Whoopi
Rapsody Lyrics

Yeah
Expressing enthusiasm and anticipation for what is to come

Give it to me now Give it to me now
Anxious and excited for something to occur immediately

They gon' make a sister act up Turn my attitude back up (get a bag, get a bag, get a bag) Count the money up, call the girls up for back up (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Anticipating others to try and provoke her into negative behavior, and preparing to retaliate by gathering a reliable support system and focusing on material success

They gon' make a sister act up, Angela Bassett Blow the whole car up, I ain't even gassin' I'ma go worldwide, I'ma go NASA Yeah the arm strong, you can get it if you askin'
Comparing herself to Angela Bassett's character in 'Waiting to Exhale' who takes revenge on her lover by setting his car on fire. Rapsody then boasts about her ability to attain global success, even to the extent of reaching space like Neil Armstrong. She implies that she can achieve anything she desires without hesitation or fear.

Nigga make me go tap into my ratchet I'ma go Left Eye when I get the matches I'ma hit the blunt, I ain't even gon' pass it My girls pullin' up if you ever want static
Lowering herself to the level of those who irk her, and becoming as unpredictable as the late Lisa Lopes of TLC. She becomes the person who smokes cigarettes alone, without passing them around, and calls for her female friends in case of conflict. She is daring anyone to instigate a confrontation.

Rap is a savage, I don't bear malice But I go crazy, dare you try to play me Go off like Cardi, don't talk 'bout my baby I ain't no Blood, but I might go brazy
Explaining that her music may sound ruthless, but she is not a grudge holder, although she will certainly act if pushed too far. She compares herself empathetically to Cardi B, saying that she will fiercely protect anything she loves. She reveals her flexibility by stating that she is not a member of any gang, but still shows signs of instability if compelled to.

Chicks don't phase me, I'm just like 'Yonce I ain't feelin' you like I ain't feelin' new Kanye Wish you would, like I want new Andre Back on the block, screamin' andale andale
Highlighting her formidable composure by comparing herself to Beyonce, saying that other women do not intimidate her at all. Rapsody also declares her rejection of Kanye West and her desire to work with Andre 3000 instead. She celebrates her return to the street where she grew up, shouting 'andale andale', in reference to her Latino heritage.

They gon' make a sister act up Turn my attitude back up (get a bag, get a bag, get a bag) Count the money up, call the girls up for back up (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Repeating the idea that she is expecting to be pushed to her limits by others, and signaling that she can easily re-agitate her temper for the right reasons, while also encouraging herself and her crew to focus on finances and strength in numbers.

They gon' make a sister act up, I'm Left Eye with the matches Light it up like a Backwood Make me call the whole hood, gold grill like I'm Dracula Still in all black, I'm a rapper's rapper
Reiterating that she is ready to handle anyone who might mess with her, using the impulsive and shocking tactics of Lisa Lopes from TLC. She compares herself to the high-quality 'Backwood' cigars she smokes, and implies that she will signal for backup from her entire neighborhood if provoked. Her flashy gold grill makes her feel like a vampire, while remaining in her trademark black appearance. She is confident in her skills as a musician and peers' admiration of her abilities.

I feel like Urlacher, bang on the block Better shoot like KD if you ever take a shot Playin' big Goliath when my team got the rock Been groomed for the throne, I ain't have to tie a knot
Feeling as dominant and unstoppable as former NFL player Brian Urlacher. She boasts that she can aim and hit her targets like basketball player Kevin Durant. She takes on the role of Goliath, an ancient gigantic warrior of incredible strength and confidence, when her team has the ball. She feels confident in a leadership role, which she was prepared for naturally, and not forced into through a marriage or other means.

Don't back it up, y'll talk a lot I spark fear like polka-dot Fried chicken, better tie up your laces boy I ain't talkin' 50 Cent, or the homie Dot I'm crackin up, is this all you got? (is this all you got?) Is this all you got? (is this all you got?) This all you got? (is this all you got?) Is this all you got?
Challenging anyone who doubts her abilities or tries to slow her down. She dismisses anyone who merely talks without action as insignificant. She compares herself to fear-inspiring polka dots, which usually represent a fun and carefree spirit. She warns others to be more cautious around her than they are around fried chicken, and she uses wordplay, indicating that she is not talking about the rappers 50 Cent or Dot. She laughs at how weak her opponents appear, inviting them to give their all.

I'm chill, peace, peace, chill but y'all still talkin' crazy Don't get my goodbye's confused, I go west coast brazy Lawyer money, got lawyer money, might need Viola Davis I don't know, no, what y'all thought it was, but I show you better than I say it (uh)
Stating that she is always calm and collected but is still provoked by others' senseless talk. She warns her detractors not to mistake her peaceful demeanor for weakness, as she is capable of extreme behavior comparable to the stereotype of West coast gangsters. She boasts of her wealth, hinting that she is willing to pay for the best defense that celebrity lawyer Viola Davis can offer. Lastly, she challenges the expectations that others may have had of her and confidently claims that her success and actions speak for themselves.

You make a sister act out (act out) You 'bout to hear my big mouth (big mouth) Don't make me get the trap house (trap house) Got me laughin', laughin' out loud (out loud) La-laughin' out loud (out loud) La-laughin' out loud (out loud) You make a sister act out You bought to hear my big
Addressing those who push her buttons and warning them of the impending consequences. She threatens to bring her associates from the trap house, and she is amused that they think their conduct is inciting her but sitting back and watching their antics. She finds humor in how much she is taunted and laughed out loud at, and she warns that she is only getting started.

Get a bag, get a bag, get a bag Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Get a bag, get a bag, get a bag Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Get a bag, get a bag, get a bag Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Get a bag, get a bag, get a bag Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Repeating her focus on earning wealth with a mantra to 'get a bag' which she repeats several times. She encourages herself and others to pursue their financial goals with enthusiasm and determination.
