The Throne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hello, can I speak to, uh
Yeah, you know who you are, look
You had no idea what ya dealing with
Something on some of this realest shit
Pop champagne, I'll give you a sip
'Bout to go dumb, how come?
That's my bitch
Shorty right there? That's my bitch
That's my bitch
Elly Jackson:
I've been waiting for a long long time
Just to get off and throw my hands up high
And live my life and live my life
Just to get off and throw my hands up high
Kanye West:
I paid for them titties, get your own
It ain't safe in the city, watch the throne
She say I care more about them basquions
Basquiats, she learning a new word, it's yacht
Blew the world up as soon as I hit the club with her
Too Short called, told me I fell in love with her
Seat by actors, ball players and drug dealers
And some lesbians that never loved niggas
Twisted love story, True Romance
Mary Magdalene from a pole dance
I'm a freak, huh, rock star life
The second girl with us, that's our wife
Hey boys and girls, I got a new riddle
Who's the new old perv that's tryna play second fiddle?
No disrespect, I'm not tryna belittle
But my dick worth money I put Monie in the middle
Where she at? In the middle
Elly Jackson:
I've been waiting for a long long time
Just to get off and throw my hands up high
And live my life and live my life
Just to get off and throw my hands up high
High, high, high
Justin Vernon:
Swilling little licks and mixes till mornin'
I'm yearnin', ooh yeah
Could I maybe have another dab of your potion?
Stop motion, ooh yeah
Jay-Z:
Go harder than a nigga for a nigga, go figure
Told me keep my own money if we ever did split up
How can somethin' so gangsta be so pretty in pictures?
Ripped jeans and a blazer and some Louboutin slippers
Uh, Picasso was alive he woulda made her
That's right nigga, Mona Lisa can't fade her
I mean Marilyn Monroe, she's quite nice
But why all the pretty icons always all white?
Put some colored girls in the MoMA
Half these broads ain't got nothing on Willona
Don't make me bring Thelma in it
Bring Halle, bring PenΓ©lope and Salma in it
Back to my BeyoncΓ©s
You deserve three stacks, word to AndrΓ©
Call Larry Gagosian, you belong in museums
You belong in vintage clothes crushing the whole building
You belong with niggas who used to be known for dope dealing
You too dope for any of those civilians
Now shoo children, stop looking at her tits
Get ya own dog, ya heard? That's my bitch
Elly Jackson:
I've been waiting for a long long time
Just to get off and throw my hands up high
And live my life and live my life
Just to get off and throw my hands up high
High, high, high
The song "That's My Bitch" by The Throne featuring Elly Jackson is a playful and braggadocious track that centers around the luxury lifestyle and heightened sense of control over a woman by male rappers Kanye West and Jay-Z. The lyrics boast about how Kanye and Jay-Z have everything they could ever desire, including the title woman, who they reference as their "bitch." The song opens with Kanye on the phone with someone, possibly the woman he is referring to, claiming that they had no idea who they were dealing with, insinuating both his wealth and his power in the music industry. The rest of the song is a back-and-forth between Kanye, Jay-Z, and Elly Jackson, with each verse reinforcing the idea of their superiority and dominance, with Jackson's unique vocals adding an ethereal quality to the track.
While the lyrics of "That's My Bitch" may be perceived as trivializing women and promoting toxic masculinity, they should be interpreted as a commentary on the exaggerated and often one-dimensional representations of power and wealth in popular music. The song is not meant to be taken literally or as a reflection of the rappers' true beliefs, but rather as a heightened and exaggerated expression of their individual images and personas.
