dead wrong
Nicki Minaj Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You might flow hotter than noon in june june
If Biggie was alive he'd sign me
I'm the New Edition like Bobby and Ronnie
Just give me the beat and a bottle of Dasani
And I don't need Clyde I'm a boss fuck a Bonnie, ya dig
Religious like the preacher I came to warn ya
Listen bitches I'm the teacher go sit in the corner
I'm flyer than a maggot I'm on some shit
First they love you then they switch, then they switch like faggots
This is why I keep the llama in gabani fabrics
I'm the shit should be I'm pampers like marki bizzes
Give anybody the business like hers and hises
My flow tighter than them virgen bitches
You know them asalamalakem them persian bitches
And if you miss me I'm swirvin sixes
Goddam ain't even pregnant but I'm birthin bitches
I got flavor like that girl deelishis
Stop actin like you a killer with all them girly disses bitches
I ain't grimy but my my ma-hhhy
She want it with me tell her blood clot tryyy
You ain't thoro I'm the truth you a lie
My whole borough yellin out boom bye bye
Cause when I seen her she was shakin in her boots
When nick came through she was throwin up the duece
Slapped her then I asked her what's my name
She said nic the president of the nyc ya dead wrong
In Nicki Minaj’s song “Dead Wrong,” she begins the verse by calling out those who pretend to be something they’re not. She uses the line “You be yellin boom boom when ya really poom poom,” to criticize those who put on a front and pretend to be tougher than they actually are. Nicki then asserts her confidence and skill as a rapper by stating “If Biggie was alive he’d sign me,” referencing the legendary rapper Notorious B.I.G. and implying that she is on the same level of talent.
Nicki then goes on to compare herself to Bobby Brown and Ronnie DeVoe of New Edition, stating that she is their modern-day equivalent. She continues on to say “Religious like the preacher I came to warn ya,” perhaps referencing her role as a prominent female figure in the male-dominated world of hip-hop. Nicki then asserts her dominance as a rapper, by positioning herself as a teacher and those who doubt her as disobedient students who must be disciplined. She ends the verse with a warning to anyone who dares to challenge her, stating “Cause when I seen her she was shakin in her boots, when nick came through she was throwin up the duece, slapped her then I asked her what's my name, she said nic the president of the nyc ya dead wrong.” This final line solidifies Nicki’s position as a powerful presence in the New York rap scene and a force to be reckoned with.
