Intro
Nicki Minaj Lyrics

You know, a lot of people ask me
I frequently get asked by many about my sudden fame.

why I feel, that, you know
Many people wonder why I believe in my success.

I've gotten a lot of notoriety so quickly
People think that I achieved fame too fast.

And, umm, I don't know
To be honest, I am not really sure.

People seem to be under the impression
People think that it is a certain way.

that, I made it to this point, FAST
People believe that I gained my fame quickly.

And, y'know obviously for me
But for me it is not the case.

I don't feel like that cause it's me y'know
I feel like I have worked hard for it since forever.

I feel like I've been doing it, for ten billion years
I feel like I have been doing this for an eternity.

But, every time someone says something like that to me
Still, whenever someone brings it up,

I remember to just thank God for, y'know, getting me this far
I remind myself to express gratitude to God for bringing me this far.

Cause sometimes you don't realize how far you've gotten
Sometimes it's hard to gauge how much progress you have made.

until you look around and, and you look at the people who
Until you compare yourself to others who were not as successful as you.

who, who, who are still trailing so far behind you
Who are still struggling and are not as successful as you are.

And I know that, that no matter what, it's
Regardless, I know in the end,

in the end it's not gonna be about my talent, y'know
It won't matter how talented I am.

It's not gonna be about my connections
It won't matter who I know.

It's not gonna be about my looks
It won't matter how I look.

It's, it's gonna be about, who wants it, the most
Ultimately, it's about who desires success the most.

Annnnd, I want it the most!
And, I am confident that I want it the most!
