Lyrics for Nicki Minaj & Ice Spice – “Barbie World” (with Aqua)
[Intro: Lene Nystrøm & Ice Spice]
I’m always yours, ooh woah (Stop playin’ with ’em, RIOT)[Chorus: Ice Spice & Nicki Minaj]
And I’m bad like the Barbie (Barbie)
I’m a doll, but I still wanna party (Party)
Pink ‘Vette like I’m ready to bend (Bend)
I’m a ten, so I pull in a Ken
Like Jazzie, Stacie, Nicki (Grrah)
All of the Barbies is pretty (Damn)
All of the Barbies is bad
It girls (It girls) and we ain’t playin’ tag (Grrah)[Verse 1: Nicki Minaj]
Rad, but he spank me when I get bad
I’m in LA, Rodeo Drive
I’m in New York, Madison Ave
I’m a Barbie girl (Girl), Pink Barbie Dreamhouse
The way Ken be killin’ s*** got me yellin’ out like the Scream house (Woo)
Yellin’ out, we ain’t sellin’ out
We got money, but we ain’t lendin’ out
We got bars, but we ain’t bailin’ out
In that pink Ferrari, we peelin’ out
I told Tae bring the Bob Dylan out
That pussy so cold, we just chillin’ out
They be yellin’, yellin’, ye-yellin’ out
It’s Barbie, b****, if you still in doubt (Oh)[Chorus: Ice Spice & Nicki Minaj]
And I’m bad like the Barbie (Barbie)
I’m a doll, but I still wanna party (Party)
Pink ‘Vette like I’m ready to bend (Bend)
I’m a ten, so I pull in a Ken
Like Jazzie, Stacie, Nicki (Grrah)
All of the Barbies is pretty (Damn)
All of the Barbies is bad
It girls (It girls) and we ain’t playin’ tag (Grrah)[Verse 2: Ice Spice]
Barbie ain’t nothin’ to play ’bout
He wanna play in the Playhouse (Playhouse)
The f*** they gon’ say now? (Grrah)
I’m washin’ these b******, I’m rubbin’ the stain out
Like I’m ready to bend (Grrah)
All the fake Barbies just wanna pretend (Hey)
Like hold on, let me go find me a pen (Grrah)
Look where it led, now I’ma put it to bed
She a Barbie b**** with her Barbie clique (Grrah)
I keep draggin’ her, so she bald a bit (Damn)
And I see the bread, I want all of it (Damn)
And I want the green, so I olive it (Grrah)
And I throw it back, so he losin’ it (Like)
And I give the box with no shoes in it (Damn)
Yeah, I know the trick, so I got him bricked (Damn)
Yeah, they know who lit, me and Barbie, b****[Chorus: Ice Spice & Nicki Minaj]
And I’m bad like the Barbie (Barbie)
I’m a doll, but I still wanna party (Party)
Pink ‘Vette like I’m ready to bend (Bend)
I’m a ten, so I pull in a Ken
Like Jazzie, Stacie, Nicki (Grrah)
All of the Barbies is pretty (Damn)
All of the Barbies is bad
It girls (It girls) and we ain’t playin’ tag (Grrah)[Outro: Lene Nystrøm]
I’m a Barbie girl in the Barbie world
Life in plastic, it’s fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation
