Nicki Minaj (Ft. Lil Wayne) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With hopes that maybe I'll get a chance to see you
When I close my eyes
I'm going' outta my head
Lost in a fairytale
Can you hold my hands and be my guide
Clouds filled with stars cover your skies
You're the perfect lullaby
What kinda dream is this
You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I, don't wanna wake up from you
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your loves to good to be true
My guilty pleasure I ain't going no where
Baby long as you're here
I'll be floating on air cause you're my
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I, don't wanna wake up from you
Yo, young money right here,
Bike here, throw it up, no high chair,
Cold like a white bear,
Freddie Kruger I'm a rap bitch nightmare,
And I'm rich I could buy you,
Kill bitches leave ya body in a bayou,
More brain than an IQ,
More head than a dread,
And my bank account ain't hardly empty,
So I come through in a Barbie Bentley,
But please mamacita, please no envy,
When you come around it reads no entry,
Who's next to go,
My flows so flexible,
Get gassed get at me, Texaco,
Shoot yourself in the leg, Plexico
White jag with the twisted lip,
I ain't Mike Jack but This is it!
Born born born everywhere,
Your like balloon boy mama you was never there!
I am the kung fu panda,
Fuck all of your blogs, fuck all your propaganda,
Good for the goose then it's good for the gander,
Nicki ain't a rapper, nicki is a brander,
Please you can never compare to me,
All these bitches is scared of me,
I am who they couldn't even dare to be,
So that's all folks
I go hard pause,
Hospital flow get more gauze,
I'm a bad bitch on all fours,
The president be like it's all yours,
Weezy and Nicki bring the A-game, high stats,
Go together like Ricky and his eye patch,
Go together like a team in the gym,
Kareem in the ring, the queen and the king,
Tattoo your name across my heart
So it will remain
Not even death can make us part
(No Ceilings)
What kind of dream is this!
You could be a sweet dr
Kush it out, red bone pussy mouth,
Eat you up, spit you out,
Fuck your girl in your house,
I'm terrible be careful,
You might want say a prayer or two,
So cold I need theraflu,
I'm so high I need parachutes,
I'm error proof, I'm never spooked,
Got my crew, heaven blue,
And my flag red as hell, think your sweet as devils food,
I never lose,
My weapons use,
Fuck with me wrong, shit get ugly, Devin Dude,
And she's the queen,
Two's a couple, three's a scene,
Weezy that nigga that you see in your dreams,
Get the pussy wet or be the springs, huh, I'm Easter clean,
Shout to my home girl Mika Means,
Anything we want we redeem,
You niggas gassed up '93 supreme,
Nicki Minaj is the hardest bitch,
More than an artist bitch,
She talk a whole lot of shit
And walk around like she President Carters bitch,
She be on her Barbie shit,
And me I'm on the carter 6,
And I can turn crumbs to bricks,
And I can turn nuns to tricks,
Young mula baby,
Fu-fuck your feelings,
And this is No Ceilings
Yeah
[Chorus]
The lyrics to Nicki Minaj's Sweet Dreams (Ft. Lil Wayne) express the intense desire to be with someone, even if they are just a dream. The singer rushes to bed every night, hoping to see this person in their dreams and getting lost in a fairytale. They ask for the person's guidance and their hands to be held. The dream is described as a perfect lullaby with clouds filled with stars covering the skies. The singer is unsure if this dream is a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare, but either way, they don't want to wake up from it as it feels too good to be true.
Lil Wayne's verse, on the other hand, is less romantic and more boastful. He talks about his wealth and power, claiming he could buy anyone and leave their body in a bayou. He likens himself to Freddy Krueger, a rap bitch nightmare, and boasts about his intelligence and sexual prowess. He proclaims himself and Nicki Minaj as the kings and queens of the rap game, and nobody can compare to them.
Overall, the song can be seen as a contrasting mix of themes - a romantic desire to be with someone versus the braggadocious posturing of a successful rapper, coming together in a musical duet.

