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" by Usher featuring Juicy J is an upbeat hip-hop track that talks about a man's love for his partner who works as a stripper. The opening lines celebrate Atlanta, where both Usher and Juicy J come from. Usher starts the track by reassuring his love: "Shawty, I don't mind if you dance on the pole, that don't make you a ho." He acknowledges that her job requires her to work until 3 AM, but as long as she comes home to him, it's all good. He encourages her to make her money and always hustles to get what she wants. Usher tells her to keep doing what she is good at, and he is proud of her.


The chorus is catchy and empowering: "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." These lyrics express the theme of the song, which shows that the man in the relationship does not judge his partner for her job and is confident in their relationship.


Moreover, Juicy J takes a verse in the song, in which he talks about his experience with strippers, saying that he is trying to make money, have a good time, and find a sexual partner. His lyrics embrace the strip club lifestyle and its sexual nuances. In detail, Juicy J raps: "I'm just tryna cut her up, tryna bust a nut, tryna take somebody bitch, turn her to a slut." The provocative verse might not be suitable for all listeners, but Juicy J succeeded in his approach by complementing Usher's softer tone and bringing a catchy rap element to the song.


In summary, "I Don't Mind" is a song that breaks down stereotypes and reinforces love above materialism. While casually referencing strip-club culture, it emphasizes confidence in trust in someone accompanied by uplifting beats that blend r&b and hip-hop.
