Dear Old Nicki lyrics

[Verse 1]

Maybe you died 'cause everybody ask me where you at

I try 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 waiting tell me you ain't 6 feet under

And tell me that you're coming back that 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 jumping off the ledge

Your earrings bamboo, your long nails too

Your BMW every time you came through

You was the braveheart

You stole wayne heart

You never switched it up

You played the same part

But I needed to grow

And I needed to know

That there were something inside of me that I need to show

So I just deaded you

Left you in all black

But dear old Nicki

Please call back

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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've kept you with me getting at them nameless cowards

There was no match for you, couldn't defeat your powers

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, 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 you

They just deaded you

Left you in all black

But dear old Nicki

Please call back

[Chorus]

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

And yes I'm holding you, holding you, holding you

Oh, yes I'm holding you, holding you, holding you

And yes I'm holding you, holding you, holding you

To that

And yes I'm holding you, holding you, holding you

Oh, yes I'm holding you, holding you, holding you

And yes I'm holding you, holding you, holding you

To that
