Streets
Doja Cat ft. Nicki Minaj Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, uh huh
David Banner on the beat bitch
Ha ha ha
Young Money, Streets

I'm a east sider rider, whoa kemosabe
Bitches get to stepping like Cole, Gina, Tommy
Pussy is a weapon and my hoes think I'm Simon
And Simon say go and get my motherfucking money
Young mula bitch, tell them hoes, take their clothes off
And I don't hunt birds but I'll shoot you in your Mohawk
Yeah, flow nasty like coleslaw
Call me mister no flaw

Yeah, I sip drank and pop pills til I dose off
Wake up, grab the mic then I go's off
Too G for office, boss of all bosses
Crucify rappers, nail niggas to the crosses
I'm fresh out the slaughterhouse, blood on my apron
We Louisanimals, watch me let the gators in
I'm going on my paper run, a week at the Days Inn
Icing on my fingertips, I be getting cake in

I be getting cake then
Watching for the rats and trying not to get snakebit
It's that punting at your face shit
And if you scared, you better go and see Mase bitch
David Banner on the beat hoe
And I beat the beat up like Dee Bo
I got the game on TiVo
So I guess you can say The Streets Is Watchin'

I don't promise much but I promise you that it'll flow boy
Name Jay but you can call me Millzbury Doughboy
Silence on the nine but the chopper make mo' noise
But if the bitch scream, I'm a pop her, no noise
Bank account top solid, Truck nice and brolic
The rims sticking out like the shoulders on Dwight Howard
You niggas ain't G's you gents and quite coward
But I'll put you higher than flight pilots

I am petrifying, The metal turn to lightning
Burn through your clothes like an ion
I am no american idol, no Simon Cowell
Wack niggas throw in the towel
I'm getting money with the rap, pay me by the vowel
I'm hungry like a pack of wolves so I just howl
Holla, Cash rules everything around me
So I'ma get the money, dolla dolla bills in them hundreds

I be getting cake then
Watching for the rats and trying not to get snakebit
It's that punting at your face shit
And if you scared, you better go and see Mase bitch
David Banner on the beat hoe
And I beat the beat up like Dee Bo
I got the game on TiVo
So I guess you can say The Streets Is Watchin'

Ugh, yo, yo yo,
I'm a bad what? bout to get a mani-ped
I'm the big bad wolf and your granny dead
Even though I'm in Mexico
I rep New York like Plexico
Look, switch my name, now I'm celebrating Hanukkah
Lewinsky bitches, young money Monica
I been hot since hedgehog, Sonic the
So could you pass me the keys to the Tonica
I mean Tonka, That's the truck bitches
Fuck you and fuck all of you fuck bitches
Matter of fact, put some sprinkles on my cupcakes
And get ready to put your dimples in this duct tape

I be getting cake then
Watching for the rats and trying not to get snakebit
It's that punting at your face shit
And if you scared, you better go and see Mase bitch
David Banner on the beat hoe
And I beat the beat up like Dee Bo




I got the game on TiVo
So I guess you can say The Streets Is Watchin'

Overall Meaning

The song "Streets" by Doja Cat and Nicki Minaj is a fiery and energetic rap song that boasts the artists' skills and wealth. The lyrics are a mix of braggadocio and intimidation that highlight their confidence in their abilities and their position as powerful women. The song starts with a reference to David Banner, who produced the beat. Doja Cat begins with the line "I'm an East Sider rider, whoa Kemosabe," which is a reference to the Lone Ranger television show.


The first verse is about how "pussy is a weapon," and both artists have the power to use it to their advantage. The line "And Simon say go and get my motherfucking money" is a reference to Simon Says, a children's game, and showcases the idea that the artists won't stop until they get what they want. The second verse starts with Doja Cat saying that she drinks and pops pills until she falls asleep but wakes up refreshed and full of energy. Nicki continues the theme of power and control, saying that she's the boss of all bosses and isn't afraid to crucify rappers and nail them to crosses.


The chorus, "I be getting cake then, watching for the rats and trying not to get snake bit, it's that punting at your face shit, and if you're scared, you better go and see Mase bitch" is a continuation of the idea that the artists are always on top and won't back down from competition. They also won't let anyone try to harm or take advantage of them, and anyone who tries will face consequences.

He the type to pop tags and be cockin' the brim
Might breeze through the Ave, might stop at the gym
And he keep a du rag, keep the wave on swim
Wa' waves on swim so they hate on him
Anyway I think I met him sometime before
In a different life or where I record
I mean he was Adam, I think I was Eve
But my vision ends with the apple on the tree
'S' on my chest cause I'm ready to save him
Ready to get buck on anybody that plays him
And I think I love 'em, I love 'em, jus' like I raised him
When he call me momma, lil' momma, I call him baby
"S" on my chest lemme get my cape on
He's so thugged out, Ghostface and Raekwon
Konvict, just like Akon
Cause you know snitches be puttin' the Jake on

Damn papa, you a rare breed, no comparing

Let a hoe know, I ain't motherfuckin' sharing
I could take you to the parents, then to Paris
Plan a motherfuckin' wedding
You the type I wanna marry (Yeah) and keep you merry
I'll put the ring on when you ready

We play our fantasies out in real life ways and
No Final Fantasy, can we end these games though?
You give me energy, make me feel lightweight
Like the birds of a feather, baby
We real life made for each other
And it's hard to keep my cool
When other bitches tryna get with my dude and
When other chickens tryna get in my coop
'Cause you're a one in a million
There ain't no man like you

He the type to keep a couple hundred grand in the rubber band
Just left money gram in the lemon Lam'
Hot damn make me scream like summer jam
I mean that nigga must be from the motherland
Anyway I think I met him in the sky
When I was a geisha he was a samurai
Somehow I understood him when he spoke Thai
Never spoke lies and he never broke fly

'S' on my chest cause I'm ready to save him
Ready to get buck on anybody that plays him
And I think I love 'em, I love 'em, jus' like I raised him
When he call me momma, lil' momma, I call him baby

"S" on my chest lemme get my cape on
He's so thugged out, Ghostface and Raekwon
