Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
Usher, baby
This is for the A

Shawty, I don't mind if you dance on a pole
That don't make you a ho
Shawty, I don't mind when you work until three
If you're leaving with me
Go make that money, money, money
Your money, money, money
'Cause I know how it is, go and handle your biz
And get that money, money, money
Your money, money, money
You can take off your clothes
Long as you coming home, girl, I don't mind

The ballers in here tonight, they gon' buy a hundred bottles
As soon as you shake it I know they gon' make it colossal in here
'Cause shawty you thinkin' them tricks that you do with your body
Got all of these niggas they crowding around you like they seen Beyoncé in here (she here, she here)
You want your own and you need your own, baby, who am I to judge? (Who am I to judge?)
'Cause how could I ever trip about it when I met you in the club? (Met you in the club)
I make enough for the both of us, but you dance anyway
You know I was raised in the A

Shawty, I don't mind if you dance on a pole
That don't make you a ho
Shawty, I don't mind when you work until three
If you're leaving with me
Go make that money, money, money
Your money, money, money
'Cause I know how it is, go and handle your biz
And get that money, money, money
Your money, money, money
You can take off your clothes
Long as you coming home, girl, I don't mind

When you get off of work I'll be ready to go in the 'Rari
And when we get home we'll have us our own private party in here
So I don't worry at all about the things they do or say
I love you anyway
You can twerk while in a split, you racking up them tips
Your body rock and your booty poppin', I'm proud to call you my bitch
They be lookin', but they can't touch you, shawty, I'm the only one to get it
So just go ahead and keep doing what you do, do it

Shawty, I don't mind if you dance on a pole
That don't make you a ho
Shawty, I don't mind when you work until three
If you're leaving with me
Go make that money, money, money
Your money, money, money
'Cause I know how it is, go and handle your biz
And get that money, money, money
Your money, money, money
You can take off your clothes (let's get it, yeah)
Long as you coming home, girl, I don't mind (it's ya boy Juicy J)

I'm just tryna cut her up, tryna bust a nut
Tryna take somebody bitch, turn her to a slut
Tryna fill my cup, tryna live it up
Throw some hundreds on that ass, walk her out the club
(Yeah, ho) uh, lap dance for the first date
Bet I threw a few bands, that's third base
It's okay if you work late, we can still party like it's your birthday
We can still party hard in your birthday suit
Knock that pussy out the park like my name Babe Ruth
Shawty she just want a tip, I just want to see her strip
If you fuck me like you love me shawty you might get rich
Have her own cake, her own place, blow her own gas, no Rolaid
When we in the bed she like to roleplay, tell her friend to join in both ways

Shawty, I don't mind if you dance on a pole (no, yeah)
That don't make you a ho
I don't mind when you work until three (don't mind)
If you're leaving with me
Gotta move you gotta make that money, money, money
Your money, money, money
'Cause I know how it is, girl go and handle your biz
And get that money, money, money
Make your money, money, money




You can take off your clothes
Long as you coming home, girl, I don't mind

Overall Meaning

The song "I Don't Mind" performed by Usher featuring Juicy J, is a track that tries to challenge the misconceptions that people have about women who work as strippers. Usher acknowledges the fact that the society slut-shames and labels them in a derogatory manner, and he wants his listeners to appreciate that making a living by dancing on poles does not make them a "ho." In the song, Usher also tries to make it clear that he does not mind when his lady friend works until three in the morning to make that money. He explicitly encourages her to go ahead, handle her business and get that money.


The lyrics of the song have a somewhat empowering and uplifting message about making money on your own terms. Usher lets his lady know that he's not going to criticize her for being a stripper or for performing lap dances as long as she comes back home with him. The lyrics also recognize that women can be breadwinners and that they have a right to pursue their dreams and make money on their terms. The lyrics of the chorus are unambiguous, and they urge the women to go ahead and make that money while Usher himself seems to appreciate and have respect for their hustle.
