Nicki Minaj - Dear Old Nicki lyrics

Mmm, oh mmm
Yo

Maybe you died 'cause everybody ask
Me where you at
I tried to channel you in hopes
That I could steer you back
But it's 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 everything
That was my mistake in hindsight
I loved your rawness and I loved your edge
'Cause it was you who talked me
Down from jumpin' off the ledge
Your earings bamboo, your long nails too
Your BMW every time you came through
You was the brave heart
You stole Wayne heart
You never switched it up
You played the same part
But I needed 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

You told me you'd come when I needed you
And you said it so sweetly, I believed you
But I'm standing here calling
I can't see you
But I am holdin' you, holdin' you
Holdin' you to that

Yo, did I chase the glitz
And glamour, 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 prowess
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 mainstream
I live the life now that we would daydream
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 and quadrupled it
But I still miss us when we
Was just on some stupid shit
And it's 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

You told me you'd come when I needed you
And you said it so sweetly, I believed you
But I'm standing here calling
I can't see you
But I am 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
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
