Bodak Yellow Lyrics
KSR
It's Cardi, ayy
Said, "I'm the shit, they can't fuck with me if they wanted to"
Said, "Lil bitch, you can't fuck with me if you wanted to"
These expensive, these is red bottoms, these is bloody shoes
Hit the store, I can get 'em both, I don't wanna choose
And I'm quick, cut a nigga off, so don't get comfortable, look
I don't dance now, I make money moves
Say I don't gotta dance, I make money move
If I see you and I don't speak, that means I don't fuck with you
I'm a boss, you a worker, bitch, I make bloody moves
Now she say she gon' do what to who? Let's find out and see
Cardi B, you know where I'm at, you know where I be
You in the club just to party, I'm there, I get paid a fee
I be in and out them banks so much, I know they're tired of me
Honestly, don't give a fuck 'bout who ain't fond of me
Dropped two mixtapes in six months, what bitch working as hard as me?
I don't bother with these hoes, don't let these hoes bother me
They see pictures, they say, "Goals," bitch, I'm who they tryna be
Look, I might just chill in some BAPE, I might just chill with your boo
I might just feel on your babe, my pussy feel like a lake
He wanna swim with his face, I'm like, "Okay"
I'll let him get what he want, he buy me Yves Saint Laurent
And the new whip, when I go fast as a horse, I got the trunk in the front
I'm the hottest in the street, know you prolly heard of me
Got a bag and fixed my teeth, hope you hoes know it ain't cheap
And I pay my mama bills, I ain't got no time to chill
Think these hoes be mad at me, their baby father run a bill
Said, "Lil bitch, you can't fuck with me if you wanted to"
These expensive, these is red bottoms, these is bloody shoes
Hit the store, I can get 'em both, I don't wanna choose
And I'm quick, cut a nigga off, so don't get comfortable, look
I don't dance now, I make money moves
Say I don't gotta dance, I make money move
If I see you and I don't speak, that means I don't fuck with you
I'm a boss, you a worker, bitch, I make bloody moves
If you a pussy, you get popped, you a goofy, you a opp
Don't you come around my way, you can't hang around my block
And I just checked my accounts, turns out, I'm rich, I'm rich, I'm rich
I put my hand above my hip, I bet you dip, he dip, she dip
I say I get the money and go, this shit is hot like a stove
My pussy glitter as gold, tell that lil bitch play her role
I just a-rove in a Rolls, I just came up in a Wraith
I need to fill up the tank, no, I need to fill up the safe
I need to let all these hoes know that none of their niggas is safe
I go to dinner and steak, only the real can relate
I used to live in the P's, now it's a crib with a gate
Rollie got charms, look like Frosted Flakes
Had to let these bitches know, just in case these hoes forgot
I just run and check the mail, another check from Mona Scott
Said, "Lil bitch, you can't fuck with me if you wanted to"
These expensive, these is red bottoms, these is bloody shoes
Hit the store, I can get 'em both, I don't wanna choose
And I'm quick, cut a nigga off, so don't get comfortable, look
I don't dance now, I make money moves
Say I don't gotta dance, I make money move
If I see you and I don't speak, that means I don't fuck with you
I'm a boss, you a worker, bitch, I make bloody moves
Meaning of Bodak Yellow
“Bodak Yellow” is a defiant anthem of unapologetic success and materialistic triumph delivered with Cardi B’s signature brash energy. The core theme revolves around establishing dominance after rising from humble beginnings, showcasing a rapid ascent fueled by shrewd business decisions and an undeniable swagger. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of newfound wealth – “red bottoms,” designer shoes, luxury cars (“new whip”), and expensive clothing like BAPE – not as a boastful display but as tangible evidence of her hard-won power. Cardi meticulously details her hustle, emphasizing her relentless work ethic with the repeated assertion that she "make money moves" rather than relying on traditional celebrity validation through dancing or attention-seeking behavior. The song’s aggressive delivery and blunt pronouncements – “I don't dance now, I make money moves” – directly challenge societal expectations of female artists, particularly those who previously prioritized image over substance.
Beyond the surface extravagance, "Bodak Yellow" reveals a shrewd and calculating businesswoman. Cardi highlights her financial independence, paying her mother’s bills and dismissing envious rivals (“Honestly, don't give a fuck 'bout who ain't fond of me?"). The references to cutting “niggas off” and maintaining an icy distance reflect a strategic approach to relationships, prioritizing self-preservation and continued success. Ultimately, the song isn’t just about acquiring wealth; it’s about establishing respect through demonstrable power and asserting a new narrative – Cardi B is not simply a pop star, but a force to be reckoned with, a “bodak yellow” representing her arrival as an undisputed queen of her genre.
