Catch Me
Nicki Minaj Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Extracurricular,
parallel and then I am perpendicular
Hit 'em with the oh now that's just ridiculous
We could've kid up all these particulars
That could have been the homicide vehicular
You wasn't in to no state to speed off
You was buggin out, ya you was p'd off
We was just chilling up at the ski loft
Thinkin' we was on, you telling me we off
Your whole vibe changed when you got the phone call
That's the affect they call a snow ball,
Next thing you know I was running down the hall,
Saying, "Please come back, I have given my all."
I have given my all
Funny how you could always make me feel small
I have given my all

Catch me, catch me, I think I'm gonna fall
My mind is made up, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting on you, waiting, boy
My mind is set, I'm waiting on you
I'm waiting for you, waiting boy
Could you catch me, could you catch me,
Could you catch me?
I am waiting on you to catch me

You want it, oh, so bad to prove points
But your game always makes me lose points
And your game always makes me concur
That maybe I should have never taken you from her
But with all of the aforementioned
I am still trapped in your dimension
So I will be on the mountain waiting
'cause I am in need of more attention




Could've called back, just to say some
I'ma fall back, in the bass drum
Please come to, destination
I'm not doing well, exclamation
You succeeded at your attempts to make me
Need you desperately, to vindicate me
It's funny how you could always make me feel small
I have given my all

Catch me, catch me, I think I'm gonna fall
My mind is made up, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting on you, waiting, boy
My mind is set, I'm waiting on you
I'm waiting for you, waiting, boy
Could you catch me, could you catch me,
Could you catch me?
I am waiting on you to catch me

Oh, oh, OK, oh, oh, OK, oh, oh, OK
It's whatever you say,
Eh, eh,
It's whatever you say,
Eh, eh,

My mind is made up, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting on you, waiting, boy
My mind is set, I'm waiting on you,
I'm waiting for you, waiting, boy
Could you catch me, could you catch me,
Could you catch me?
I am waiting on you to catch me
