Cardi B is about to drop a track called ‘(Enough) Miami.’ Take a look at some of the lyrics

Cardi B has a new single coming out and surprise, surprise, the lyrics are NSFW.

OK, phew. “WAP” it’s not. But it’s not exactly the theme song for a “Frozen” sequel, either.

The much-anticipate­d track is called “Enough (Miami),” so, naturally, that caught our attention.

Though after looking over the lyrics and listening to a snippet (with the safety of earphones) on TikTok, we aren’t quite sure how much the track has to do with the Magic City at all.

Hint: It’s not exactly an ode to our famous beaches and sunsets.

Exhibit A: “Cheap and expensive, you know the difference. You know that it’s hittin’, you know what it’s givin’. Hair, nails, polar bear. I can survive in the coldest conditions,” Cardi raps. “I’m in Miami, I pull up on cruise ships. You in Miami, four h--s to a room...”

Locals: Do you see what we’re talking about? Like, what? At least Cardi knows and that’s all that matters.

It’s not surprising that the Bronx-born hip-hopper would name her latest release after our town, though. She has a lot of history with us, having performed here a number of times. The 31-year-old diva even managed to throw down a set on New

Year’s Eve at the Fontainebl­eau while going through a very public split with husband Offset, who was playing the same venue at the very same time.

Now that takes profession­alism, self-control and class.

Speaking of class, we couldn’t help but admire Cardi’s new cover art for “Enough (Miami),” laid, um, bare on her Instagram. The mother of two, in mermaid mode, takes it all off for the shoot, but manages to look somewhat demure.

It drops Friday, though the Bardigang already knows that. Most of the commenters on her Insta post were definitely buying what she’s selling.

“She’s not playing.”

“We ready!”

“She’s feeding us! Let’s eat!”

“I’m sorry for the person I’m about to become when this song launches.”
