創作背景
該歌曲的兩位演唱者妮琪·米娜和李爾·韋恩也參與了該歌曲的創作 。《High School》最初是妮琪·米娜打算收錄她的精選集《Playtime Is Over》中。在該歌曲的創作過程中,妮琪·米娜覺得不對勁,於是將之前刪除了的兩句歌詞He said he came from Jamaica和He owned a couple acres重新加入歌詞中。在該歌曲未發行前,妮琪·米娜為《Pink Friday:Roman Reloaded the Re-Up》選錄非首發單曲歌曲而發起一次投票,《High School》因得票數第二,故成為所在專輯的第三主打歌曲 。
歌曲歌詞
英文
He said he came from Jamaica, he owned a couple acres
A couple fake visas 'cause he never got his papers
Gave up on love fucking with them heart breakers
But he was getting money with the movers and the shakers
He was mixed with a couple things, bald like a couple rings
Bricks in the condo and grams to sing-sing
Left arm, baby mother tatted
5-year bid up North when they ratted
Anyway I felt him, helped him, put him on lock, seat-belt him
Took him out to Belgium, welcome
Bitches this pretty, that's seldom
This box better than the box he was held in
I'm Momma Dee in that order, I call him Daddy like daughters
He like it when I get drunk, but I like it when he be sober
That's top of the toppa, I never fuck with beginners
I let him play with my pussy then lick it off of his fingers, I'm in the zone
They holler at me, but it's you, you, this ain't high school
Me and my crew, we can slide through
Give it to you whenever you want, whip it whenever you want
Baby it's yours
Anywhere, everywhere, baby it's your world, ain't it? (alright)
Baby it's your world, ain't it?
Uh, she got a nigga at home and one on the side
Best friend is a dyke, they fucked around a few times
Her and her momma alike, so all they do is fight
I tell her "make me some money", she tell me "make me a wife"
I tell that bitch "you crazy, fuck wrong with you?"
And excuse my French, but I'm a long kisser
And then she try to tell me I'm the only one that's hitting
And I say "what about them niggas?" She say: "what about them niggas?"
You right, what you doing tonight?
Put on something tight, don't judge me, I'd get life
She love me like a brother, but fuck me like a husband
Pussy like a oven, too hot to put my tongue in
All I had to do is rub it, the genie out the bottle
Pussy so wet, I'mma need goggles
She tell me that's it's mine, I tell her "stop lying, mine and who else?"
She say worry about yourself Lil Tune
They holler at me, but it's you, you, this ain't high school
Me and my crew, we can slide through
Give it to you whenever you want, whip it whenever you want
Baby it's yours
Anywhere, everywhere, baby it's your world, ain't it?
Baby it's your world, ain't it?
I know you want it, boy
I see you tryin’
Just keep on pushin’
I'mmalet you slide in
Just close your eyes and
This horizon
It’s ready, come get you some
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
譯文
他說他來自牙買加,擁有兩三英畝地
他證件造假只因他無證件
已放棄和那些多愁善感之人一起性愛
但他和地位顯赫的成功人士一起廣開財路
他陷入一系列雜亂無章的瑣事中,孤獨得像一隻情侶戒指
公寓中成堆的毒品造就了教管所
左臂,紋著親愛的母親
五年的獄中生活令他改頭換面,不再偷竊
不論如何,我愛上了他,感受到他,幫助他,恨不得用安全帶將他牢牢鎖住
帶他領略比利時,歡迎光臨
婊子們看得順眼,那只是曇花一現
老娘的懷抱可比他監獄裡的破隔間好多了
他喜歡我醉酒沉迷的時候,我卻喜歡他清醒自控的狀態
因此我醉他醒時便是最完美的巔峰,老娘從來不和不會自控的人上床
我讓他玩弄著我的私處再用手指撥弄,我漸入佳境
我和我的助手,隨心所欲
他人待我無禮,但是你,你,這不同高中
給予你隨時想要的,實現你無論何時的願望
親愛的這都是你的
無論何地,任何地方,親愛的這是你的世界,難道不是嗎?(好了)
親愛的這是你的世界,難道不是嗎?
呃,她有一黑鬼在家而另一個在暗地
閨蜜是個女同性戀,她們時常性交
她和她媽相似,所以她們關係極差
我告訴她:“給我掙錢”,她回答我:“做我妻子”
我告訴那個婊子:“你喪心病狂,你被厄運纏身了?”
諒解我的法式,但我是個持久接吻者
隨後她嘗試讓我知道我是她的唯一
我問:“那其他黑鬼呢?”她回答:“關他人何事?”
你是對的,你今晚的打算如何?
穿上緊身服飾,別對我指手畫腳,我會掌管人生
她疼愛我如同弟弟般,但在男歡女愛時將我視作丈夫
陰道如爐火般,過於熾熱只得將舌深入
我嘗試摩擦著,讓神燈精靈面世
陰道濕漉漉,我需要防水鏡
她稱這屬於我,我說:“停止自欺欺人,除我之外還有誰?”
她說別杞人憂天李爾·杜恩
我和我的助手,隨心所欲
他人待我無禮,但是你,你,這不同高中
給予你隨時想要的,實現你無論何時的願望
親愛的這都是你的
無論何地,任何地方,親愛的這是你的世界,難道不是嗎?
親愛的這是你的世界,難道不是嗎?
我知道你渴望,男孩
我看到你已蠢蠢欲動
只需保持蹂躪
我將讓你滑入
只需將你的雙眸緊閉
如同地平線
準備就緒,愛為所欲
耶,耶,耶,耶
歌曲鑑賞
《High School》以一段莊嚴的提琴伴奏開場。說唱部分比較簡單乏味,沒有什麼特色,歌詞押韻得比較勉強,且過於大膽和露骨,有些描寫比較細緻。除了說唱部分,還有妮琪·米娜演唱的一小段抒情的R&B,其旋律十分曼妙,並且妮琪·米娜掌控的不錯。《High School》也比較敷衍,因為其下半段全靠旋律填充 。
歌曲MV
《High School》的MV於2013年3月11日在洛杉磯拍攝,由本尼·布執導,於4月2日上午在MTV首播 。在MV中,妮琪·米娜在露天泳池旁邊穿著粉色比基尼散步。隨後,李爾·韋恩開著車出現。黑幫和李爾·韋恩進行交易,並把妮琪·米娜介紹給李爾·韋恩。鏡頭轉向站在泳池旁的李爾·韋恩,旁邊有兩個穿著泳裝的女人 。
隨後,穿著白色抹胸衣的妮琪·米娜開始和半裸的李爾·韋恩在床上男歡女愛,MV還不時地切入妮琪·米娜穿著瑩綠色泳裝在泳池旁邊做著挑逗的動作、妮琪·米娜穿著黃色連衣裙在草坪上走路的鏡頭。最後,妮琪·米娜和李爾·韋恩把黑幫的寶物盜走,兩人乘著直升機逃離了別墅 。
