Born To Be Wild
Nicki Minaj Lyrics

I was just a player in the game of love
I used to play the field in love until I met someone special.

Til she came and turned me tables around
She changed my perspective on love and turned my life around.

Stacking up mi chips
I was building up my wealth and security.

Lining up all mi cups
I was preparing for success and good fortune.

Still they all came tumbling down
All my plans and hopes crumbled apart.

Man I think I might, think I might make her the one
I'm considering making her my partner for life.

Take them stealing me up on the run
I want to leave my past mistakes behind and start anew with her.

She hits me like a shot gun, I'm done
Her love and power over me is irresistible.

If love is the beat, she's the stead of my drum
She keeps me centered and anchored, like the beat of a song.

Fly me away, the kingdom come
I want to escape with her to a perfect world, like heaven.

She got me going daram-dam-daram-dam
She excites and energizes me, like the beat of a drum.

Hey-o, hey-o, I was born to be wild
I have a natural instinct to be free-spirited and adventurous.

Oh no oh no, till love shot me down
I wasn't expecting to fall in love, but she won me over.

I'd rather die a thousand times, than live without your love
I cannot bear to live without her love; it's essential to my happiness.

Love was just a word till I bought me a baller
I didn't understand love until I achieved a certain level of success and comfort.

Oh you everything for holding me down
She provides me with the stability, support, and comfort I need.

I'm telling all my homies that mi find mi a queen
I'm proud to have found the perfect partner and want to share my joy with my friends.

In the jungle so you facing the crowd
We're taking on the world together, like a team in the wild.

Ooooh, I'm blown away
Her love and affection have completely overwhelmed me.

If you will die then why would you try
Why would you bother trying if you're not willing to take chances and make sacrifices?

And if you apply, a suit and a tie
Even if you dress the part of a responsible adult, it doesn't guarantee success in love or life.

It's what I will buy then you will be mine
If you meet my standards and expectations, I'll consider making you mine.

Because you and I, we're born to be wild
We share a natural inclination to be free-spirited and adventurous.

I am Martha, you King Arthur
I am strong and independent, while you are gallant and heroic.

Who knew you would land me
I never expected to fall in love with someone like you.

I be known to eat these rappers, cook 'em like chef Ramsey
I have a reputation for defeating my opponents and coming out on top.

Mission accomplished, you're my accomplice
Our shared goals and victories make us partners in crime.

Cove on vogue, yeah I'ma go topless
I'm confident and unafraid to show off my assets and beauty.

I'ma go bonkers, I'ma go crazy
I'm going all out and pushing my limits, both mentally and physically.

I'ma get reckless then have a baby
I'm willing to take risks and be daring, even if it means starting a family.

Then hang a baby off on the balcony
I'm not afraid to be unconventional or controversial, even if it shocks others.

Teach him the moonwalk, Tell him he's japanese
I'll teach my child unique skills and celebrate their heritage and identity.
