All The Lyrics They Had To Censor From ‘WAP’ At The Grammys
The first ever live performance of “WAP” went down (haha) Sunday night at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. But when Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion performed the number on live television — surprise! — they had to edit out a few lyrics. We did a word-for-word comparison of the lyrics to the original song “WAP” and the version that aired Sunday night on network television to reveal every bit they edited out.
The full Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B performance was 8 minutes and 36 seconds, and included four tracks total. The set is a fabulous performance, and is included at the bottom of this post. But for the purposes of this exercise, we are only considering the lyrics to “WAP,” which starts at the 1:30 mark of the video below. We’ve gone through and noted every edit that they made to “WAP” so they could perform it on network television.
I said, certified freak
Seven days a week
Wet [and gushy]
Make that pull-out game weak, woo (ah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Swipe your nose like a credit card
Hop on top, I wanna ride

[Look at] my mouth, look in my [thighs]
[It’s what] is wet, come take a dive
Tie me up like I’m surprised
Let’s role play, I’ll wear a disguise
I want you to park that big Mack truck
Right in this little garage
Make it cream, make me scream
Out in public, make a scene
I don’t cook, I don’t clean
But let me tell you how I got this ring (ayy, ayy)
Gobble me, swallow me, drip down the side of me (yeah)
Quick, jump out ‘fore you let it get inside of me (yeah)
I tell him where to put it, never tell him where I’m ’bout to be

Now make it rain if you wanna
See some wet [wet wet] (yeah, yeah)
Look, I need a hard hitter, I need a [deleted]
I need a Henny drinker, I need a [woo!] smoker
Not a garden snake, I need a king cobra
With a hook in it, hope it lean over
He got some money, then that’s where I’m headed

One entire section of the song was deleted. Here are the lyrics to the deleted section:
Your honor, I’m a freak bitch, handcuffs, leashes
Switch my wig, make him feel like he cheating
Put him on his knees, give him something to believe in
Never lost a fight, but I’m looking for a beating (ah)
In the food chain, I’m the one that eat ya
If he ate my ass, he’s a bottom feeder
Big D stand for big demeanor
I could make you bust before I ever meet ya
If it don’t hang, then he can’t bang
You can’t hurt my feelings, but I like pain
If he fuck me and ask, “Whose is it?”
When I ride the dick, I’ma spell my name
Ah (whores in this house)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, you fucking with some wet-ass pussy
Here is the full performance of Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B at the Grammys.
