anyway, bitch, you look good!
Wave ya hand if you look good...
Throw some shade if you look good...
Wave ya hand if you look good...
Anyway, bitch, you look good!
OK, now this right here could get me in trouble,
Cause when I say I ball, I don't mean in a huddle...
I'm always an alarm, I never do nothing subtle;
Cause #ItsPinkFridayHoe! That's the rebuttal.
My two guns up - it's blazin', let's go.
I keep a lot of money up in the Escrow,
And when I'm at the game, I'm in the best row;
I am the baddest bitch up in the pet sto'!
'Cause I, I, I, I am Onika,
And these shoes here mean "fashionista",
Cause these don't come out til it's Easter;
I'm VIP-bound with Leighton Meester...
Wave ya hand if you look good...
Throw some shade if you look good...
Wave ya hand if you look good...
Anyway, bitch, you look good!
Wave ya hand if you look good...
Throw some shade if you look good...
Wave ya hand if you look good...
Anyway, bitch, you look good!
Ya, ya, ya-ya, ya, ya-ya, ya, ya-ya, ya, ya, yaAaAaAUGH!
[complete, total gibberish]
Ya, ya-ya-ya-ya, ya, ya, ya-ya-ya-ya!
Wave ya hand if you look good...
Throw some shade if you look good...
Wave ya hand if you look good...
Anyway, bitch, you look good!
Wave ya hand if you look good...
Throw some shade if you look good...
Wave ya hand if you look good...
Anyway, bitch, you look good!

Real country-ass nigga, let me play with his rifle
Pussy put his ass to sleep, now he calling me NyQuil
