Want Some More by Nicki Minaj Lyrics Meaning – Unpacking the Ambition and Success Narrative
Lyrics
(Metro Boomin want some more, nigga)
Want some more
Want some more
Even though a nigga been getting to it
Want-want-want some more
(Still, want some more)
Want some more
Want some more
Every time I end up getting it
Want-want-want-want some more
When they start talking crazy that’s when I know that they
(Want some more)
I know that I’m getting it, but fuck it ’cause I
(Want some more)
When they start talking crazy that’s when I know that they
(Want some more)
Every time I end up getting it
Want-want-want-want some more
I’m in this bitch, I’m getting money
One minute they hate me then they love me
Ain’t got nothing for me, these dudes is funny
That’s why I’m throwing shade like it’s sunny
Who had Eminem on the first album?
Who had Kanye saying, “She a problem”?
Who the fuck came in the game made her own cologne?
Who made Lil Wayne give ’em five million?
Why the fuck I gotta say it, though?
You niggas don’t know it yet?
Football touchdown on the Boeing jet
You my son, but I’m just not showing yet
Wrist icy, but it ain’t snowing yet
You can tell I’m the illest ’cause my dividend is the biggest
Bitches ain’t sitting with us, all my niggas in Margielas (oh!)
Is pigs flying? Is these bitches trying me?
They think it’s sweet? Oh, these bitches got diabetes
You seen that list? It was me, Baby, Jay Z and Diddy
Want-want-want-want some more
Want some more
Even though a nigga been getting to it
Want some more
(Still want some more)
Want some more
Want some more
Every time I end up getting it
Want-want-want-want some more
When they start talking crazy that’s when I know that they
(Want some more)
I know that I’m getting it, but fuck it ’cause I
(Want some more)
When they start talking crazy that’s when I know that they
(Want some more)
Every time I end up getting it
Want-want-want-want some more (yo)
(Yo)
I’m in this bitch I’m high-saditty
I popped a Perc and I said thank you
I’m popping tags everyday, it look like my B-Day
These bitches suck, so I nickname these bitches BJ
They want that union,they want that D. Wade
I tell a ho just be happy they getting leeway
My name Barbie, bitch (my name Barbie, bitch)
Alexander, made me Queen
I’m pulling up with the King, I’m late to my own party, bitch
Want it, I get it, I don’t be wanting for nothing
I mean, I do what I do and it must be counting for something
I don’t be jumping from topic to topic, stay in my pocket
I got your rent in my pocket, so can I pay you to pop it?
Cash Money, getting six albums
No bitch niggas on a bitch album
You niggas apologize when a nigga diss you?
That’s a big problem
Want-want-want-want some more
Want some more
Even though a nigga been getting to it
Want-want-want-want some more
(Still want some more)
Want some more
Want some more
Every time I end up getting to it
Want-want-want-want some more
When they start talking crazy that’s when I know that they
(Want some more)
I know that I’m getting it, but fuck it ’cause I
(Want some more)
When they start talking crazy that’s when I know that they
(Want some more)
Every time I end up getting it
Want-want-want-want some more
Nicki Minaj’s ‘Want Some More,’ produced by the ingenious minds of Zaytoven and Metro Boomin’, is a track laced with braggadocio, a testament to insatiable ambition, and the irrepressible human desire to keep pushing boundaries. It’s an embodiment of unapologetic self-success that chronicles the tale of a relentless ascent in the echelons of hip-hop and the music industry.
Strip away the pulsating beats, the hypnotic cadence, and the minute details, and ‘Want Some More’ serves up a banquet of insightful themes that touch upon success, the voracious appetite for more accomplishments, and the dynamics of recognition in the world of celebrity.
2010s Nostalgia: A Look Back at the Rise
Minaj isn’t just spinning verses; she’s recounting history. The song is peppered with references to her early achievements – working with titans like Eminem and Kanye West – serenading listeners with a nostalgic trip back to her debut album, ‘Pink Friday.’ She’s marking her territory in the pantheon of hip-hop, reminding us why her name echoes in the halls of modern rap.
These references don’t just serve to jog memories; they underscore a pattern of mind-boggling successes that Minaj has racked up over the years. There’s a specific purpose to the name-dropping—it paints the picture of a relentless grind that doesn’t lose momentum, but rather builds an empire, brick by brick.
An Insatiable Appetite for More: The Titular Echo
Throughout the song, the phrase ‘Want Some More’ is repeated like a mantra—reflecting the perpetual dissatisfaction that fuels Minaj’s drive. In the competitive rap game, complacency is akin to defeat, and the lyrics convey that to stay ahead, one must maintain the hunger for more triumphs, more respect, and more impact.
The repetition serves as a heartbeat for the song, illustrating that the pursuit of excellence is an ongoing war, not just a battle won with a single successful album or hot single. It’s a mindset, a lifestyle, and a philosophy that Minaj embodies and encourages.
Throwing ‘Shade like It’s Sunny’: The Craft of Clever Wordplay
One cannot delve into ‘Want Some More’ without tipping their hat to the skillful wordplay Minaj employs. The clever puns such as ‘Throwing shade like it’s sunny,’ and ‘Oh these bitches got diabetes,’ are not only memorable lines that give the song its razor-sharp edge, but they also serve a dual purpose.
Beyond entertainment, these lines cut deeper, revealing the social nuances of her career: the fickle nature of public adoration (‘One minute they hate me then they love me’) and the sweet, sometimes unhealthy obsession of her critics and competitors (‘They think it’s sweet? Oh these bitches got diabetes’).
Breaking Down the ‘Hidden’ Message Behind the Bravado
It’s easy to get caught up in the braggadocious exterior, but ‘Want Some More’ hides beneath its surface a commentary on gender dynamics in a male-dominated industry. Minaj isn’t just flaunting her achievements; she’s dismantling expectations and pushing back against the notion that female rappers have a lower ceiling of success.
The aggression and dominance in her tone, mixed with the enumeration of her accomplishments among industry giants – ‘You seen that list? It was me, Baby, Jay Z and Diddy’ – isn’t just a self-celebration. It’s a statement about the capability and rightful place of women at the hip-hop table.
The Cultural Impact of Minaj’s Chronicles of Success
Nicki Minaj’s narrative is not just her own; it’s a cultural footprint that speaks to the dream chasers, the go-getters, and anyone climbing the ladder to their own version of success. ‘Want Some More’ adds to the rich tapestry of hip-hop stories that both inspire and challenge listeners to reflect on their ambitions.
More than a catchy tune, the song reinforces the idea that the zest for more is universal. It serves as a musical iteration of the adage ‘success breeds success,’ and in doing so, continues to shape the culture, motivating listeners long after the track ends.
