[Intro: Kool G. Rap]
Buck, buck, buck, buck
Cause I don't play clown
Buck, buck, buck
Take that with you all the way down

[Hook]
Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck
Buck, buck, buck
Take that with you all the way down
Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck
Up, up, up and away cause I don't play clown
Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck
Buck, buck, buck
Take that with you all the way down
Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck
Up, up, up and away cause I don't play clown

[Verse 1: Nicki Minaj]
Tell these bitches that I'm not the one
Some of them might get away but I'm poppin' one
I'm on the back of the bike just cockin' guns
German helmet, pumps and Versace stuns
I am the ninja, bitch named Ginger
Hope somebody got a couple limbs they can lend ya
Cause I'm the President, run up in ya resident
Say hello to the (gunshot) baddest bitch ya ever met
Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck
Sawed-off followed by the Mossberg Pump
When I come through it get hotter than a soup kitchen
I leave clips in your head like a beautician
I hit one, you hit one, that means who alive
But if they come back to Queens, that's a suicide
I got some killers, better tell these bitches who am I
In Italy already chilling with the tour guide

[Hook]
Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck
Buck, buck, buck
Take that with you all the way down
Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck
Up, up, up and away cause I don't play clown
Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck
Buck, buck, buck
Take that with you all the way down
Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck
Up, up, up and away cause I don't play clown

[Verse 2: Ransom]
Straight up, you can take this with you on the way down
Or way up, as long as my money gets paid up
My weight up, don't come into my lane with no layups
Get ate up, you see how much space your boy take up
Usually I'm calm though but when it come to long dough
I don't aim for the vest, hit you from the face up
When it's in a palm dough turn into a John Doe
I'm psycho, I think about this shit when I wake up
I don't want to starve kids, I want y'all to all live
So I'm gonna retire in a Lambo like Favre did
Aw shit, news flash dummy, I'm acting juvenile, that new cash money
It's buck, buck, buck, if dude act funny
I already told niggas don't do that to me
I'm blazing the four so watch what you say to your boy
Take that with you on your way to the morgue, one

[Hook]
Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck
Buck, buck, buck
Take that with you all the way down
Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck
Up, up, up and away cause I don't play clown
Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck
Buck, buck, buck
Take that with you all the way down
Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck
Up, up, up and away cause I don't play clown

Nicki Minaj

Born December 8, 1982, Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty, better known by her stage name Nicki Minaj, is a Trinidadian-American rapper, actress, singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur.

Nicki was discovered by Lil Wayne via her mixtapes Sucka Free and Beam Me Up Scotty, and broke into the mainstream as an artist signed to Wayne’s label Young Money Entertainment. Her first successful songs, “Your Love,” “Moment 4 Life” (with Drake), and the smash-hit “Super Bass,” are featured on her 2010 chart-topping debut album Pink Friday.

She continued her run with her second studio album, Pink Roman Reloaded, which contained “Starships,” a song which would further develop Nicki’s pop/rap style. “Starships” gave Nicki a Billboard milestone, when it charted for 21 weeks in the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100, a feat no other artist has achieved without the aid of streaming services.
