Dear Old Nicki

Maybe you died caus' everybody ask me where you at
I try to channel you and hopes that I could stare 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're coming back and you just took a break
Maybe I blamed you for everything that was my mistake
And hindsight I loved your rawness, and I loved your edge
Caus' it was you who talked me down from jumpin' off the ledge
Your earrings bamboo, your long nails too, your BMW
Everytime you came through
You was the brave heart, you stole Wayne heart
You never switched 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 holding you, holding you, holding 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 should have 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 hoped you understood
You see for every bad, I did a ton of good
But you was underground and I was main stream
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, 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 debted 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 holding you, holding you, holding you to that

Other
And yes, I'm holding you, holding you, holding you
And yes, I'm holding you, holding you, holding you
And yes, I'm holding you, holding you, holding you
To that
