[Nicki Minaj]
yo, all I do is win aint that the reason that you really mad
undisputed hailing all the way from Trinidad
I aint mad Ma, I see you with your bummy swag
I’m in that money green Jag lot of money bags,
I told Khaled that you the best but I’m the bestest
better run for cover if your name is on my checklist
you can talk slick all the way down to the welfare
as the IRS b-tch I’m paying for your healthcare
While I find it very clever, and her performance in the "All I Do Is Win (Remix)" video is Oscar worthy, the bold lyrics are making me sigh with disappointment. When I first heard that on the radio, I was mortified. I know having a less than savoury relationship with her father isn't supposed to make her relate to ...oh, ... "those without", and because I don't know what her money situation was growing up, but... I'd think the situation with her dad would leave her with a *spark* of compassion for others in general. But, I guess when you've got to boast in these types of songs, true or not, you've got to do it. Business is business, rhymes are rhymes. Ephemeral boasting, ...'til they repossess your s***.
D*mn, Nicki, damn.
It's still d*mn clever, though.
ETA: I mean, ... it's like Mariah and "Obsessed". The ego is mortifying. Not EVERYONE is "obsessed" with you, Mariah, and they'll especially find you nasty if you belittle a man because he wasted his time on your crazy, psychopathic a**. There's being a diva, a la, Beyonce, and then there's being a horrible, concieted person.
Just lyrics, but never-the-less.
Also: Lil' Kim is HEAVENLY.
(and I hate you, Nick Cannon)
