Ludacris Ft. Nicki Minaj - My Chick Is Bad







My bad chick- Nicki Minaj

My chick bad, my chick hood
My chick do stuff that yo' chick wish she could
My, my chick bad, my chick hood
My chick do stuff that yo' chick wish she could

My, my chick bad, better, better than yours
My, my chick bad, better, better than yours
My, my, my chick bad, better, better than yours
My, my chick bad, better, better than yours

Listen, I'm saying my chick bad, my chick hood
My chick do stuff that yo' chick wish she could
My chick bad, better than yours
My chick do stuff that I can't even put in words

Her swagger don't stop, her body won't quit
So, fool, pipe down, you ain't talkin' 'bout shit
My chick bad, tell me if you've seen her
She always bring the racket like Venus and Serena

All white top, all white belt
And all white jeans, body looking like milk
No time for games, she's full grown
My chick bad, tell your chick to go home

My chick bad, my chick hood
My chick do stuff that yo' chick wish she could
My, my chick bad, my chick hood
My chick do stuff that yo' chick wish she could

My, my chick bad, better, better than yours
My, my chick bad, better, better than yours
My, my, my chick bad, better, better than yours
My, my chick bad, better, better than yours

Now your girl might be sick but my girl sicker
She rides that dick and she handles her liquor
I knock a bitch out and fight
Comin' out swingin' like Tiger Woods's wife

Yeah, she can get a lil' hasty
Chicks better cover up their chests like pasty's
Couple girlfriends and they all a lil' crazy
Comin' down the street like a parade, Macy's

I fill her up, balloons
Test her and guns get drawn like cartoons
Doh, but I ain't talk about Homer
Chick so bad, the whole crew wanna bone her

My chick bad, my chick hood
My chick do stuff that yo' chick wish she could
My, my chick bad, my chick hood
My chick do stuff that yo' chick wish she could

My, my chick bad, better, better than yours
My, my chick bad, better, better than yours
My, my, my chick bad, better, better than yours
My, my chick bad, better, better than yours

Now will these bitches wanna try and be my bestie?
But I take a left and leave 'em hangin' like a testie
Trash talk to 'em, then I put 'em in a hefty
Running down the court, I'm dunkin' on 'em, Lisa Leslie

It's going down, basement
Friday, the 13th, guess who's playing Jason?
Tuck yourself in, you better hold on to your teddy
It's nightmare on Elm Street and guess who's playing Freddy?

Chef cooking for me, they say my shoe came crazy
The mental asylum looking for me
You a rookie to me, I'm in that wham-bam-purple-lam
Damn, bitch, you been a fan

My chick bad, my chick hood
My chick do stuff that yo' chick wish she could
My, my chick bad, my chick hood
My chick do stuff that yo' chick wish she could

My, my chick bad, better, better than yours
My, my chick bad, better, better than yours
My, my, my chick bad, better, better than yours
My, my chick bad

And when we all alone, I might just tip her
She slides down the pole like a certified stripper
When we all alone, I might tip her
She slides down the pole like a certified stripper

When we all alone, I might just tip her
She slides down the pole like a certified stripper
When we all alone, I might tip her
She slides down the pole like a certified stripper



My bad chick- Nicki Minaj. I can't stand her in all of her songs. She sounds like a squeaky mouse, and her tone is very annoying. I think her lyrics are non-sense. They are really hard to understand, are irrelevant, and have no meaning. Hate to say it but she does have a good flow, if only what she said had some relevance. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me, just like her lyrics. The first line simply creates a disturbing imagery. Not to mention the fact that her song grammar is horrible. Although this song is not loaded with obscenities there are definite violent and angry undertones. She sounds like a squeaky mouse, and her tone is very annoying.

True meaning behind Drops of Jupiter by Train?


