This pussy goin' outside

About the Song: Outside by Cardi B
Outside is the lead single from Cardi B’s upcoming album, Am I The Drama?. This song is speculated to be a diss track for her ex, Offset. Cardi B was quoted to have said that she was “very, very angry. I had to change some bars because I was angry, honey,” when she wrote the song.
A Deeper Dive into the Song: Outside by Cardi B Lyrics Meaning
Intro
Cardi talks about double standards here. How men often have standards set for women they want to pursue, however get upset when women set the same standard. This is also about the speculation where Offset accused Cardi B of cheating during her Instagram Live, with Cardi clapping back with a “AND DID”. Cheating is bad, but this scenario solidifies Cardi B’s sentiment in this song part: how Offset is taking the issue public through social media about being cheated on when he himself has cheated.
Pre-Chorus
Cardi compares men to being dirty dogs who will sleep with anyone if given the chance, like her ex. Offset is rumored to be a serial cheater and would even sleep with sex workers. Cardi also refers to her ex as a bitch here, which is meant to be an insult. The slang bitch can have different meaning and can be used as a compliment (most of time, backhanded) or insult. In this context, it is used as a derogatory term because she sees him as inferior.
Chorus
Cardi is celebrating her freedom and saying that she will do whatever she wants because she can. It felt like she had been in prison for staying with her ex, and now that she had left him, she could enjoy her freedom.
Verses
Cardi has been known to be faithful to Offset for years, even having kids with him, despite being a cheater. She has had enough and decided to give him a taste of his own medicine. She expresses that she might get a new man who’s taller, bigger, and better than him, like an NBA player. She also subtly takes a dig at Offset for having a fragile ego because he had to have Chloe Bailey call him a “king”.
Cardi also referenced LeBron and Savannah James. She implies that Lebron is the real “king” and he and his wife are the real “royalties” because of their respectful and strong relationship.
Cardi is also saying she can get a man if she wants to and be wild, but she can also be celibate if she chooses to.
Outro
Cardi is saying that she is now giving her career a higher priority and that her ex will be ignored if he keeps trying to reach her. She also implies that it is none of her ex’s business who she goes with and what she does.
