Lyrics for Nicki Minaj – Anaconda
Intro
My anaconda don’t, my anaconda don’t
My anaconda don’t want none unless you got buns, hunVerse 1
Boy toy named Troy used to live in Detroit
Big dope dealer money, he was gettin’ some coins
Was in shootouts with the law, but he live in a palace
Bought me Alexander McQueen, he was keeping me stylish
Now that’s real, real, real
Gun in my purse, bitch, I came dressed to kill
Who wanna go first? I had them pushing daffodils
I’m high as hell, I only took a half a pill
I’m on some dumb s***, by the way, what he say?
He can tell I ain’t missing no meals
Come through and f*** him in my automobile
Let him eat it with his grills and he tellin’ me to chill
And he telling me it’s real, that he love my sex appeal
Say he don’t like ‘em boney, he want something he can grab
So I pulled up in the Jag, and I hit him with the jab like
Dun-d-d-dun-dun-d-d-dun-dunPre-Chorus
My anaconda don’t, my anaconda don’t
My anaconda don’t want none unless you got buns, hunChorus
Oh my gosh, look at her butt
Oh my gosh, look at her butt
Oh my gosh, look at her butt
(Look at her butt)
Look at, look at, look at
Look, at her buttVerse 2
This dude named Michael used to ride motorcycles
Dick bigger than a tower, I ain’t talking about Eiffel’s
Real country-a** n****, let me play with his rifle
Pussy put his a** to sleep, now he calling me NyQuil
Now that bang, bang, bang
I let him hit it cause he slang cocaine
He toss my salad like his name Romaine
And when we done, I make him buy me Balmain
I’m on some dumb s***, by the way, what he say?
He can tell I ain’t missing no meals
Come through and f*** him in my automobile
Let him eat it with his grills, and he telling me to chill
And he telling me it’s real, that he love my sex appeal
He say he don’t like ‘em boney, he want something he can grab
So I pulled up in the Jag, Mayweather with the jab like
Dun-d-d-dun-dun-d-d-dun-dun…Pre-Chorus
My anaconda don’t, my anaconda don’t
My anaconda don’t want none unless you got buns, hunChorus
Oh my gosh, look at her butt
Oh my gosh, look at her butt
Oh my gosh, look at her butt
(Look at her butt)
Look at, look at, look at
Look, at her buttBridge
Little in the middle but she got much back

My anaconda don’t want none unless you got buns, hunChorus