This song is about a girl/woman who left a man (possibly a boyfriend) with whom she was very close to at one point. She left thinking that there was more out there for her. While gone, she got caught up in the pretentious trends of the day (like tai-bo, soy lattes etc.) and got lost in it all. In the song the man rhetorically/sarcastically asks her if her mind was blown, if she was swept off her feet and how it felt to get there only to realize that it's not all that (that the "lights were faded" and it was "overrated"). However he loved her enough to let her know she needed to make these realizations on her own. Upon her return to the "atmosphere", he is still there for her. The theme is love's crazy effect on a man, and the tone is half-somber to jubilant mirth. It is a love song. I believe it is about a man talking about a woman with whom he was obviously in love with moments, but she has left him. I’m sure most people have been trough that, and then when she "grows up" or gets fed up with whatever she was doing, partying, working etc. He is obviously still hurt about her leaving and lashes back a bit with "Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star One without a permanent scar And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself". For me, Drops of Jupiter’s lyrics are a metaphor for the process I went through in learning what is precious in life and love, and in learning what is real. I spent a lot of time out of the atmosphere, falling for shooting stars, looking for myself... but in the end, all of the things that I thought would be heaven, were overrated. I love this song, and I think it is very inspirational. This is definatly a metaphor song

"Now that she's back in the atmosphere"
It means a girl that apparently went away and now she’s back in picture or memory.

"With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey"
very simple sentence. When you look at our solar system, our biggest planet is Jupiter. And its color is red. He’s (the poet) is referring to her hair color (drops of Jupiter. long hair reddish. Jupiter’s color.


"She acts like summer and walks like rain"
Her acting is dry as summer and when she walks she has that beautiful pose describing that love looks beautiful.

"Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey"
This refers that people change no matter what, we evolve and change.

"Since the return from her stay on the moon"
This is a metaphor. Referring to an amazing adventure.
This could be the girl he loves, left and came back. It could also be that she went to the city and simply came back.

"She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey"
Spring is one of the four temperate seasons, the transition period between winter and summer. Spring refers to the season, ideas of rebirth, renewal and regrowth also is the time were flowers are very colorful. So she is a good listener but when she talks, she’s dry as June when summer time begins.

"Tell me did you sail across the sun"
This is the guy asking her how was that adventure. Passing across the sun...

"Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated"
Let say we could travel all the way to the Milky Way constellation, all the lights from earth and our solar system will fade. This means that when she left to her adventure far away lights from were the guy was faded (referring to love fading away) but once she got to that place (the city) what she might thought it was exiting which refers to heaven is over populated, society, lots of people. But when she got to the city she was no different from any other.

"Tell me, did you fall from a shooting star"
When in love refers to shooting star is something speechless cause of the neutrality of a shooting star. He refers to this, as disappointment when she went to the city or the place she visited she might think it would've been different.

"One without a permanent scar"
No scar, no pain.

"And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there"
Asking her if she missed him when they were separtated.


"Now that she's back from that soul vacation"
this speaks for it self.


"Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey"
Tracing her new life.

"She checks out Mozart while she does tae-boo"
She likes to listen to classical music while she does aerobics, so she must be beautiful physicly.

"Reminds me that there's room to grow, hey, hey"
This means that if she can do it so can I(author of song)

"Now that she's back in the atmosphere"
Now that she’s back in the picture.

"I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain old' Jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land"
This refers to an American saying plain old' Jane which means a girl that is plain, ordinary and not especially memorable or special.

"Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet"
This is he asking if she liked her adventure so bad that she was swepted off her feet.

"Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day”?
She finally had the chance to get to know other parts of the world and be happy about it and enjoy it

"And head back to the Milky Way"
Coming back to town, coming back home

"And tell me, did Venus blow your mind"
Adventure to another planet, refers to another place far away.

"Was it everything you wanted to find”?
If it was worth it?

"And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there"
Speaks for itself


"Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken”?
No love, no pride, and apparently in their town they use to eat deep-fried chicken while enjoying their romantic moment together. But since she left there’s nothing of that out of town.

"Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong"
Her best friend always sticking up for her even though she’s wrong. So apparently her BFF sticks her nose in their relationship.

"Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone
Conversation"
This refers as that first night they both danced, what they both felt. No romance and talking over the phone for 5hrs every day with him obviously.

"The best soy latte that you ever had, and me"
Refers to "she won’t have anything better than him. Is him telling her over the 5hr conversation which apparently she was having a great soy latte. He tells her that the soy latte and him are the only good things she will have in life.

Good Song - Drops of Jupiter by Train

Lyrics:

Drops of Jupiter - Train




Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there’s time to change, hey, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the Moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

Tell me, did you sail across the sun?
Did you make it through the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated

Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star?
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?

Now that she’s back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there’s room to grow, hey, hey,hey

Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
I’m afraid that she might think of me as...
plain ol’ Jane told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet?
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way?
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind?
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you,
Even when I know you’re wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze-dried romance, Five-hour phone conversation,
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet?
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day?
And head back toward the Milky Way
