I fell in love with this song the minute I heard it.

Look, I don’t dance now
I make money moves

Cardi B sings in the lyrics.

You in the club just to party
I’m there, I get paid a fee

She makes it known to her haters

They see pictures, they say, "Goals"
Bitch, I’m who they tryna be

She proclaims to those who may still be unaware.

Bodak Yellow is a great song. The fact that it was recently certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America having moved 10 million units is a testament to this.

It’s an empowering feel-good song that many people can relate to.

When Cardi sings about not dancing anymore — referring to the period in her life where she worked as a stripper to earn a living - she is empowering her listeners about progress when she mentions that she is now making money moves.

Her record deal, endorsements and incomes from various sources such as shows, and appearances are her money moves.

Most people can relate to being in places and situations in their lives, living in or working jobs that they felt or feel is not where they are supposed to be.
