Track No: 11

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 waitin', tell me you ain't six feet under
And tell me that you comin' back and 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 jumpin' 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
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've 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 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 ya
They 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
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
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