Every night I rush to my bed
I eagerly anticipate sleeping each night
With hopes that maybe I'll get a chance to see you
I hope to dream about being with you
When I close my eyes
When I fall asleep
I'm going' outta my head
I'm lost in my thoughts
Lost in a fairy tale
My thoughts are consumed and fantastical
Can you hold my hands and be my guide
I want you to guide me through my dreams
Clouds filled with stars cover your skies
The nighttime sky is full of stars
And I hope it rains
I want it to rain
You're the perfect lullaby
You help me fall asleep perfectly
What kinda dream is this
I can't believe how amazing this dream is
You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
You could be amazing or terrible in my dreams
Either way I, don't wanna wake up from you
I want to stay in the dream with you
Somebody pinch me, your loves too good to be true
Your love feels too good to be real
My guilty pleasure I ain't going no where
I enjoy this too much to leave
Baby long as you're here
As long as you're with me
I'll be floating on air cause you're my
I'll be ecstatic because you're with me
Yo, young money right here
Here we are, Young Money
Bike here, throw it up, no high chair
We're on top and not coming down
Cold like a white bear
We're cold and unforgiving
Freddie Kruger I'm a rap bitch nightmare
I am a formidable opponent
And I'm rich I could buy you
I have a lot of money
Kill bitches leave ya body in a bayou
I'm not afraid to take out my competition
More brain than an IQ
I'm highly intelligent
More head than a dread
I'm better than the competition
And my bank account ain't hardly empty
I have a lot of money
So I come through in a Barbie Bentley
I'm rich enough to drive a luxury car
But please mamacita, please no envy
Don't be jealous of me
When you come around it reads no entry
You're not welcome here
Who's next to go
Who's the next competition to be taken out
My flows so flexible
My rapping skills are versatile
Get gassed get at me, Texaco
Bring it on, I'm ready to battle
Shoot yourself in the leg, Plexico
Do something stupid and you'll get hurt
White jag with the twisted lip
I drive a white sports car
I ain't Mike Jack but This is it!
I'm not Michael Jackson but still great
Born born born everywhere
I'm everywhere
Your like balloon boy mama you was never there!
You were never around for me
I am the kung fu panda
I'm a skilled fighter
Fuck all of your blogs, fuck all your propaganda
I don't care what you have to say
Good for the goose then it's good for the gander
What's good for one is good for all
Nicki ain't a rapper, nicki is a brander
I'm not just a rapper, I'm a brand
Please you can never compare to me
No one can compare to me
All these bitches is scared of me
Other women are intimidated by me
I am who they couldn't even dare to be
I'm someone they envy
So that's all folks
That's all there is to say
I go hard pause
I'm fierce
Hospital flow get more gauze
I'm quick to injure someone
I'm a bad bitch on all fours
I'm tough, even on my knees
The president be like it's all yours
I'm in charge
Weezy and Nicki bring the A-game, high stats
I always perform well with Lil Wayne
Go together like Ricky and his eye patch
We're a great pair
Go together like a team in the gym
We're a great team
Kareem in the ring, the queen and the king
We're the best
Tattoo your name across my heart
I love you so much I want your name on me
So it will remain
So my love for you will always be there
Not even death can make us part
Our love will last beyond death
Kush it out, red bone pussy mouth
Smoke some weed and have some sex
Eat you up, spit you out
Take what I want from you and move on
Fuck your girl in your house
Sleep with someone else's partner in their own home
I'm terrible be careful
I'm not to be messed with
You might want say a prayer or two
You might want to prepare yourself
So cold I need theraflu
I'm cold and distant
I'm so high I need parachutes
I'm on top of the world
I'm error proof, I'm never spooked
I never make mistakes and I'm not scared
Got my crew, heaven blue
I have support and protection
And my flag red as hell, think your sweet as devils food
I'm very intense and passionate
I never lose, my weapons use
I'm always successful and I use my strengths
Fuck with me wrong, shit get ugly, Devin Dude
Don't mess with me or things will get bad
And she's the queen, two's a couple, three's a scene
She's the best and we're a great group together
Weezy that nigga that you see in your dreams
Lil Wayne is amazing
Get the pussy wet or be the springs, huh, I'm Easter clean
I'm clean and ready for anything
Shout to my home girl Mika Means
Shoutout to my friend Mika Means
Anything we want we redeem
We always get what we want
You niggas gassed up '93 supreme
You guys are hyped up but not as good as us
Nicki Minaj is the hardest bitch
I'm the toughest and best woman in the game
More than an artist bitch
I'm not just an artist, I'm a queen
She talk a whole lot of shit
I talk a lot of trash
And walk around like she President Carters bitch
I act like I'm in charge
She be on her Barbie shit
I'm always fabulous
And me I'm on the carter 6
I'm still in the game
And I can turn crumbs to bricks
I can turn small things into big things
And I can turn nuns to tricks
I have the power to change people
Young mula baby
Young Money!
Fu-fuck your feelings
I don't care about your emotions
And this is No Ceilings
This is the best rap music
