Black Barbies Lyrics – Nicki Minaj ft. Mike WiLL Made-It

[Verse 1]
In this verse, Nicki Minaj mentions feeling the effects of strong sativa strain of marijuana, humorously suggesting that her mind is so altered that she's not even blinking. She reflects on new opportunities for making money and creating trends that others imitate. The description of being a "black barbie" with a perfect body and appearance underlines her self-assuredness. The reference to "Pink seats in the 'Rari" indicates luxury, and the line "Always fuck him like I'm sorry" suggests that she is taking control of her relationships. The following lines raise questions about protection and integrity, and there's a play on the Peter Piper nursery rhyme. The "triple decker" cake could symbolize Nicki Minaj's layers of personality and identity.

[Interlude]
The interlude briefly references Rae Sremmurd's song "No Flex Zone," adding a musical connection to the original song being sampled.

[Verse 2]
In this verse, Nicki Minaj expresses a disregard for those who are trying to show off ("silly nigga's flexin'"). She likens them to Joan of Arc, who was famously executed by being burned at the stake, implying that their behavior will lead to trouble. The reference to Donald Trump wanting her to go home might refer to political tensions at the time. Nicki Minaj boasts about her wealth and her dismissive attitude toward those who doubt her abilities. She plays with words, implying that they're "clown niggas" and sends them comedic "skits." She also claims that other female rappers can't match her skills and offers to send them tips to improve. The closing lines humorously assert her superiority, suggesting that these other artists are like her children.

[Interlude]
The second interlude is a repetition of the earlier one, again linking back to the original song's reference.

[Verse 3]
This verse contains a mix of wordplay and empowerment. Nicki Minaj references Popeye and Brutus, comparing herself and someone else in a relationship dynamic. The mention of being a Christian contrasts with her sense of inner peace ("Buddhist"). She addresses the notion that her male companions are skilled in various ways, including using weapons ("none of them cartoonists"). She continues to assert her confidence, highlighting her status as the "baddest" and "flyest." The verse also includes references to Trump, stocks, and NASDAQ, touching on her financial success. She questions where her competition's achievements are, suggesting they're not on her level.

[Outro]
The outro features Swae Lee of Rae Sremmurd singing about a girl who's a crowd pleaser, known by many, and a young person living with a carefree attitude. The lines evoke a sense of youthful energy, celebration, and carelessness.

Overall, "Black Barbies" is a blend of confident self-expression, social commentary, and playful wordplay that Nicki Minaj is known for. It highlights her unique style and her ability to address serious topics while maintaining an entertaining and catchy sound. ...Read Less
