About This Track

Released in October 2019 as the third single from 'Hot Pink', 'Rules' is a transactional proposition set to production from Salaam Remi, Tyson Trax, and Ben Billions. Doja Cat lays out terms of engagement with blunt precision, the hook a quid pro quo that refuses emotional entanglement whilst demanding financial commitment. The track follows 'Bottom Bitch' in the album's rollout, both singles establishing the LP's unvarnished approach to power dynamics and desire.

The video casts her as the boss of a 'Cat Mafia' gang, the visual conceit matching the song's hierarchical clarity. Lyrically, she dismisses rivals and suitors alike, the verses moving between boasts about vision and wealth and warnings against half-measures. The production leaves space for her delivery to shift between languid and pointed, the tempo measured enough to let every assertion land.

Co-written with Yeti Beats, Lydia Asrat, and Uptown AP of R. City, 'Rules' occupies the third slot on 'Hot Pink' when the album arrives in November 2019. It is a statement of terms, not an invitation to negotiate.

"Rules" is a single by Doja Cat, from the album Hot Pink, released 7th November 2019. The track is 3:07 long. It's filed under R&B/Soul. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 12 articles about Doja Cat.

Lyrics

Rules

Said play with my pussy, but don't play with my emotions (Emotions)
If you spend some money, then maybe I just might fuck ya (Fuck ya)
When I shake that ass, I'ma do this shit in slow motion (Motion)
You got a whole lotta cash, and nigga, you know I want it (Want it)
Play with my pussy, but don't play with my emotions (Emotions, yeah)
If you spend some money, then maybe I just might fuck ya (Fuck ya, yeah, yeah)
When I shake that ass, I'ma do this shit in slow motion (Motion, slow motion, yeah)
You got a whole lotta cash, and nigga, you know I want it (Want it, you know I want it)
Break some bread up, nigga, that butter my biscuit (Ha)
You ain't talk money, then really, that's none of my business (That's none of my biz)
I don't even need these lenses (Yeah)
20 on 20 my vision (Woo)
Bad yellow bitch with her eye on the prize
But nigga, I ain't no minion (Yeah, yeah)
Millions, thousands, billions (Trillions)
Bobs on me like Dylan
Blondes on me like Hilton
Wendy's on me like Williams, shouting, digging
Look at me like I'm alien, bitch, I'm fucking reptilian
Bitch, bitch, aw
All y'all bitches was wrong
Talkin' 'bout I fell off
You ain't even get on
Bitch, bitch, yaw
All y'all bitches is precious
Wait, I meant to say jealous
All y'all bitches is jealous
Bitch, bitch
Said play with my pussy, but don't play with my emotions (Emotions)
If you spend some money then maybe I just might fuck ya (Fuck ya)
When I shake that ass, I'ma do this shit in slow motion (Motion)
You got a whole lotta cash, and nigga, you know I want it (Want it)
Play with my pussy, but don't play with my emotions (Emotions, yeah)
If you spend some money, then maybe I just might fuck ya (Fuck ya, yeah, yeah)
When I shake that ass, I'ma do this shit in slow motion (Motion, slow motion, yeah)
You got a whole lotta cash, and nigga, you know I want it (Want it, you know I want it)
(And now you playin' with my emotions)
Nigga, don't do it, you blew it, you tryna cast spells on a bitch with potions
Nigga, I need devotion (leaving you with that lotion)
Telling me this and that, the third
That shit for the birds, I'm ghosting
If you don't dive in that pussy like dolphins
If you don't dive in that pussy like oceans
Twins look identically like Olsens
Nigga, don't hide from the pussy, be open
Nigga want spy on the pussy like Austin (do I make you horny, baby?)
That's my ego that you stroking
Nigga, don't laugh 'cause the pussy ain't joking
Nigga, go splash when the pussy be soakin' (Yeah)
Where that nigga who don't play mind games at?
You got a fake gold chain on, change that
Tryna spit game while I'm on my way out, late ass
Where that nigga, man? Where he at? Where he at?
Said play with my pussy, but don't play with my emotions (Emotions)
If you spend some money, then maybe I just might fuck ya (Fuck ya)
When I shake that ass, I'ma do this shit in slow motion (Motion)
You got a whole lotta cash, and nigga, you know I want it (Want it)
Play with my pussy, but don't play with my emotions (Emotions, yeah)
If you spend some money, then maybe I just might fuck ya (Fuck ya, yeah, yeah)
When I shake that ass, I'ma do this shit in slow motion (Motion, slow motion, yeah)
You got a whole lotta cash, and nigga, you know I want it (Want it, you know I want it)
