Single ladies
Nicki Minaj ft. Beyonce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo rude boy, why you cross me like a little T?
I'm Minaj, big M, uh'uh not a Mickey D
Now, I'm flyer than a broom, broom, I dissed him (broom)
Then I peel up in a room, boomin' system (room)
Now listen, now listen, listen
I was there through your bid in prison
But sucks for you, boo-hoo
I would never rent a tux for you
Excuse me, I'm buzzing like bumblebees
Football and they all wanna fumble me
I was a thirty-two D in my dungarees
Can I have a couple more cucumbers, please?
Now I'm that bitch, now I'm the bad witch
I need a lot of cheese up on my sandwich
Just got a new boyfriend, he's Pepe Le Pew
And he just bought me two Giuseppe shoes (thank you!)
That's one for right, and one for the left
Yes to the left, left, to the left
Now we should all go to Jerry Springer
And you could put the ring up on my middle finger
All the single ladies
And just like a ghost
You'll be gone, gone
Diddy bop, like Sean, John, John
Anyway, I like Lauren Lon-don
Get my chopsticks, get me my won-ton
'Cause you thought you'd win
But I'd knew you'd lose
Honey, I'm flyer than altitude crews
Yes, I'm cool, you can chuck deuce
Nicki been hot since duck, duck goose
All the single ladies
All the single ladies
All the single ladies
All the single ladies
All the single ladies
All the single ladies
All the single ladies
Now put your hands up
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
'Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
The lyrics to Nicki Minaj Ft Beyonce's song Single Ladies Remix are about empowerment and self-worth in relationships. Nicki Minaj joins Beyoncé's popular song "Single Ladies" to deliver her own bars and message of being above someone who didn't see her worth. The song begins with Nicki Minaj addressing a former lover who had crossed her, declaring that she won't settle for someone who sees her as a "Mickey D" and praising herself as being "flyer than a broom." She then reflects on her loyalty and support for him while he was in prison and points out that she could have married him, but he missed his chance. Nicki Minaj asserts her value and independence even further when she says that she would never rent a tux for him.
The chorus is Beyoncé's original "Single Ladies" hook, encouraging women to demand respect and a commitment from their partners. Nicki Minaj then goes on to reference various notable figures and things she enjoys, such as football and Lauren London, showing how diverse and unbothered she is. She also mentions her love for Chinese food, requesting chopsticks and won-ton. Nicki concludes the song by once again insisting on the importance of putting a ring on it, and proudly flaunting her independence, ultimately saying that they should all go to Jerry Springer and that he can put the ring on her middle finger.

Yo rude boy, why you cross me like a little T?
Why did you disrespect me like that?
I'm Minaj, big M, uh'uh not a Mickey D
I'm Nicki Minaj, a big deal, not some cheap fast food
Now, I'm flyer than a broom, broom, I dissed him (broom)
I'm so fly, I rejected him swiftly
Then I peel up in a room, boomin' system (room)
I arrived in style with booming music
Now listen, now listen, listen
Pay attention to what I have to say
I was there through your bid in prison
I supported you while you were in jail
Ya know, I coulda been your wife
I could have been committed to you
But sucks for you, boo-hoo
Unfortunately for you, that didn't happen
I would never rent a tux for you
I wouldn't even bother dressing up for you
Excuse me, I'm buzzing like bumblebees
I'm feeling great and full of energy
Football and they all wanna fumble me
Guys are trying to get with me like they want to catch a football fumble
I was a thirty-two D in my dungarees
I looked great in my jeans with my size 32D bust
Can I have a couple more cucumbers, please?
Can I have some more money, please?
Now I'm that bitch, now I'm the bad witch
I'm now the one in control
I need a lot of cheese up on my sandwich
I need to have a lot of money for a great life
Just got a new boyfriend, he's Pepe Le Pew
I have a new man in my life who is smooth and charming
And he just bought me two Giuseppe shoes (thank you!)
And he gifted me two expensive pairs of designer shoes
That's one for right, and one for the left
One shoe for each foot
Yes to the left, left, to the left
I'm emphasizing the left side
Now we should all go to Jerry Springer
We should go on a TV show to resolve our issues
And you could put the ring up on my middle finger
Instead of a traditional wedding ring, I'll wear it on my middle finger
All the single ladies
All the unmarried women
And just like a ghost
I'll disappear
You'll be gone, gone
You won't be a part of my life anymore
Diddy bop, like Sean, John, John
I'm dancing like Diddy or Sean John
Anyway, I like Lauren Lon-don
I'm into fashion designer Lauren London's style
Get my chopsticks, get me my won-ton
I want Chinese food
'Cause you thought you'd win
You thought you could come out on top
But I'd knew you'd lose
But I already knew you would fail
Honey, I'm flyer than altitude crews
I'm higher than everyone else
Yes, I'm cool, you can chuck deuce
Yes, I'm cool, you can say bye
Nicki been hot since duck, duck goose
I've been successful since a young age
Now put your hands up
Raise your hands in the air
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
A catchy chorus
'Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you really loved me, you would have committed
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
Don't be jealous when you see someone else wants me
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
If you truly cared, you'd have proposed
'Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you were really into me, you would have committed
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
If you loved me, you would have proposed
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
Stop being jealous when someone else shows interest in me
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
If you truly loved me, you would have proposed by now
