To celebrate the release of Cardi B's debut album Invasion Of Privacy we've declared this week Cardi Week on Cool Accidents. To kick it off, we're digging into our favourite lyrics from the record.
"I'ma make a bowl of cereal with a teaspoon of bleach / Serve it to you like, 'Here you go, n***a, bon appétit'"
Thru Your Phone
Even on one of the most gentle songs on the record, Cardi finds a way to pull out one of the most vicious lines. This is classic Cardi - a hint of humour with a heap of bite.
"Is she a stripper, a rapper or a singer? / I'm busting bucks in a Bentley Bentayga / Ride through your hood like "Bitch, I'm the mayor!"
Drip
As much as Invasion Of Privacy is about her personal life it's also a celebration of her come-up. This is simultaneously a finger-up to the haters and a hands in the air moment.
"They said by now that I'll be finished, hard to tell. My little 15 minutes lasted long as hell, huh?"
I Do
This is a perfect line to include in the closer of the record. People tagged Cardi with the one-hit wonder tag almost immediately. On this album, she's given us 13.
"Ya bitch wanna party with Cardi"
Bartier Cardi
Literally everybody does.
"I'm a boss in a skirt, I'm a dog, I'm a flirt / Write a verse while I twerk, I wear off-white at church / Prolly make the preacher sweat, read the Bible, Jesus wept."
She Bad
A little bit of sweet, a little bit of savage but still keeping it classy at church in Off-White. To be fair, Cardi could make a believer of an atheist faster than any preacher could.
"Pop that pussy like poppin' pussy is goin' out of style / Pop that pussy while you work, pop that pussy up at church / Pop that pussy on the pole, pop that pussy on the stove / Make that pussy slip and slide like you from the 305."
Bickenhead
Bickenhead is the most gloriously ridiculous song on the record and she navigated this "pussy"-filled tongue twister like it ain't nothing.
"Everythin' your n***a want, I'm like a walkin' wishlist / I don't understand what this hate is about / How you gon' suck yo man dick with my name in yo mouth?"
Money Bag
There's no point throwing hate at Cardi because she's always going to turn it into a positive for herself.
"Leave his texts on read, leave his balls on blue / Put it on airplane mode so none of those calls come through"
I Do
The best iMessage metaphor to ever exist.
“I just want to break up all your shit/Call your mama phone, let her know that she raised a bitch”
I Do
We've never dated Cardi or done wrong by her and this line even hurts us.
“I need Chrissy Teigen/Know a bad bitch when I see one/ Tell RiRi I need a threesome.”
She Bad
A Chrissy Teigen-approved line that immediately catches you when listening to the record. Three of the baddest women in the game.
