Last Chance
Nicki Minaj琀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo I coulda' been had fame
Jump shot with a stupid ass aim
Cause you couldn't around the last name
So my crossover wins the last game
And it's ill right?
Switched up the flow, but it's still right
Go back to that, yea I still might
I'ma just do me, when it feel right uh
You can bring it any day
Natural Bad Ass, N.B.A.
That's my initials
That's why officials
Don't blow the whistle
Bang bang the pistol
And I'm and I'm bossy
Can't keep these hoes up off me
Damn the flow nasty, coffee
Don't treat me like the Pope and cross me

Yea this is my last chance oh, last chance oh
Yea this is my last chance, then shoot
I'm ready to shoot
I'm ready to shoot (ready to shoot)
I'm ready to shoot (ready to shoot)
I'm ready, I'm ready to shoot (ready to shoot)
I'm ready, I'm ready to shoot
I'm ready to shoot

I get it in though
No sexual innuendo
Nobody that I can just depend on
Until I touchdown in the end zone
And then they come out like roaches
P-P-Peck it away like vulchers
But little did they know
Distribute the payroll
Pick up the album, pick up the single
Sadly, I'm so business savvy
Similar protocol but the templates vary
Never been like me and never been like this
My flows are crisis they scream in high pitch
Uh gun cock, pause
And I'm well aware of the gun laws
Telling 'em that I'm running for the top Forbes
Headed-to-the-top dot org

Yea this is my last chance oh, last chance oh
Yea this is my last chance, then shoot
I'm ready to shoot
I'm ready to shoot (ready to shoot)
I'm ready to shoot (ready to shoot)
I'm ready, I'm ready to shoot (ready to shoot)
I'm ready, I'm ready to shoot
I'm ready to shoot

All the days of my life I have been waiting for this time
Could you believe now it's right before my eyes
Anybody trying to stop me better not fuck with me this time
Shoot, I'm ready to shoot into the sky

Yea this is my last chance oh, last chance oh
Yea this is my last chance, then shoot
I'm ready to shoot
I'm ready to shoot (ready to shoot)
I'm ready to shoot (ready to shoot)
I'm ready to shoot (ready to shoot)
I'm ready to shoot
I'm ready to shoot

Only one chance one bullet in the gun
This is my life and I only got one yea
The saftey's off and I put on stars
Oh stick 'em up, stick 'em up
Ready to shoot
Yeah yeah I'm ready to shoot
This is my life and I only got one yea




The saftey's off and I put on stars
Get ready, I'm ready to shoot
