Best
Nicki Minaj Lyrics

It was back in '07 did a couple of tapes
In 2007, I created a few mixtapes

Did a couple DVD's made a couple mistakes
I also made some music videos which weren't perfect

Didn't know what I was doing, but I put on a cape
Despite not being sure of myself, I acted confidently and took risks

Now it's which World Tour should I go on and take
Nowadays, I have many tour options to choose from around the world

See you told me I would lose but I won
You said that I'd fail, but look at me now, I'm successful

I might cop a million Jimmy Choo's just for fun
I can afford to buy many luxuries, such as shoes from Jimmy Choo

'Cause bitches couldn't take what was in me
Others didn't believe in me, but I had to prove them wrong

Australia, Sydney
I've performed in Sydney, Australia

Might run up in Disney, out in L.A. with Lindsey
I may visit Disney World and spend time with Lindsey Lohan in Los Angeles

Got the eye of the tiger, the lion of Judah
I'm strong and powerful like a tiger and a lion

Now it's me in my time, it's just me in my prime
Now is my time to shine, and I'm currently at my best

Everything I tried to teach 'em, they gone see it in time
The lessons I've tried to impart will eventually become clear to others

Tell them bitches get a stick, I'm done leadin' the blind
I'm tired of trying to guide others who won't listen, they can figure it out on their own

Got two shows tonight, that's Brooklyn and Dallas
I have two performances scheduled for tonight, one in Brooklyn and one in Dallas

Then a private party at the Buckingham palace
After the shows, I'll attend a private party at Buckingham Palace

Which means I gotta fly like a movie no commercial
I need to quickly travel between these events, like a movie without commercials

That's Young Money, Cash Money yeah I'm Universal
This hectic schedule is part of my success with the record labels Young Money and Cash Money, I'm well-known on a global scale

I hear they comin' for me
I hear that others are trying to compete with me

Because the top is lonely
Being at the top can be isolating and lonely

What the fuck they gon' say
What will they say to try and bring me down?

I'm the best bitch doin' it, doin' it
I'm the most talented out there, no one can compete with me

I remember when I couldn't buy my mother a couch
I recall a time when I couldn't afford to purchase furniture for my mom

Now I'm sittin' at the closin' bought my mother a house
Now I can buy her a whole house, I have come a long way

You could never understand why I grind like I do
Others may not comprehend why I work so hard

Mikiyah and Gulani while I grind like I do
I work hard for my loved ones, Mikiyah and Gulani

'C-c-cause even when my daddy was on crack, I was cracked
I had to deal with personal struggles, like my father's addiction to crack cocaine

Now the whole album crack you ain't gotta skip a track
Now my music is so good, you'll want to listen to every song

I ain't gotta get a plaque, I ain't gotta get awards
I don't need awards or recognition to prove myself

I just walk up out the door all the girls will applaud
My female fans will recognize and appreciate me without me needing to seek out their approval

All the girls will commend, as long as they understand
My fellow women will agree with me, as long as they see my perspective

That I'm fighting for the girls, that never thought they could win
I'm advocating for girls who have felt incapable of winning in life

'Cause before they could begin you told 'em it was the end
Others had discouraged these girls before they even had the chance to try

But I am here to reverse the curse that they live in
I'm here to break the cycle and give these girls a chance to succeed

Got two bones to pick, I'ma only choose one
I have two people I want to confront or criticize, but I'll choose just one

You might get addressed on the second album
I may call you out or express my thoughts on my next album release

Which means you can breath, tell that motherfucker say so
I'll give you a heads up before I call you out on my album, so you can speak up if you want to defend yourself

To all my bad bitches, I can see your halo
I can recognize and appreciate the strength and bravery of my fellow confident women

Ah, it's OK
It's alright

It's OK, long as you know
It's fine, as long as you understand

Long as you know
As long as you're clear on it

Long as you motherfuckers know
As long as you all are aware

I'm the best, best, best, best
I'm truly the best, no one can top me
