[Nicki Minaj, J. Cole - Let Me Calm Down lyrics]
For you for you
Let me, let me, let me, let me
Pull off and I always hit 'em
He actin' like I ain't always with him
My heart sayin' I love him while
I'm screamin' that I hate him
And it ain't no more debatin'
This time it's a ultimatum
I never forgot where I was at
The first day I met him
Yeah, it was love at first sight
But, I ain't never sweat him
I knew if it was meant to be
That one day I would let him
Twenty years later them decisions
I don't regret them
Just wish you would give me space
When I really need it
To be alone in my zone when I'm really heated
Just 'cause I am quiet
Don't mean you're defeated
Wish you ain't need me to
Feel like you're completed
Don't wanna say somethin' mean when
I don't mean it
Million missed calls, I don't wanna talk
Just did a detox, now I wanna spark
I wrote a line for you and it was beautiful
I made a song for you
And sang you're beautiful
Oh, you're so, so irresistible
Take me to somewhere mystical your soul
Do you know? For you I promise I'll try
For you, I promise I'll try
For you, I promise I'll try
Uh, havin' her ain't for the faint of heart
She bad as fuck, but hard to deal with
And it ain't her fault
She got ambition like the niggas
And the vision for herself
So she can't rest until she feel
Like she done made a mark
So if you love her
Then you gotta learn to play your part
Sometimes you gotta play the back
But when you do, make sure you play it smart
All these niggas want her
So they hatin' hard
They talkin' slick and make you
Wanna pull a Rated-R
You like her, love her like
A brother, like a manager, an A&R
Plus a therapist when it start rainin' hard
Her life was trauma filled
It left her with a tainted heart
Yet you the nigga that she
Wanna tat her name across
But, you need patience and a lot
Of extra faith from God
To keep the family together
At a time when it's so regular to break apart
So God forbid, y'all got a kid, therefore
I hate the thought it's you and her against
The world until there
Ain't no more breath from your lungs
I'm just a messenger
But God is who this message is from
I wanna send you my respect because
I rep for the ones
That hold they wifey down despite all
Of the extras that come word to Willy Smith
These silly niggas heckle and shun
As if they life is somehow perfect
And they never been plunged
Into a dark place
So I can't respect when it's done
It's family first through the worst
Comin' second to none, for real
I wrote a line for you and it was beautiful
I made a song for you
To say you're beautiful, oh
You're so, so irresistible
Take me to somewhere mystical your soul
For you, know
Let me, let me, let me, let me
Pull off and I always hit 'em
He actin' like I ain't always with him
My heart sayin' I love him while
I'm screamin' that I hate him
And it ain't no more debatin'
This time it's a ultimatum
I never forgot where I was at
