Raised in Ypsilanti, Michigan, R&B vocalist Queen Naija first became known as a contestant on multiple seasons of American Idol in the early 2010s. Following that, she became famous as an internet personality for her YouTube channel Chris & Queen. On the channel, Naija (also known as Queen Sails) and her husband Chris Sails would post various humorous videos with an emphasis on elaborate pranks. At the very end of 2017, amid some serious relationship issues, she decided to focus on her music again.
In 2018 she signed a contract with the record label 'Capitol Records', thus starting her solo career. Her debut single, "Medicine", was released in June 2018 and reached 45th place on the Billboard Hot 100. Three weeks later came the second single, "Karma", which came in 63rd position in the standings. An EP titled "Queen" Naija came out on July 27 and debuted in 26th place on the Billboard 200.
Set Him Up
Queen Naija Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ohh-oh, ooh, whoa-oh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-whoa
Girl, I feel a way, need some Chardonnay
Just got my hair pressed after I seen him, Goldmember, Beyoncé
Ooh, well girl that was just me (I thought it was just me)
He came and laid the D (he came and laid the D)
When he went down south, I had to change my sheets
Ooh, your man must be nasty (nasty), just like mine
Love his dark brown eyes, and he packs nice
Mmh, sounds about right but what's your plans tonight?
Anything and everything
That he wanna do to me (oh yeah)
Anything and everything
That he wanna do to me
Everything
Lovin' when he sexin' me
Said anything and everything
Ah, ahh (girl, let me tell you what he did)
He grabbed me by my waist, threw my panties on the floor
He ate it like a cake then we broke the headboard
Love the way he smell when he wear that Tom Ford
Hit it so good, had me beggin' for some more
Ooh, ooh girl, I know how you feel
My man wear the same scent, told him it's my favorite
He just got a new whip too, G Wag' light blue
And we made love in it 'til the sun came through
Wait, was there letters on his plate? (What?)
Do it start with L and end with an H?
Yeah, I think it do, girl, what you tryna say?
You might be confused, might've seen him 'round the way
Do he got a tat' on his neck that say "The realest"?
Do he got a room with a mirror on the ceiling?
Do he got an ex out West he used to deal with? (What?)
Girl, if your nigga, is my nigga, I'ma kill him now, ooh
Everything
I'm doing anything and everything
To him if he fuckin' with you
And he fuckin' with me too
Everything
I'm doing anything and everything (better not be fuckin' with you)
To him if he fuckin' with you, ooh
Tell me girl, what we gon' do? Oh, oh
Hey girl, I got an idea
What if I call and told him, "Meet me somewhere?"
Yeah, I could roll up with you in those tinted backseats
And tell him, "Get inside" then surprise it's me
Hmm, wait, I'ma ask him if he ate
Yeah, that's a little better, take him to his favorite place
Then when his food is ready, I'ma have you bring the plate
Ooh, girl, I cannot wait to see the look upon his face, yeah
We 'bout to set him, yeah, yeah
We 'bout to set him up, yeah, yeah
We 'bout to set him up, yeah, yeah
We 'bout to set him up
We 'bout to set him, yeah, yeah
We 'bout to set him up, yeah, yeah
We 'bout to set him up, yeah, yeah
We 'bout to set him up
