Yeah,
Uh oh,
Yea
Hey Barbie, ah, ah, ah, are you into black men?
He hey hey barbie! Hey I can be your black ken
Wow! cause' once you go black, you never go back
She wore her hair black, with curls in the back
Then I fell to the mat, and after that
Everything went black!
Baby one, two, three
Tell 'em get the referee
'Cause he can, get the knockout
If the telephone rings
Its an emergency
'Cause he can, get the knockout
Get the knockout
Hey Barbie, can I call you Barbra? ha ha
Hey Barbie! can I call you tomorrow, and today
'Cause once you go black, you never go back
And once you go Wayne, everybody else is whack
Then she threw that a** back, back, back,
Then I fell to the mat
And after that everything went black!
Baby one, two, three
Tell 'em get the referee
'Cause he can, get the knockout
If the telephone rings
Its emergency
'Cause he can, get the knockout
Get the knockout
Awe f*** it
Give me that damn bucket
Wh-when I throw this p****
You better not start duckin'
Oh yo
How long with the blow
Lo-look out in the crowd
And everybody's yellin' no
Grab him by his locks
And get the message out the box
The head hit below the belt
I wanna give him the talk
Tock, tock
Give him good top
And if it hit below the belt
I wanna give him good top
One, two, three
They yellin' one, two, three
I done hit him with that motherf***in' c*** two piece
Tell 'em, tell 'em the mop out
To late to cop out
Give him more head than toothpaste like I locked out
Baby one, two, three
Tell 'em get the referee
'Cause he can, get the knockout
If the telephone rings
Its an emergency
'Cause he can, get the knockout
Get the knockout
So just knock me out
So just knock me out
Yea
Just knock me out
So just knock me out
Just knock me out
Just knock me out
Just knock me out
Just knock me out
The lyrics of “Knockout” by Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj speak about Nicki's sexual advances towards Lil Wayne. The opening verse has Lil Wayne complimenting Nicki's attractiveness and asking if she likes Black men. He even describes himself as a Black Ken doll that she could be interested in. The next verse has Nicki making sexual moves on Lil Wayne and throwing her body back in a seductive manner. Lil Wayne gets caught up in the moment but eventually "falls to the mat" and blacks out, indicating an orgasm.
The chorus of the song tells a story of a boxing match, where Wayne and Nicki are the fighters, and the person they are fighting cannot withstand their sexual prowess. The lyrics suggest that the intensity of their love making is comparable to a boxing match where one person would get knocked out. The two take turns saying lines like “tell them to get the referee”, “give him good top”, and “just knock me out”, alluding to their sexual abilities being on another level.
In conclusion, the lyrics of “Knockout” by Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj are clearly suggestive, talking about their sexual chemistry and prowess. The idea of comparing sex to a boxing match may seem crass but is described in a way that is equal parts captivating and intriguing.
