Overall Meaning
The song "What These Bitches Want" by DMX ft. Sisqó is about the rapper's experiences with women, specifically about the various women he's met and been with, who all want different things from him. In the track, DMX discusses how he keeps his distance from women who catch feelings for him, only to "steal their sh*t and leave like a thief in the night." He also mentions how women often try to jeopardize his relationship with his wife. However, he still accommodates the women by blinging them with jewelry and expensive gifts while trying to keep the situation under control.
The chorus repeats the question "What these bitches want from a nigga?" emphasizing the complexity of understanding women's desires while addressing them with the racialized term "n*gga" instead of the less offensive term "man" or "dude."
