In this confrontational track, Nicki Minaj states her dominance over other female rappers, taking aim at those who question her status as the Queen of Rap. The song marks the debut of Red Ruby Da Sleeze, a new alter-ego created by Minaj, who emphasizes her superiority in the genre. Minaj specifically calls out several female rappers in the lyrics. They include: Megan Thee Stallion, whom she refers to as "Dorito bitches" (regarding Megan's appearance in a Doritos commercial). Latto, when she raps, "We don't be like Karen") (she called her "an entitled Karen" during a Twitter feud in the fall of 2022). Minaj starts the song with a reference to Chun-Li, the iconic character from the classic video game Street Fighter, whom she channeled in a 2018 track of the same name. Red Ruby Da Sleeze, Chinese on my sleeve These wannabe Chun-Li's, anyway Minaj sees Chun-Li as a symbol of female power, with her left arm bearing a Chinese tattoo that translates to "God Is Always With You." She also uses the Chun-Li metaphor to criticize other female rappers she perceives as imitating her style, asserting that she is the only true "Chun-Li" in the rap game. Go Grizzly and Cheeze Beats' production samples Lumidee's 2003 dancehall smash "Never Leave You (Uh-Oooh))." Lumidee's song has a gentle and entrancing vibe that contrasts with Minaj's combative lyrics. Atlanta producer Go Grizzly's other credits include "You Da Baddest" by Future featuring Nicki Minaj," and "Not The Only One" by Kevin Gates. Miami native Cheeze Beatz has also produced for Migos ("Handsome and Wealthy") and Cardi B ("Bartier Cardi"). Go Grizzly and Cheeze Beatz previously teamed up to create the beat for Drake and 21 Savage's "Pussy & Millions." Minaj interpolates "Never Leave You (Uh-Oh)" in the outro. She sends a message to her fans, rivals, and critics that she will never leave the rap game, regardless of the pressure to exit prematurely, as long as there is a demand for her music.

[Intro: Nicki Minaj]
Queen

[Verse 1: Nicki Minaj & Lumidee]
Only on them C's if it's breeze, Red Ruby Da Sleeze (Uh-oh, uh-oh)
Chinese on my sleeve, these wannabe Chun-Lis
Anyway, nǐ hǎo (Nǐ Hǎo, uh-oh)
Who the fuck told bitches they was me now? (Uh-oh, ooh)
I knew these bitches was slow, I ain't know these bitches senile (Ooh)
Married a shooter case you niggas tried to breathe loud (Brr-brr)
Boom your face off, then I tell him, "Cease fire"
I'm the A, B side
Seven-hundred on them horses when we fixin' to leave (Uh-oh)
But I don't fuck with horses since Christopher Reeves (Uh-oh)
(Uh-oh, uh-oh)
Gotta be careful when I dip, it's flips all in the whip
It's 40s with 30 clips, FN's with the switch
Guacamole with the taco, waitin' on El Chapo
Came in the Rolls and left low in a Tahoe


[Chorus: Nicki Minaj]
Bad gyal don't die-die-die (Brr)
Hundred rounds on that grrah-ta-ta
Real one lick a shot-ta-ta
She my lil' vibe, my lil' ah-ah-ah
Bad gyal don't run from nobody, like ah
Rude boy want me touchin' on his body, like yah
Boy affi dead if he ever diss me
And he know what to do if he ever miss me

[Bridge: Nicki Minaj]
Miss me with that na-na-na-na-na-na-na
I stay with my na-na-na-na-na-na-na
His ex hit him, he like, "Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah"
He want the bad gyal sleeze like that
Why I'm a tease like that?
Ill, na-na-na-na-na-na-na
He told me bring him that na-na-na-na-na-na-na
We don't be Karen like Donna-na-na-na-na-na
I like it when he grab my cheeks like that (Uh)
Why I'm a freak like that?

[Chorus: Nicki Minaj]
Bad gyal don't die-die-die
Hundred rounds on that grrah-ta-ta
Real one lick a shot-ta-ta
She my lil' vibe, my lil' ah-ah-ah
Bad gyal don't run from nobody, like ah
Rude boy want me touchin' on his body, like yah
Boy affi dead if he ever diss me
And he know what to do if he ever miss me

When the Queen leave, bitches wanna come out like a cockroach (Uh-oh, uh-oh)

Gun fingers like niggas doin' the bogle

Super fakks, that's word to Super Cat
We ah rude gyal youth and we nuh tek back we chat
'Cause bitches couldn't walk in my Crocs, that's word to Dundee
Just a bunch of airheads like Kelly Bundy
Man, these bitches so slow, man, they slower than sloths (Uh-oh, uh-oh)
Six-hundred horse, how you gon' catch the boss?
Caught 'em with they hand out, tryna catch the sauce (Uh-oh, uh-oh)
Thierry Mugler flow, tryna cut the cloth
See the difference is: I run businesses (Uh-oh, uh-oh)
If I ain't employ you, then what ya business is?
I'll have staff roll up, like, "What the business is?" (Uh-oh, uh-oh)
Oh, you don't know that my niggas kill witnesses?
[Chorus: Nicki Minaj]
Bad gyal don't die-die-die
Hundred rounds on that, grrah-ta-ta
Real one lick a shot-ta-ta
She my lil' vibe, my lil' ah-ah-ah
Bad gyal don't run from nobody, like ah
Rude boy want me touchin' on his body, like yah
Boy affi dead if he ever diss me
And he know what to do if he ever miss me, yeah
