Okay, okay, okay
Told her bust it open she said okay
But what she wearin? Chanel & Dolce
How she want it? Beat up like O.J
Skurt, skurt on a bitch nigga
How much time do you got for a rich nigga?
I need that while I'm relaxin' and the bitch knows gymnastics
So kickin' up out her legs on this dick like a fraction

Right, right, left, hit 'em with that right, left
I got that best stroker, I don't need no pipe test
My dick work girl I don't need no mic check
No panties on I can see your pussy through that white dress
I ain't trippin baby girl make that money
Cause if I fuck her right she just might give some to me
And better yet, fuck with me for better sex
I know all the right spots to keep that punani wet

Girl you know you look fine when you stare like that
You know I bought you that Chanel right?
You know I fuck you like I'm fresh outta of jail right?
And if you cheated on me I won't care right?

Never pay for it, but I could explore it
Have your tongue out and legs cocked open like Jordan
She just wanna strip and make a million right?
So she could get rich and feed the children right?
She ain't got no ass shots her shit real, yo
Got her checkin in with me like I was a P.O

Overall Meaning

The song "Left Right" by YG featuring DJ Mustard is a fast-paced track that talks about the rapper's sexual exploits and his fondness for women who know how to move their bodies. The song has a catchy beat and aggressive lyrics that cater to the "booty-shaking" culture popular in many nightclubs. In the first verse, YG insinuates that he prefers sexually adventurous women, requesting that a woman "bust it open," and asking how she wants it beat up, like O.J. Simpson beat up his ex-wife.

The second verse is dedicated to YG's admiration for women who strip to make money for themselves and their families. He disregards makeup and broke women and seeks out the "bad bitches" who know how to throw it back better. The chorus is repeated multiple times, whereby YG tells the woman to move left, right, left, right, as she drops her ass low.

The lyrics of "Left Right" glorify sexual exploits and objectify women. Although the song is fun and upbeat, it reinforces the myth that women are only good for satisfying men's sexual urges. The song is a typical representation of rap music that caters to male dominance over women.
