Wait for a Minute
Tyga Lyrics

Yeah, wait for a minute
Asking the listener to wait for a moment

Yeah can you wait for a minute?
A second request to wait for a moment

Girl just a minute
Direct request to a female listener to wait for a moment

Well if you walk (if you walk)
Asking the listener to walk with the singer

With me (with me)
Clarifying that the walk is with the singer

Well if you take (well if you take)
Asking the listener to take the singer's hand

My hand babe (my hand babe)
Clarifying that the hand of the singer is the one being offered

We can go (we can go)
Clarifying that if the listener takes the singer's hand, they can go somewhere together

To a place (to a place)
Clarifying that the destination is a specific location

You ain't never seen before (seen before)
Implying that the destination is new and exciting

(Yeah) oh
A verbalization of excitement or anticipation

(Yeah) slow dance in the moonlight (moonlight)
Imagery of a romantic, slow dance in the moonlight

I'm just tryna set the mood right (mood right)
The singer's intention is to create the perfect atmosphere

I'm just doing what I do, do it over and over and over
Reiteration of the singer's preferred method of setting the right mood

Quickly wanna run with me now
Asking the listener to run with the singer

Swiftly just come with me now
Requesting the listener's quick response

Footsteps go to the beat now
Describing the synchronization of the listener's footsteps with the music's beat

It's just the way that, the way that
Referencing the listener's behavior

The way that you do it, babe (do it babe)
Complimenting the listener's actions

Oh I can say that, say that, say that
Asserting that the singer could pretend to behave

I behave (I behave)
Implying that the singer can act appropriately

But I'd be lying babe (I'd be lying babe)
Clarifying that the singer is not being truthful about behaving

Let's run away for a minute (away for a minute)
Proposing escaping for a brief period

Away for a minute babe (away for a minute)
Reiterating the plan to escape for a while

Just wanna wait for a minute (play for a minute)
Expressing the desire to have a brief moment to relax

A dream place for a minute, place for a minute babe
Describing the envisioned location as a haven

Hold up, I don't need no love
Announcing the singer's lack of interest in romantic love

I said that with a straight face, baby that's poker
Comparing the singer's bluff with the game of poker

Feel a lil sober, got it mixed in my soda
Suggesting the singer is slightly buzzed from an alcoholic drink mixed in a soda

I clean up good, aropa, dopa
Brags about the style of the singer's clothes

Baby I'm the shit but that's a good odor
Indicating that the singer has self-confidence but it isn't obnoxious

I'm a young star but my money look Yoda
Comparing the singer's financial power to Yoda, a powerful character in a famous movie series

Crib on the ocean, backyard boat shit
Boasting about owning a luxurious home by the sea and an attached boat dock

You hating on the internet, I couldn't even notice
Claiming that negative comments do not affect the singer

Tickets no service, we at the top working
Stating that the singer has the financial means for life's luxuries but is still working hard

Pop-pops is lurking, told her don't get nervous
Acknowledging the presence of law enforcement officers and reassuring a worried female companion

I don't swerve Suburbans, this a gold derby
Showing off an exceptional car without driving irresponsibly

Ferrari's and horses, I snap like tourist
Making a joke by comparing luxury cars to horses and the sound of taking photos like a tourist

No rug, I floor it, girl, come feel important
Inviting a female companion to join the singer in a fancy car ride

I'm all about a dollar, babe, banks call me Georgi
Reiterating the singer's focus on earning money, suggesting that they are so financially successful that banks have a colloquial name for them

Nine Five Rollie, nine six Kobe
Listing a 1995 luxury watch and a 1996 basketball icon

Tonight we gon' ball like Ginobili you know me
Inviting the listener to join in an extravagant lifestyle while referencing a retired basketball player

T-Raww
The singer's nickname, self-reference

JB
Reference to Justin Bieber, another artist on the song

Too fly never stop y'know why?
The singer will never stop appreciating their own style and success, a rhetorical question
