Nicki Minaj Feat. Drake 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 haters tryna ruin it,
Shout out to the fact that I'm the youngest nigga doin' it
Cap on, brim bent, Denzel, Larry 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 nothin' 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, yeah
I'm busy getting rich, I don't want trouble
I made enough for two niggas boy stunt double
Fame is like a drug that I've taken too much of
But 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, ah!
I'm about whatever man
Fuck what they be talkin' about,
They opinion doesn't count,
We the only thing that matters (ooh)
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 I'm a lose this year (ow)
Man I love my team.
Man I love my team
I would die for them niggas, ow
Yo, Drizzy sayin' get her I'm a 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 mixtape?
That was just a keep sake
Bought the president the Louie presidential briefcase
Never been a cheapskate
We got the Hawks I ain't talkin' about the peach state
Man for Pete's sake scratch that, sweep stakes
(ha ha ha ha)
Fuck I look like hoe
I look like yes and you 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 M-2
I see a lot of rap bitches on a menu
But I collect 100 thou at the venue
And pop bottles with the team young money til the death of me
I'm about whatever man.
Fuck what they be talking about,
They opinion doesn't count,
We the only thing that matters (ow)
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 I'm a lose this year (ow)
Man I love my team
Man I love my team
I would die for them niggas, ow
I mean we can't even rock them shoes if it ain't gotta comma on the price tag
I mean, I mean but then again who who looks at the price tag
Oh yeah we in this bitch
Ow, ow, ow
Oh yeah we in this bitch
Ow, ow, ow
I'm about whatever man
Fuck what they be talkin' about,
They opinion doesn't count,
We the only thing that matters (ooh)
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 I'm a lose this year (ow)
Man I love my team.
Man I love my team
I would die for them niggas, ow
I'm about whatever man
Fuck what they be talkin' about,
They opinion doesn't count,
We the only thing that matters (ooh)
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 I'm a lose this year (ow)
Man I love my team.
Man I love my team

The song "Up All Nite" by Nicki Minaj featuring Drake is an upbeat and confident song about enjoying life to the fullest, regardless of what others may say or think. The first verse starts off with Kush rolling and drinks flowing, indicating that the singer prefers the finer things in life. She addresses those who have no money, but pretend that money isn't everything. The haters try to ruin the singer's good time, but she shouts out that fact that she is the youngest person doing it. The use of slangs such as "cap on, brim bent, Larry time" refers to the rapper style and fashion while they emphasize that they are too busy getting rich to stop and entertain petty haters.
In the chorus, the singer states that she and her crew are up all night, and they are the only ones that matter, as other people's opinions do not count. They do what they have to do, all up in the hater's faces, and they are a tight-knit group that would do anything for each other. The second verse is rapped by Drake and depicts his dependence on rap for financial success, as he boasts about earning millions from a mixtape. Drake's verse is filled with punchlines, wordplay, and metaphors that play with his bragging rights – a common trend in rap music.
Overall, the song is a celebration of success, friendship and keeping up with the luxurious life. The lyrics are delivered with fierce confidence and nonchalance, reflecting the personalities of the two artists.
