Cardi B è tornata con un nuovo singolo (e un video super trash), Up

Dopo il successo della hit WAP (il featuring con Megan Thee Stallion rilasciato il 7 agosto 2020) Cardi B è tornata con della nuova musica. La rapper americana ha appena pubblicato il nuovo singolo, Up e in poche ore il suo nome è arrivato al primo posto dei Trend Topic di Twitter US con 150.000 tweet. La canzone è in pieno stile Cardi B, perfetta per shakerare il ‘backstage’, ma la vera perla di questo comeback è il video musicale. Vi dico solo che la clip inizia con Cardi B che twerka su una tomba e continua con lei che limona con delle bellocce come se non ci fosse un domani.

La parte più bella? Il chiaro omaggio alla regina Loredana Lecciso e alle sue esibizioni a Buona Domenica nella conchiglia.

Cardi B: il testo di Up.

Look, they gave a b two options: strippin’ or lose
Used to dance in a club right across from my school
I said “dance” not “f”, don’t get it confused
Had to set the record straight ’cause b love to assume
Mama couldn’t give it to me, had to get at Sue’s
Lord only knows how I got in those shoes

I was covered in dollars, now I’m drippin’ in jewels
A b play with my money? Might as well spit in my food
B hated my guts, now they swear we was cool
Went from makin’ tuna sandwiches to makin’ the news
I started speakin’ my mind and tripled my views
Real b, only thing fake is the boobs

Get money, go hard, you’re right

Never been a fraud in my life
Get money, go hard, damn right
Stunt on these b out of spite
Ain’t no runnin’ up on me, went from nothin’ to glory
I ain’t tellin’ y’all to do it, I’m just tellin’ my story
I don’t hang with these b ’cause these b be corny
And I got enough bras, y’all ain’t gotta support me
Only person in my fam to see six figures
The pressure on your shoulders feel like boulders
When you gotta make sure that everybody straight

B stab you in your back while they smilin’ in your face
Talking crazy on your name, trying not to catch a case
Said “I was just tryna chill and make bangers” (bangers)
Tell all these old b they in danger (stop)
The thing on my hip whip b into shape (brrrt)
That’s what I call a waist trainer
You gon’ run up on who and do what? (who?)
I think y’all got your story screwed up (yeah)

I came here to ball, is you nuts?
I don’t want your punk-ass man, I’m too tough (facts)
I’m the one that’s killin’ shit, hands down (hands down)
If you got a problem with me, say it now (say it)
Cause I don’t wanna hear no sneak dissin’ (huh?)
‘Specially not from one you weak b
I’m on go like I don’t see no stop lights (skrrt)
I’m steppin’ out every day, prom night (facts)
So if it’s all love, show me love then (huh?)
‘Cause you hatin’ on a b, that’s what it sounds like

Hoodie, low, that’s how I’m pullin’ up
Just cause I been on the road don’t mean I been on the run
And you gon’ have to learn to hold your tongue or hold the gun
(Brrrt, woo)
And we all know you ain’t that type (no)
I smack you and the b that you act like (yeah)
I started gettin’ money, b upset (cash)
Nails done, hair lit, keep them both laced (laced)

He-headshot, headshot, tell ’em closed case
I don’t trust no, I don’t fear no b
They say I’m too that, oh, I’m too this
When you seen what I’ve seen, you end up like this (woo)
I walked into the label, “Where the check at?” (where the check?)
Cardi B on the charts, ain’t expect that
Where that that was claimin’ she a threat? (where?)

They say I’m too ratchet, they say I act wild (I act wild, wild)
I’m tryna whip the foreign like a bad ass child (bad ass child, skrrt)
They caught me slippin’ once, tell ’em try that now (try that now)
Cardi B, know it’s me, hear that “blap” sound (blap!)
Man, I said we gon’ win

Knock me down nine times but I get up ten
Look myself in the mirror, I say we gon’ win
Knock me down nine times but I get up ten
Look myself in the mirror, I say we gon’ win
Knock me down nine times but I get up ten
Yeah, but I get up ten

Knock me down nine times but I get up ten
Yeah, I said we gon’ win
Knock me down nine times but I get up ten
