We Ain’t No Cheerleaders Lyrics

[DANIELLE]
We ain't no cheerleaders
We don't do favors for no football team
Don't get it twisted, this isn't your sorority sisters
Singing, swishin'
"Rah rah, sis boom bah!"
Nuh uh

[NAUTICA & LA CIENIGA]
"Rah rah, blah blah blah"

[DANIELLE]
Sing it wit me if ya feel me
We don't get down with no pom-poms

[NAUTICA & LA CIENIGA]
Hell to the naw!

[DANIELLE]
We bust our ass with every new routine

[DANIELLE, NAUTICA & LA CIENIGA]
When we roll through with our crew
No one can do what we do, it's true

[DANIELLE]
But we would still do it if no one was watching
[NAUTICA]
And let's be real, who could blame them for watching?

[DANIELLE]
When the DJ plays our song
And it all goes down as planned
We’re in the pocket
We’re poppin' and lockin'
You prob'ly go shoppin
With your daddy's credit card in your hand

[NAUTICA]
Ooooh

[DANIELLE (WITH NAUTICA & LA CIENIGA)]
You can call us arrogant
But we work for what we have
Call us whatever is clever
Forever, please but don't you ever call us
"Rah rah, sis boom bah"

[DANIELLE]
You can call your therapist
And complain, "Those girls ain't right"

[NAUTICA & LA CIENIGA]
Ain’t right
[DANIELLE (WITH NAUTICA & LA CIENIGA)]
‘Cause every day, we get haters
Who say they can take us
Okay baby
If that helps you sleep at night

[DANIELLE]
But don't pretend like you know me

[NAUTICA & LA CIENIGA]
You don't know me

[DANIELLE]
Or you'll never get the chance

[DANIELLE & DANCE CREW]
Twirl your baton if you wanna
Rond de jambe at your momma’s

[DANIELLE]
We ain't gonna "Rah rah, sis boom bah"

[DANCE CREW]
"Rah rah, blah blah blah"

[DANIELLE]
Now would a cheerleader do this?
[DANCE CREW]
"Rah rah, blah blah blah"

[DANIELLE]
And would a cheerleader do that?

[DANCE CREW]
“Rah rah, blah blah blah"

[DANIELLE]
Didn't mean to scare you, honey

[DANCE CREW]
"Rah rah, sis boom—"

[DANIELLE & DANCE CREW]
Ha!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

This song occurs after Campbell suggests the Jackson dance crew could be/become a cheer-leading squad. Danielle is outraged by her suggestion, taking it as an insult, believing Campbell was implying the crew was not good enough as it was, and could be improved by becoming a cheer squad.

Notably, Jackson High does not have a cheer-leading squad. This may be why Campbell confused the dance crew for a would-be squad.
