Freedom
Nicki Minaj · Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded — The Re-Up [2012]
To never thank me for the opening tours
But they aint even thank Jesus when he died on the cross
Cause your spirit is ungrateful
Bitches is so hateful, I remain a staple
My career's been a pink prink,
When I retire tell 'em 'think pink'
Pink Friday is the imprint
And these bitches basic instinct
Oh shit, my commercial's on,
Did I really buy these bitches with commercial songs?
Did I really pop and sign everything I do?
But before I continue, let me thank my crew
So that was young wayne, Mac Maine, Baby and Slim Kane
Tez and Tia told me it would be in vain
Cause prior to me singing I could'a went insane
And even now I think do I really want this fame?
Let me hit up and go
700 to go, overseas for a show
Everybody get quiet when I'm starting a show
Man i perped these artists and I'm starting to show
[Chorus]
I feel free, I feel freedom
Why they mad? You should see them
Burn her up, 'cause its crazy in here
Crazy in here, crazy in here
X2
[Verse 2]
Who I wanna work with? Nobody.
99% of them is no party
Bitches acting like they killing shit, okay
When I check these bitches guns, no poddies
These niggas is fake lucks and opportunists
Niggas spend they last dime to say they copped the soonest
Why these niggas going broke to get your approval?
Pretty soon they be back up on our ramen noodles
Bible, queen is the title
And if you on my rifle then that means your suicidal
And if you in the club then it's a Young Money recital
I'm just that vital, I'm busy never idle
I'm your idol, I'm your idol
I'm your motherfucking idol
Pink Friday in Maceys
Thongs and some pasties
When the other female rapper perform in here?
Cause I must'a missed it
12 milli to kick my feet up
Get ready, this the re-up
[Chorus]
I feel free, I feel freedom
Why they mad? You should see them
Burn her up, 'cause its crazy in here
Crazy in here, crazy in here
X2
[Breakdown]
Mirror, mirror won't you realise
I just have to decide
Who hiding from
You hiding from
Mirror, mirror won't you realise
I just have to decide
Who hiding from
You hiding from, hiding baby
Would you, would you give your
Would you, would you give your
Would you, would you give your
All for all?
Would you, would you give your
Would you, would you give your
Would you, would you give your
All for all?
[Chorus]
I feel free, I feel freedom
Why they mad? You should see them
Burn her up, 'cause its crazy in here
Crazy in here, crazy in here
