Dear Old Nicki Lyrics - Nicki Minaj

1 Maybe you died 'cause everybody asked me, "Where you at?"

2 I tried to channel you in hopes that I could stare you back

3 But it's like every intersection we just missed each other

4 You got your fans waiting, tell me you ain't six feet under

5 And tell that you coming back and you just took a break

6 Maybe I blamed you for everything – that was my mistake

7 In hindsight, I loved your rawness and I loved your edge

8 'Cause it was you who talked me down from jumping off the ledge

9 Your earrings bamboo

10 Your long nails, too

11 Your BMW

12 Every time you came through

13 You was the brave heart

14 You stole Wayne heart

15 You never switched it up

16 You played the same part

17 But I needed to grow

18 And I needed to know

19 Were there some things inside of me that I needed to show?

20 So I just deaded you

21 Left you in all black

22 But dear, old Nicki

23 Please call back

24 You told me you'd come when I needed you

25 And you said it so sweetly I believed you

26 But I'm standing here calling

27 I can't see you

28 But I am holding you, holding you, holding you to that

29 Yo, did I chase the glitz and glamour?

30 Money, fame and power?

31 'Cause if so that will forever go down my lamest hour

32 I should've kept you with me, gettin' at them nameless cowards

33 There was no match for you

34 Couldn't defeat your prowess

35 I had to make them changes – I hope you understood

36 You see for every bad, I did a ton of good

37 But you was underground and I was mainstream

38 I live the life now, that we would daydream

39 My only wish is you come enjoy it with me

40 Get on them conference calls

41 Go meet them lawyers with me

42 The money came, yeah

43 Tripled and quadrupled it

44 But I still miss us when we was just on some stupid shit

45 And it still fucked the media

46 They ridiculed you

47 Never believed in ya

48 They just deaded you

49 Left you in all black

50 But dear, old Nicki

51 Please call back

52 You told me you'd come when I needed you

53 And you said it so sweetly I believed you

54 But I'm standing here calling

55 I can't see you

56 But I am holding you, holding you, holding you to that

57 And yes I'm holding you, holding you, holding you

58 And yes I'm holding you, holding you, holding you

59 And yes I'm holding you, holding you, holding you to that

60 And yes I'm holding you, holding you, holding you

61 And yes I'm holding you, holding you, holding you

62 And yes I'm holding you, holding you, holding you to that
