Dear Old Nicki
[Verse 1]Maybe you died 'cause everybody ask me where you atI try to channel you in hopes that I could steer you backBut it's like every intersection we just missed each otherYou got your fans waiting tell me you ain't 6 feet underAnd tell me that you're coming back that you just took a breakMaybe I blamed you for everything that was my mistakeIn hindsight I loved your rawness and I loved your edge'Cause it was you who talked me down from jumping off the ledgeYour earrings bamboo, your long nails tooYour BMW every time you came throughYou was the braveheartYou stole wayne heartYou never switched it upYou played the same partBut I needed to growAnd I needed to knowThat there were something inside of me that I need to show
So I just deaded youLeft you in all blackBut dear old NickiPlease call back
[Chorus]You told me you'd come when I needed youAnd you said it so sweetly I believed youBut I'm standing here calling I can't see youBut I am holding you, holding you, holding you to that
[Verse 2]Yo, did I chase the glitz and glamourMoney, fame and power'Cause if so that will forever go down my lamest hourI should've kept you with me getting at them nameless cowardsThere was no match for you, couldn't defeat your powersI had to make them changes, I hope you understoodYou see for every bad, I did a ton of goodBut you was underground, and I was mainstreamI live the life now, that we would daydreamMy only wish is you come enjoy it with meGet on them conference calls, go meet the lawyers with meThe money came, yeah, tripled and quadrupled itBut I still miss us when we was just on some stupid shitAnd it's still fuck the mediaThey ridiculed you, never believed in you
They just deaded youLeft you in all blackBut dear old NickiPlease call back
[Chorus]You told me you'd come when I needed youAnd you said it so sweetly I believed youBut I'm standing here calling I can't see youBut I am holding you, holding you, holding you to that
And yes I'm holding you, holding you, holding youOh, yes I'm holding you, holding you, holding youAnd yes I'm holding you, holding you, holding youTo that
And yes I'm holding you, holding you, holding youOh, yes I'm holding you, holding you, holding youAnd yes I'm holding you, holding you, holding youTo that
