Artist: Nicki Minaj Album: Pink Friday Song: Dear Old Nicki Typed by: stillswish@yahoo.com [Verse 1- Nicki Minaj] Maybe you tired 'cause everybody askin where you at I tried to channel you in hopes that I could steer you back But this like every intersection we just missed each other You got your fans waitin, tell me you ain't six feet under And tell me that you comin back and you just took a break Maybe I blamed you for everythin that was my mistake In hindsight, I loved your hornets and I loved your edge 'Cause it was you who talked me down from jumpin off the ledge Your earrings bamboo, your long nails too Your BMW everytime you came through You was the Braveheart, you stole Wayne heart You never switched it up, you played the same part But I need to grow and I needed to know Were there some things inside of me that I needed to show So I just deaded you, left you in all black But dear Old Nicki (please call back) [Chorus- Nicki Minaj] You told me, you'd come when I needed you And you said it so sweetly, I believed you But I'm standin here callin, I can't see you But I'm holdin you, holdin you, holdin you to that [Verse 2] Did I chase the gleams and glimmer, money, fame and power 'Cause if so that will forever go down my lamest hour I shoulda kept you with me, gettin at them nameless cowards They was no match for you, couldn't defeat your powers I had to make them changes, I hope you understood You see for every bad I did a ton of good But you was underground and I was main stream I live the life now that we would day-dream My only wish is you come enjoy it with me Get on them conference calls go meet the lawyers with me The money came yeah, I tripled it, quadrupled it But I still miss us when we was just on some stupid shit And its still fuck the media They ridiculed you, never believed in ya They just deaded you, left you in all black But dear Old Nicki (please call back) [Chorus] [Bridge: Nicki Minaj] Yes I'm holdin you, holdin you, holdin you And yes I'm holdin you, holdin you, holdin you And yes I'm holdin you, holdin you, holdin you to that And yes I'm holdin you, holdin you, holdin you And yes I'm holdin you, holdin you, holdin you And yes I'm holdin you, holdin you, holdin you to that
