Fly (feat. Rihanna)

Nicki Minaj · Pink Friday [2010]

I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive

I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise

To fly-y-y-y-y, to fly-y-y-y-y



Uh, Yo, Yo, I wish today it would rain all day

Maybe that'll kind of make the pain go away

Tryna forgive you for abandoning me

Praying but I think I'm still an angel away



Angel away Yeah strange in a way

Maybe that is why I chase strangers away

They got their guns out aiming at me

But I become Neo when they aiming at me



Me-Me-Me against them

Me against enemies me against friends

Somehow they both seem to become one

A sea full of sharks and they all smell blood



They start coming and I start rising

Must be surprising I'm just summising

I win, thrive, soar, higher

Higher, Higher, More Fire (Whoo!)



I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive

I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise

To fly-y-y-y-y-y, to fly-y-y-y-y-y



Uh, Yo, Yo, everybody wanna try to box me in

Suffocating every time it locks me in

Paint they own pictures than they crop me in

But I will remain where the top begins



'Cause I am not a word, I am not a line

I am not a girl that can ever be defined

I am not fly, I am levitation

I represent an entire generation



I hear the criticism loud and clear

That is how I know that the time is near

So we become alive in a time of fear

And I ain't got no motherfucking time to spare



Cry my eyes out for days upon days

Such a heavy burden placed upon me

But when you go hard your nay's become yay's

Yankee Stadium with Jay's and Kanye's (Whoo!)



I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive

I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise

To fly-y-y-y-y, to fly-y-y-y-y



Get ready for it, get ready for it

Get ready for it, I came to win

Get ready for it, get ready for it

Get ready for it, I came to win



I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive

I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise

To fly-y-y-y-y, to fly-y-y-y-y
